- The Movie Studio, Inc. (OTC: MVES) operates as a vertically integrated independent motion picture production and distribution company focused on acquiring, developing, producing, and distributing independent motion picture content for worldwide consumption via subscription video on demand (SVOD), advertiser video on demand (AVOD), over-the-top (OTT) platforms, foreign sales, and various media devices including theatrical releases; core offerings encompass a streaming library of hundreds of hours of movies accessible on TV, phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop with download capabilities, tiered subscription plans starting at free ad-supported access up to $4.99 monthly ad-free or $89.99 annual bundles, an audition submission function via its mobile app on Google Play and Apple App Store enabling subscribers to upload selfie videos for potential casting in productions under the "Watch Our Movies, Be in Our Movies!" and "Everyone's a Star" campaigns, monetized film assets on platforms such as Amazon, Tubi TV, Comcast, and Showtime, and a proprietary server-based OTT VOD platform integrating owned and aggregated feature films, television programming, and media intellectual properties with geo-fractured territories to eliminate third-party distribution fees.
Founded in 1961 and headquartered at 110 Tower, 110 S.E. 6th Street, Suite 1700, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the company pursues a growth-by-acquisition strategy targeting legacy and acquired films for upgrade, produces upcoming feature films including "Cause and Effect" (a Miami street drama), "The Last Warhead" (science fiction), and "PEGASUS" (family-oriented with electronic press kits, pitch decks, and trailers completed), and maintains a Florida subsidiary while listing video on demand, motion picture production, and distribution as principal services for global markets disrupted by cord-cutting trends favoring streaming over traditional pay TV.
Latest developments include the launch and final beta testing of The Movie Studio App with its disruptive audition feature to reduce casting costs, ongoing production and talent integration for the three-film slate with plans to add recognizable stars at value propositions, a new 150-day agreement with PEGASUS entered on July 3, 2025, initiation of a marketing campaign for the membership-based OTT streaming platform and app available on major app stores, generation of $145,059 in revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 primarily from VOD distribution, and navigation of ongoing SEC litigation against the company and CEO Gordon Scott Venters (trial set for November 3, 2025) alongside resolved judgments in related creditor disputes such as with Paul James Holdings, LLC.
