JAMAN ROLLS OUT INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
Growth of Film Site Leads to New Content Acquisitions, Executive Hires and Launch of UK Property
San Mateo, CA -- January 14, 2009 -- Jaman.com, a leading global community and online destination for high-definition and quality entertainment, is meeting the demands of its international audience by increasing its library of content and expanding into the lucrative European marketplace. With international members accounting for more than 70% of the site's users, Jaman marks its initial global expansion by introducing its first localized site in the United Kingdom.
Industry veteran David Fischer, former executive vice president and managing director of MySpace and Fox Interactive Media, will serve as managing director of Jaman's UK and international operations. Based in London, Fischer will be responsible for international business operations.
The UK site debuts with more than 1000 titles, including those from leading film companies such as BFI (British Film Institute), Pathé Films, ContentFilms and Axiom Films.
Jaman also announces today the addition of a number of new titles to its global collection, including feature length films and series from Cinelan, Reality Entertainment and Mondo Mini.
The newly-acquired content complements Jaman's extensive library of world cinema titles, which includes international dramas, comedies, documentaries and shorts, Japanese anime titles and Bollywood hits. Globally, Jaman has more than 4,500 films in its catalogue.
"In a little over a year, our unique library of films has helped us grow into audiences across the globe," said Gaurav Dhillon, CEO and founder of Jaman. "With our new UK site and acquired content, we are not only able to continue to deliver high quality films, but are able to cater that content to specific audiences around the world."
Jaman launched in 2007 with a library of award-winning independent and international films and quickly amassed a community of global films fans. Already one of the largest and fastest growing film websites in India, Jaman plans to continue launching localized sites in a number of regions.
The company recently announced a partnership with TiVo to make Jaman's world-class films available in any living room in America - offering a whole new level of entertainment options for film lovers around the country.
