“Independent filmmakers have more ways than ever to make a great film, and it has never been harder to get one funded and seen. Cube X Media is designed to help change that, and the right people are what make it work. Richard brings decades of marketing and branded entertainment experience, and Thomas brings the production depth to help projects move from pitch to screen. I’m excited to have them on the team as we start building,” said Minh Collins, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of GBT Technologies Inc.
“Too many great independent films never find their funding or their audience because the marketing shows up too late. I’ve spent my career connecting brands, media, and entertainment, and Cube X Media is where we put that experience to work for filmmakers, from the first pitch to the premiere. We invite filmmakers, film fans, and brand partners to follow along as we build,” said Richard Taw, Chief Marketing Officer.
