Joshua Jackson says Liquid Media Group 'is a studio for the modern age'

Joshua Jackson may well be Hollywood's next big mogul.

Maybe not, but his company Liquid Media Group is doing what it can to help filmmakers independents get their movies done.

"In its most basic form, this is a studio for the modern era", m said Jackson earlier this summer shortly after being named interim CEO of Liquid Media Group. "I've been there as an independent producer. It's like pulling teeth trying to find the right agent to wrap it up, then find the right funding for it, then find the gap funding at the end for it, then find all the creatives you need to like get it done then get it edited, then finish it, then distribute it. »

Liquid Media's portfolio includes Indieflix, Digital Cinema United and iGems. Its latest launch is the Projektor distribution platform. “It takes a lot of bandwidth to try to guide something,” Jackson says. “What we want to be is that studio partner like the good old days, but less punitive on the money side. Our success is the filmmaker's success. But the idea is to create as many touchpoints as possible with each project so that we can help you find your audience and monetize your product."

Jackson is not looking to compete with powerful brokers like Netflix, Apple, Hulu or Amazon. "Ideally you're already making a movie for someone like Netflix," he explains. “They offered x amount of funding but you have to fill in a room and then you have to actually do the thing and then in the end they will take delivery. There are still plenty of touchpoints in there where we can ease the friction of getting the job done so you can deliver it to your distribution partner."

Liquid Media is also looking for content that may not be suitable for Netflix or Amazon. "There's a level of 30 below them and there's probably 120 below," Jackson says. "It's just a lot of noise to navigate and we want to be your partner in navigating that noise."

In its latest financial reports, Liquid Media's revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.657 million. dollars. This is an increase of 187% compared to the first quarter. According to the company, gross profit as of May 31 was $496,618, compared to a gross loss of $130,306 for the same period a year ago.
