New Broadway Cinema is a motion picture production, distribution and web portal that will exclusively produce and distribute film adaptations of established theatrical stage productions using the Company's proprietary DigiTheater ™ production process.

Capturing the intimacy and excitement of a live stage play or musical on film or video has long proved difficult. This has been due, primarily, to the distancing video or film creates in translating the medium, the limitations of the stage and sets and the fact that contemporary audiences have been conditioned to a much different video viewing experience. Although the very successful plays and musicals have long proved a good source of material for the movie industry and there have been many successful versions of the big hits on film these all have been separate artistic adaptations removed from the stage and created and designed solely for the motion picture medium. Directly filming a live stage presentation, with its original cast, sets and costumes, despite using multiple cameras and other filming advances and techniques, has not been able to produce a good video or film experience.

New Broadway CinemaNew Broadway Cinema fuses the old (stage) and new (digital) to create a new "hybrid" kind of production. The original cast of the stage production and, in some instances certain props and stage dressings, are filmed, in performance, on an outside studio in front of a "green screen". The play's full performance is captured by HD cameras via multiple takes, close-ups, re-takes and all other traditional video or film production filming methods while the cast receives specific direction and blocking instruction for the film version. All of the play's or musical's sets, backgrounds or other effects are then inserted digitally in post production resulting in a new dynamic video form and filmic interpretation of the material. Many Hollywood blockbusters are now shot exclusively using a "green screen" ("Sin City", "300" etc.) and applying this concept to theater productions is a most natural progression of the technique and one which can be done on a very cost effective basis and which will now allow many more quality theater productions to be put on film and to be distributed and accessed in a commercial manner.

New Broadway Cinema will distribute its product through both conventional motion picture channels and via newbroadwaycinema.com. Subject to development and capitalization Its first production is expected to go before the cameras in 2012 and the Company has been granted a preliminary trademark from the US Patent Office for its DigiTheater process.
