ABOUT WAMC INTERNATIONAL

WAMC, Inc. is a distribution, production and entertainment financial consulting company incorporated in the United States in July 1995.

The founders of the company are Sidonie Herman and Dominique Bovio. Sidonie Herman ran production units and companies for over 25 years and since 1992, her specialty has been in securing production financing for international film and television co-productions. Today as Executive Vice President and CFO of WAMC, she is running the consultancy and the production departments of the company. Dominique Bovio brings over 22 years of marketing and advertising media expertise to WAMC's list of impressive credentials. Today, as President and CEO of WAMC, he is running the distribution department of the company.

Being recognized on an international level, WAMC has earned a reputation by effective managing fundraising, distributing, as well as being involved on all levels of production and co-production. In addition to WAMC's established history in "live-action motion picture production and financing", the company has developed an expertise in the field of financing and production in the world of international animation (The Neverending Story, Prince Valiant, Paddington Bear, Red Beard, Draculito, The Last Reservation, The Bellflower Bunnies, Princess of the Nile, etc.)

Since mid 90, WAMC finalized more than U$ 106 million co-production deals, and raised over U$ 57 million through North American or European co-producers, pre-sales, distribution minimum guarantees, gap financing, etc, to help these productions to be completed. These amounts do not include revenues coming from licensing and merchandise.

WAMC's original activity and expertise (consultancy) attracted European companies looking for international co-production partnership which include North America, but also North American independent production companies which wanted to work with European partners. WAMC's expertise and contacts have opened a door on the American market for foreign programs (Christian community, educational and institutional market, networks etc) and, conversely, WAMC has been actively identifying those American projects, which have the most potential in the foreign market.

As WAMC went along with recognition and success in its establishment, other activities cropped up. For the company, it was time to foresee the future, and build some assets up.




Therefore WAMC built up a catalogue of distribution rights. The company is distributing high quality and high potential programs. WAMC's distribution department secured a diverse catalogue of animated programs: feature films, direct-to-video, specials & animated series, (over 240 half hours) and documentaries.

But WAMC is also acting as producer on its own properties:


The Eyes of the Dragon, an animated feature films adapted from a novel by Stephen King, whose trailer has been presented at the Film Festival 2002 at Cannes o Panshel's World (52 x 13') an animated series whose production started in May 2003 o BugHouse Rock (26 x 13'), and Through the Mœbius Strip (13 x 26') adapted from the full CGI feature film to be released in 2004, two animated series for which WAMC is actually entered into development and financing.
