Looking for a cofounder for MobMov. Featured in NY Times, NBC, more...
Disruptive film distribution: challenging traditional cinema-based licensing and distribution with a widespread community-powered network of car-powered drive-ins.
I don't know if this is really the crowd for it, but my mobmov project is showing some serious potential to finally take off. But I don't have the time or resources to drive it. I'm looking for a true founder-type to join me.
I've been running it for over 5 years. Without any PR at all, it's been written up in Time, AP News wire, BBC, New York Times .com front page (last week), BBC radio, NBC tv and tons of other places. We have over 12K in the mailing list now, and our SF/LA shows draw 150+ people. I've been approached by several agencies looking to sponsor, but nothing major has panned out yet (mostly my fault for not following up).
How is it a business? Well, for starters, we have a nationwide network of both chapter drivers doing shows and members interested in watching movies. We're one step and a few phone calls away from doing trailer deals, sponsorships ("lit by InFocus"), charging admission or membership; heck, disruptive film licensing and distribution are a possibility.
I'm posting this because, frankly, while I enjoy running the shows, I have no time at all to 1) work on the site, the code is a good two years old; so much can be done with it, geolocation, sms, etc 2) make the calls and connections needed to make it a "real" business.
If this idea excites you, and you see the potential, and you're a talented entrepreneur, email me: bryankennedy@me.com
I'd be interested in seeding it with some capital as well.
