Curt Marvis is President of Digital Media at Lionsgate, a position he has held since April 2008. He oversees the entirety of Lionsgate's digital business portfolio, which includes the following: * Digital delivery agreements for filmed entertainment content * Equity investment in Break.com * FEARnet On Demand and FEARnet.com * EPIX premium entertainment channel * TV Guide Network and TV Guide.com As is the case for many studio executives behind digital distribution, Marvis' position can be challenging to define given that digital strategies span a number of different departments and a wide array of unlike business initiatives. In an interview with ''Variety'', Marvis described his job as interfacing with each of Lionsgate's departments (i.e., theatrical, television, home entertainment, music, corporate development, business development, channel business, and investor/financial community) to coordinate all revenue-generating functions related to digital strategies. In his own words: :"...()n the home entertainment group, for example, I get involved in everything from shifting windows, pricing issues, iTunes stuff, everything moving from the packaged goods business to the digital world. ...I go to the home entertainment meetings and deal with their issues, to the TV group, etc. I’m spread around all of that. I think you could describe my role in many ways as both business development and also as an implementer once we have a project we can wrap our arms around. So a lot of it is really identifying the issues we’ve got to take care of in each of the divisions of the company and we add resources as we need to."〔 ==Executive experience== Prior to joining Lionsgate, Marvis was co-founder and CEO of CinemaNow, for which Lionsgate was a lead investor since CinemaNow's founding in 1999. CinemaNow was acquired by Sonic Solutions in November 2008 for $3 million after having raised more than $40 million in venture capital over its lifetime.〔 He now serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He served as President of publicly held game developer 7th Level, where he led a restructuring into delivery of web-based technology applications. While at 7th Level, he created and implemented business partnerships with Microsoft, RealNetworks, GeoCities, broadcast.com, IBM, and MTV, and helped orchestrate the merger between 7th Level and privately held Street Technologies to form Learn2.com, a site providing training on Microsoft Office and Windows software as well as skills for business, sales, and communications. Prior to this, Marvis was co-founder and Executive Vice President of multimedia startup Powerhouse Entertainment, where he was a major contributor to the creation of 'Moviegames', a form of interactive entertainment that integrated original film footage with voice recognition technology. Moviegames debuted in two live-action CD-ROM games based on Disney's ''The Jungle Book'' and New Line Cinema's ''The Adventures of Pinocchio''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curt Marvis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
