(1888PressRelease) April 24, 2015 - AMG Global Entertainment has entered a multi-year agreement with Shami Media Group's Home Entertainment division, with the distributor set to handle all marketing, sales and distribution services for Blu-ray, DVD, Electronic Sell-Through and TVOD platforms for the newly formed studio's theatrical releases, the companies announced Thursday.

AMG handles its own production, marketing and distribution of its theatrical projects, and recently announced it will release between 3 and 5 films starting in late 2015.

"Shami Media Group has one of the most aggressive and inventive home entertainment teams in the industry," said AMG chairman Mark S. Berry in a statement. "Their philosophy of being platform agnostic and allowing for growth in new and emerging areas of delivery is very exciting. We could not have more confidence in their ability to represent AMG Global's new catalogue of motion pictures in the home entertainment marketplace."

Bob Shami, President Shami Media Home Entertainment comments - "AMG is a company that I have really admired over the last few years. Both the music and film industries have been in a perpetual flux, but as a modern business AMG demonstrates that progressive thinking puts you at the top of your game. Mark Berry, Music Producer & AMG are packing a big international punch with the deals they have been putting on the table lately for their films and artists."

AMG's upcoming films include 2 James Brown projects, one being his last live performance shot in Anaheim, CA in 2006 just prior to his passing inter-cut with family and archival footage and a holographic imaging film of Mr. Brown's classic hits in collaboration with urban based superstars. Both are AMG productions.

AMG's most recent success was the international theatrical release of DRAKE Homecoming - The Lost Footage.
