Spincast TV and DiBacco Films/DiBacco Media Create Partnership
Posted On 2017-10-06  By Team Member  And has No Comment

International Motion Picture producers DiBacco Films will produce their next original Feature Film/hybrid series for Spincast TV. ‘The Possession’ slated to shoot in the spring of 2018 will be the sixth Worldwide distributed release for DiBacco Films. The Film/Series is about an artist that inherits his Great-Aunts Estate. Trying to raise money for his art, he sells many of the items from inside the house. He soon is visited by his aunt’s spirit and finds out that nothing should have left the home. The home and all of the belongings are cursed by a 17th century witch!

When asked about the partnership, film Director Kevin DiBacco said, “[Spincast is] the most exciting concept since Netflix”. DiBacco is banking on the future success of Spincast. “Traditional distribution is dead. The Independent filmmaker needs a way to produce content that can be sponsored.” DiBacco added, “This is the most exciting platform the Indie film community has ever had at a time when Hollywood is trying to eliminate the Independent filmmaker totally”.

Mario L Castellanos, Spincast CEO said, “Kevin DiBacco and his over thirty years of industry knowledge and experience presents a great opportunity for Spincast. Plus, he knows just about everyone in the business. We’ve already had preliminary discussions with producers of some terrific independent films, series and original titles initiated by Kevin and we get to pick his brain to boot!”

Updates on the project and the partnership of DiBacco Films and Spincast TV are available on www.themadmoviemaker.com.

Spincast to Carry Comedy Series “The Wallet”
Posted On 2017-07-12  By Team Member  And has No Comment

Spincast TV adds “The Wallet,” a different new comedy series by Mark F. Martino and Splashtastic Productions

Orlando, FL, July 12, 2017 –(PR.com)– “The Wallet” comedy series is a bunch of fun financial fantasies, but not the kind where people win lotteries or inherit insane amounts of money. Instead, the wallet gives each a fighting chance as they work to make their dream real. Like Gina, star of the pilot episode, who struggles to start her meatball business, gets turned down for a business loan again, then finds the empty wallet. She soon discovers that when she sees something she wants, exactly enough money for it appears in the wallet. The fun comes as she discovers in oh-so-many painful ways that wallet only works when it thinks she needs what she wants.

Mark F. Martino, President at Splashtastic Productions, when asked what inspired “The Wallet,”, stated “Hope is the driving emotion of “The Wallet.” The idea came during a road trip from Milwaukee to San Jose. Somewhere in Nebraska, my buddy and I got into talking about jobs and money. He said all he wanted was a magic wallet. One that was always empty. At the end of that car trip I went from working in commercial art to drafting and electrical engineering. That got me into software, computer graphics, and then into computer games. While programming scenes for “Leisure Suit Larry,” I wrote a backstory for a game. I turned the backstory into a novel and then into my first screenplay. Been doing it ever since.”

Mario L. Castellanos, CEO of Spincast, Inc. added, “The whole premise of Spincast is to bring, new and original programming to viewers worldwide. “’The Wallet’, a very funny new take on the Jeanie in a bottle theme, exactly fits this description.” He added, “Mark Martino has created a great series that appeals to the dreamer in all of us. Who doesn’t fantasize about having all their problems swept away but as each episode shows us, we can’t control our dreams can we.”

About Splashtastic Productions
Splashtastic Productions was formed to make “Waterslide,” a family comedy set in a water park. Since then its mission has broadened. We make comedies about quirky characters in odd situations. Often it’s a gal, a guy, and a gadget. But there’s always hope.

About Spincast
Spincast TV is the future of television broadcasting, delivered today, on all of the devices audiences love to use and watch. The Spincast TV Network is viewable through an app on your smart-TV, mobile devices and soon, the Web.

Posted On 2017-04-30  By Team Member  And has No Comment

Each spring and fall, Radio and Television Business Report (RBR+TVBR) publishes a Special Print Edition that is distributed to attendees at the annual NAB and RAB/NAB Shows. These Special Reports take an in-depth look at the key issues facing the industry and features interviews with its top newsmakers, Beltway movers and shakers, and financial stakeholders.

As part of their Spring 2017 Edition’s “An ‘Over The Top’ Friend, or a Threat?” RBR+TVBR editors interviewed Mario L. Castellanos, CEO of Spincast, Inc. who stated “Every other OTT platform has gone the sub route, and eventually there will be too many players seeking too many subscriptions.” Castellanos added: “I want every single local newscast, and every locally produced program, on Spincast,” Castellanos says. “This is how Spincast is designed to complement local TV, and not necessarily compete with it.”

Las Vegas, Nev., and Orlando, Fla. – NAB 2017: Spincast Reaches Accord to Air Content with First Local TV Broadcast Station
Posted On 2017-04-25  By Team Member  And has No Comment

Spincast TV secures “handshake agreement” with first LPTV Broadcaster to carry locally produced content worldwide.

Spincast TV is excited to announce it has informally secured the first local broadcast station to join the Spincast Network. Formal agreements are still in the works for the unnamed station however the station produced programming content will air through the Spincast Network, giving their popular locally produced shows a global audience. With this agreement, Spincast paves the way for local broadcasters worldwide who produce quality local news and information programming, to access a worldwide market normally beyond their reach.

Today’s traditional media entertainment market removes viewer choice to content, regardless of the source, even with the highly promoted “skinny bundle”.  The viewer has no alternative than to accept what is forced upon them by network programming executives. While Spincast does curate for broadcast quality, we do away with that traditional “greenlighting” decision. By airing all professionally produced content available from around the globe, Spincast places the ability to decide what to watch were it should be – in the viewer’s eyes. Content success will be determined only by the quality of the product and the desire of the masses to want it. And since our model is founded on providing programming of every genre thus appealing to every viewer, as opposed to a limited 24/7 lineup which is typical of traditional OTA and even new media OTT Broadcasters, the availability of thousands more programs reduces if not eliminates churn. The viewer stays within the Spincast Network.

Further increasing the need for Spincast, is the steady decline of viewers for local TV Stations, according to several studies. These local Stations not only provide newscasts, but produce their own programming that often must compete for timeslots as the affiliate of a national Network. For local low power broadcasters (LPTV), the data is worse. In the U.S., the recent (April/2017) move by the FCC to double the cap for Station group ownership effectively decreases their survival chances by allowing larger and financially more powerful broadcast groups to “buy the market”.  With digital video attracting high CPMs, consolidating the inventory within the Spincast Network would make it easier for advertisers to buy spots on Station produced newscasts and programming.

Mario L. Castellanos, CEO of Spincast, Inc. stated “The FCC’s move has forced us to speed-up what was already on our roadmap. We’ve always felt local markets are important to a global audience. Every market, every region, every country has its own culture and distinction. Now with Spincast, local broadcasters can show the rest of the world what their world is like.” He added, “And with our SPAADE technology, we can provide ads specific to what a viewer is interested in their market without the need to invade their privacy like subscription models do.”

Las Vegas, Nev., and Orlando, Fla. – NAB 2017: Spincast Enhances SPAADE™, Spincast’s Programmatic Addressable Advertising Distribution Engine
Posted On 2017-04-24  By Team Member  And has No Comment

Just in time for the NAB Convention, Spincast provides an upgrade and enhancements to SPAADE™ including greater capabilities for non-invasive psychographic segmentation.

Said Mario L Castellanos, CEO, “A key component of our Spincast TV Network is our ability to use non-invasive psychographic segmentation to deliver programmatic TV ads. We do this with our proprietary technology, SPAADE™.  The advertisers get a captive audience and the viewer sees just the right amount of ads that specifically appeal to their lifestyle, activities and interests. Everybody wins!”

Spincast’s “Addressable Advertising Delivery Technology Engine”, or SPAADE™, allows Spincast TV to deliver a unique set of actionable sponsored ads to any video platform, location, and viewer, in real-time based on that viewer’s unique affinity, daypart (dividing the broadcast day into several parts), geographic, or demographic attributes at the time the ad is to be viewed. Sponsors using SPAADE™ can deliver their video for traditional television commercial spots in real-time across Spincast’s entire inventory of on-demand  programming and live linear feed viewable in any venue, based on the viewer characteristics they choose. This is ideal for traditional sponsored television ad campaign objectives such as brand awareness, local awareness, and event promotion. In other words, two separate yet nearby individuals watching the same program could receive completely different advertising based on their specific likes.

SPAADE™ television ad campaigns can also include calls to action on mobile devices These are ideal for driving online sales, travel bookings, lead generation, website traffic, and app installs that are especially valuable to direct marketers as well.

SPAADE™ was originally created for Spincast’s internal needs. Its OTT device and player agonistic independent, server side, drop in, cloud based solution provides superior performance on any platform. As we began partnering with others in the industry, it became apparent SPAADE™ can provide solution the wider marketplace requires.
