Digital Media has quickly changed the face of distribution for news, music and books, and a similar sea change is taking place in the film industry. Erick Opeka, VP of Digital Distribution for New Video, will provide a comprehensive overview of the current and future digital distribution landscape. Topics covered will include current business models (ad-based, transactional, subscription & VOD), current distribution platforms (iTunes, gaming consoles, Hulu, Netflix, etc.), marketing & merchandising, and future trends. Erick will also lay out several key strategies for securing a digital distributor and maximizing revenue.

New Video is a leading entertainment distributor and the largest aggregator of independent digital content worldwide. As Vice President of Digital Distribution, Erick Opeka directs the company’s content strategy, development and operations across multiple digital platforms, including cable TV, subscription and ad-supported video-on-demand (VOD), electronic sell-through, TV, and IPTV. Erick’s team manages content distribution for more than 400 filmmakers, TV and film producers, and small to midsize distributors. Previously, he spearheaded New Video’s business development efforts, leading to the company’s selection as the first iTunes aggregation video partner.
