About Champion Entertainment, Inc.
Champion develops, produces and distributes compelling family and faith based content for the film and television industry. Champion is building a different kind of motion picture studio infrastructure by redefining the development, financing, production, and distribution process. Champion is a full service production company, offering production services for television, full length motion pictures, music videos, commercials and infomercials, new media production for corporate clients including live webcasts, streaming media, interactive and multi-platform media and a high definition rental broadcast uplink service and studio for live interviews with national media platforms. Champion Entertainment has offices/studios in Houston, Texas and Hollywood, California at Sunset Gower Studios. Champion is comprised of four divisions: Champion Entertainment, Inc., United Film Distribution, RW Productions, Inc., and CEI-Talent.
Champion's CEO, Kurt Neubauer stated, "Champion attempts to combine the efficiencies realized by studios of the early 1900's with the artistic focus and diversity of today's independent productions. Using this approach, we believe the risk-reward relationship facing the typical film project can be dramatically shifted. For example, whereas a typical film pushes artists and directors to rush development and production in hopes of conserving cash, Champion extends the pre-production cycle substantially to reduce costs while simultaneously increasing quality. Similarly, whereas a low-budget picture is severely limited by the types of postproduction technology used, due to budget constraints, we have invested directly in top of the line technology and will continue to invest in cutting edge film production equipment spreading the costs over a targeted number of original motion pictures each year. The goal of Champion is to develop the ability to consistently produce films with the look, feel and artistic content of multi-million dollar pictures, for a fraction of the cost."
