chromecastFirst there was the VHS Tape, then there was the DVD, next came the Blu-ray disc, and Now it’s all about HD Streaming. The world of movie distribution keeps evolving, and if your not already ahead of the game then you will most likely fall to the wayside. By next year the average person will own or have access to an HD Flat Screen TV, this will fuel the need for more HD Content. At our company SGL Entertainment Headed up by myself and my partner Damien Dante, we have seen a surge of growth in HD Platforms such as Amazon Prime, Google Play, X-Box, Sony Playstation, M-GO, Roku, Chromecast and Amazon Fire TV.

Another way that people are watching movies and other media is on their Tablets and Smart Phones. You can be anywhere and watch anything you want On Demand, and that’s the key… On Demand!!!

Roku 3

We’ve come along way since the VHS Tape, and for those who have ventured outside the standard DVD Home Video Release, and into the world of HD Streaming life is good… Looking down the road I see a lot more in the way of On Demand HD Streaming including 4k Ultra and beyond. So, what is to become of the Theaters, DVD’s and Cable TV??? Well, for now they are still in the game. But, sales statistics are already showing a decline in old school media delivery, and unless they find a way to re-invent themselves, HD On Demand Streaming is soon to be King of the Hill. ~Jeffrey A.

SGL Entertainment Acquires “Reminiscence: The Beginning” a Truly Haunting New Film

Reminiscence: The Beginning

SGL Entertainment is pleased to announce that it has acquired the new and very avant garde sci-fi horror film “Reminiscence: The Beginning”. The movie directed by Akçay Karaazmak is based on true scientific events, telling a story of a couple trying to experiment with the unproved parallel time and black-hole theories. But what they will face is much beyond the human mind.

Reminiscence: The Beginning

SYNOPSIS: There are worlds, there are humans and there are Others. But there is only one Time which is the border between worlds. What if time breaks down? Slovakian physicist Michaela (Miska), discovers a new fact on magnetic fields and time-breaks, after her long researches. According to her calculations she found that every six years, intersections in the planets coordinates, causes temporarily gravity fields in the solar system. These gravity fields break the time for a very short period and can make a gateway to a black-hole. The estimated coordinates of one of these gravity fields that will occur on the earth, will take place in a town called Çeşme in Turkey. To examine this event, Michaela (Miska), and her boy friend took a trip from Slovakia to Çeşme. What they will face, is much more then what they expected.

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MOVIE TRAILER FOR “REMINISCENCE: THE BEGINNING”

“Reminiscence: The Beginning” Cast: Michaela Rexova, Serhat Karaaslan, Fatih Güler, Levent Turan, Özlem Begtaş, Şefika Karaaslan and Akçay Karaazmak. Written, directed and produced by Akçay Karaazmak.

From the producers of “V/H/S” and the director of “The Aggression Scale” and “Silent Night” Every child knows about the monster under the bed—Neal Hausman’s mistake was trying to fight it. Neal (Jonny Weston, Chasing Mavericks) has returned from a two-year exile following his tragic attempt to defeat the monster, only to find his father ticking ever closer to a breakdown, a new stepmother who fears him, and his little brother Paul (Gattlin Griffith, Green Lantern), terrorized by the same monster. While Neal and Paul work together to try and fight the nocturnal menace, their parents are taking desperate measures to get the family back to normal. With no support from their parents, the brothers have nothing to rely on but each other, and courage beyond belief.
