Vision Films New Release ‘Made In Chinatown’ Prepping for Global Release  Spherex Logo  SANTA CLARA, Calif. – May 12, 2021 – ( Newswire.com )

Data and technology company Spherex announced today that they have partnered with global distribution company  Vision Films  and its latest release Made In Chinatown. Spherex will assess the feature-length film through their proprietary technology that examines the cultural appropriateness of content, ratings, key art, editorial, listings and compliance for the intended global market.

Made In Chinatown is available on streaming and cable platforms both domestically and internationally. The Chinatown-meets-Little-Italy comedy sensitively handles, with more commentary than spoof, the timely Asian immigrant experience, as well as racial stereotyping and labelling. The fast-paced romp features several real Kung-Fu Masters (Lo Meng, Chiu Chi Ling, Peter Ngai, Steven Chan, Paul Sun) and everyone’s favorite Wise Guys (Tony Darrow, Vincent Pastore, Raymond J. Barry) and is choreographed by Emmy® Award-winner James Lew, and a treasure trove of hidden mob movie references and quotes to delight cinephiles.

Collaborating with Spherex to adapt the film and its promotional assets for international audiences will allow Vision Films to distribute to global audiences more easily and at a faster rate.

“Films with cultural themes and references can be challenging to distribute internationally and can get lost in translation,” said Spherex Co-Founder and CEO Teresa Phillips. “We are working with the Vision team to take one of their top titles through the Spherex solution so they can reach the widest possible global audience with the highest amount of brand safety.”

Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films says, “We are thrilled that Spherex, a company that is primarily providing their services to the major studios, included Vision Films in their transition to include the Indie film distribution market. They have a multitude of services ranging from global ratings to the minute detail of being able to point out which elements may make the film appropriate for younger kids in one territory and older kids in another. This is extremely helpful for us to know what TV slots our films can work for especially when it comes to daytime television.”

Santa Clara, CA (March 27, 2024 ) — Spherex , a global technology and data company serving the Media and Entertainment industry, will showcase Spherex AI ™, its pioneering AI platform for video content compliance and analysis, at NAB 2024 in Las Vegas from April 13 to 17. The Spherex AI ™ platform empowers content owners to adapt their narratives for the broadest international audience while avoiding regulatory restrictions and censorship barriers. Spherex will be exhibiting at Booth W2217 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Spherex AI ™ drastically reduces the time and resources required for video content localization, mitigates the risk of cultural insensitivity or noncompliance, and enables creators to accelerate expansion and reach the right audience faster, cost-effectively, and without brand risk. The platform scans film, TV, or advertising content quickly and affordably, making it the ideal solution for verifying the suitability of any video content for any global market. “Today, content providers and streaming platforms must navigate complex regulations and cultural norms to operate successfully in different markets,” said Teresa Phillips, Co-founder and CEO of Spherex. “By seamlessly integrating sophisticated AI with cultural and regulatory insights, Spherex helps content creators, studios, distributors, and platforms unlock new markets, broaden their audiences, and increase revenue.” At the heart of Spherex AI ’s™ innovation is its proprietary AI technology, based on a decade of meticulous research and analysis of laws, regulations, and film/TV classifications in over 100 countries, as well as the screening of millions of film and TV clips for training and validation. Unlike conventional methods that employ AI and Machine Learning (ML) to identify objectionable content in a scene, Spherex uses advanced techniques to interpret the cultural context surrounding classifiable elements such as drugs, violence, sexuality, and profanity. Understanding the context is crucial because it's not just about the events happening in a video or who is involved; it's about comprehending the setting, characters, impact, and consequences. These factors are essential in determining local age ratings and cultural suitability for worldwide markets. To book a meeting with Spherex at NAB, contact Davinder Lu thra here .
