LOS ANGELES – August 1, 2007 – CinemaElectric,
a leading global provider of mobile video, has re-launched under
new management, with an innovative focus on original, “made-for-mobile” content
and an expanded portfolio of brands and licensed properties. The
company has also expanded its operations with a new office in
Seattle.
The CinemaElectric executive team now includes Co-Presidents,
Adam Levin and Josh Kaye as well as Executive Vice President

film financing and distribution. Willner has an extensive
