HISTORY


Drawing on his entertainment industry background, Newmark toyed with different ideas to open up the film industry to the everyday person. While discussing this with Asian Academy of Film and Television head Sandeep Marwah, Newmark said that the process of developing and producing movies no longer needs to be consolidated in Hollywood and Mumbai .

That is the real purpose behind Open Source Pictures: to make the entertainment industry more accessible to the real people sitting outside the fence. You know what you want to see on screen. Nobody knows that more than you. By sharing and collaborating with everyone else, we will make the movies we have always wanted to see.

As a journalist, Newmark developed many breaking news and investigative stories originating in the Chicago area. After seven years with television station WMAQ-TV, an Emmy award for breaking news, and several other award wins and nominations, Newmark left Chicago for Amsterdam. He will receive his MBA in October 2007.
