Norm Joins KINO Studios as Advisor

KINO Studios, the new viral app for film fans just landed in the App Store and has rapidly surpassed 700k monthly engagements. The KINO Studios app is where filmmakers and actors have all the tools to monetize their fan communities during production, turning behind-the-scenes content, special merchandising and promotion into direct revenue streams.  And, by its very nature, it grows an army of superfans (and all the in-app data) to better market and sell their films/shows at the box office and to streamers.

Slow Ventures and Sequoia Capital-backed, founded by a team of veteran founders with multiple exits under their belts, including an entertainment lawyer turned founder, executive producer who has created and sold shows with Kimmel, Damon, Stallone, and more, and CTO who created TSA Pre-Check and led other major tech builds.
