    Jasper, Summer and Dak, known more commonly as ‘The Trio’ have created a television series they – and I as their manager - believe will be ‘the next big thing’ in the television market.

A great number of the biggest theaters were owned and run by the studios during this time. As for any theaters that weren’t being run by studios, their only good choice was unfortunately to submit to studios’ terms or else they would forfeit their opportunity at a first-run screening.…
