Houston-based systems integrator becomes latest addition to MTI Films' international reseller network.
MTI Film has added Net Brains I, LP, a Houston-based systems integrator focused on Mexico and other Latin American markets, to its international reseller network. Net Brains will market and support MTI Film‘s Cortex line of workflow solutions to broadcasters and film and television producers in its territory. It will also market Correct DRS®, MTI Film‘s industry-leading film restoration platform. Net Brain’s clients include Televisa, TV Azteca and Genomma Lab International, as well as numerous independent producers and post-production service providers.
“We are very pleased to partner with Net Brains in introducing Cortex to Mexico and Latin America,” said MTI Film Director of International Business Development Belinda S. Merritt. “The Mexican market is among the most dynamic in the world and Cortex offers features crucial to helping producers work with the latest camera systems and workflows.”
Net Brains specializes in high performance storage, networking and data management solutions. “We are always seeking solutions that can help our clients increase productivity, improve performance and control costs,” said Net Brains I, LP Managing partner David Andrews. “Cortex delivers on all those points. It is an agile product that will appeal to our clients through its portability and ability to manage such operations as color correction and transcoding with speed and reliability.”
Net Brains and MTI Film demonstrated Cortex solutions for the first time in Mexico this month at Telemundo’s Cine Video Expo Televisiรณn in Mexico City. MTI Film Director of Product Support Amy Hawthorne demonstrated the company’s flagship product, Cortex::Control Dailies, on Aberdeen’s Aberdailies hardware platform for remote or near-set dailies. (Cortex::Control Dailies is a complete workflow solution for dailies processing and deliverables production.) She also demonstrated Cortex::Convey, a streamlined transcoding solution.
“Visitors to our booth were impressed with the portability and low-cost of MTI Film‘s Cortex products,” said Andrews. “Mexican producers are used to managing their workflows with very large and expensive systems. Cortex offers them a very compelling alternative.”
Hawthorne also commented on the enthusiasm of attendees. “We had people from every sector of the television industry interested in our demos,” she said. “We are very excited to offer our products to the Mexican market and to do so with the support of a great company in Net Brains.”

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
