Cinecom creates independent ombudsman office for digital cinema productions

(pr) With immediate effect, Cinecom has created the position of an independent ombudsman for cinema productions. The aim is to provide film producers as well as customers and agencies with a contact person who is very familiar with the world of film productions and can respond very quickly and competently to questions and problems relating to digital cinema film productions. In the person of Andrew Katumba, this position has been filled by an extremely competent specialist. At the age of 23, Katumba founded the multimedia production company Crambambouli and, as a producer, has realized TV specials, 3D animations and interactive commissioned films. He has continuously trained in the field of digital production and projection techniques at home and abroad. In 1999, he and his team won the "Grand Cristalli di Locarno" for the best Swiss commissioned film. He subsequently worked for MetaDesign and Bluewin, where he was heavily involved in the development of iTV (interactive television via ADSL lines). In 2004, Andrew Katumba founded his own production company Bossa Films AG with Luzius Rüedi with the aim of bringing the first fully digital film to the cinema. As an ombudsman, Katumba will be present at the spot screenings offered by Cinecom and can thus address questions directly on site. The insights gained will be incorporated into a forum at a later date. This forum will be made up of selected experts and will work closely with the Swissfilm Association to develop and publish benchmarks for digital cinema films.
