Hollywood East Media Launches Platform Connecting the East Coast Film Community

RED BANK, N.J. - EntSun -- MONMOUTH COUNTY, N.J.— Hollywood East Media, a new community-driven media platform serving the East Coast independent film and arts scene, has officially launched. The platform's mission is to connect and support independent and professional film companies, organizations, communities, and individuals as they share passion projects, special events, classes, and more.

At the heart of the project is founder Pearl Lee, a Bronx-born entrepreneur, producer, and pioneering force in the performing arts media world. With over 30 years of industry experience, Lee was a pioneer in bringing ballet, opera, classical music, and fine arts programming from around the world to home audiences. As co-owner of Kultur International Films—the world's leading performing arts video publisher—she oversaw the exclusive distribution of an extensive catalog featuring more than 1,000 titles.
