Genco Media LLC, an entertainment-based company backed by investment firm Quadrant Management Inc., together with Genius Products, Inc. (OTCBB:GNPI), a leading independent home-entertainment distribution company, announced they have entered into an agreement under which Genius Products, LLC will have exclusive distribution rights for certain entertainment related content acquired by Genco Media, including properties in films, music, and video games.

"Genco Media is focused on adding to its library of entertainment properties through the acquisition and funding of valuable films, music and video games. Our goal is to provide content creators the means to fund the development of a range of exciting entertainment related products," said Alan Quasha, President of Quadrant Management and Chairman of Genco Media. "By partnering with Genius Products, which has significant expertise in the distribution of entertainment products, we will be able to more effectively bring products to market and expand the reach of artists' work." Over the past few years, we have built one of the preeminent distribution platforms and assembled one of the leading teams in the home entertainment industry," said Stephen K. Bannon, Chairman of Genius Products, Inc. "Our new relationship with Genco Media enables us to capitalize on our strengths and leverage our management expertise by expanding our distribution rights of higher margin content - without investing our own capital.
