ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY (PRWEB) October 1, 2004 -- The product, called MPK", is destined to be the new standard for promoting musicians, on-air personalities, performers, actors and other performing arts entities. MPK is a product and registered trademark of Face to Face Media, Inc. and is essentially a collection of media elements (images, audio, video and text) programmed together with eye-catching graphics and transferred to DVD media. The result is a high-tech multimedia experience that showcases the subjects unique talent, story and performance. The goal of the product is to provide performing arts and entertainment professionals with a reasonably-priced yet professional promotional tool that helps propel their career forward. The MPK product combines all of the traditional promotional methods such as press kits", web sites, music videos and demo" CDs into a single, high-resolution and highly-portable solution.

Face to Face Media, Inc. President, Michael Paternostro, said: The music business is dramatically different than it was even five years ago. With ever-shrinking budgets, A&R personnel, managers, agents and entertainment attorneys are all expected to do more with less. Those chartered with locating fresh talent are burdened with workloads that exceed the 60-70 hour weeks they typically work. Very few of them have time to survey local clubs and attend artist showcases. An exciting alternative is the MPK, which affords them the opportunity to evaluate an artist on a number of levels without ever leaving the comfort of their office or living room." Michael goes on to say that this also benefits the artist, in that they now have an opportunity to perform" for these industry professionals, virtually.

In order to launch the MPK product effectively, Face to Face Media, Inc. teamed up with local artists Motherboard and Eren Cannata. The artists were selected for their talent and regional appeal. Michael states that both artists are unique and have great songwriting ability. Their potential, coupled with an MPK may just be the perfect storm" required to get industry professionals to take notice. A major label record deal is the ultimate goal. That would be the best advertisement we could hope for." Complete versions of each artists MPK appear on the promo DVD as well as at the getmpk.com website. The web site also features a digital photography portfolio and answers the four basic questions of what is it", why do I need it", how do I get it" and how much is it".

The MPK product can be extremely dynamic and can vary greatly in scope of content and visual style. To ease confusion and simplify the process, MPKs are offered in the three packages, namely, Bare Bones", Essentials", and Essentials Plus". Clients can customize these configurations and add a variety of Side Orders" to enhance their product. While an Essentials Plus MPK with all of the available Side Orders can reach $7500, typical package prices range from $1000 to $1800. Clients have the option of starting with a Bare Bones package today, and later build onto it as funding becomes available. Alternatively, artists may be able to share the funding burden with their manager or agent in order to afford a more effective presentation. Side Orders include photo shoots, video production, audio recording services and web site services. Michael states: The cost of an MPK is in line with what a photography studio might charge an on-air personality for a head-shot portfolio, and the MPK provides far greater value." He goes on to say that a side benefit of getmpk.com is that all of the services required to assemble an MPK are offered all under one roof" simplifying the process for his clients and reducing costs for his company.
