Cross Bridge, LLC, a newly-formed organization producing, acquiring and distributing inspirational programming through the Internet at www. CrossBridge. com has announced a new affiliation with EthnoGraphic Media (EGM, Oklahoma City, OK). Through its affiliation with Cross Bridge, EGM will be providing some of its content for broadcast on Cross Bridge's website and BeliefnetTV, which offer award-winning television programs, exciting original programming and compelling feature films and interviews with prominent thought leaders. Both Cross Bridge and BeliefnetTV are owned by BN Media, an entity that also includes the investors behind Affinity4 (www. affinity4.com), an affinity-based marketing company that helps to support the goals of nonprofits by assisting in their fundraising.
EGM President Bill Oechsler states, "This is exactly where we want to be to reach the 18-25 year old viewer. Cross Bridge is a preferred content provider to BeliefnetTV which has an arrangement with Hulu." EthnoGraphic Media's films will be featured on these popular websites where its films will be strategically positioned to reach the youth community with thought-provoking topics and to bring awareness to critical issues.
EGM explores topics ranging from the AIDS pandemic to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and transcendent themes like the power of forgiveness. EGM films share moving stories, but the organization is not about producing "feel-good" programming. Instead, each film is designed to start a global conversation incorporating many perspectives of the issues that are shaping our time. EthnoGraphic Media will continue to create original programming that includes compelling feature films, documentaries, and interviews with leaders reaching across cultural, racial and denominational boundaries.
"Because Cross Bridge and BeliefnetTV include faith-inspired content in their offerings, their programming fills a void left by the mainstream media. We are excited to be a part of that programming. Our mission to reach youth fits well with Hulu, for example, and we look forward to initiating new discussions among the audiences we will reach with Cross Bridge as one of our content partners," continues Oechsler. In this initial release with Cross Bridge, EGM's films include Beyond the Gates of Splendor and End of the Spear, as well as Miss HIV. To view these films go to www. Hulu. com.
For Cross Bridge, the new affiliation with EthnoGraphic Media adds variety and challenging, thought-provoking substance to its current slate of programming. "By building our content with the offerings of well-respected organizations such as EthnoGraphic Media, we are better able to fulfill our brand promise to deliver "Media That Inspires" to the broadest audience possible," says Cross Bridge co-founder and President/Chief Executive Officer Steve Halliday, CPA, J.
