Steve Bellamy Joins Kodak
Kodak has appointed Steve Bellamy as its new president of Motion Picture and Entertainment.
Based in Los Angeles, Bellamy will be responsible for growing the company's relationships with creative luminaries and business leaders in the entertainment industry, working on creative advocacy programmes, creating partnerships and new business models, and developing Kodak-branded solutions for the entertainment industry.
A serial entrepreneur and award-winning media creator, Bellamy founded The Tennis Channel, The Ski Channel, The Surf Channel and The Skate Channel television networks. As a writer/director, his movies have won more than 40 global film festivals, from Amsterdam to Canada to Mexico and the United States. He has won six best director awards including the Las Vegas International Film Festival, and has over 10,000 hours of content creation. As a songwriter and recording artist, Bellamy has gone on tour, and had singles on commercial radio. His work is regularly found on film and television.
Bellamy, who has spent the last six years as CEO of Action Sport Networks, will remain chairman of that business. At Kodak, he will work alongside Andrew Evenski, Kodak President and General Manager of Entertainment and Commercial Film, to create further relationships with Hollywood's film and television studios. Both will report to Steven Overman, President of the Consumer and Film Division.
"Kodak has always been driven by bringing innovation to a wide range of industries, and Steve Bellamy will help us deliver leading creative solutions to the entertainment industry. Steve brings a combination of creativity, industry experience and entrepreneurial success to our business," said Mr Overman.
"Film is a vital part of Kodak's culture and we are pleased to welcome Steve on board to help us grow this business," Evenski added. "Steve's hands-on experience in the entertainment industry will help us to create new opportunities for motion picture film."
Jeff Clarke, Kodak Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is a huge win for Kodak. His relationships, access to talent and the love of film make Steve the perfect person to spearhead the next chapter of this storied division of Kodak. The initial group of filmmakers we have spoken to are ecstatic that he is onboard!"
Filmmaker JJ Abrams commented: "I'm thrilled and relieved that Kodak remains committed to keeping film alive and well. It only feels right that film remain an available option in the world of filmmaking, and Steve Bellamy is an ideal talent to help realize this priority."
"The Kodak brand is iconic in the film business," added Bellamy. "My main goal is to make sure that film remains a viable and reasonable option for those artists who want to continue to shoot on the medium."
