"monetize" - v.i. - to apply the principles of the work of Monet to Cinema.

Goodnews,
Withoutabox
Dear Dara,
We're happy to let you know that Withoutabox has reached a definitive agreement to be acquired by the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), an Amazon.com subsidiary. This presents a great opportunity for all our independent filmmakers, festivals, and industry professionals. The new arrangement preserves the vision that Withoutabox has championed for eight years, teaming it with the Internet's number one destination for film lovers and film insiders.
As Filmmakers and self-distributors, you can look forward to more ways to help reach your audiences and monetize your work.
As Festivals, you can look forward to more powerful tools to scout, collect, select, and schedule films, plus access to a vast audience of movie lovers that only IMDb can deliver - more than 50 million visitors a month.
As film Sellers, Sales Agents, and Acquirers, you can look forward to unprecedented information, discovery, and connectivity at your fingertips, across the entire landscape of commercial and independent film.
The day-to-day operations of Withoutabox will remain much the same, including the entire management team, our experienced staff, and the dedicated customer service you love.
We look forward as always to seeing you at festivals and other industry events.
Happy New Year. Here's to new beginnings!
All the best,
Your Withoutabox Team
