Movicorp

What Movicorp does

Movicorp Media, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based media rights management and content creation boutique that develops, produces, markets, and monetizes motion pictures, limited series, web series, and other video content for theatrical, streaming, television, and home video markets worldwide. The company is led by founder and CEO Robert Schnitzer, an independent filmmaker whose prior credits include the classic drama 'Rebel' (1969) starring Sylvester Stallone and the award-winning thriller 'The Premonition.' Movicorp currently manages a catalog of completed feature films and documentaries — including a 50th Anniversary 4K restoration of 'Rebel,' 'Kandyland,' 'Lone Star Blues,' and 'Sacred Living with Wayne Dyer' — alongside a development slate of five-plus projects based on optioned novel IP.

The company's business model is project-based content licensing and sales representation. Revenue is generated through one-time licensing deals with studios, streaming platforms, TV networks, and theatrical distributors, supplemented by transaction-fee-based worldwide sales representation of ElationTV's holistic body-mind content library (a streaming platform operated by Elation Media, another Schnitzer-founded entity). Movicorp engages elite freelance creative talent on a project basis — notable engagements include Academy Award-winning producer Gerald Molen and MacGyver creator Lee Zoffin — rather than maintaining a large permanent staff; the company currently lists 5 employees.

Movicorp's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting enterprise content buyers (studios, streaming platforms, TV networks, theatrical distributors) through direct outreach, industry events, and referrals from the leadership team's Hollywood credentials. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no recurring subscription revenue, and no external institutional funding. The company operates worldwide in theory but with stated geographic restrictions in some operating geographies to North America, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
