Jaman Expands into European Market

SAN MATEO, January 14: Jaman.com has begun its international rollout with the introduction of a localized U.K. site, and has tapped former MySpace exec David Fischer to oversee the expansion.

Based in London, Fischer will be responsible for Jaman’s international business operations. Fischer previously served as executive VP and managing director of MySpace and Fox Interactive Media.

The British portal debuts with more than 1,000 titles available, including those from companies such as BFI (British Film Institute), Path� Films, ContentFilms and Axiom Films. Jaman has also added a number of new titles to its global collection, including feature-length films and series from Cinelan, Reality Entertainment and Mondo Mini. The newly acquired content adds to Jaman’s existing library of world cinema titles, which includes international dramas, comedies, documentaries and shorts, Japanese anime titles and Bollywood hits.

"In a little over a year, our unique library of films has helped us grow into audiences across the globe," said Gaurav Dhillon, the CEO and founder of Jaman. "With our new U.K. site and acquired content, we are not only able to continue to deliver high-quality films, but are able to cater that content to specific audiences around the world."
