THE MISSION OF MONOGRAM 

 

Greetings Fans From The Home Of Poverty Row,

 

     Let me start by introducing myself, my name is C. S. Lamb, I am a film producer, and a lover of old B-movies.  Fact is, I love B-movies so much that I have dedicated my life, to their preservation, and to the revival of the studios that made them.  Over the last 15 years, I have been fortunate enough to acquire the rights to most all of Hollywood’s great B-movie and “Poverty Row” studio banners.  These banners include:  Monogram, PRC, AIP, Mascot, Eagle-Lion, Astor, and many more.  I take great pride and pleasure in reviving this lost part of cinema history, and I have the greatest respect and admiration for all the fans, artists, and historians, who are helping to preserve the legacy, and the art of B-cinema.   

 

 

At present our company has four missions:

 

1.  To produce and distribute new B-films, made both by our production unit, and by independent filmmakers.

 

2.  To release official versions of many great B-movie classics, on their original banners.

 

3.  To preserve the history of B-cinema.

 

4.  To protect the rights of fans, historians, producers, and artists, by assembling a great store house of cinematic intellectual properties. 

 

These intellectual properties include a multitude of classic B-movie banners, trade names, characters, and countless other properties.  Of course, we plan to make good use of them.  However, our purpose is not to preclude the fair use of these properties, but rather to preserve it, in an industry dominated by huge entertainment conglomerates, who seek to monopolize the industry, restrict fair use, and abolish the public domain.

 

     All of us at Monogram wish to thank you, for your interest in our company, and for sharing our passion.

 

Most Sincerely,

C. S. Lamb

President,

Monogram Pictures Company Int.
