Duo to Provide Interactive Content for Film Fans in New York and Beyond
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 25 /PRNewswire/

Spout (http://www.spout.com) and The Reeler (http://www.thereeler.com/tribeca) today announced they will collaborate to provide film fans across the nation access to in-depth, insider reviews and interviews from the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. The two
sites, both catering to passionate film fans, are combining efforts to
create and exchange interactive, multimedia content from the Festival.

Spout, a genius hybrid of community and film, allows fans to break free
from the traditional Hollywood clutter to focus on great films and
filmmakers. The Reeler is New York City's unofficial resource for relevant
news, happenings and gossip emerging from the world of New York City
cinema. Since launching in 2005 The Reeler has quickly become a trusted
source for an independent perspective on all aspects of film in the city,
from the art house to red carpet.

"The Tribeca Film Festival is about celebrating the power of great film
in Lower Manhattan," says Rick DeVos, CEO of Spout. "Spout is dedicated to
creating and continuing conversation around great film, whether online or
at festivals. With The Reeler's intent focus on New York City cinema
culture, this partnership is an ideal way to bring the experience of
Tribeca to an even wider audience."

Spout and The Reeler will host video interviews with filmmakers, actors
and other talent affiliated with the Tribeca Film Festival selections on
Spout at http://www.spout.com/tribeca.

Additionally, The Reeler will present a review roundup featuring capsule commentaries about Tribeca selections viewed by Reeler critics Michelle Orange, Vadim Rizov and Eric Kohn. Both sites will be actively blogging and providing insight on festival activities.

"The Reeler is deeply committed to bringing readers a diverse array of
films and filmmakers from New York," states S.T. VanAirsdale, Editor of The
Reeler. "Collaborating with Spout will bring new content to both sites'
fans, extending the dialogue even further."

Spout and The Reeler will not be the only ones joining the conversation. Spout's site enables members to spout off about film, giving users the tools to richly express their thoughts and opinions with other fans. As such, movie lovers nationwide can converge here to experience the Tribeca Film Festival virtually and discuss films from the festival and beyond.
