MTI Home Video is a leading North American supplier of quality independent films to the home entertainment retail industry. Founded in 1984 by music industry veteran Larry Brahms, president and CEO of MTI Home Video, MTI along with its studio partners (Bedford Entertainment, Artist View Entertainment, Delta Entertainment and Fangoria Present) has emerged as a key independent player offering the home entertainment industry one of the most diverse and comprehensive catalogs of genres, outstanding packaging and star power.
Much of the success of MTI and its studio partners is fueled by innovated marketing and sales incentives to help the label’s releases make and instant market impact. The consortium prides itself in providing some of today’s most novel packaging and has been on forefront to experiment and release new techniques for box art such as the three dimensional holographic imagery used on the 1995 release of Mirror Mirror 2, dimensional foil onset on 1999’s Nautilus and Spartan’s chromium graphics. And, at a time when sales programs have become a virtual nightmare for retailers, MTI’s standardized across the board pricing along with the advent of independent revenue share options, has taken the guesswork out of purchasing decisions and depth of copy.
From its headquarters in Miami, MTI Home Video maintains a state-of-the-art recording studio, video editing suite the houses production, publicity, marketing and shipping offices for all divisions. Supporting MTI;s aggressive growth is Brahms’s wife and vice president Claudia Brahms, Vice President of Sales and Acquisitions Jay Grossman, Nora Gonzalez in charge of account receivables, along with national account managers Alice de Buhr, Beth Rome, Kathy Johnson and Mark Dresner. With sales offices in Kansas City, Seattle, Tucson, New York and Los Angeles and company headquarters in Miami, the veteran sales team aptly covers the country’s major distribution and retail centers.
At the time of uncertainty about the future of industry, MTI is confident it will adapt with the changes and maintain it's place as an innovator and independent firm releasing from the home entertainment industry.
