BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC: BSEG) is poised to capitalize on the explosive growth of the audio entertainment market with the expansion of its hit wartime drama AVENGER FIELD into a five-part series for Amazon’s Audible platform. Originally conceived as a one-off production, the overwhelming response to the pilot has led to the development of a full series, with potential for future seasons.
AVENGER FIELD chronicles the riveting true story of the female American pilots who took to the skies from Texas’ Avenger Field airbase during WWII, merging cinematic storytelling with the immersive power of audio.
With its in-house writing and development team, Big Screen Entertainment is leveraging its expertise to deliver a premium, radio-style play, featuring a talented roster of accomplished TV and film actors. The expansion into audio comes at a time when the medium is experiencing skyrocketing popularity, especially on platforms like Audible, which is supported by Amazon’s global reach.
“From the performances to the soundscape, we knew early on that we had something special,” said BSEG CEO Kimberley Kates. “Our vision is to not only entertain but to honor the incredible legacy of these pioneering women aviators. We’re just scratching the surface of where this project can go.”
