Ford, Wesley join Prescreen board

Prescreen, a startup movie marketing and distribution platform, has tapped IM Global topper Stuart Ford and Blockbuster exec Tim Wesley as members of its newly formed board of advisors. Ford founded IM Global in April 2007, originally in partnership with Internationalmedia AG, and three years later sold a majority stake in the company to Reliance Entertainment. Wesley co-founded Milestone Entertainment and has worked at Paramount, Sony, Maverick Films, Ripe Digital Entertainment Inc. and Neustar Media. Prescreen also said its VOD rental showcase has been expanded to feature a total of 15 Sundance selections from previous years on its site. Prescreen says its the only website which includes all the available trailers for this year's festival selections. Partners for the Prescreen Sundance Festival include Kino Lorber; Monterey Media; Strand Releasing; First Run Features; Indie Blitz and Film Movement. Contact Dave McNary at dave.mcnary@variety.com
