Abramorama has set a May 24 debut at Film Forum and the Elinor Bunin Theater at Lincoln Center, with Los Angeles and other markets to follow. In addition, the film will play at the Miami International Film Festival and Riverrun International Film Festival.
Karol Martesko-Fenster, Richard Abramowitz and Robert Marcus brokered the deal on behalf of Abramorama with the filmmakers, Steven Schechter on behalf of Got The Shot Films, and Cinetic Media’s John Sloss and Linzee Trough.

New Yorkers who have taken the time to comment on the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger are overwhelmingly against it — but very few have taken the time to comment. Those for and against may want to make their voices heard now, because as the Washington Post reported last week, the little-known New York State Public Service Commission may have the power to nix the sections of the merger involving New York. That could endanger the entire $45 billion agreement. Also read: Time Warner Cable CEO Robert Marcus Eligible for $80 Million Golden Parachute But the New York group's power pales compared.

Time Warner Cable CEO Robert Marcus, who served in the role for just 44 days before Comcast announced plans to take over his company, is eligible for an $80 million golden parachute in the acquisition, according to documents Comcast filed Thursday. A Securities and Exchange Commission statement says Marcus could receive $56.5 million in equity, $20.5 million in cash, and $400,000 in benefits, among other payments. The payout is dependent on Comcast winning federal approval for the takeover, and TWC shareholders will have a chance to weigh in on the terms.

The image of the annoying cable guy is seared into our collective conscience – so it stands to reason that most people who look upon Time Warner Cable’s decision to drop CBS last week is yet another example of how maddening the subscriber-based system can be. Not helping matters is how convoluted the dispute is – what’s a retransmission fee anyway? – and why 3 million customers should have to live without Dexter or Under the Dome because TWC is supposedly undervaluing CBS programming.

The chief of the No. 2 cable company lost about $1M in non-equity incentives, but otherwise held steady vs 2010, according to Time Warner Cable’s proxy statement. The package: $1.3M salary, $3.2M stock awards, $4.2M option awards, $7.2M non-equity incentives, $111,910 change in pension value, and $439,456 in other compensation. The “other” category includes $339,779 for personal use of of the company aircraft. Time Warner Cable shares lost 2.8% of their value in 2011. Britt made nearly twice as much as COO Robert Marcus. But his $8.4M compensation was up 38.7% to reflect his additional title last year as company president and “the importance of retaining him in light of the Board of Directors’ long-term succession planning strategy.” Britt’s compensation was 3.8 times higher than the average for Time Warner Cable’s other top executives. Corporate governance watchdogs usually consider that to be lopsided, and a red flag for investors.

It’s stange that a former corporate cousin of HBO — Time Warner Cable — remains the biggest pay TV company that still doesn’t offer subscribers the opportunity to access the HBO Go digital streaming service. But that will change “soon,” Time Warner Cable COO Robert Marcus tells Bloomberg. Marcus declined to say what’s holding things up — and we’ve been hearing for months that a deal was just around the corner. Still, if Marcus’ prediction is correct, then it means the HBO customers among TWC’s 12.1M subscribers will be able to watch shows such as Boardwalk Empire, Hung, Bored To Death, and Real Time With Bill Maher on demand from Web-connected devices including tablets and mobile phones. It’s important to HBO because TWC serves two of its biggest markets, Manhattan and Los Angeles. TWC and Cablevision are the only major cable, satellite, and telco video providers that...

New York -- Time Warner Cable on Thursday reported a fourth- quarter profit that exceeded expectations and initiated a much-anticipated quarterly dividend to reward shareholders.
But it also recorded more basic cable subscriber losses.
The second-largest cable operator in the U.S. said it will start paying a dividend of 40 cents per share in March.
Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce called that a "very meaningful" dividend yield of 3.7%, compared with Comcast's 2.4% and Cablevision's 1.6% yield.
"Over the past year, Time Warner Cable has emerged as investors' best hope for a pure-play cable operator with that long-awaited combination of high free cash flow and, better yet, a high payout ratio," commented Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett. "Today's earnings and announcements did not disappoint."
TWC's quarterly profit of $322 million compared with a loss of $8.16 billion in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 3% to $4.5 billion.

New York -- Big cable operators don't expect improving advertising trends this year after a sluggish 2008 for them.
Speaking on Wednesday at the Deutsche Bank Media and Telecommunications Conference in Florida, Comcast Corp. Cfo Michael Angelakis said: "We are not forecasting a rebound at all" for this year.
Also asked about cable operator ad trends earlier in the day, Time Warner Cable Cfo Robert Marcus said: "There doesn't look to be any reprieve in sight."
Marcus also said he feels good about subscriber trends, even though they remain well below the year-ago period for the current first quarter.
He added that programming expenses will grow at a faster rate this year, partly because of higher costs of retransmission consent fees paid to broadcasters.
Meanwhile, Angelakis also gave some color on Comcast's expectations for 2009, which investors had looked for in vain in the firm's recent earnings report.
