Datametrex Starts Selling COVID-19 Test Kits to the Canadian Film Industry With First Contract
26 Août 2020 - 6:30PM
Datametrex AI Limited (the "Company" or "Datametrex")
(TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) expands its AI
technologies and COVID-19 screening solutions by expanding into the
Film and Television Industry in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Company also signed the first contract with
a Vancouver based production company, Bob Industries LLC, to
provide COVID-19 test kits and completed its first COVID-19 testing
for the production company. With these potential partnerships and
the launch of the new COVID-19 pre-screening and screening tools,
Datametrex enters the film and television industry.
Vancouver is the third largest production centre
in North America, worth CDN $3.2 Billion during 2018/19, according
to Creative BC. British Columbia is home to several world-class
Film and TV studios, including Bridge
Studios, Mammoth Studios, Vancouver Film Studios, North
Shore Studios, Ironwood Studios, Canadian Motion Picture
Park, and The Crossing Studios.
These facilities produce, on average,
approximately 65+ movies and 55+ TV series annually, as well as
hundreds of other filming days for commercials, TV pilots and other
features. This industry generates over 42,000 direct and indirect
jobs in Film and TV production, with more than 80 percent located
in Metro Vancouver. British Columbia is world-renowned as a
versatile and dependable hub for motion picture production.
Total film and TV production in Canada represent
$8.92 Billion in production volume and full-time equivalent jobs
represent 179,000 workers. When production was shut down in March
2020, Vancouver and area had 46 productions filming and that does
not include the TV commercial market. Each of the productions would
have a minimum of 100-person film crew.
As the current pandemic continues to impact our
world, and with health risks in the film industry, Datametrex is
contributing to the health and safety of film organizations. An
article that CNBC posted on August 22, 2020, mentions that Solstice
Studios is moving a feature film production to Canada, even though
it was supposed to film in the U.S., because of available
coronavirus testing, making Canada an attractive location for
filming.1
This shows that Canada can be an advocate for
the Film industry, as we have testing and labs already set up
throughout. Additionally, Canada has far fewer instances of
coronavirus. The country reported an average of less than 400 new
coronavirus cases per day over the past week, compared with more
than 46,400 in the U.S., according to data compiled by Johns
Hopkins University.
"With the changing nature of the pandemic and
worldwide regulations, it is essential that the solutions we
develop at Datametrex are flexible and accurate," said Marshall
Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. "With our pre-screening and screening
tools, this industry can resume and provide us with the much needed
entertainment that this newly indoor, online-based culture
requires.”
These tools were developed as a direct response
to customer needs and the ever-changing physical distancing
recommendations, safety guidelines, and workplace flexibility
initiatives being observed across North America and around the
globe. Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no
upfront costs associated with importing and selling these test
kits.
