115-KEN
BURNS TO RIDE IN THE 127TH TOURNAMENT OF
ROSES® PARADE AS GRAND
MARSHAL PASADENA,
Calif. -- Award-winning filmmaker Ken
Burns, who has directed and produced some
of the most admired documentaries about
the history of the United States, was
selected as the 2016 Tournament of Roses
Grand Marshal.
••••
Throughout his almost 40-year career
making documentary films, Burns, age 62,
has been honored with countless awards,
including 14 Emmy® Awards, two
Grammy® Awards and two Oscar®
nominations. Burns will ride in the 127th
Rose Parade® presented by Honda,
themed "Find Your Adventure" on January 1,
2016.
••••
Tournament of Roses President, Mike
Matthiessen, made the announcement at a
public event at Tournament House in
Pasadena, during which the 2016 Grand
Marshal was revealed through a celebratory
documentary video created by Burns
--http://youtu.be/eUoebRg5_p8
••••
"Ken Burns is a legendary figure and a
great fit for this year's Rose Parade
theme, 'Find Your Adventure,'" Matthiessen
said. "We're so honored to have someone
like Ken, who has devoted his life to
telling the story of America, lead the
Rose Parade -- America's New Year
Celebration® -- that provides hope and
joy to millions of people around the
world."
••••
The "Find Your Adventure" theme for the
2016 Rose Parade is a result of a unique
partnership between the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses and the U.S. National
Park Service, which will celebrate its
centennial in 2016. Among Burns's 2009
film, The National Parks: America's Best
Idea focused on the ideas and individuals
that helped propel the parks and the
National Park Service into existence. The
series was filmed over the course of more
than six years at some of the country's
most spectacular locales, from Acadia to
Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon
and the Everglades of Florida to the Gates
of the Arctic in Alaska. The National
Parks: America's Best Idea won Emmy®
Awards for "Outstanding Nonfiction Series"
and "Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction
Programming," as well as the 2010 CINE
Golden Eagle Award.
••••
"The Rose Parade is an annual tradition
woven into the fabric of America, so it's
such an honor to be chosen as the Grand
Marshal," said Burns. "I've never been to
the Parade in person, so this will be a
new adventure for me. I'm looking forward
to sharing the experience with my family
and all the fans of the Rose Parade who
will be watching on New Year's Day."
••••
Burns quickly became known for his style
of using archival footage and photographs
in documentary films, characterized by
slowly zooming in and panning to subjects
of interest -- deemed "The Ken Burns
Effect." Since the Academy Award nominated
Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Burns has gone on
to direct and produce some of the most
acclaimed historical documentaries ever
made, including The Civil War; Baseball;
Jazz; Statue of Liberty; Huey Long; Lewis
and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of
Discovery; Frank Lloyd Wright; Mark Twain;
Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall
of Jack Johnson; The War; The Roosevelts:
An Intimate History; which have all aired
on PBS. For these accomplishments and
more, the Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences honored Burns with a Lifetime
Achievement Award at the News &
Documentary Emmy® Awards in September
2008. Future projects that Burns has in
the works include films on Jackie
Robinson, the Vietnam War, the history of
country music, Ernest Hemingway and the
history of stand-up comedy.
••••
Burn's next film, Jackie Robinson, made
with his daughter Sarah Burns and her
husband David McMahon, will air on PBS on
April 11 and 12, 2016.
••••
Burns was born in Brooklyn, New York, in
1953. He graduated from Hampshire College
in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1975 and
went on to be one of the co-founders of
Florentine Films. •

YouTube is selling $9.99-a-month
subscriptions that will enable U.S.
customers to watch almost everything
without ads, to download videos for
viewing offline and to keep content
playing on a smartphone or tablet even
when using a different app.
••••
The service, called YouTube Red, offers
access to highly produced original shows
and movies that can't be found anywhere
else. Google Play streaming music will be
included too.
••••
Ad revenue proved not enough to meet the
enormous expenses of serving billions of
videos every day -- even when most videos
are supplied by users for free. YouTube
could generate nearly $950 million
annually in new revenue if just 5% of U.S.
users signed up for the subscription.
••••
Financial analysts who follow Alphabet
Inc., Google's parent company, say YouTube
could become a major profit engine. But
rivals, including Facebook, Snapchat and
Vimeo, are threatening its potential by
stealing away both video makers and
viewing time.
••••
"YouTube and YouTube Red have the ability
to showcase a wide variety of content and
plans are to amplify and fund efforts of
these incredibly talented people, said
YouTube CBOl. "We have a built-in talent
system, which doesn't exist on any other
services."
••••
YouTube Chief Business Officer Robert
Kyncl stated the "vast majority" of
YouTube's subscription revenue will go to
the YouTube Red content creators.
Certainly, some creators will lose out on
money from heavy viewers who might
encounter lots of ads or be willing to pay
more than $10 a month for a
subscription.
••••
For that reason, YouTube considers its
approach different from Netflix's reliance
on traditional actors, and analysts say it
could be the video service of choice for
younger millennials and teenagers.
••••
The question remains, "why do you need a
subscription if you don't mind dealing
with a few
ads?" •

SEC Passes Crowdfunding
Rules ••••
The Securities and
Exchange Commission approved crowdfunding
rules that will make it easier for
start-ups to sell shares directly to the
masses.
••••
The rules have been
years in the making after President Obama
signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act in 2012, which authorized the
commission to write the crowdfunding
rules.
••••
The
new rules and forms would be effective 180
days after they are published in the
Federal Register, except that the forms
enabling funding portals to register with
the Commission would be effective January
29, 2016.
••••
The new rules under
the JOBS Act are starting to peel back
investment regulations that in some cases
date back to the Great Depression.
••••
Those regulations
limited investments in most private
companies to so-called accredited
investors -- people who, today, make
$200,000 or more a year or are worth at
least $1 million -- and also blocked
companies from seeking investors publicly
without the use of a broker.
••••
Howard Marks,
executive chairman of Start- Engine
Crowdfunding, a Santa Monica firm that
connects companies with private investors,
said he expects thousands, even tens of
thousands, of start-ups to try to raise
money under the new rules.
••••
The rules approved
Oct. 30, allow people with annual incomes
or a net worth less than $100,000 to
invest a maximum of 5% of their yearly
income or net worth, or up to $2,000 if
that's greater. Those with higher incomes
can invest up to 10%. Investors generally
would not be able to sell shares for at
least a year.
••••
They also exempt
firms raising $1 million or less in a year
from having to provide financial
statements audited by an independent
auditing firm, which can be an expensive
proposition. The idea is to open equity
crowdfunding to true start-ups, ones that
might not have the cash to pay an
auditor.
••••
Larger companies
trying to raise as much as $50 million
have already been able to take investments
from non-accredited investors since this
summer. But to do so, companies have to
file regular reports and audited financial
statements with the SEC, much like big,
publicly traded companies.
••••
Because of those
requirements, there's been limited
interest so far, and just a few dozen
firms have attempted such offerings.
••••
All the
crowdfunding transactions would have to be
made through a portal registered with the
commission. Crowdfunding portals would
also have to comply with a number of rules
to monitor investors and businesses to
help reduce risk and fraud. •
