The Ever-Broadening Influence of EBI
If you haven't heard of EBI yet, chances are you soon
will. The eight-year-old entertainment production company,
led by President Jeff Lyle '85 and Vice President Mike
Davis '90, is blossoming in its media involvement, both
locally and internationally. In a recent e-mail, EBI shared its
latest developments. Here are some excerpts:
I am excited to tell you that EBI is moving in five new, great areas. God
has blessed us, and we are glad to be making a difference.
1. EBI and TV Cultura Network of Brazil have signed a letter ofintent and
are finalizing the formal agreement to produce "The Island of Ra-Tim-Bum,"
which is the next installment ofepisodes in the Emmy-award winning
children's educational TV show "Ra-Tim-Bum." TV Cultura is Brazil's PBS and
has won numerous awards with this program, including a gold medal at the
New York Film Festival and Prix Television Jeunesse of France. We are very
excited because "The Island ofRa-Tim-Bum" will put FBI on the map of true
entertainment production companies in the U.S., Brazil, and other parts of
the world.
Production in Brazil is slated to begin in January. We will produce
90 episodes in English and in Portuguese, and the program will be shot
completely in High-Definition TV(HDTV). EBI will be one of the first Midwest
production companies to offer HMV editing and production services. This will
be one ofthe first children's programs in the world shot on HDTV and the
very first NMseries for Brazil.
2. EBI has secured the funding and is in final negotiations to produce five
new films in association with Focus on the Family.
3. FBI has picked up production of the program "About the House with
Bob Yapp,"seen on 20stations via PBS. "About the House"is the second
most-watched home improvementshow in the country. After supplying
equipment and other marketing services, EBI was offered the opportunity to
take over the entire production of the show. Check your local listings for
"About the House with Bob Yapp."
4. After nine months of writing, research, and development, EBI has
begun production of a 30-minute 30 animation called "Tales from the Ark."
A two-minute trailer has been completed, and we are in talks about the
distribution of the project.
5. EBI has also entered into an agreement with its local Fox affiliate to
create, produce, direct, and maintain their news department. KUB-TV Fox 18
will oversee the marketing and sales aspects, while EBI Video will handle the
day-to-day operations and management of this new, local nine o'clock
newscast. EBI is especially excited about this, because FBI will have a direct
say in how to impact the local community. We believe this is a huge
opportunity, responsibility, and a great challenge as we seek to impact the
world with quality, value-oriented programming from a Christ-centered
perspective.
