Kaleidescape has announced that former Christie Digital Systems CEO Jack Kline and former head of international theatrical distribution for Warner Bros. Pictures Thomas Molter have joined its board of directors.
“Kaleidescape is focused on building the best movie servers and players for home theater and beyond,” says Kline. “Providing lossless audio and preserving video fidelity, the Kaleidescape platform remains unchallenged as the highest-quality viewing experience — something I am both familiar with and keen on helping to advance.”
“As the only digital provider of movies with lossless audio and full reference video, Kaleidescape is poised for market expansion,” says Molter.
Thomas has more than 25 years of experience spanning creative, business, and operational leadership in the global entertainment industry. Formerly the executive vice president of international theatrical distribution for Warner Bros. Pictures, Thomas led distribution strategy and operations across 125-plus territories, steering the international releases of a diverse slate of feature films. In 2020, Thomas established Insomnify, Inc., a C-Suite entertainment consulting service advising studios, production companies, streamers, the exhibition community, and technology firms on strategic, business development, and creative initiatives globally.
Kline served more than 40 years at Christie Digital Systems, most recently as president and CEO of Christie’s operating companies worldwide. He pioneered digital cinema technology and was the architect of the innovative Virtual Print Fee that accelerated the adoption of digital projection in movie theaters and created a revolution in global entertainment. Kline is a member of various organizations, including the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE), the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers, and the International Cinema Technology Association (ICTA). He is also actively involved with numerous charities, including Lollipop Theater Network, where he serves on the Board of Directors.
Tayloe Stansbury, Kaleidescape’s chairman & CEO, says, “I am delighted to appoint Jack and Thomas to our board. Jack’s experience in digital playback and Thomas’ insight in working with movie studios and growing content sales, will help fuel our next chapter.”
