New York City-based CineMedia Promotions is the only independent publicity, radio and web promotions company specializing in film, television, and theatrical recordings. Since 1998 the firm has promoted over 400 recordings including the Academy Award winning soundtracks for Atonement, Finding Neverland, Frida, and The Motorcycle Diaries.

"It is a pleasure to be working with Silva Screen," said CineMedia Promotions founder/president Beth Krakower. "I have enjoyed the breadth and depth of the Silva Screen catalog both as a fan and now as their publicist."

"With the growth of New Media, we felt that Beth was perfectly placed to propel the Silva Screen film and television repertoire in the digital space alongside the traditional avenues of PR and promotion" said Yusuf Gandhi, President of Silva Screen Music America.
