SURREY, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / INEO Tech Corp. (TSX-V:INEO)(OTCQB:INEOF) (the "Company" or "INEO") announces that its patented INEO Welcoming DUO system is now in full production, with the first production unit being installed this week at a UK retail location.

The INEO Welcoming DUO is the Company’s entrance pedestal featuring a digital display screen on both sides. The system combines Electronic Article Surveillance ("EAS") detection capability, dual-sided digital media display and platform connectivity in a format designed to increase media capacity while maintaining a footprint similar to traditional loss prevention entrance systems.

Management believes the DUO is an important extension of INEO’s product offering. By providing retailers with digital display inventory on both sides of the pedestal from substantially the same entrance footprint, the DUO is designed to create additional media capacity and increase the utility of the store entrance. Management also believes this may support broader deployment opportunities for INEO’s subscription-based platform and connectivity services as retailers look to derive more value from entrance infrastructure.

The system is also designed to meet or exceed the detection range of most standard EAS systems. Management believes this reflects INEO’s engineering capability in integrating theft protection, digital display and industrial design in a system configuration which many in the industry had viewed as difficult to achieve.

"The Welcoming DUO shows that retailers do not have to choose between detection performance, aesthetics and media capacity," said Kyle Hall, CEO of INEO. "We believe they can have all three in a system designed for a real retail environment."

Like INEO’s other connected systems, the Welcoming DUO is supported by the Company’s subscription-based INEO Connectivity Package. The Connectivity Package includes Dashboard access, continuous system health monitoring, remote maintenance and support tools, software and security updates, reporting, user administration and media management and integration functionality intended to support the ongoing operation of the installed system while providing retail media revenue to the retailer.

The Company expects to provide further updates as additional product, customer and partner milestones are reached.

The Cannes Film Market closed registration for 2026 with 16,000 participants from more than 140 countries. Highest attendance in the market’s history.

Among the 40,000 industry professionals on the Croisette, the growth is most striking in Japan, which has emerged as a serious force in international film financing and acquisition. Variety’s full breakdown shows the U.S., France, and the UK holding their positions at the top, but Japan’s surge signals a geographical shift in where film investment capital is concentrating.

Record numbers suggest an industry in rude health. But on the same ground where those 16,000 participants are making deals, the Empty Red Carpet protest against generative AI has celebrities like Anya Taylor-Joy and Pedro Pascal conspicuously absent from the festival’s most iconic photo ops, replaced by visual voids that land harder than any picket line.

The festival is booming and fractured at the same time. That’s the film industry in 2026.

Three threads run through this year’s market: what the record numbers actually mean, what kinds of projects are finding commercial pathways, and how AI tensions on the Palais steps are manifesting in advertising’s biggest live test, the World Cup.

The Market Metrics Tell Two Stories

The 16,000 figure is real. Deadline’s attendance coverage notes this comes against what organizers are openly calling a “complex geopolitical backdrop,” which is festival-speak for trade tensions, content regulation disputes, and shifting alliances that make international co-productions harder than they were five years ago.

Japan’s growth matters because Japanese buyers and financiers are increasingly backing projects with international appeal rather than staying within domestic genre lanes. That changes the math for producers hunting gap financing or pre-sales.

While deal-makers fill the Palais, the Empty Red Carpet protest documented by Creative Bloq uses the festival’s most visible real estate to argue that generative AI represents an existential threat to creative labor. Photographers shoot empty staircases instead of A-listers. It works precisely because Cannes runs on images.

What’s Selling: Indies Find Traction

Past the protests and the participation metrics, the practical question: what’s actually finding buyers?

The Mise En Scene Company picked up world sales rights to “Dope Queens”, a feature from writer-director Grafton Doyle produced by Julio Lopez Velasquez. Classic Cannes sales trajectory: a completed or near-completed film secures representation, gets market screenings, and starts building a distribution footprint territory by territory. MSC actively acquiring signals confidence that buyer demand exists for mid-budget English-language projects with genre appeal.

On the prestige side, Sara Ishaq’s “The Station” is premiering in Critics’ Week, the sidebar that has launched directors who go on to competition slots in later years. Ishaq, whose documentary short “Karama Has No Walls” earned an Academy Award nomination, describes the film as revealing “the colors, the frankincense, the laughter and the singing” behind closed doors in a culture outsiders rarely see with nuance.

Different strategies, same thread: both are using Cannes as a launchpad into a fragmented distribution landscape. Independent producers and sales agents are betting that certain stories will find audiences through the festival-to-platform-to-theatrical hybrid model that has replaced the old indie playbook.

The World Cup Ad Cycle Is AI’s Biggest Live Test

If Cannes is where AI meets the film industry on the red carpet, the World Cup is where it meets advertising in the living room. The 2026 tournament has become a live laboratory for how audiences respond to AI-generated creative at massive scale.

Creative Bloq’s analysis of the ad cycle shows the results should worry agencies.

Campaigns feature everyone from Lionel Messi to Timothée Chalamet to a digitally resurrected David Beckham. The AI Beckham spot is the most instructive case: brands are using generative tools to create versions of celebrities for markets where those celebrities don’t speak the language or wouldn’t naturally appear. Execution quality varies wildly.

This matters beyond the tournament. Advertising is the industry where generative AI is being deployed fastest and with the highest financial stakes. Agencies are under pressure to cut production costs while maintaining creative output. But if audiences can spot AI-generated work and respond negatively, the cost savings are offset by reduced campaign effectiveness. The World Cup, with its global reach and intense real-time scrutiny, is producing data points that will shape how brands deploy AI creative for years.

The connection back to Cannes is direct. The Empty Red Carpet protest and the World Cup ad cycle are two expressions of the same underlying question: where does the line fall between AI as a production tool and AI as a replacement for human creative judgment?

What This Means

Cannes 2026 is an industry growing and splintering simultaneously. Japan’s emergence changes the geography of film finance in ways that will create openings for producers who know how to structure international co-productions. The deals on the Croisette will populate streaming platforms and arthouse theaters over the next 18 months.

The AI protest isn’t fringe. High-profile talent is saying the industry’s rush to adopt generative tools is happening without sufficient thought about long-term consequences for creative workers. The World Cup ad cycle is producing evidence that audiences can tell the difference between human-crafted and AI-generated creative.

For media professionals: watch where the money goes next. If Japan’s Cannes presence translates into a wave of co-productions with Japanese financing, that creates opportunities for producers, sales agents, and distribution executives who can navigate those relationships. If World Cup ad data shows AI creative underperforms, agencies will adjust their tooling strategies accordingly.

If you’re looking to move into film production, international sales, or advertising strategy, browse open roles on Mediabistro to see where demand is concentrating. If you’re hiring for positions that require navigating the tension between commercial imperatives and creative integrity, post a job on Mediabistro to reach candidates who understand the landscape.

Cannes doesn’t resolve these tensions. It just makes them visible at higher resolution.

• Q1’26 Revenue Rises 5.2% YoY to $12.8M

• Reiterates Expectations for Continued Revenue Growth, Significant Free Cash Flow Generation, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Expansion in 2026

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Bill O’Dowd, CEO of Dolphin, commented:

"While the first quarter is historically our lightest due to normal business seasonality, we are pleased to report continued top-line growth, with total revenue increasing 5.2% year over year to $12.8 million. Furthermore, we reduced our Adjusted EBITDA loss by 25% year-over-year. We emphasize Adjusted EBITDA because, given our significant non-cash amortization expenses and minimal capital expenditures, it is a much more accurate reflection of our true cash flow potential than operating income.

As noted in our prior quarter’s remarks, following several years of acquisitions and growth-related investment, Dolphin is now well positioned to realize the benefits of that work. We continue to operate in highly attractive sectors, and with rising profitability, modest capex requirements, and $127 million in NOL carryforwards, we remain confident in our ability to generate meaningful free cash flow in the periods ahead. Finally, with insiders holding a substantial stake in the company, management remains deeply aligned with shareholders in the pursuit of long-term value.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the rest of 2026, 2027, and beyond. In addition to organic improvements in our existing business, there are readily identifiable catalysts that should increase earnings even more. We are making progress with our DealMaker partnership, and we just announced a publishing imprint venture with Copper Books and Simon & Schuster that allows us to offer premium book publishing services to our clients with no upfront capital required from Dolphin. We would also remind investors that our bank debt matures in less than two and a half years, which will free up nearly $2.2 million in annual principal and interest payments. Looking a bit further out, we continue to anticipate roughly $1 million in annualized lease savings once our large New York City and Los Angeles leases expire in the second half of 2027. Given our NOLs, which substantially shield us from cash taxes, the bulk of these combined savings should flow directly to the bottom line, providing a further tailwind to free cash flow".

Q1 2026 and Recent Highlights

• Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $12.8 million, an increase of 5.2% from $12.2 million last year.

• Operating loss was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

• Operating expenses for Q1 2026 were $14.9 million, including non-cash expenses of $0.5 million related to depreciation and amortization, a one-time non-recurring distribution guarantee of $0.7 million and legal and professional fees higher than usual due to litigation costs of approximately $0.2 million. This compares to operating expenses of $13.9 million in Q1 2025, including depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million and acquisition costs of approximately $0.4 million.

• Net loss for Q1 2026 was $2.7 million as compared to a net loss of $2.3 million for Q1 2025.

• Basic and diluted loss per share for Q1 2026 was $(0.22) based on 12,327,974 weighted average shares outstanding compared to basic and diluted loss per share in Q1 2025 of $(0.21) based on 11,162,026 weighted average shares outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance, the financial results in this press release refer to a non-GAAP financial measure that involves adjustments to GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain income and/or expense items that management deems are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating results and/or certain items that are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined by Dolphin as net (loss) or income adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) acquisition costs, (v) change in fair value of convertible note, (vi) allowance for credit losses, (vii) litigation costs; (viii) other one-time or non-cash costs.

Management believes that the presentation of operating results using this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information for investors by providing them with the non-GAAP financial measure used by management for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting and in managing the business. This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial results should not be considered a measure of liquidity and is unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

New resource addresses the unique evacuation and health challenges facing older adults as wildfires burn across California and Colorado.

CHESTNUT HILL, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / With wildfires already burning across multiple states weeks before the traditional peak of fire season, Fire Help Center today announced the launch of a comprehensive wildfire preparedness guide tailored for seniors and their caregivers.

The release comes as communities across the country are confronting an early and active start to 2026 fire activity. In California, hundreds of wildfires have already burned thousands of acres this year, with the Springs Fire in Riverside County triggering widespread mandatory evacuations earlier this month.

In Colorado, firefighters responded to multiple wildfires near Boulder in a single week, while county officials in Summit County issued stark warnings that an intense fire season is now a matter of "when, not if."

With May designated as Wildfire Awareness Month in California, Fire Help Center urges families with elderly loved ones to review their preparedness plans now – before fire conditions worsen.

"When evacuation orders come down, older adults and their caregivers face obstacles that many families aren’t prepared for," said Ricky LeBlanc, managing attorney of Sokolove Law. "Mobility limitations, medical equipment, cognitive conditions, and medications all require advance planning. Families often don’t have the time to figure that out in the middle of a crisis."

Fire Help Center has created a preparedness guide for seniors and caregivers that covers:

• Pre-season planning, including how to build personalized evacuation routes accounting for mobility and transportation needs

• Medication and medical equipment continuity, including steps for securing emergency prescription refills and backup power for devices like oxygen concentrators and CPAP machines

• Building a senior-specific go-bag with respiratory protection, medical documentation, and assistive devices

• Wildfire smoke safety for older adults, who face an elevated risk of cardiovascular and respiratory complications from PM2.5 exposure

• Caregiver responsibilities during an active evacuation, including guidance for seniors with dementia or other cognitive conditions

• Safe return home after a wildfire, including structural and air quality hazards specific to older adults

Beyond preparedness, Fire Help Center also helps wildfire survivors understand their legal options. Families who have suffered property damage or personal injury due to a wildfire may be entitled to compensation and can request a free, no-obligation case review at firehelpcenter.com.

About Fire Help Center: Fire Help Center provides resources and support for wildfire victims across the United States, including educational guides, legal information, and free case reviews for those impacted by wildfires. For more information, call (866) 866-0753 or visit firehelpcenter.com.

New Imprint Gives Dolphin Clients a Direct Path from Idea to Bookshelf, and from Bookshelf to Screen, with Retail Distribution Through Simon & Schuster

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Dolphin (Nasdaq:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and content production company, today announced the launch of a new publishing imprint created in partnership with Copper Books and exclusively available to Dolphin clients. Books published under this partnership will be distributed nationally through Simon & Schuster.

For the first time, the artists, athletes, founders, creators, and cultural voices represented across Dolphin’s family of agencies have a direct, end-to-end path from idea to bookshelf, whether that story is a memoir, a novel, a thought leadership title, a cookbook, or a children’s book. Through the partnership with Copper Books, Dolphin can now offer clients a true publishing pathway: editorial development, design-forward production, and retail distribution through Simon & Schuster, all under one roof.

Publishing is not a new world for Dolphin. 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media, Elle Communications, Special Projects, and The Digital Dept. have spent decades building book launches, managing author tours, and turning publication days into cultural moments. They represent and amplify many of today’s most prominent authors – from bestselling novelists and memoirists to thought leaders, journalists, chefs, and athletes whose books shape the cultural conversation. The same clients Dolphin champions at launch can now, when they choose, bring their book into being with Dolphin from the very first page.

"Our agencies have spent years being the team behind some of publishing’s most celebrated launches. What we’re excited by now is the ability to be there from page one. With this partnership, we can walk alongside our clients through the entire journey. From the seed of an idea to bookstore shelves nationwide, and, when the story is extraordinary enough, all the way to the screen through our production and development division," said Bill O’Dowd, CEO of Dolphin.

"At Copper, we built something for people who are ready to say something meaningful and build something that lasts. Dolphin’s clients are exactly the voices we created this for. With the full strength of Dolphin’s creative and PR infrastructure behind every launch, this partnership gives those authors the intimacy and craft of a boutique publisher and the reach of a major," said Allison Trowbridge, Founder & CEO of Copper Books.

The partnership was announced at the Copper Books Book Fair in Nashville, where Dolphin served as a presenting sponsor.

"We’ve been doing Harvest Crusades for 37 years now, but there’s nothing like the spiritual hunger we’ve seen recently in our nation, especially among young people," said Laurie. "This year’s crusade will include moments that honor our nation and recognize 250 years of America. The heart of the night remains the same – to proclaim the gospel and invite people to experience the hope only Jesus can give. We believe this is a message our country needs now more than ever."

This year’s Harvest Crusade will also feature partnerships with local churches and major media outlets. The livestream of the whole event will be available at harvest.org, YouTube, Facebook, and on the Harvest+ app, available on all app platforms, allowing viewers worldwide to participate in real time. In addition, translations into multiple languages will be available onsite and via the livestream.

Due to the overwhelming attendance in recent years, ticketing will be implemented in partnership with Angel Stadium to help ensure a safe, family-friendly and welcoming experience for all attendees. Tickets will be distributed through Angel Stadium’s ticketing platform, and admission will remain free. Attendees are encouraged to visit harvest.org for ticket information and updates.

Harvest Crusades are large-scale evangelistic events with a worldwide history spanning the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Since 1990, more than six million people have attended Harvest Crusades in person, and millions more have participated online. Cumulatively, more than 600,000 individuals have made professions of faith through the Harvest Crusades.
