primarily to a foreign network of affiliated stock agents.
INS created and distributed Movie Snapshot reviews to 3
million readers online and in print. Before that, Randy was

Sygma (now Corbis-Sygma) and Black Star Publishing. His

technical and management skills. Over the years, he has
overseen creative staffs including six film critics at INS
