WILMINGTON, DELAWARE -- November 21, 2012 - TMM, Inc. (Pink Sheet: TMMI) ("TMMI" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of filmmaker Garrett Brown to its advisory board, effective November 1st, 2012.
Garrett Brown is the inventor of the Oscar-winning Steadicam" camera stabilizer that allows cameramen to film while walking without the shaking and jostling of a handheld camera. He used it to shoot over a hundred movies including Rocky, The Shining, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Philadelphia, and Return of The Jedi. He has worked with such directors as Woody Allen, Hal Ashby, John Alvidsen, Warren Beatty, Jonathan Demme, Terry Gilliam, Stanley Kubrick, Mike Nichols, Frank Oz, John Schlesinger, Martin Scorcese and Steven Spielberg.

His new zeroG technology "floats" tools and reduces workplace injuries.
He made his way by innovation: as an admen in the 60s, a filmmaker and inventor in the 70s, a clandestine radio humorist in the 80s and an industry-changing sports videographer in the 90s, Garrett has recorded for MGM as a folksinger, made TV commercials, shot films for Sesame Street, and was the other half of the famous ad-lib radio duo for American Express and Molson Beer which was named by Ad Age as one of 100 "Best Ad Campaigns of the Century.
