    Facebook is expanding its services to small businesses that want to sell to customers in other countries.

    The social media company said Thursday it's adding features to its small business sites that allow companies to search for and advertise to customers in other countries. Businesses will be able to choose which countries they want to target, and can aim at customers in specific regions or the entire world. The features will be available to small businesses around the world.

    Sixty million businesses have Facebook pages, and more than 1 billion people using the social media site are connected to at least one business in another country, the company said. In the U.S., more than 60 percent of Facebook users are connected to a company in another country.

    Catalysts for the expansion included data that showed Facebook users and small businesses are increasingly engaging in cross-border transactions, the company said. It also has had requests from companies for more tools to help them expand.

    "The No. 1 thing they want is the ability to reach more customers," said Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of the Menlo Park, California-based company.

    Facebook is also providing online seminars and a handbook to help businesses that need to learn about global marketing issues. Among them: having the ability to provide enough products for any stepped-up demand, and challenges like shipping goods to other countries.

    MTI FILM, the multiple Emmy Award winning Hollywood postproduction facility and software developer, has acquired Mango New Edit, a premier provider of remote dailies and Avid editorial services to the production community since 1994. Founded by industry veteran Stan Cassio, Mango New Edit brings three decades of Avid offline editing expertise, a network of global data center locations, and a distinguished portfolio of high-profile television credits to the MTI FILM family.

    The acquisition positions MTI FILM as one of the most comprehensive postproduction service providers in the industry, capable of supporting productions from the first day of principal photography through final delivery--encompassing dailies, offline editorial, VFX, and final color grading. Combined with MTI Remote’s proven track record supporting Emmy Award-winning productions including Shōgun and the highly popular 9-1-1, the expanded company, including its Vancouver subsidiary, Flow Post Partners, can now offer truly global production support at every stage of the creative process.

    “This acquisition is a landmark moment for what we can offer our production clients,” said Barbara Marshall, SVP at MTI FILM. “For years, productions have had to piece together their post pipeline across multiple vendors and time zones. Now MTI FILM can be a true end-to-end creative partner--from the moment camera cards come off set, through editorial and VFX, all the way to final color. The creative continuity that brings to a production is invaluable, and combined with Stan’s extraordinary team and their global reach, we can now support our clients anywhere in the world without sacrificing the quality and personal attention they’ve always expected from...
