PROXY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This proxy statement is being furnished to shareholders of New Millennium Media
International, Inc., a Colorado Corporation (the "Company"), in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Company's Board of Directors for use at the
Annual Meeting to be held at on Friday, June 18, 2004, 9:00 a.m. PDT, at
Lafayette Park Hotel, 3287 Mount Diablo Boulevard, Lafayette, CA 94549 (the
"Annual Meeting") and at any adjournment(s) thereof.
The Annual Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and acting upon:
1. A proposal to amend the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation to
effect a change in the name of the corporation from New Millennium
Media International, Inc. to OnScreen Technologies, Inc.;
2. Election of two directors to serve for two-year terms and one director
to serve for a one-year term; and
3. Such other business, if any, as may properly come before the 2004
Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO ITS ARTICLES
OF INCORPORATION AND "FOR" ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.
RECORD DATE; SHARES ENTITLED TO VOTE; VOTE REQUIRED
Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock and Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding at the close of business on May 28, 2004 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and
at any adjournment(s) thereof. No shares of Series B convertible Preferred stock
are outstanding. Each share of Common Stock and each share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote. As of the close of business
on the Record Date, 27,367,183 shares of Common Stock and 2,720,580 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at
the Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to
percentages of outstanding shares of stock are based on such numbers of shares
outstanding. Shares entitled to vote are referred to hereafter as "Voting
Shares".
The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of one third of the votes
entitled to be cast is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining whether a quorum
is present. A record holder of Voting Shares who completes and properly signs
the accompanying proxy card and returns it to the Company will have their shares
voted as directed on the proxy card. If a shareholder attends the Annual
Meeting, that shareholder may vote his or her shares by completing a ballot at
the Annual Meeting.
As of the Record Date, directors and executive officers of the Company and their
affiliates may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of approximately 12.9% of
the outstanding Voting Shares. Each of our directors and executive officers
plans to vote or direct the vote of all Voting Shares over which he or she has
voting control in favor of the amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and the election of the nominees for director.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast as of the
Record Date is required to approve the proposals as noted above.
PROXIES
Voting Shares represented by properly executed proxies received at or before the
Annual Meeting that have not been revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in
accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. Voting Shares
represented by properly executed proxies for which no instruction is given will
be voted "FOR" the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
"FOR" election of the nominees for director. We request that as promptly as
possible you mark, sign, date and return promptly the enclosed proxy card in the
postage-prepaid envelope provided for this purpose, to ensure that your shares
are voted. Your stock will be voted in accordance with the instructions you give
in your proxy. Your proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted by
signing and returning a proxy bearing a later date for the same shares, by
filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation bearing a later
date or by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any
subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting all proxies will be voted in the
same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of
the Annual Meeting, except for any proxies that have at that time effectively
been revoked or withdrawn, notwithstanding that they may have been effectively
voted on the same or any other matter at a previous meeting.
PROPOSALS BY SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the Annual Meeting must have
been received by us not later than May 28, 2004 for inclusion in the proxy
materials for the Annual Meeting. We are not aware of any matters to be voted on
at the Annual Meeting except those listed on the accompanying notice of Annual
Meeting of shareholders. The accompanying proxy gives discretionary authority to
the persons named to vote the shares in their best judgment if any other matters
are properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSES
The Company will bear the cost of soliciting its proxies, including the expenses
of distributing its proxy materials. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies
may be solicited by personal interview, telephone or telegram by directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Company who will receive no additional
compensation for doing so. The Company may reimburse brokers, custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them
in forwarding proxy material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held
by them as shareholders of record.
OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

ownership of Voting Shares as of May 28, 2004 by: (i) each shareholder known by
us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding Voting Shares,

PROPOSAL I
AMENDMENT OF RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO
EFFECT A CHANGE OF CORPORATION NAME
The Board of Directors believes that the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders will be served by amending the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation to effect a change of the Company's name to OnScreen Technologies,
Inc.
The Company has redirected its business focus from the EyeCatcherPlus and the
traditional Light Emitting Diode (LED) signage to the commercialization of the
OnScreen(TM) technology. The Company's plan is to focus all of its resources on
the commercialization of the OnScreen(TM) technology. Because of the emphasis on
the OnScreen(TM) technology, the Board of Directors believes that changing its
name to OnScreen Technologies, Inc. will better reflect the nature of the
Company's business focus.
If the shareholders approve this proposed amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation, the amendment will become effective upon the filing of an
amendment to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary
of State of Colorado.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The Board of Directors proposes as follows:
The Articles of Incorporation of New Millennium Media International, Inc. be
amended by deleting in its entirety Article I, Name, and substituting in place
thereof the following;
"ARTICLE I
NAME
The name of the corporation shall be OnScreen Technologies, Inc."
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE APPROVAL OF THIS AMENDMENT IS IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT.
PROPOSAL II
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
New Millennium currently has three directors on its Board of Directors each of
whom have been nominated for re-election this year and have agreed to serve if
elected.
At the current time the Company has authorized six Board of Directors seats,
each set for a term of two years. The Board of Directors set these terms at
staggered terms in order to maintain continuity on the Board of Directors. In
order to effect this staggered term strategy, the six seats are numbered
consecutively, 1 through 6. Seats 1 and 3 will be elected for two year terms at
the Annual Meeting. These directors will serve as directors until the 2006
annual meeting of shareholders unless they die, resign or are removed before
that meeting. Seat 2 will be elected for a one year term. This director will
serve as director until the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders unless he dies,
resigns or is removed before that meeting. It is anticipated that when the
remaining three seats are elected, the staggered strategy will be followed.
Shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote
per share for each Director. Cumulative voting is not permitted.
If a nominee becomes unavailable for election before the 2004 Annual Meeting,
the Board of Directors can name a substitute nominee and proxies will be voted
for such substitute nominee unless an instruction to the contrary is written on
the proxy card.

Employment Agreements
President
In November 1999, the Company executed a three-year employment agreement with
its president that was amended on June 2000. The agreement provides for a base
salary of $140,000 in year one and $120,000 per year in years two and three, a
non-accountable expense allowance of $10,000 per year, a stock issuance equal to
10% of the outstanding common shares, and discretionary incentive compensation
payments. It also provided that the President/CEO would receive incentive
compensation payments which are not less than the highest such payments provided
to any other senior executive of the Company. This agreement was renewed in late
2002 for another three-year term with the same provisions expiring December 31,
2005.
On February 3, 2004, a Second Addendum to the Employment Agreement was entered
into pursuant to which the Company agreed to cap Mr. Thatch's entitlement to
shares of common stock at 3,000,000 and pay him 1% of all revenue derived from
any licensing fees received by the Company in connection with the OnScreen(TM)
technology, provided that the Company consummates the Private Placement in its
entirety and receives the portion of the Unit purchase price to which it is
entitled. On February 10, 2004, the Company's board of directors approved
increasing the President's salary to $150,000 for the duration of his employment
agreement since the employment agreement for the President included the
provision that he would get paid equal compensation to any other senior
executive of the Company (the Director of Research and Development's salary is
$150,000). The President will receive $120,000 in cash and the remaining $30,000
will be accrued.
Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer
On December 16, 2003, the Company executed a three-year employment agreement
that is effective January 1, 2004 with its Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. The terms of this agreement are as follows: i) Base salary of
$120,000 during 2004, $150,000 during 2005 and $180,000 during 2006, ii) a
sign-on bonus for $10,000 payable before March 31, 2004 and eligible for the
bonus plan as set up by the Company, iii) receive 120,000 shares of Series A
convertible preferred stock for each period of June 2004, January 2005 and June
2005 and iv) receive a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.25 which expires on November 30, 2006. In the event of a
change of control, the Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall immediately
accelerate and be issued within 30 days of written notice from the employee.
Director of Research and Development and Chief Technology Officer
In May 2003, the Company executed a six-month employment agreement (the
"Agreement") with the Director of Research and Development. The employee's
compensation was for $10,000 per month accrued but deferred until such time the
Company's technical division has sufficient cash on hand to pay the salary. At
the employee's option, such accrued salary may be converted to common or
preferred shares of the Company at the current bid price. In addition, the
employee is granted, upon execution of the employment agreement, three-year
warrants for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $0.25 per share; three-year warrants for 750,000 shares at $0.35 per share
upon completion of Phase II prototype as defined in the Agreement; three-year
warrants for 500,000 shares at $0.40 per share upon receipt by the Company of
any Next Stage OnScreen funding in excess of $150,000 as defined in the
Agreement and three-year warrants for 250,000 shares at $0.50 per share upon
receipt by the Company of payment for commercial orders in excess of $200,000.
During 2003, the Company issued 1,750,000 of the warrants in accordance with the
Director of Research and Development's agreement. The remaining 250,000 warrants
were not issued at December 31, 2003, as the criteria for the shares to be
issued had not been met. The expense relating to the warrant to purchase 500,000
shares of common stock was recognized over the six-month agreement term and the
warrant to purchase 1,250,000 of common stock was recognized at the time the
related milestones were met.
On February 5, 2004, the above agreement was extended with an effective date of
November 1, 2003 for a three-year term. The salary will be $150,000 in the first
year, $180,000 in the second year and $240,000 in the third year. This employee
has a right to 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock, these shares, if
the employee is terminated for cause or resigns, may be repurchased from the
employee for $450. The amount of shares that can be repurchased by the Company
declines by 150,000 shares each year, resulting in the shares being fully vested
on November 1, 2006.
