IRVINE, Calif., May 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "The Cannes film festival is perhaps the most Darwinian opportunity for smaller film companies to compete and bring their films to market," said SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "There the emerging film company stands next to the largest, their creative work competing without regard to ad budget, theatre count or other factors that often stack the deck in favor of the powerhouse filmmakers in the open market."
"Recently, Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE), a fast growing independent film and television company announced the acquisitions of films to be taken to Cannes including the feature film "Chapter 27," starring Jered Leto ("Panic Room", "Requiem for a Dream"), Lindsay Lohan ("Herbie Fully Loaded", "Mean Girls") in a terrifying glimpse into the deranged mind of Mark Chapman in the weekend leading up to his assassination of John Lennon," Clark noted.
Peace Arch Entertainment produces and acquires feature film and television programs for distribution to worldwide markets. Its Peace Arch Films division markets and licenses theatrical films oriented towards the major international film festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Toronto. The company's Archetype Film label focuses on projects in the horror, thriller and action genres. Peace Arch Television specializes in the licensing of the Company's own productions and third-party projects to Canadian and international broadcasters, cable and satellite companies.
