UNIVERSAL FILM GROUP SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
Global Universal Film Group, (GUFG), another wholly owned subsidiary,
will serve as the sales arm for Global Universal, with the responsibility
of negotiating worldwide film distribution arrangements for films
produced by Global Universal Entertainment and Global Universal
Pictures.
The
most important reason that Global Universal is able to attract
quality film distribution partners is the extensive relationships
developed by its Management Team. A lifetime of performance, honesty
and integrity in the industry attracts other quality people.
Of nearly equal importance to the quality of the film are the
people selected to handle film distribution. This includes the
commercial exploitation of the film in the U.S. and international
markets including theatrical exhibition, home video distribution
(DVDs, videocassettes, etc.), television exhibition (including
pay-per-view, pay, network, syndication and basic cable), merchandising
and other ancillary rights (such as books, soundtracks, and video
games) and “non-theatrical exhibition” (such as airlines,
cruise ships, hotels and armed forces facilities).
Global Universal Film Group will decide on the general “market
plan” for each film, project future sales, obtain commitments
and pre-sales from domestic and/or foreign outlets as well as
provide possible co-financing and minimum guarantees for the Investor
and shareholders prior to distribution.
The completion of each “in-house” produced film will
add to the Global Universal library, which will be leveraged to
facilitate future film financing, as well as building long-term
shareholder value by creating an additional profit center and
a growing asset base.
“Blue Seduction”, starring Billy Zane (Titanic, BloodRayne)
and Estelle Warren (Supermodel, Planet of the Apes, Law &
order), was successfully completed “on budget” and
“on time”, and was delivered in March of 2009 for
worldwide film distribution. The first showing is planned in the
second quarter of 2009, on Canadian television. GUFG is continuing
discussions with several film distribution companies to co-finance
and distribute the remaining pictures in Global Universal’s
planned slate of feature length films for 2009.
Global Universal currently controls a the library of feature films
that were produced and licensed from Jackie Giroux prior to its
acquisition by Global Entertainment Holdings. Films such as “Deadly
Intent”, “Distortions”, “Coo Coo Café”,
“Damsel of Death” and others, are now part of the
Company’s library, as well as many scripts planned for production.
Some of the films comprising the library were past award nominees
at various film festivals. “Distortions” was recently
re-licensed by Hearst Entertainment for television and jackie
Giroux is currently structuring an agreement for a limited film
distribution release of “Coo Coo Café” and
“Damsel of Death.”
