Los Angeles, CA – (WORLD STOCK WIRE) – April 12, 2010 — Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), and Global Universal Pictures (Global Pictures), GBHL’s Canadian production affiliate, are pleased to announce completion of The Night, their fourth feature-length film produced in roughly sixteen months.
“Wow! Was it ever cold!” Stated Jackie Giroux, President of Global Universal, as well as the writer and producer of The Night. “And, this being a ghost story, our cast took advantage of those cold, dark and dreary 3 AM screen calls to play their roles with such realism that they’re well worth the ticket price.”
The Night, filmed entirely on location in Grand Falls, Canada (in the province of New Brunswick), continued the blueprint of success that has become a bankable trademark of GBHL and the Global Universal family of companies. “We have successfully employed our financial strategy to complete 4 films in just under a year and a half, while most other independent film companies have struggled for years to produce just one film”, stated Eric A. Leffler, Business Development Officer of Global Universal Film Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary and the sales & marketing arm of GBHL. “Our financial strategy mitigates our investors’ risk while providing a lucrative potential upside and is, evidently, very attractive. This holds true for our film productions in Canada as well as in the U.S.”
Ms. Giroux stated that, “SCI-FI television star Lex Goderoff, co-starring with Lalesha Railsback, Jimmy McKinley, Angele Bourgeous and Ian Hamrick as the ghost “Rodney”, combined to make an intense, first-class thriller.” Shari Hamrick directed, with Trevor Richardson and Gary Rasmussen, GBHL CEO, as Executive Producers. “Not only will the audience appreciate the production value of The Night, but they will believe in and sympathize with the characters. Hopefully, it will scare the pants off ‘em.”
Gary Rasmussen commented, “Four feature-length films in sixteen months, shows that our financing model, designed to mitigate risk for the investor, while producing quality motion pictures, is certainly working and is attracting the interest of global distribution partners.”
Mr. Rasmussen further stated, “It is well worth a quick review of the success of these four film ventures. Blue Seduction, starring Billy Zane and Estella Warren and distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment and global entertainment leader Starz Media. American Sunset, starring the late Corey Haim, will premiere this May at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Plaster Rock, which is already receiving commercial interest and has a limited theatrical release in Canada scheduled for early May, and now, The Night.”
An example of the interest that such success has attracted, is the partnership entered into by President and CEO of Global Renaissance Entertainment Group, Inc. (GREG), Arthur Wylie, a highly successful business investor in film, real estate, and financial service companies.
GBHL, Mr. Wylie and Omar Tyree, the New York Times bestselling author, whose works have been read by millions, structured an exclusive deal to adapt his popular novels into film. Leslie, a supernatural thriller set in New Orleans, is the first of Tyree’s novels being adapted to film by the GBHL/ GREG joint venture and is in development for the last quarter of 2010.
Mr. Rasmussen stated, “The confidence shown by successful business professionals, global film distributors and well known actors and directors is not only gratifying for all the efforts made to produce such quality films, but is extremely satisfying in proving the soundness of our financing and production strategies.”

Dan has also produced numerous successful Broadway projects and has advised foreign concerns such as Seoul Movie, the Korean animation company and The China Film Group, Corp., the official government agency of The People’s Republic of China, on financing, distribution and production of major motion pictures.”
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin (Milwaukee) with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts (BFA)/Honors, Mr. Sherkow entered the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard University where he earned an MBA.

Following its theatrical release and extraordinarily successful video/DVD distribution, “IMPROMPTU” was telecast on the prestigious Public Broadcasting System (PBS) show “Masterpiece Theatre”.
Mr. Sherkow recently financed and produced the feature motion picture “BEING MICHAEL MADSEN”, starring Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Harry Dean Stanton, Virginia Madsen, and David Carradine. “BEING MICHAEL MADSEN” was a featured official submission at the largest independent film festival in Europe, the Raindance Film Festival in London, and at the Starz Denver International Film Festival and San Francisco International Film Festival. “BEING MICHAEL MADSEN” was also selected to screen in the prestigious “Outside the Box (Office)” series at the USC School of Cinema in Los Angeles.

GBHL’s first two pictures, Blue Seduction and American Sunset have been successful and we expect continued success and profitability with the Murder/Horror thriller Plaster Rock.”

Los Angeles, CA – (WORLD STOCK WIRE) – December 22, 2009 — Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), and Global Universal Pictures, a partially owned subsidiary of GBHL, announced production completion of their third feature-length, motion picture for 2009, Plaster Rock.
GBHL CEO, Gary Rasmussen, stated “Our unique financing strategy coupled with an experienced production team has certainly been proved to be a winning combination. Three major motion pictures financed and completed in just over twelve months in this uncertain economy speaks volumes as to our development strategy. Our first two pictures, Blue Seduction starring Billy Zane and Estella Warren and American Sunset starring Corey Haim have been successful and we expect continued success and profitability with the Murder/Horror thriller Plaster Rock.
Global Universal Pictures, an affiliated GBHL company, is engaged in the production of high quality, genre pictures with recognizable name talent. Jackelyn Giroux, President of Global Universal Pictures and the writer, producer and director of the movie said “Filming Plaster Rock in the wilderness at the New Brunswick location where the actual events of the true story took place adds to the “magic” we believe the audience will experience when they see this entertaining thriller.”
Adding to the excitement of filming the entire production around the remote Tobique River is the variety of talent starring in Plaster Rock. Lead actress in the film playing the former Miss America beauty Michelle is Jessica Holt. Fresh off her success starring in the award winning short film, A Dark Radius, Ms. Holt is a leading lady of many talents. A successful script writer, she is “at home” on both sides of the camera. Jessica is a skilled carpenter and experienced in the art and props departments. Skilled in special effects she is also a “Gun Wrangler” (set firearm specialist).
Christine Johnson starring as the vivacious Roxy also brought many talents to the Plaster Rock set. Christine is not only an accomplished actress she is a singer/songwriter, model and trained dancer in hip hop, jazz, modern and ballet. Fluent in English and French, she is one of many New Brunswick natives appearing in Plaster Rock.

Global Entertainment Holdings & Arthur Wylie Announce Joint Venture In Film Fund
For Immediate Release …..
October 28, 2009 LOS ANGELES, CA — (WORLD STOCK WIRE) — Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Global”), a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTC: GBHL), and Charlotte, North Carolina’s Arthur Wylie, CEO, of Arthur Wylie Enterprises (AWE), announced that they have formed Global Renaissance Funding, LLC. (GRF), a joint venture company that will finance, market and partially own a slate of feature-length motion pictures (a Film Fund). Global, operating through its production subsidiary companies, and Wylie’s Global Renaissance Entertainment Group, Inc. (GREG), will produce the motion pictures funded by the new Film Fund. Wylie, a highly successful business investor in film, real estate, and financial service companies, is committed to raising the necessary capital for the Film Fund to finance a proposed slate of motion pictures with aggregate budgets in excess of $100 million.
GBHL CEO, Gary Rasmussen, stated “Joining forces with Arthur Wylie allows Global to partner with Wylie’s financial resources, as well as his film production and marketing companies (GREG), which plans to produce up to 13 mainstream films over the next 3 to 5 years will be distributed worldwide. We are thrilled with our new partnership.”
Last year, Mr. Wylie and Omar Tyree, the New York Times bestselling author, whose works have been read by millions, structured an exclusive deal to adapt his popular novels into film. LESLIE, a supernatural thriller set in New Orleans, is the first of Tyree’s novels to be adapted to film by GREG and funded by GRF. Currently, Leslie is in development for a fall 2010 release.
Global Renaissance Entertainment Group’s CEO, Arthur Wylie, said “The management teams of Global Universal (GBHL), their Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures, and their film sales company, Global Universal Film Group, all have quality reputations in the film industry and a lifetime of experience. Also, their unique financing strategy for funding film projects, while significantly mitigating investor risk, made the decision to join forces an easy one for me.”
Global Renaissance Funding, will serve as the vehicle to raise capital, allowing both production companies, Global Universal and Global Renaissance Entertainment Group, to produce larger budgeted, yet cost efficient mainstream motion pictures for audiences worldwide.
