Los Angeles, CA – (05/09/13) – Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (OTC: GBHL) announced today that its sales and distribution subsidiary, Global Universal Film Group, today announced that it has just completed a distribution arrangement with Osirius Entertainment for the domestic release of “The Hostage Game”.
“The Hostage Game” stars the late Corey Haim and Frank Molina. Haim, achieved notoriety previously having appeared in Joel Schumacher’s successful feature picture, “The Lost Boys”, and is well known to TV audiences for numerous series and TV movie appearances. He was also at one time named one of the “Top 100 Greatest Kid Stars” by VH1. Haim died unexpectedly at the age of 37, shortly after production of “The Hostage Game” was completed. Director Michael Masucci had praised Haim’s work on the set, stating “Corey was always prepared and a pleasure to work with for myself, the crew, and his fellow actors.” The producer of “The Hostage Game”, Jackie Giroux, called Haim “a consummate professional who elevated what might otherwise be seen as a ‘formula’ picture”.
“The Hostage Game” is an action packed fictional tale of one man’s fight and save his wife in 24 hours, from a demonic killer who leaves a series of clues in a game of kidnapping and intrigue. It was featured at the Louisville Film Festival. Distributor Osirius Entertainment expects “significant business from this well crafted picture especially with Corey’s, still adoring built-in fan base.”
According to Gary Rasmussen, CEO of Global Entertainment Holdings, “This new relationship with Osirius Entertainment adds significant additional distribution channels to our sales and distribution network.”

Los Angeles, CA – March 11, 2013 – Global Entertainment Holdings (OTC: GBHL) and the Lifton Institute of Media Arts and Sciences (LIMS) announce a collaborative effort in the creation and funding of a new film trade school to be opened in the Los Angeles area in the Fall of 2013. James Lifton, founder of LIMS, had success in opening a similar venture situated in the Detroit, Michigan area, where hundreds of unemployed autoworkers and others were able to receive the training necessary to reformat their skills “from the factory line to the silver screen”.
The Global Universal/LIMS venture will initially involve Global Universal seeking investment capital to develop the LIMS school in the Los Angeles area, for which it will receive a finders fee. Subsequently, the venture will endeavor to co-produce films that will afford LIMS students the opportunity to gain valuable experience working on actual Hollywood films as part of their student curriculum. Global Universal will work hand-in-hand with LIMS to find various positions for LIMS students on a variety of productions, including feature pictures, series, and “new media” productions shooting in the Southern California area, acting much like a “placement office”. Global Universal is expected to benefit with lower labor costs on its productions for film production tasks that are handled by LIMS students and supervised by experienced crew members.
This effort means that LIMS students not only get “hands-on” experience while at LIMS, but will have a leg up in securing paying jobs upon graduation, making the experience at LIMS much sought after. In announcing the affiliation, Lifton has declared that, “This is a “win-win” situation for not only LIMS and Global Universal, but most importantly for LIMS students who, once they have attained the necessary skills, will have an actual opportunity to obtain a real paying job in the film industry.”
Daniel Sherkow, Chief Operating Officer of Global Universal Entertainment stated, “Our affiliation with LIMS is a great fit for us as it helps our bottom line with lower production costs and raises our profile in not only Hollywood, but also within the political community of Los Angeles, as part of a job creation endeavor.”

Los Angeles, CA – February 27, 2013. Global Entertainment Holdings (OTC: GBHL) announced today that Global Universal Film Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has commenced sales of its true crime film on DVD, Damsel of Death, to be coupled with the book, Lethal Intent by Sue Russell. Also, included, on the back page of the book with the DVD, is an authentic copy of the original deal memo signed by serial killer, Aileen Wuornos and her attorney, authorizing Jackelyn Giroux to write Ms. Wuornos’ true story. In 1991, Giroux devoted nine months interviewing Wuornos and others, which inspired her film with stunning events that have never been revealed.
This limited edition collectible released today by GBHL contains the book, the DVD and a true copy of the original deal memo, signed by Aileen Wuornos, and believed to be the only signed contract of its kind. GBHL selected Sugar Rose Enterprises of Melbourne, FL to distribute this first run, limited edition of Lethal Intent and the DVD film, Damsel of Death; true crime memorabilia released today for sale on eBay and Amazon.
Jackelyn Giroux commented, “This is not just based upon a true story; this IS the true story. Aileen Wuornos approved every page of the screenplay for the DVD film. True crime enthusiasts should enjoy reading the book, viewing the DVD, and knowing that it’s all true, as the attached deal memo evidences. Although the DVD was made on a ‘shoe string’ budget, I am happy it is finally available to the public because it is a story that needs to be told (a quote at the beginning of the film by Geraldo Rivera). A decade after her death, I thank Global for having the insight to release this collector’s book, DVD and signed deal memo for true crime enthusiasts to cherish and understand what Wuornos’ life was really like.”
Aileen Carol Wuornos (February 29, 1956 – October 9, 2002) was proclaimed America’s female serial killer because she killed seven men in Florida in 1989 and 1990. Wuornos claimed the murders were in self defense. Wuornos was convicted and sentenced to death for six of the murders and was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection on October 9, 2002. She spoke to Jackelyn Giroux the day she was arrested, and gave her rights to Ms. Giroux before she was arraigned. Her story is haunting because she was on the streets at the age of 13 years old, prostituting and living in abandoned vehicles. Psychiatrists could never agree if Wuornos was insane or if she murdered for recognition and fame.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Global Entertainment Holdings (OTCBB: GBHL) announced today that Global Universal Film Group’s presentation of “AMERICAN SUNSET”, starring Corey Haim and Frank Molina, will be playing at The Louisville International Film Festival from October 6th through October 9th, 2011.
“We are so proud of the late Corey Haim’s performance in this thriller,” stated Jackie Giroux, the writer and one of the producers of the film. “In the Behind the Scenes for AMERICAN SUNSET, Corey stated that he hoped he would be recognized by his peers for his performance in AMERICAN SUNSET, so we wish to thank the entire committee, including Conrad Bachmann and Brett Bachmann, for playing this film at The Louisville International Film Festival this year.”
“Veteran Actress and Entertainer Lily Tomlin will be placed in the ‘Walk of Fame’ at the Galt House on October 6th to open the Film Festival, so we feel honored to be a part of this prestigious film festival,” commented Gary Rasmussen, CEO of Global Entertainment Holdings. “We look forward to meeting Kentucky film makers at the Louisville Film Festival, as co-star Frank Molina and Director Michael Masucci will be in attendance to answer any questions about AMERICAN SUNSET or Corey Haim.” Gary Rasmussen and Eric Leffler are the Executive Producers of the Corey Haim film AMERICAN SUNSET.
Dan Sherkow, COO of Global Universal Entertainment continued: “Members of our production team, plus Corey Haim’s co-star, Frank Molina, will be in attendance at The Louisville International Film Festival, which provides grants to help fund educational efforts focused on training film makers of tomorrow in Metro Louisville and the commonwealth of Kentucky.”
AMERICAN SUNSET was directed by Michael Masucci in New Brunswick, Canada, and also co-stars Bernie Robichaud of TRAILER PARK BOYS fame. Corey Haim and Frank Molina play two unlikely characters who would have never met except through the unfortunate kidnapping of Haim’s wife, played by Angela Cullins. Haim has 24 hours to find his wife, with the assistance of Molina’s character. Corey Haim was just beginning to promote the film, when he contracted pneumonia and suddenly died. Global Universal had so many fans begging to see the film that it decided to offer a DVD of the film directly to Haim’s fans through a special Global website, as no distribution plans have yet been made out of respect for Haim’s untimely death.
