Friday, February 26th, 2010

Los Angeles, CA – (WORLD STOCK WIRE) – February 24, 2010 — Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), announced that successful motion picture and television producer Daniel A. Sherkow is now the Chief Operating Officer of Global Universal Entertainment, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary and the U.S. production arm of GBHL.

GBHL CEO Gary Rasmussen said “Our U.S. film operations will now be lead by a man that knows every facet of the entertainment and motion picture business. Dan has arranged financing and produced successful and award winning films for ABC, NBC and CBS television, Time-Life Films, Paramount Pictures, Tri-Star Pictures, and Dick Clark Productions. 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 senior management positions at NBC Television and Time-Life Films, and then Vice President, Production at Paramount Pictures and Tri-Star Pictures, Mr. Sherkow produced the feature motion picture “SUSPECT,” written by Eric Roth (“FORREST GUMP”) and starring Cher, Dennis Quaid, and Liam Neeson. Mr. Sherkow funded and produced “AMERICAN BUILT”/”RACE FOR GLORY”; and “IMPROMPTU”, which opened to universal acclaim and won the prestigious Houston WorldFest Award as “Audience Favorite”. “IMPROMPTU”, starring Judy Davis, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Mandy Patinkin, Bernadette Peters and Julian Sands, marked the film directorial debut of noted Broadway stage director, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner, James Lapine (“SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE”). 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.

Mr. Sherkow has produced the Made-For-TV-Movies “DONOR”, starring Melissa Gilbert and Jack Scalia, as Executive Producer for CBS Entertainment;”ELVIS AND THE COLONEL: THE UNTOLD STORY”, starring Beau Bridges for Dick Clark Productions and NBC; and served as Executive Producer for “ALL LIES END IN MURDER”, starring Kim Delaney and Jamey Sheridan (“LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT”) for ABC-TV.

American Sunset starring Corey Haim and the thriller Plaster Rock. Pre-production activities have started on a fourth feature length motion picture tentatively titled “The Dark.”

Global Universal Entertainment COO, Daniel A. Sherkow stated “Our unique financing strategy coupled with mitigating investor risk has certainly been proven correct. Three major motion pictures financed and completed in less than fifteen months in this uncertain economy speaks volumes as to the GBHL development strategy. 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.”

Mr. Sherkow further stated “Joining the Global Universal team was an easy decision. The people involved with GBHL have, literally, a lifetime of experience in the film business and their reputations are impeccable. I wanted to get in on the ground floor to be a part of building a major motion picture company.”

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.

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. Wylie said “I will utilize Global’s successful financial strategy and our well known Arthur Wylie brand, to attract A-List talent, global distribution partners, top-notch production teams, as well as investors for our Film Fund.”
