‘Plaster Rock: Terror on the Tobique’

With an all New Brunswick cast and crew, Plaster Rock: Terror on the Tobique was filmed in the rural community of Riley Brook. The thriller-horror begins with a test of athletics that turns into a quest for survival. Director Jackie Giroux caught wind of a murder story in the area in the 1930s and Plaster Rock became her next project. While four former female and male athletes are set to participate in a wilderness cross-country skiing contest, set in a remote location only accessible by boat, they quickly realize there’s more than $250,000 on the line. It’s their lives. The quest to survive includes a solid cast of New Brunswick actors, including: Jessica Holt, Christine Johnson, Eric Leffler, Michael Mascucci, Frank Molina, Jason Nicholson, Lalesha Railsback, Kelsey Wilson and Peter Loughran.

Global Universal’s “Plaster Rock” Officially Selected To Feature At The Silver Wave Film Festival

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

October 28, 2010 Los Angeles, CA – (WORLD STOCK WIRE) – Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), and its affiliate, Global Universal Pictures (“Global Pictures”), was honored at a New Brunswick, Canada, entertainment luncheon, where it was announced that Plaster Rock — Terror on the Tobique, had been officially selected, from among numerous quality films, as a feature presentation film at this year’s Annual Silver Wave Film Festival. More information on the film, and the Plaster Rock trailer can be viewed at: www.plasterrockmovie.com.

This will be the Silver Wave ’s 10th Annual Film Festival, which selects feature films, documentaries and short films produced around the World, but highlights film makers in the New Brunswick area. CBC television is one of the sponsors of the film festival, and offers a lucrative distribution deal to selected winners.

The Fredericton News Channel in New Brunswick, Canada, covered the exclusive luncheon, which named its official selections from among more than 80 films in competition at this year’s event, to be held November 4th in Fredericton.  Global Universal Picture’s film Director, Jackie Giroux, was featured in the Fredericton News Channel’s coverage of the luncheon event (http://frederictonnewschannel.com/).

Plaster Rock was named an official selection based on its favorable reviews and the success of its limited theatrical release at The Grand Cinema Three in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, before it went to the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival in May, 2010.

Jackie Giroux, the film’s director, stated, “Last year we were honored to have our film, American Sunset, selected to officially open the Silver Wave Film Festival, and this year we thrilled with being honored once again having Plaster Rock featured as an official selection. This validates the quality of feature films that the Global Universal team can produce. Plaster Rock is our third feature film produced in less than two years, with our fourth film, “The Night”, currently in post-production, and already developing a following stemming from the film’s cast, including a Hollywood newcomer and child star, Ian Hamrick, as well as Lalesha Railsback, daughter of well known actor Steve Railsback.”

Global Universal is pleased to play such a distinguished role in the Silver Wave Film Festival, and looks forward to continue its production of quality feature films for the world to enjoy.  Last year’s opening film, American Sunset, starring the late Corey Haim, is now available on DVD only at www.AmericanSunsetTheMovie.com

Plaster Rock is an action packed thriller-horror film with humorous and egotistical characters. The story depicts eight young men and women, celebrities in their own mind, who are paid to compete in a cross-country skiing contest in the wilderness of northern New Brunswick, Canada. However, once left in the wilderness, they soon discover there is a hidden agenda behind this strange, but profitable  outing. Each participant is led to believe they must be the superior, lone survivor in order to collect the lavish cash reward. The plot takes a spell binding twist when the participants begin to realize that they must collaborate together in order outsmart their mysterious host.
