PEACE
ARCH CONCLUDES MOST SUCCESSFUL
AMERICAN
FILM MARKET (AFM) IN COMPANY HISTORY
Peace
Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX: PAE; TSX: PAE.LV)
today announced that the 2005 American Film Market in Santa Monica, California
was the most successful Market in the Company's history.
Through
its theatrical sales unit Peace Arch Films Ltd. and its new genre division
Archetype Films, the Company concluded presales across its entire slate of
nine
new projects in Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Japan, Scandinavia,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil, Greece, the Middle East, South
Africa, Indonesia, the Czech and Slovak Republics, former Yugoslavia, C.I.S.,
Turkey and Romania.
Peace
Arch sold its films to many of the most highly regarded independent distributors
in the industry including Metropolitan in France, Asmik Ace in Japan, Momentum
in the U.K., Smile in Scandinavia, Paradiso in Benelux, Aurum in Spain, Echo
Films and Lusomundo in Portugal and Odeon in Canada.
Penny
Wolf, Peace Arch's Executive Vice President of International Sales and
Marketing, stated: "We are very pleased to have achieved such tremendous success
in our first film market since restructuring Peace Arch’s international sales
division. We believe Peace Arch is one of the few companies bringing such a
broad array of top quality projects to the market, and we are delighted that
worldwide distributors at AFM responded so favorably to our exciting new
line-up."
"Peace
Arch’s wealth of presales at AFM validates our corporate strategy of offering
distributors a diverse slate of desirable productions in a variety of genres
and
budgets," said Peace Arch President John Flock. "We expect that this strategy,
combined with the Company’s conservative approach to production financing, will
provide us with increasingly reliable cash flow and bottom-line operating
results while we focus on rapidly and profitably expanding the size of our
film
and television libraries."
Peace
Arch introduced nine new titles at the 2005 American Film Market, including
CHAPTER 27 starring Lindsay Lohan and Jared Leto and "DELIRIOUS" starring Steve
Buscemi, Michael Pitt and Alison Lohman. The Company also launched its new
genre
division, Archetype Films, which focuses on horror, thriller, action and
suspense movies.
