Peace Arch Home Entertainment Announces Canadian Distribution Agreement with Odd Lot Entertainment for Three New Feature Films


Agreement Further Validates Company’s Strategic Plan to Produce or Acquire a High Volume of Reliably Saleable Film and Television Projects


Toronto –October 4, 2007 - Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX: PAE) (TSX: PAE), an integrated global entertainment company creating critically acclaimed television, film and DVD content for worldwide distribution, today announced an agreement with Odd Lot Entertainment to acquire Canadian home video rights to three of its feature films, “Suburban Girl,” “Undead or Alive” and “Ira & Abby.”  The Company’s Peace Arch Home Entertainment division will premiere the DVD for each film in Canada in early 2008.


The agreement is consistent with the Company's strategy of building one of the largest independent film and television libraries in the world to generate sustainable revenues through multiple distribution channels in nearly every major international market.


 “We are delighted to partner with Odd Lot Entertainment to bring these high-quality films to the Canadian market,” said Berry Meyerowitz, President of Peace Arch Home Entertainment. “We believe that each film has a strong appeal to the core DVD buyers in their demographic.”


“Suburban Girl” is a romantic comedy based on two short stories from Melissa Bank’s best-selling short story collection, “The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing,” about love, loss and ambition.  Brett Eisenberg (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a junior New York book editor struggling to make her way up the corporate ladder. When she meets the much older Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin), a powerful publisher known for trysts with younger women, she decides to stop playing it safe – with her career and her heart.  Archie introduces Brett to the elite world of New York literati and she falls madly in love. The film is an Odd Lot Entertainment production in association with Catch 23 Productions, produced by Deborah Del Prete, Gigi Pritzker, Daryl Taja and co-produced by Linda McDonough. The film was written and directed by Marc Klein.


“Undead or Alive,” a comedic western, tells the tale of two friends who encounter a horrific adventure. Elmer Winslow (James Denton) is a soldier on the run from the Union Army, and Luke Budd (Chris Kattan) is a cowboy with a broken heart.  When the two misfits rob the corrupt sheriff of an old west town, they have no idea that a plague of zombies is sweeping the country, or that Geronimo's sexy niece (Navi Rawat) may be their only hope of survival. Undead or Alive stars Chris Kattan, James Denton, Navi Rawat, Matt Besser, Chris Coppola, and Leslie Jordan.  The film is written and directed by Glasgow Phillips (writer, “South Park," "Father of the Pride," "The Adventures of Chico and Guapo"), and is produced by Odd Lot Entertainment's Deborah Del Prete and Gigi Pritzker, along with co-producer Linda McDonough.  David Greathouse also produced.


“Ira & Abby,” from the award-winning filmmakers of Kissing Jessica Stein, is a hilarious and slightly subversive romantic comedy that examines the issues of marriage, monogamy and whether “I do” is the only path to life-long love and happiness.  It features an all-star cast including Chris Messina, Jennifer Westfeldt, Frances Conroy, Judith Light with Jason Alexander, Robert Klein and Fred Willard. The film was recently in competition at the 2007 Deauville Film Festival, and has won numerous awards including the 2006 Audience Award and Best Narrative Feature at the Los Angeles Film Festival, the Audience Award at the Boston Jewish Film Festival, and Best Feature and Best Actress prizes at the 2007 HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.  Ira & Abby is directed by Robert Cary (Save Me, Anything But Love) by an original screenplay by Westfeldt, who executive produces with Ilana Levine.  The producer is Brad Zions, the associate producer Stu Pollard, the co-producer Declan Baldwin.


“Peace Arch’s enthusiasm for our product and their strong reputation in the Canadian market made them a clear choice for these projects,” said Brian O’Shea, Executive Vice President Worldwide Distribution of Odd Lot International. “We look forward to working with Berry and the entire Peace Arch team as these and other films are released into the marketplace.”
