“One of the funniest comedians in America” - The New York Times
“Comedy’s most fearless superhero” - Entertainment Weekly
“A one-woman comic army” - Los Angeles Times

“The woman is fearless” - The Boston Globe

CHATSWORTH, CA, October 22, 2009 – Perhaps one of the most gifted and powerful comediennes of our time, Margaret Cho is back with a vengeance as her raucous and no-holds-barred brand of comedy takes center stage in “Beautiful,” Cho’s fifth live concert DVD, being released nationwide by Image Entertainment on November 17.

Learning to love her luscious self over the past forty years, comedian Margaret Cho realized that the eye of the beholder doesn’t hold all the power when it comes to beauty. Our tastes may be groomed by the media, but how we feel about how we look brings our self-image into focus. Armed with something more potent than lip gloss — a mouth so shocking and raunchy it should be stamped with a warning. Cho toured America with her manifest “This show is really about how we should feel beautiful.” “When you feel beautiful, you’re going to have more of a willingness to use your voice to speak,” says Cho. Shot at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, Cho’s latest stand-up concert film, “Beautiful” explores the good, bad and downright ugly in beauty, and the unattractive politicians and marketers who shape our world. Cho also currently stars on Lifetime’s popular show “Drop Dead Diva.”

“Widgets” poised to change the way consumers view television, how content providers and advertisers reach audiences

Los Angeles, October 1, 2009 – “Will widgets work? Web-enabled TV in search of a killer app” — a report on widget TV and its impact on consumers, broadcasters, content providers, advertisers and government regulators —- was released today by Ernst & Young’s Global Media & Entertainment Center.

The report suggests that the potential of Web-enabled television, which has been struggling for the past 15 years, may finally be realized through the integration of widgets —- the ‘mini-applications’ that have become popular during the past two years and are now used regularly by consumers for a variety of entertainment, productivity and information functions on computers and mobile devices.

“Widgets have very quickly become a part of consumers’ daily lives, and you would be hard pressed to find a computer or mobile device without them,” said John Nendick, Global Sector Leader, Ernst & Young’s Global Media & Entertainment Center. “When you combine consumers’ increasing reliance on widgets with the rapid incorporation of Web-enabled technology in almost all new hardware, the proliferation and adoption of widgets on television becomes self-evident,” Nendick continued.

Surveys included in the report demonstrate widespread support for widget-enabled television applications among consumers. Of the groups surveyed, 76% of consumers believe having a widget toolbar on their primary television would be valuable1; 61% say they would like their television to connect to the Internet2; and 30% consider the idea of news and information widgets on their television to be “appealing.3”

The report also discloses:

Advertising issues are inevitable: As TV viewer attention migrates from programming to TV widgets, broadcast ratings and advertising rates may need to be protected against further erosion. Although, there is a potential that TV widgets could reduce channel surfing because they permit consumers to view multiple sources of content at one time, one challenge to manage is that conflicting advertising could appear simultaneously (i.e., a TV widget from auto manufacturer A on the screen during a commercial for auto manufacturer B). Another potential issue is that one widget could lure viewers to another competitor’s network program. These challenges need to be managed so the true marketing and viewer benefits of TV widgets are not eclipsed.

Channel conflicts need to be managed: TV affiliate agreements restrict the window and markets for first-run content. In addition, content available on premium services can only be accessed by service subscribers. Success is more likely if these contractual limitations are managed and cable operators ensure content is available to each household TV, regardless of the distribution channel. Until then, the content released on TV widgets will likely be restricted to marketing trailers for example, potentially preventing consumers from experiencing the wealth of content offered through TV Widgets.

Regulatory bodies should examine the impact: The ability of TV widgets to launch full-screen Internet broadcasts could permit content providers to launch programmed channels without regulatory licenses. As with the other new media offerings, regulation will likely follow offerings and the permitted uses of this technology will remain in flux as regulators grapple with their full potential.

New operational capabilities are needed: Programming, scheduling and reporting on the performance of TV widgets will present a variety of operational challenges that will need to be addressed to fully realize the potential of TV widgets and encourage their continued evolution.

Competition for compelling content will continue to increase: Web connectivity and TV widgets offer consumers content options far beyond broadcast, cable and satellite alternatives. Traditional broadcast content is already competing for viewership with Web content. A consumer’s preferred channels will become increasingly apparent. In this respect, TV widgets will facilitate content searches, potentially generating more competition across TV channels.

The report further explains what likely will or will not work if an interactive TV application, such as TV widgets, is to be successful. Ease-of-use and free, advertising-based services are the top two factors for success, followed by an offering of non advertiser-subsidized premium content. What will not work, based on Ernst & Young’s analysis is asking consumers to use the TV as a computer, limiting content choices and requiring an additional fee on top of what the consumer is already paying for cable/satellite programming and Internet connectivity.

“TV widgets present content providers with an immediate opportunity to strengthen their relationships with consumers,” said Howard Bass, Partner, Advisory Services, Ernst & Young’s Global Media & Entertainment Center. “Content and technology companies that respond to consumers’ need for a simple and elegant user interface will likely have the most success with TV widgets.”

The report concludes that in the short-term, TV widgets will likely allow content companies to reinforce their brands and promote their programming. Long-term, consumer adoption will ramp-up and advertising and pay-for-play will prove significant. When this occurs, content companies and advertisers will finally be able to strengthen their relationships with viewers/consumers through Web-enabled television.

Wall Street drama set to begin filming on location in New York by February

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18, 2009 – Academy Award®-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri has signed a deal to write and co-produce “Wall Street Mafia” with California-based Fiore Films.

The film is expected to be in pre-production by December with filming to begin on-location in New York in February and a nationwide theatrical release towards the end of 2010. An announcement is expected shortly on the film’s director and actors. According to Fiore Films president and CEO Marc Fiore, the company is “in negotiations with award-winning creative talent and actors.”

In addition to writing and co-producing, Palminteri may also co-star in the film, depending on his schedule. Palminteri is also currently performing his hit Broadway show “A Bronx Tale” to sold-out audiences in theatres across the country. Palminteri will be seen next in “A Bronx Tale” at The Venetian in Las Vegas October 17-18.

“Chazz is part of an all-star team being assembled for this film,” said Fiore. “There has been tremendous interest in ‘Wall Street Mafia’ based on the storyline and the fact that Chazz is writing the script.”

“Wall Street Mafia” is based on the true story of the FBI’s investigation into the mafia’s involvement in Wall Street and the world of finance during the mid-1990s that ultimately led to the arrest of several hundred individuals and the shuttering of more than two-dozen brokerage firms. Against this backdrop, the film tells the story of Bobby Bataglia, a young executive who left the streets of Brooklyn for a college education and a career on Wall Street. After accepting a partnership at a supposedly reputable brokerage house, Batalgia finds out the firm is in business with the Mob. Unable to leave because of threats on his life, Batalglia finds himself caught between the Mob and the FBI’s aggressive tactics to get him to talk. The story continues to unfold as Bataglia tries to escape the life he so desperately wanted to avoid as a kid on the streets of Brooklyn.

Academy Award®-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri is best-known for his tour-de-force performance on Broadway in “A Bronx Tale.” He went on to write the screenplay and co-star in the screen adaptation of “A Bronx Tale” alongside Robert De Niro, who also made his directorial debut with the film. Palminteri has more than 50 movies to his credit including “The Usual Suspects,” “Bullets Over Broadway” (Academy Award® nomination, Independent Spirit Award winner), “Analyze This,” “Hurlyburly,” and “Mulholland Falls.” He has also directed the HBO series “Oz,” Showtime’s “Women vs. Men” and the feature film “Noel” starring Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Robin Williams and Paul Walker. He was last seen on the New York stage in the play “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” starring with Al Pacino, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Billy Crudup.

Fiore Films, LLC is a film production company based in New York. The company, established in 2009, also has offices in Los Angeles and New Jersey. Films currently in production or development include “Wall Street Mafia” and “West Sixth.” More information is available at www.fiorefilmsllc.com.

New York Times bestselling author Simon Cox to produce, host
investigative show that “explains the unexplainable”

NEW YORK, July 21, 2009 – Simon Cox, the New York Times bestselling author of “Cracking The DaVinci Code” and internationally renowned expert on alternative history and unexplained phenomena, will produce and host “Simon Cox Investigates,” slated to launch in the fall.

“Simon Cox Investigates” will be an episodic series that examines a variety of topics that will capture viewers’ imagination and spark discussion. Cox will delve into stories ranging from the pyramids of Egypt and the Lost City of Atlantis to tarot cards and UFOs in pursuit of a better understanding of things we think we already know. The first show, tentatively titled “Little Green Men and Other Strange Beliefs,” will explore why people have a need to believe in something intangible, such as life on other planets or psychic predictions.

The investigative show is being produced by Henu Productions, Inc., Cox’s Los Angeles-based production company. Eight episodes of the series have been ordered for the show’s first season.

Each episode of the series will premiere on “Into The Duat,” (www.intotheduat.com) the just-launched online portal for multimedia content based on the writings and work of Cox and his non-traditional approach to history and science. After a limited run online, the entire series will then be released on DVD along with previously unseen footage and other extras not available online.

“This new series will take us to locations around the world as we explore ancient myths, historic mysteries and unexplained occurrences,” said Cox. “Our approach will combine science and historical fact with alternative hypotheses and explanations to plausible theories that may or may not be widely accepted.”

Simon Cox is a New York Times bestselling author and internationally renowned expert on alternative history and ancient mysteries. His “Cracking The Da Vinci Code” sold more than 2 million copies and was translated into approximately two-dozen languages. Cox is acknowledged as the foremost authority on author Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series of novels, having also authored “Illuminating Angels & Demons” and “The Dan Brown Companion.” Cox’s latest book, “Decoding The Lost Symbol,” a companion to Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol,” is due to be published in November 2009 by Simon & Schuster. A sought after speaker, Cox has lectured at more than 50 institutions, conferences and seminars around the world and his book-signings regularly attract capacity crowds.

As media continues to become fragmented, advertisers must consider audiences’ media savvy in addition to key demographic information

SAN MATEO, CA, July 21, 2009 – Integrated Media Measurement Inc. (IMMI), a leading provider of consumer behavior and audience exposure data to media companies and advertisers, today released data showing that there is a rapidly growing subset of the population who are tech savvy regardless of their age. While it is important for advertisers to know the age of their target audience when planning a campaign, the study suggests that in order to effectively reach consumers advertisers must take into consideration consumers’ affinity for using and embracing technology.

“New technologies have caused the media landscape to become more fragmented than ever before,” said Amanda Welsh, vice president and head of research for Integrated Media Measurement Inc. “Just as advertisers use factors such as age, gender and annual income to target their campaigns, they must now start giving more consideration to their audiences’ predisposition toward using new technologies to consume content.”

Reviewing the platform choice to view primetime television content during the course of six months, IMMI data shows that age predicts behavior only among a subset of the population. For a key segment, tech adopters, age does not reliably correlate with their platform choice.

Television Viewing for Primetime Programming

Platforms (used during a given month)	Millenials (Age: under 45)	Baby Boomers (Age: 45 and over)
Live TV, DVR and online	10.40%	9.00%
Live TV only	63.20%	72.70%
Live TV and DVR	4.30%	6.20%
Live TV and online	7.10%	5.40%
DVR and online	7.40%	3.60%
Online only	4.50%	2.10%
DVR only	3.10%	0.90%

10.4 percent of Millenials in the study used all three technologies (live TV, DVR and online) to watch primetime programming during the course of a month; 9 percent of Baby Boomers in the study exhibited the same behavior. This statistically insignificant difference suggests that hardcore tech adopters — those who will use all forms of content delivery technology in a given month to watch primetime television programming — don't vary their behavior as a function of age.

On the other hand, the less aggressive tech adopters — those using only one or two of the three platforms in a given month to watch primetime television programming — show a clearer and more significant difference by age. Â Millenials are more likely to use the newer platforms exclusively, with 4.5 percent watching online only, compared with 2.1 percent of Boomers. A little more than 7 percent use online and either live TV or DVR compared with 3-5 percent of Boomers.

“There are signs that the non-tech Boomers will catch up and embrace new technologies for viewing content, so marketers should time their options and not write them off,” said Welsh. “While Millenials have shifted to online access, Boomers are clearly becoming active users of both live TV and DVRs for content access.”

The study was implemented through a special research panel built by IMMI to capture Internet as well as television and radio consumption. IMMI provides panel members with a mobile phone, asking them to carry it with them wherever they go. The mobile phone is equipped with a technology that creates digital signatures of all the audio media (television, radio and movies) to which it has been exposed. IMMI can determine viewing audiences, as well as certain types of consumer behavior based on a timeline of when the media was viewed or heard.

Integrated Media Measurement Inc. (IMMI) is the developer of an end-to-end media measurement system that links media exposure to consumer action. Using a mobile-phone-based digital monitoring system, IMMI tracks almost all media 24/7 and helps businesses evaluate the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. IMMI is based in San Mateo, Calif. More information is available at http://www.immi.com.

STATEMENT OF FRANK MANCUSO, CHAIRMAN MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION FUND CORPORATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

WOODLAND HILLS, CA, July 26, 2009 – The following statement is from Frank Mancuso, Chairman of the Motion Picture & Television Fund Corporate Board of Directors:

“We are disappointed by the action taken by the SAG Board but appreciate their willingness to hear our presentation and the support we received from the 48.26 percent of its members who voted against this resolution. We also appreciate SAG National Board of Directors’ President Alan Rosenberg’s acknowledgement of our ‘significant financial and operational concerns.’

“If MPTF does not close its long term care unit, which is losing nearly $1 million each month and transfer the 84 residents who currently reside there to highly qualified community nursing homes, the fund will go bankrupt within five years and all of our operations will be forced to close. We would no longer be able to provide services to SAG members who made 23,000 visits to our health centers and social workers last year or any of the 60,000 other industry members who rely on us for care. Nor would we be able to continue providing financial assistance to the entertainment industry, including the 214 SAG members who received financial aid from the Fund in 2008.

“The Board struggled to find a solution that would ensure the future stability of the Fund while allowing us to keep the long term care facility open. Sadly, after years of exploring alternatives, we came to the inescapable conclusion that the long term care unit had to close to protect the rest of the institution. It would be a disservice to our community to force into bankruptcy this indispensable organization simply because family members of the 84 people living in the facility prefer to have them remain there. We wish they could too. And were it financially feasible, the Board would insist on having them stay. But it is not.

“MPTF is not abandoning the 84 residents who remain in the long term care facility but we cannot and will not compromise the best interests of SAG’s membership and the rest of the 60,000 people we serve every year by keeping it open. This is the correct and only decision the Board could make. The long term care facility must close.”

CHATSWORTH, Calif., July 30, 2009 – Image Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISK), a leading independent licensee and distributor of entertainment programming in North America, announced today that it had entered into a Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the holder of its 7.875% Senior Convertible Note (the "Original Note") pursuant to which the Company issued an Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Note (the "New Note") in exchange for the Original Note. The amendment serves to defer until October 30, 2009 a $4 million principal payment (the “Installment”) that the holder of the Original Note (the "Holder") could have required the Company to pay on July 30, 2009. The amendment further provides that the Installment shall be further deferred until November 30, 2009 if the Company enters into a written agreement with a bona fide purchaser, prior to October 30, 2009, that would result in a change of control of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of a default, the Original Note provided the Holder the right to demand redemption of the Original Note at a price equal to 120% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount, accrued interest and penalties, and provided for default interest at the rate of 12.0%. In addition, upon a change in control, the Original Note granted to the Holder the right to demand redemption of the Original Note at a price equal to 120% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount, accrued but unpaid interest and penalties. The New Note eliminates provisions relating to redemption premium in the event of default or a change in control in exchange for increasing the principal amount from $13,000,000 to $15,700,792.60, and increases the interest rate to 8.875%, beginning July 31, 2009. The default interest rate remains 12.0%, should any future event of default occur.

The Exchange Agreement avoids a default and allows the Company and its financial advisor, Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc., to continue the process of evaluating strategic alternatives, including potential financing or sale transactions, without the necessity of funding the Installment on July 30, 2009.

Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation, the Company's senior lender, and the Holder are parties to a Subordination Agreement which provides, among other things, that in the event of a default under the New Note, Wachovia has the right to prevent the Holder from taking certain action to enforce its rights under the New Note for up to 180 days (the "Standstill Period"). In connection with consenting to the Exchange Agreement, Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation, has agreed that the 180 day Standstill Period will be deemed to begin running on July 31, 2009.

Jeff M. Framer, President of Image, stated, “The extension is an important step in our ongoing process. While it is not possible to predict the future, the Holder's much-appreciated forbearance, as well as Wachovia’s consent to the amendment, will serve to clear a path for us to evaluate any and all strategic opportunities.”
