GLOBAL UNIVERSAL SUCCESSFULLY ENTERS ONLINE DVD SALES WITH POPULAR DEMAND FOR AMERICAN SUNSET

Oct. 13, 2010 Los Angeles, CA – (WORLD STOCK WIRE) – Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), and its Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures (“Global Pictures”), announces the on-line distribution of the Company’s action thriller, American Sunset, exclusively on the film’s website: www.AmericanSunsetTheMovie.com, operated by Global Universal Film Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GBHL.

Due to an overwhelming demand from moviegoers, predominantly the late Corey Haim’s loyal fan base, Global Universal has launched the Company’s DVD sales division. With the Company having experienced a number of orders far in excess of what it had anticipated, just on the first day of availability, it was necessary for the Company to outsource the production of additional copies of the film.

“As is frequently the case with mainstream Hollywood, the movie has met its fair share of resistance. Corey Haim was a much admired Child Actor and Teen Heartthrob. His extraordinary talent was well recognized by distinguished critics at a very young age, firmly planting the establishment of his persona as the adorable little boy next door.” stated Jackie Giroux, American Sunset’s Producer.

“It’s well known how unforgiving Hollywood can be to grown up child stars, but the fans emphatically embrace him still… We have received abundant correspondence demanding an opportunity to see his final contribution to the film industry and the world. In the exclusive behind the scenes footage, Corey stated “I Want Everyone to See This Movie”, and his public will now have the opportunity to enjoy his exceptional performance in American Sunset. It is in his memory, and with this resolve that we move forward, passionately, to make this production, and others still to come, a smashing success.” concluded Ms. Giroux.

The Highly Acclaimed Film, American Sunset, features Corey Haim in his final performance as an adult leading actor. “Corey brought American Sunset to life with his outstanding performance.” stated Gary Rasmussen, CEO of Global Universal Film Group. He continues: “Between the talented cast, the exceptional directing, and the spellbinding plot of this film, it leaves nothing to be desired but a need to watch it again. We expect our internet sales to reflect these factors, as the popularity of this film continues to grow.”

American Sunset unravels a mysterious conspiracy with numerous spellbinding plot twists revolving around a kidnapping ploy that robs a devoted husband of his true love, while playing a game that prolongs her safety by correctly responding to the kidnapper’s riddles. One wrong answer means fatal consequences. As the pursuit to save his wife plunges Haim’s character deeper into a corrupt world, the greedy, deceptive and immoral motives become increasingly obvious; this is not just a random kidnapping for money, this is deadly personal.

The Movie, American Sunset, is NOW AVAILABLE in DVD and Blu-ray for distribution worldwide on the film’s Official website: www.AmericanSunsetTheMovie.com. Please visit the site and view the trailer.

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Los Angeles, CA(WORLD STOCK WIRE) – July 06, 2010 –  Global Entertainment Holdings, Inc. a publicly traded entertainment Company (OTCBB: GBHL), and its Canadian affiliate, Global Universal Pictures (“Global Pictures”), announced that it recently signed a Canadian broadcast deal that will allow Canwest Television Limited Partnership (“Canwest”, successor in interest to Canwest Media, Inc.) to broadcast American Sunset exclusively in Canada. The sale was arranged through Kaleidoscope Entertainment, Inc., based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as the Canadian distributor for American Sunset.

GBHL CEO, Gary Rasmussen said “We are pleased to announce this broadcast arrangement with Canwest as it marks the first firm commitment for the film.  American Sunset had an exclusive screening at the Palais during the Cannes International Film Festival this past May and had audiences on the edge of their seats as they experienced the plot twists and turns of this exciting thriller! This prestigious exposure resulted in many potential sales opportunities worldwide for American Sunset, which our sales subsidiary Global Universal Film Group is actively following up on.”  Mr. Rasmussen also stated “making the cover of the Cannes Market News on May 16 during the height of the Cannes festival garnished considerable international attention for American Sunset.  Since this film is a product of Canada, and the late Corey Haim’s birthplace, it is truly fitting that we commence our subsequent sales efforts with a country wide broadcast for all Canadians to see.”

American Sunset starring the late Corey Haim and Frank Molina was directed by Michael Masucci and was also featured at the Canadian Pavilion at this year’s Cannes International Film Festival.  Eric A. Leffler, executive producer, commented, “This was Corey Haim’s last film and we’re all delighted that his abilities as an adult lead actor were finally recognized during the exclusive screening of American Sunset at the Cannes festival. Audiences in France identified with Corey’s character and the harrowing experiences his character underwent, all skillfully portrayed by Corey as a matured actor.  Hopefully soon, audiences worldwide will have the opportunity to enjoy his work and appreciate his special talent.”

During the Cannes International Film Festival, producer Jackelyn Giroux commented, “Myself, as well as the entire cast and crew, were deeply saddened by his untimely passing. Corey dubbed himself the ‘Comeback Kid’.  Although he is gone, we are pleased that Canadians will have the first opportunity to enjoy Corey’s comeback efforts and see his great performance in this exciting film.”… READ MORE
