MELPOMENE PICTURESAn Overview

MELPOMENE PICTURES seeks to create films that are not only financially viable with a high potential for profit, but also push the boundaries of storytelling technique and filmmaking technology. We aren't content to churn out cookie cutter formula films like our competitors. We truly love filmmaking and have the burning desire to make content that will both enlighten and entertain, content that will be able to reach a mass audience without catering to the lowest common denominator. Bringing the innovation of low-budget independent filmmaking into a larger and more well funded structure can push the envelope of what's capable in film while keeping costs low and driving profits higher. In addition, we want to create a breeding ground for the next generation of filmmakers. The film industry is notoriously difficult to break into and there are incredibly talented people in all aspects of the process, from writing to directing, from acting to props and makeup, that are fighting to find their way in. We will scout that talent and develop it. We want to find the next Speilburg, Scorcese, and Tarantino. We want to cast the next Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johannsen, and Johnny Depp. We want to give these artists and craftsmen the environment they need to flourish in. We can create a virtual Villa Diodati where an entire generation of filmmakers can learn and grow, making their dreams come true while giving something back to an industry we love and creating wildly entertaining films and profitable films in the process. We have been involved in a slew of low-budget films. All have been crowd pleasers, cult favorites, and multiple award winners. GEORGE'S INTERVENTION, for instance, has won first prize at film festivals domestically as well as in the UK and Germany and has garnered a massive fan base. THE CELLAR DOOR was so popular that on the day of it's release it became the most downloaded film on the internet, surpassing big-budget studio films like THE BUCKET LIST released the same day.

However, with all of our success, talent, and hard work, we are still playing in the minor leagues. It is very difficult for a film shot for under 250k to become a massive hit for one reason: star power. Name actors drive the budget of a film up in several ways: their personal fee, which can be exorbitant, as well as forcing the film to become a signatory of the Screen Actor's Guild and providing the "perks" the Guild requires (trailers, hot meals, etc). However, having name actors in your film guarantees sales, especially to foreign markets. Actors as diverse in scope from Cuba Gooding, Jr to Jean Claude Van Damme routinely earn their films as much as 500% profit from name recognition alone. This is the ceiling that we have currently hit. As we grow and excel as filmmakers and storytellers, we still do not have the funding to make a film with name actors. Were we able to break through that and into a budget range that allowed us to cast internationally recognizable stars, then we could build on our growing fan base and break into markets that have so far been closed off to us. In doing so, we would create products with the potential of massive success both critically and financially.

BUSINESS PLAN FOR PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTIONCompany Goals We are in business to produce and sell feature films based on specific budgets ranging from $500,000.00 to $10,000,000.00 (U.S) in order to minimize downside risk and maximize cost-to-profit ratios. Our strategy is to capitalize on profitable ancillary markets such as DVD, TV, Cable, satellite, internet, VOD (video on demand) and Video Streaming (internet, cell phones, etc) where distribution avenues are virtually unlimited in addition to traditional theatrical release. We intend to utilize this well oiled machine as a platform to develop and create festival quality films with break out potential.

4

STRATEGIC PLAN OUTLINEDemonstrate with real examples how budgets below $10,000,000 generate cost-to-revenue multipliers often hundreds of times beyond big budgeted studio pictures. Detail how typically the majority of revenues are seen within 16 to 24 months. Choose genres with broad appeal to virtually every country and culture. Avoid competing with major studio strongholds while selling directly to worldwide DVD, Cable, etc. Utilize this scenario as a platform to create festival quality and break-out films within the same budget range.

THE INDUSTRY AT A GLANCEThe film industry investment is not necessarily one that requires huge sums of capital to be profitable. This is why we have specifically chosen to concentrate on lower budget genre films. There are of course many genres, including romantic comedies, thrillers, dramas, sci-fi and action-adventures. While a mystery to some, the film business is essentially a manufacturing business that relies on supply and demand. Small budgeted genre movies, even with unknown actors and very little marketing promotions, generate some of the healthiest revenues of any films in the U.S. and abroad. Quality movies produced on budgets below the $10,000,000 mark have a very good potential of generating large revenues within 16 to 24 months regardless of whether they break out or not. Yet, genre feature films still share the potential of a big budgeted picture to indeed break-out, making millions in profit. At this level of budget it is not as hard to recoup the investment since there are numerous opportunities today to sell directly to consumers. There are very few legal investments that can experience such5

phenomenal, immediate, and record setting revenues as the low budget film. Consider PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, a movie shot entirely on a home video camera with a reported shooting budget of $15,000 and a return of over 6,000 times its investment just in the U.S alone. This is an extreme example of a break-out film and should not be considered the norm; however it makes a clear statement of the power of its genre and, in this case, the power of the internet and word of mouth. There is an undeniable worldwide psychological appeal to the hard genres, like horror and action. They appeal to the most primal emotions no matter what the country or culture. Audiences seek them out for the same reason they like to strap themselves into a roller coaster and plunge 10 stories in a matter of seconds. It is actually the territories outside the U.S. that make up the majority of a films revenue. Foreign countries buy large amounts of genre movies because there are far fewer cultural norms to be translated. This makes it more attractive to foreign buyers and easier for the audience to follow the story without having to read subtitles. The explosion of the accelerating DVD and internet marketplaces helps ensure the greatest profits with the lowest risk ever, even compared to the boom of the home video VHS and Betamax market in the 1980s. With this growth comes a hunger for new genre release titles.

COST-TO-REVENUE RESULTSIt is important to premise all the following statistics by stating that the production budgets that are reported in the media are seldom correct. Perceived value is what allows producers to make money on movies and thus producers project an image of value rather than revealing actual expenses. A case in point is the movie CABIN FEVER, released in the U.S. in the fall of 2003. According to Moviemaker Magazine, Aug. 2003, the filmmaker originally reported that his film was made for about $1 million. It sold for $3.5 million for U.S. theatrical rights. The film grossed $21.2 million in the U.S. After it sold, the filmmaker reported that it was produced for much less than a million. A popular estimate is that the film was produced for under $300,000. Its all about perceived value.

The list below however points out that major studio pictures with much higher budgets earn far less revenues for the investor. Note that the

revenues are even lower considering that these are worldwide cost-toearnings ratios instead of the U.S earnings as in the chart above. MOVIE TITLE Titanic Pirates of the Caribbean Spiderman Harry Potter: Sorcerers Stone LOTR: Return of the KingPro

Why do studios produce large budget movies if they earn less compared to the cost of the investment? Simple; they operate under the knowledge that through proper marketing they can create enough excitement to generate a foreseeable and acceptable margin of revenue regardless of how good the picture really is. On the other hand, studios have an image to maintain. They do not want to produce anything that is not prestigious. It would be the same as Jaguar Automotive producing mopeds.

DISTRIBUTIONThe Buyers Most movies have hundreds and hundreds of buyers/distributors they can sell to at the same time. There are over 144 countries and numerous territories within these countries that license new movies every year. They include DVD rental stores, retailers, Internet streaming, satellite TV, closed-circuit TV, pay-per-view, cable TV, closed-circuit in-room hotel TV, and VOD to name a few. The downside risk is protected by the fact that there are so many markets to sell to in so many different countries. Sales figures can range as high $1,000,000 or as low as $3,000 for each country outside the U.S buying a single low budget movie without star attachments. With star attachments, these sales can reach as much as $5,000,000 for a non-studio backed film.

INCOME PROJECTIONSDirect to Consumer Sales: Internet DVD Sales The explosion of internet outlets for DVD sales in the last five years have made the market even more viable than most brick and mortar outlets. With sites like Amazon.com, genre films have returned their investment through internet sales alone. Amazon also offers unique ways to market films to consumers with its Customers Who Purchased This Also Bought tags and banners. Direct to Consumer Sales: Pay-Per- View Internet The Internet is now fast enough to stream movies full screen right to home computers and newer model televisions. According to a recent finding by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 19.6% of US users enjoy a high-speed connection. That is a potential audience of over 112,362,568 people. As a sampling of other countries, over 30% of consumers in Denmark have a broadband connection. There are several major contenders competing to stream feature films. They include Netflix, Blockbuster Online, Hulu, and several overseas companies. Technologies such as the I-Phone and the I-Pad are allowing more and more people to stream video to them anywhere at anytime and are preparing this aspect of the market for a new explosion of revenue. Each of these companies pay the filmmaker by different methods. Most of them share the profits through pay-per-view or through premium sales. Films on average can generate six figures through streaming alone over the course of a year. Direct to Consumer Sales: Pay-Per- View On-Demand TV According to Forrester Magazine, U.S. video On-Demand jumped from $1.54 billion in 2003 to $2.89 billion a year for 2004 and climbed to 6.39 billion by 2006. According to Jupiter Research Corporation, first run movies on U.S. OnDemand TV reached $280 million in 2006. Nielson ratings did not at that time include DVR viewings in their ratings.

ITV Marketer, an aggregator of interactive TV research statistics, found that the total number of digital subscribers in the U.S. exceeded 33.7 million households by the end of 2003 alone. Current subscription status in the US is 62.8 million. Further they state that at the end of the first quarter there were 10.5 million digital cable subscribers and 15.5 million digital broadcast satellite (DBS) subscribers. The combined run rate of programming for the top cable and satellite companies was close to 200,000 per week. Video Store Chains: A Small Snapshot of a Larger Picture According to the U.S. Bureau of Census, there are over 22,000 establishments in the U.S. alone dedicated to renting and selling home video. This does not include drug and department stores. Blockbuster Video now has over 9,000 stores in 25 countries, even after their recent closings, and accounts for about 40% percent of the home video rental market according to Ernest and Young. Hollywood Video, the next largest chain, has close to 2,000 stores even with their recent closings. Typically, every 5 months a video store such as Blockbuster moves the titles in their new section to the genre section and replaces them with new titles. There are about 100 lower budget indie genre films on the shelves in their new section at any given time. It is important to note that larger chains license multiple copies of each title per store. It is not unusual for them to buy 3 or 4 copies of even the smallest nonstudio titles. The average license fee paid by larger DVD chains ranges from $4.00 to $15.00 per title with an average per title purchase of 5,000 units. We have listed several of our buyers and the rates they currently pay for indie titles: Buyer Unit Purchase Blockbuster Video Hollywood Video Movie Gallery Netflix Current Per Unit Rate $6.85 per unit $5.00 per unit $5.00 per unit $10.97 per unit Average

THE LARGER PICTUREWorldwide Ancillary Markets Most of a movies revenues are not generated at the U.S. box office where most people assume. Markets outside the U.S. account for about 56% of all media global revenues produced by English language independent producers. The biggest buyers are Japan, Germany, Austria, the U.K, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Mexico, Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Latin America and China are also emerging as large buyers and estimates could have these areas becoming a more significant portion of the market, especially with streaming video, very soon. According to Video Software Dealers Association, Japan, the first country to adopt DVD technology, spends an impressive $187.7 million renting DVDs per year.

DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER SALESSelling from Magazine Advertisements As well as traditional marketing means, we are also pushing films to various genre niche markets. These niche markets open the door to different and additional sales opportunities that do not generally exist for mainstream movies. Throughout the U.S. and the world, newsstands generally carry about 7 to 10 magazine titles devoted to horror films alone. Not only are these niche markets additional areas to advertise, but we will also benefit from free publicity with the multipage articles they write on lower budget films. The magazines include among others: Fangoria Rue Morgue National Lampoon Horror Fan Sci Fi Magazine Cinescape Famous Monsters

ADDED PROFIT POTENTIAL

Longevity of Product Profits of a movie can be generated for a substantial period of time.

11

The Hollywood Reporter noted that, of 253 low budget independently produced B-pictures, their 10 year gross revenues generated about $9 million for each film. According to Investors Business Daily, Paul Kagan Associates, who are considered the best source of accurate media research by the major studios, found that by the turn of the millennium domestic home video revenues reached 185% of the domestic theatrical market. It has now far exceeded that projection. Achieving Cult Film Status One of the outstanding attributes of genre films is the potential for a product to achieve cult status, which is something different from being a break-out picture. A cult movie is a film that takes on an extended life of its own because of intense interest by niche audiences. The normal shelf life of a low budget film is about 5 years. However, the cult film is one that achieves a shelf life sometimes beyond 20 years. Films such as BLAZING SADDLES, SWINGERS and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD have earned this extra revenue-generating status. Cult films have virtually all come from the freedom of producing lower budget films outside the constraints of the major studio mentality. However, studios seeing that they have sustained audiences will often pay handsomely for remake rights. Overnight Stars One of the other factors unique to investments in the entertainment industry is that unknown actors can and do get cast in other movies that take off and thus they become overnight sensations. All of a sudden, a film of unknown actors now has a star that can rocket sales from curious audiences wanting to see what that celebrity has done in the past. In the 1980s, there was a film produced titled TEEN WOLF featuring an unknown actor in the lead. The small distributor decided to delay the releasing of the film because of the success they anticipated of another film that was going to be released by a major studio featuring the same lead actor. Sure enough, their gamble was correct. Their lead actor was then unknown Michael J. Fox starring in BACK TO THE FUTURE. Realizing this, our concentration will also be to engage actors that we believe have the best chances of being future celebrities. This is what will separate us from the rest of low budget producers, who generally do not take this into account.12

Current Stars While utilizing the above, we will also take into account established actors and the power they have to push sales. This is only feasible on the higher end of most of our productions as the cost for bringing on name actors does raise the budget of a film, but this is worthwhile. Established actors come with built in audiences and lend the film prestige in the public's eye, especially when marketed against films without such stars. There are also actors that have become particularly valuable to foreign distributors even after their star has waned in the US. Steven Segal, for instance, generates mild revenues domestically but still draws in tens of millions of dollars abroad. The Power of the Internet There is no question that the Internet has greatly assisted sales of products to the tune of billions of dollars. Not only do we now have the ability to sell directly to consumers, but we also have the advantage of genre fans constructing their own web sites in tribute to the products they love. This is free advertising and publicity for us.

THE PRODUCTION PHASEScripts We have a number of excellent scripts that are perfectly suited to be produced within our budget requirements. They each have excellent characters, structure, and a good amount of thrills necessary to stand out in the marketplace. There is an ample supply of new scripts generally available to producers every year should our need reach beyond the in-house scripts already completed.

Quality of the Movies We Will Produce It is our goal to produce and release movies that are superior in every category to those competing at our same budget level in the same genres. We care about the quality of the films beyond the assemblyline mentality of our competitors. We have established a set of guidelines that will ensure we produce a top quality product in respect to the market. Those behind the cameras are highly trained technicians and craftsmen, many of whom have worked on some of the biggest and13

best films coming out of Hollywood. Some of them are trying to jump to the next higher position.

MARKETING & PUBLICITYMarketing Artwork A critical factor in the successful marketing of our finished movie will be creating memorable movie poster key art. Our graphic designers are thoroughly experienced in this area. Cross Promotions We will be including movie trailers at the beginning of our films as commercial advertisements for our other films. Through this practice we will build audience recognition and maximize public exposure. Film Festivals Getting a buzz going about a movie can also be achieved by entering movies in film festivals. This buzz can create a bidding war among distribution attendees. While film festivals are not necessary for our distribution to succeed, they are an added advantage when it comes to free publicity and can have the effect of greatly increasing our distribution and revenues. The festivals and markets include among others: Sundance Film Festival Slamdance Film Festival Cannes Festival and Market South by Southwest Film Festival American Film Market Berlin Film Market Milan Film Market Theatrical Exhibition While it is not our goal to produce solely for theatrical release, there are sometimes great benefits in renting a theater and driving in audiences for a few weekends. This is usually known as 4-Walling. Through multiple phone calls and legwork, resourceful filmmakers like us routinely fill theaters with family, friends and associates to help14

create a buzz. If this can be done a few times over a weekend or two, it can attract a distribution offer without ever approaching a distributor. Distribution companies keep track of all box office sales numbers regardless of whose picture it is and who put it on the screen. If one picture does well on a small screen somewhere, the distribution company makes an assumption, a projection that the same film will do well on a larger number of screens and thus picks it up. This strategy worked very well for first time producer Hecktor Barron making a little film called LLOYD 1998. He selected a few theaters in San Jose and began showing the film. Sure enough, one of the studios recognized that there was an audience for the movie, bought it and turned around selling it to HBO who ran it on and off for 3 years. SWINGERS, an independently produced film by Jon Favreau, utilized this same strategy. The end result was to sell the film (made for an estimated $300,000) to Miramax for several million dollars. It launched the careers of star Vince Vaughn and writer Jon Favreau, who has recently directed the two IRON MAN films. Its director, Doug Liman, has gone on to direct such films as THE BOURNE IDENTITY. This is often a common practice of the studios with their own small pictures. Fearful of taking a risk on spending millions for advertising, they will platform a picture in one or two theaters in a given city. If it is good, audiences recommend it to their friends and thus word-ofmouth self perpetuates an increasing audience. Local newspaper, radio and movie critics often also comment, helping to create free advertising. This is similar to the marketing buzz generated by PARANORMAL ACTIVITY by opening in a handful of cities only and thus creating a demand for a wider release. With our company, there will be a number of determining factors as to whether to attempt this with any of our slated films. Will it be commercial enough? Often big budgeted movies with major stars never get a theatrical release, because somehow they may not feel like something meant for the big screen, yet on the small screen they will do fine. There is also an undeniable psychological value claiming a movie has had a theatrical release, and 4-Walling qualifies as a release. As such, it raises the perceived value of the picture.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

15

Once complete funding is established and secured, we will initiate the following steps: Company set up (legal, secure office space, supplies, etc) 4 to 6 weeks Polish literary properties (scripts for slate) 6 to 8 weeks Pre-production on first project 4 to 6 weeks Production 3 weeks Post-production 6 to 8 weeks Marketing and sales, primary source revenue generation 8 weeks(Approx )*

* This process begins immediately upon locking the film and creatingsolicitation screeners. It is during this time we begin to receive Purchase Orders from the various buyers.

STRATEGY AND LONG TERM GOALOur strategy is divided into two stages: Stage 1 The Foundation (years 1 - 3) and Stage 2 Power Player (years 4 - 5). It is an aggressive approach that will be tamed throughout the process. Investments can be made in two ways. Either individual film can be invested in (each film with its own LLC) as based on that film's budget level, or the company as a whole can be invested in. INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS Investments can be made on a per film basis. We have shown how the potential revenue streams for a single film can be quite large. As in any industry, a single film carries a larger risk than investing in the company as a whole. However, some films in our slate can be produced for as little as $500,000, thus providing the potential of a large return for smaller investments. These budgetary requirements vary from project to project. MELPOMENE PICTURES Our plan for the company is as follows:

16

STAGE 1 Year 1 With a seed investment of $3 million, we lay the foundation and build the engine that will drive our business. We will enter the marketplace producing quality and marketable content. In the first year we will develop and produce 2-3 films ranging from the $500,000.00 to $1,000,000.00 range to maximize profitability. By the end of the first year, our sales associates will begin soliciting two of the titles, which will have been completed in their entirety. Year 2 By the beginning of year two, the revenue stream will begin. Once this process begins and we have established ourselves as a serious player in the market, the engine will continue to turn without much effort. This basic formula will keep the company in constant production with an endless domestic DVD revenue stream while at the same creating a library of films for foreign markets. Once we enter Year 2, the machine will be in full operation and we will have produced as many as six films. Three of these will already be generating a revenue stream, the fourth will be in the solicitation process with an additional two in some form of production by the end of year two. Year 3 Upon entering Year 3, we will begin to acquire, develop, and produce a minimum of two scripts with what we call break-out potential. These projects will be directed toward film festival markets and theatrical releases. The budgets will range from $1,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00. These films will fall into a similar pattern as far as production value; however, the intention is to focus these projects for festivals such as Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, etc. with the hope of a distribution purchase and/or limited theatrical release and is the beginning of Stage 2. STAGE 2 It is at this stage that we will establish the company as a serious player in the industry all the while generating constant revenue from our genre format. The advantage to this is that we are able to keep costs low, so in the event a distribution deal is not secured we are able to utilize our direct to video outlets as a means of recouping expenses. Year 4 Providing revenue streams are strong, and Investor relations even

17

stronger, acquisitions is the next logical step. Direct to Video distributors usually receive 35% but can command as much as 50% after expenses when acquiring a film. This may seem high; however, there are literally thousands of individuals and production companies producing films. Many of these producers have no outlet for distribution. We will be able to provide this outlet. By attending the countless festivals and conventions and various markets such as AFM and Milan, it is possible to acquire quality genre films at low or no out of pocket cost to us. This is an excellent way to generate revenue by acting solely as a middleman and will eventually evolve into its own department. This outlet will provide an additional revenue stream for the company with minimal expense, potentially increasing our direct to video output from five to as many as eight films per year since we will not be limited to selling our own content. By Year 4 we will have a solid library and stronger business relations with wholesale buyers, having established ourselves as a leading distribution entity in the direct to video market. We will have the ability to sell in great quantity, lowering per unit cost while simultaneously increasing profits through the sheer number of units and titles sold. This distribution format has the potential to increase the revenue stream enormously. Year 5 Going into the fifth year, Melpomene Pictures will have made a name for itself and made its presence known on the international market, developing a reputation for producing quality films that turn a profit. This increased capital developed in Year 4 will allow Melpomene Pictures to Power Play into the mainstream theatrical release world. Although it is not our intention to finance risky, over priced projects, it is our goal to develop and produce content with this same potential on a smaller level combined with the possibility of securing mainstream development deals.

A QUICK RECAPWith an initial start-up of $3 million and a 5 Year outlined plan, we will accomplish the following:

18

Establish initial production entity, producing three to five lower budget pictures per year. Establish a constant revenue stream through both current and untapped DVD sales outlets, both domestic and foreign. Develop and produce two break-out festival driven films per year. Acquire additional films, therefore increasing our cash flow and building a substantial library. Our overall goal is comprised of a solid, long term, well-developed plan.

DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUES & EQUITY1.All deposited funds (cash investments) will be repaid first until 105% is met. 2.All future profits will be paid out on a quarterly basis for the first two years of the first revenues generated and thereafter on a yearly basis. The details of the Business Operating Agreement are open for discussion.
