PRESS RELEASE

[November, 2006]

SPARC Pictures has partnered with Jersey-based multimedia production firm The MoonStar Film Odyssey to produce the epic SPARC WARS, which will premiere in Winter 2007.

SPARC WARS is an exciting fantasy/action-thriller that takes place in a small, idyllic Westchester, N.Y. town and concerns the eternal battle between Good and Evil. The exact plot is being kept under wraps by the producers so as not to give away too many details about the exciting plotline. No sense of it getting out onto the Internet before its time!

The movie will mark the first time the 2 entities have worked together on a production shoot—which falls under the jurisdiction of the SPARC, Inc.’s Tuesday night program, Stage Crew & Videography. But this time, things will be different.

According to SPARC Pictures’ Christopher Schulze (the movie’s co-producer & acting coach):

SPARC WARS is a totally new approach to our video program. With the welcome addition of
Youssef Kdiry and his production firm, we are looking to do something that’ll knock the socks off of
our students and their respective families.

Youssef Kdiry, President of The MoonStar Film Odyssey (and the movie’s co-producer, director, cinematographer & editor), added this:

I am in total agreement with Chris. It is my belief that SPARC WARS will set a new bar of
achievement in the SPARC program. We’re aiming for solid production values, gorgeous, widescreen-
lensing, slick editing, cool SFX and terrific acting by the students—all of which should give SPARC
WARS the epic feel that it so richly deserves.”

With production gearing up in the next few weeks, casting and acting rehearsals have already begun. According the producers, the goal is to spend most of December shooting principal photography and 2nd-unit work.

This should leave the month of January for post production work (editing, greenscreen compositing, scoring, etc.) to be done at The MoonStar Film Odyssey’s New Jersey-based studio. The premiere target date is January 30, 2007.

The SPARC WARS teaser has already been created and is available for online viewing at the following website address: www.moonstarfilmodyssey.com/sparcwarsteaser.html.

This teaser will also be available on the subsequent DVD that will feature the SPARC WARS movie and (tentatively) a behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of the motion picture.

Look for this exciting epic in a SPARC program near you in Winter 2007!

SPARC WARS is a co-production between SPARC Pictures, The MoonStar Film Odyssey and Tuesday Night Productions.
