FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For information contact: Photography available (jpg) Karolyn Raphael Winger & Associates, Ltd. 312/494-0422 [email protected] NIGEL MARVEN TO HEADLINE AT THE NORTH AMERICAN REPTILE CONFERENCE August 28, 2006, Anaheim, CA – The stars of Snakes on a Plane have nothing on Nigel Marven! From sharks to alligators to anacondas, Nigel has proven he can hold his own in the animal kingdom! You may have seen him hosting Discovery’s Shark Week; Nigel’s Wild, Wild World or Chased by Sea Monsters. Now he’s starring in Animal Planet’s new blockbuster Prehistoric Park in the fall. The host, film-maker and author will appear at the third annual North American Reptile Conference and Trade Show on Saturday and Sunday, September 23-24 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Nigel will be available to meet fans and sign autographs and will deliver a talk on “Reptile Filming Around the World: From Dinosaurs to Komodo Dragons!” Saturday at 3 p.m. The lecture is free with the purchase of a show ticket. “We’re thrilled to have Nigel Marven as our special guest at this year’s event. Nigel is one of the most well-respected film-makers in the industry and quite a personality at that,” notes Bob Ashley, a producer of the Reptile Conference. “It’s a real honor for our conference to host such a talent and showgoers are sure to have a unique experience if they come to meet Nigel – nobody has better stories!” Ashley added. Nigel’s new show “Prehistoric Park” is already a huge hit in the U.K. and Australia and is sure to have a large following in the U.S. The program launches at the end of October on Animal Planet and will present Nigel in a new challenging setting: going back in time to rescue prehistoric animals from extinction and bringing them back to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Each episode involves a different prehistoric adventure as he heads back in time to save creatures. In the process he experiences some of Earth’s most devastating extinctions and finds out what caused them. You can find out more about Nigel at www.nigelmarven.com.

Investment Opportunity
Investment opportunity RacerRacer A love story. An obsession. Racer. A love story. An obsession Racer is a heart stopping original screenplay by Oscar nominee and Bafta winning writer Ronan Blaney. A feature film inspired by the early life of legendary motorcycle racing star, Joey Dunlop. Joey, from Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, was at the height of his sporting prowess from the dramatic and politically charged 1970s right through to his death in 2000, winning the world renowned Isle of Man TT Races a record breaking, and not yet beaten, 26 times. Our film portrays the early life of a conflicted and quiet man who remained true to himself whilst allowing his enormous skill as a racer and his track record to do the talking. Racer Ali MacPhail Note from the Producer Racer has the dual commercial power of being a thrilling sports movie and an original love story. This film will show the strength of the family bond and how extraordinarily conflicted a character can become. How can Joey leave his wife and babies at home and immerse himself in this lethal sport? Joey witnessed first his friend and then even closer to home, his brother-in-law, being killed in horrific crashes in road racing but yet still couldn’t give up the most dangerous motor sport of all. The racers ride at speeds of up to 190 miles per hour on country roads with nothing but lamp posts, trees and dry-stone dykes for natural crash barriers. At the beginning of the TT Race, the riders pass through the middle of a council estate – a bizarre setting for a world-famous race – and a detail which many people will be unaware.
