IRVINE, Calif., June 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "According to recent surveys, mass media is giving way to one of personal and participatory media," said SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "A recent report in The Economist states that this shift toward greater direct involvement by media audiences -including creation of media it manages- presupposes an 'always on, always connected' society, already exemplified by the most active, mostly teenage media consumers. It is expected that this new age of media consumer/participants will profoundly change both the media industry and society as a whole."
"Successful media producers and creators will have to be fleet-of-foot to stay ahead of this savvy, youthful hoard of born-experts in media consumption," said Clark. "This MySpace generation of devoted bloggers, Podcasters and instant-messaging addicts has become the proverbial monster that must be fed. This places modern media companies like Peace Arch Entertainment Group (AMEX:PAE) in the middle of a feeding frenzy the likes of which has rarely been seen."
Peace Arch Entertainment produces and acquires feature film and television programs for distribution to worldwide markets. Its Peace Arch Films division markets and licenses theatrical films oriented towards the major international film festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Toronto. The company's Archetype Film label focuses on projects in the horror, thriller and action genres. Peace Arch Television licenses its own long-form and episodic productions as well as third-party projects to Canadian and international broadcasters, cable and satellite companies. Supplementing Peace Arch's current productions, they recently agreed to acquire more than 500 classic, contemporary and genre films from Castle Hill Productions and Dream LLC.
