Global Universal's "AMERICAN SUNSET" Presented at Louisville International Film Festival in October

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Entertainment Holdings (OTCBB: GBHL) announced today that Global Universal Film Group's presentation of "AMERICAN SUNSET", starring Corey Haim and Frank Molina, will be playing at The Louisville International Film Festival from October 6th through October 9th, 2011.

"We are so proud of the late Corey Haim's performance in this thriller," stated Jackie Giroux, the writer and one of the producers of the film.  "In the Behind the Scenes for AMERICAN SUNSET, Corey stated that he hoped he would be recognized by his peers for his performance in AMERICAN SUNSET, so we wish to thank the entire committee, including Conrad Bachmann and Brett Bachmann, for playing this film at The Louisville International Film Festival this year."  

"Veteran Actress and Entertainer Lily Tomlin will be placed in the 'Walk of Fame' at the Galt House on October 6th to open the Film Festival, so we feel honored to be a part of this prestigious film festival," commented Gary Rasmussen, CEO of Global Entertainment Holdings. "We look forward to meeting Kentucky film makers at the Louisville Film Festival, as co-star Frank Molina and Director Michael Masucci will be in attendance to answer any questions about AMERICAN SUNSET or Corey Haim." Gary Rasmussen and Eric Leffler are the Executive Producers of the Corey Haim film AMERICAN SUNSET.  

Dan Sherkow, COO of Global Universal Entertainment continued: "Members of our production team, plus Corey Haim's co-star, Frank Molina, will be in attendance at The Louisville International Film Festival, which provides grants to help fund educational efforts focused on training film makers of tomorrow in Metro Louisville and the commonwealth of Kentucky."

AMERICAN SUNSET was directed by Michael Masucci in New Brunswick, Canada, and also co-stars Bernie Robichaud of TRAILER PARK BOYS fame.  Corey Haim and Frank Molina play two unlikely characters who would have never met except through the unfortunate kidnapping of Haim's wife, played by Angela Cullins. Haim has 24 hours to find his wife, with the assistance of Molina's character.  Corey Haim was just beginning to promote the film, when he contracted pneumonia and suddenly died.  Global Universal had so many fans begging to see the film that it decided to offer a DVD of the film directly to Haim's fans through a special Global website, as no distribution plans have yet been made out of respect for Haim's untimely death.
