ATOMFILMS' INAUGURAL PRODUCTION DEAL ANNOUNCED WITH GO SICK!

Los Angeles Independent Film Festival-April 17, 2000 -- AtomFilms, the pioneer and recognized leader in next-generation entertainment, today announced an exclusive deal for The Go Sick! Revolution, an original episodic production to be financed by AtomFilms. This filmmaking partnership represents the first in a series of select co-productions and co-development deals with Atom’s filmmakers and production partners.

Go Sick! is a psychotically wild, hidden camera show involving a maniacal crew of risk-takers known as "The Go Sick! Army." Taking practical jokes to the ultimate level, Go Sick! threatens to shock unwitting victims, capture their reactions on tape, and present them online via AtomFilms.com early this summer. Go Sick! employs the latest in lipstick and eyeglass hidden cameras, and innovative filmmaking techniques. All episodes will be shot in multiple points-of-view affording audiences a unique viewing experience.

Writer/director Luke Greenfield is the creator of Go Sick! Shooting on ten episodes will begin at the end of April.

"AtomFilms is the only company who could make a show like this," says Greenfield. "They’re daring and eager to break boundaries, and believe me, Go Sick! breaks all boundaries…We’re putting the warning out now, the revolution has just begun."

Greenfield’s film projects include the comedy, "The Right Hook," which comes out this summer, and the festival-winning short, "Alive & Kicking." He is set to helm "TEDDY vs. GOD" in late July.
