Note:
In our quest to bring you early-stage companies that have a viable
business-model, we at Stockupticks were intrigued to hear
that a respected member of the entertainment community had launched
a new concept in motion picture and television production studios.
Do you remember when MGM and Universal were start-up ventures?
Yeah, I don't either. But you can bet that the investors
that funded their early success made a significant return on their
investment.
AmeriDreamEntertainment has a proven management team with
the Hollywood pedigree necessary to be successful -- and they
have the track record and focused direction to back it up.
AmeriDream's Chairman and CEO is Lang Elliott, founder
of Tri-Star, and a respected Hollywood producer
for over 30 years. AMDR has an outstanding catalog of video
entertainment and an impressive production schedule for current
and future projects.
One of the central reasons we like this company is that it is
focused on family-friendly productions. Recent blockbuster hits
like Lord of the Rings, Spy Kids II and Return to Neverland have
sent motion picture companies, TV networks, and cable broadcasters
scrambling for material that is appealing to both children and
adults. AmeriDreamEntertainment owns numerous entertainment
properties that literally fill the bill for 'E For Everyone' entertainment.
AMDR also knows the meaning of show-BUSINESS. The company
provides an economical, lower-cost option for Hollywood-quality
production, because it has set up operations away from central
Los Angeles, near Palm Springs, California. AMDR management
understands the importance of diversification in entertainment
channels. Following in the path of Disney and Universal,
the company has already begun collateral projects such as a theme-park
design and monorail transportation services.
For an interesting look at
a publicly traded company that has an established niche, solid
same-industry management experience, a growing catalog and a vision
for production and investment-growth, please read on ...
AmeriDream has built a catalog
that distinguishes it from its competitors.
In the entertainment industry,
AmeriDream is known as a highly respected source of
family entertainment on video, cable and television
and at the movie house.

CURRENT
PRODUCTIONS *** |

AmeriDream has numerous proprietary projects underway and in
various stages of development. The company is currently
in pre-production on a major motion picture titled “DORF: U.S.M.C.”
Tim Conway has contracted to star in his ongoing role as Dorf
in this full length motion picture.
AmeriDream is also currently developing ...
A reality-based television
series, with the working title “Pursuit”,
targeted for the large viewing audience currently involved with
this popular series format.
"The Power of Who Do",
a family-oriented live-action adventure film. The
main character is eight year old Meghan Fitzgerald. The
film follows her adventures when toy
action figures come to life to save Meghan from the
evil sorcerer Wizz Bane.
"Stinkin' Badges",
a live action comedy where a group
of kids run afoul of the law and are given two choices:
go to jail or join the Los Angeles Junior
Police Academy.

THE
CATALOG *** |
 |
A look at the the following excerpt from a recent news release
clearly demonstrates AmeriDream's strategy to increase its catalog
with properties that are family-oriented and possess a long "Shelf
Life" to generate revenues.

AmeriDreamEntertainment, Inc.'s
Wholly Owned Subsidiary, AmeriDreamInternationalDistribution,
Inc.
Acquires Autograph Celebrity Interview Series
Library of 44 Episodes of Autograph
Series
in a Half Hour Format of Interviews
With Celebrities
Will Air in Cable and Television Markets
BERMUDA DUNES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)- August 13, 2002--
AmeriDreamEntertainment, Inc. (NASDAQBB: AMDR), a Coachella
Valley-based major motion picture, television production and distribution
company, today announced that it has acquired the "Autograph"
series, a library of 44 episodes of half hour format interviews
with celebrities including Janet Leigh, Robert Duvall, Tom Cruise,
Russell Crowe, Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley, Tim Conway, Connie
Stevens, Martin Landeau, Marsha Mason, Michelle Phillips, Michael
J. Fox, Tom Selleck, Henry Winkler and others. Autograph is hosted
by the talented Agata Gotova and produced by Signature Films.
"We are very pleased about this particular acquisition as it
demonstrates our commitment to bring interesting programming into
the AmeriDream family of entertainment," said Raylan (Ray) Jensen,
president of AmeriDreamInternationalDistribution, Inc. "Currently
we have 22 completed productions and in the next several months
we will take delivery of another 22 shows ready for distribution."
AmeriDreamEntertainment, Inc.,
has concluded its negotiations with Grizzly
Adams Productions, Inc., in acquiring their film library
of approximately 465 titles. Most all of the film and television
productions have been produced and exhibited over network broadcasting.
AmeriDream has structured an overall marketing plan to distribute
and sell these titles to networks, station groups, cable networks,
in television syndication, and in video and DVD markets worldwide.
Grizzly Adams Productions, Inc., also has several fully developed
network series, which AmeriDream will assist in producing and
distributing. This added product will continue to make AmeriDream's
library increase in value each year and it launches AmeriDream
into the network television series production business, working
hand in hand with its feature film division.
Among AmeriDream's
past projects is “Dorf
on Golf,” rated #1 in Video rentals and
sales for 101 weeks as reported by Box Office Magazine. This
video-pioneered a new venue for comedy production in the
‘made-for’ home video industry.

DISTRIBUTION
*** |
 |
As the old axiom goes, 'it doesn't matter if it isn't seen.'
In no other industry are revenues more keyed to distribution.
The entertainment trades will always announce how many theaters
a movie opened in as an introduction to the films' success or
demise. The same goes for video outlets.
The experienced management at AmeriDreams knows this fact all
too well. AmeriDream has an established
supply chain and is in position to funnel its products
to market as they are developed.
AmeriDream intends to acquire properties produced by other independent
producers and offer an alternative to traditional distribution.

THEME
BRANDING *** |
 |
AmeriDream markets its products to families and its 'across-the-board'
target audience has come to expect high quality products at a
reasonable price and delivered in a regular and timely fashion.
With this strength of consumer interest as its backbone, AmeriDream
has looked down the road at the bigger picture and is developing
a strategy of product diversification to balance its approach
to producing a healthy balance sheet.
A
New $200 Million Studio Complex is
in the planning stages right now. The appeal of lowering production
costs of movies and videos and giving regional residents a family-orientated
destination for recreation and vacation is part of the theme-branding
strategy at AmeriDream. Taking advantage of the lower cost of
real estate in the Palm Springs, California area in comparison
with high cost of real estate in Los Angeles county, AmeriDream
is now in the planning stages of a state of the art major
motion picture and television production studio and theme park
in Coachella Valley, California.
Here are some ideas currently on the
drawing board ...
This project has the support of local
government
and is estimated to fill a vital need
in an already popular resort region
that has virtually no family entertainment
facilities.
"We are looking forward to blazing
a trail in the independent film production business
by developing our own fully functional
studio."
Lang Elliott, Chief Executive Officer.
