The market potential for their family and faith based films is proven. I look forward to being a part of this expansion as Champion scales it resources to increase its profit and presence in the marketplace endeavor and eager to help. The firm has a rich history of creating, producing and distributing quality product for 19 years, my goal is to provide a conduit to the public to be a part of this entertainment firm as it grows."

His background will blend well with the studio and operational experience of the existing management team. Patrick understands the Company's desires to bring family and faith based films back to an audience hungry for such entertainment that they can experience with the entire family. I believe Patrick's experience in corporate finance will make a major contribution in achieving the financing that Champion will need in producing its current upcoming slate of films as well as the future. We are very pleased to have him join our senior management team during this exciting period of growth in the company's history."
