Press Release Author = Morgan Films Entertainment

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = A new Television/Internet Series drama is scheduled to begin
filming June 8, 2007. The series is a television style drama (NOT REALITY) focusing
on 5 teens, their families, and life experiences.

Press Release Body = For the millions of television viewers, reality television is
growing old. As evidenced with the downturn in ratings seen by FOX\'s \"American
Idol\" and ABC\'s \"Dancing with the Stars,\" reality television is on it\'s way
out...finally. But when they are gone, what will we have to talk about in the
breakroom at work?

For the fans of good old fashioned prime time television Morgan Films Entertainment,
LLC is announcing their forthcoming \"television style\" internet drama series,
\"PALMETTO.\" As evidenced by the explosion of YouTube, Google Videos, and
MySpace.com watching videos on your home computer is not as difficult as it once
was. In the world of streaming video, high speed internet, and social networking
sites, internet users such as \"lonelygirl15\" quickly gained steady viewership of her
online diaries.

\"We\'re not restricted to the four basic television networks anymore,\" commented
Christopher K. Morgan, Creator and Executive Producer of \"PALMETTO.\" With the
networks slashing budgets, canceling television shows, and the constant pressures of
\"sweeps week\" it has become increasingly difficult to approach and get the attention
of the corporate networks. Morgan continues, \"With the popularity of internet video
sites, launching a television style internet drama over the internet could result in
a wider and more diverse audience than over the public airwaves.\"

Many ask, \"What is \'PALMETTO\' and how are you going to get people to watch?\" As
Morgan explained to his production team, \"\'PALMETTO\' is about real people with real
lives.\" Most non-reality television dramas focus on detectives, doctors, rich
housewives, or worse yet spoiled rich kids. \"PALMETTO\" is loosely based on five
teenagers, thier families, their triumphs, and their problems. Most teens, adults,
and even grandparents will have a chance to identify at some point with the ongoing
storyline.

When pushed on the subject of viewership, Morgan stated, \"Well, hopefully word of
mouth will be the number one way we get viewers, but just in case we\'ve established
and already started implementing strong, methodical marketing plan.\" That marketing
plan includes a profile on MySpace (www.myspace.com/palmettothetvseries) where fans
have already started visiting and getting updates on the show\'s progress. Speaking
of the show\'s popularity, Morgan said, \"We just feel really good about how great a
reception the internet community has already given us, and we haven\'t even launched
the series yet! But its not just the internet community, I\'ve already heard people
around town talking about it\"

Principal photography on \"PALMETTO\" begins June 8th and will be shot in the Orlando,
Florida area. Casting announcements will be made May 4th.
