Embrem Entertainment Acquires Worldwide Rights to "THE BIG GAY MUSICAL"

(New York, NY - March 24, 2009) Embrem Entertainment announced today it has acquired worldwide distribution rights to "The Big Gay Musical," a movie musical romantic comedy starring many Broadway actors and shot in New York in the fall of 2008. The movie musical was co-directed by Casper Andreas and Fred M. Caruso. Embrem acquired the not-yet-edited film from Caruso, who is also the film's writer and producer. Embrem is providing finishing funds and will take the film through its post production stage, with the intent to premiere it at film festivals in the summer of 2009.

Andreas, President and CEO of Embrem Entertainment, is proud to assist in the completion of "The Big Gay Musical." Andreas, a multi award-winning writer and director, recently released his second feature "A Four Letter Word" on DVD. His third film "Between Love & Goodbye" is currently playing select US theaters, and is soon to be released on DVD by Embrem together with TLA Releasing.

"Though I initially was hired just to co-direct "The Big Gay Musical," I am thrilled to be taking on a producing role and assist in getting the film completed and distributed worldwide," says Andreas. "The film tells a very sweet and wonderful story about self-acceptance and being true to who you are. It has amazing song and dance numbers and a fantastic cast of Broadway actors, singers and dancers. I am very proud to be part of it and can't wait to bring it to audiences."

"This movie combines my love of both the theatre and film," says Caruso in a statement. "I am very excited that we now will be able to get it out to audiences everywhere." Caruso is releasing the soundtrack for "The Big Gay Musical" in the summer of 2009, and will also be in charge of the film's theatrical release in U.S. theaters.

"The Big Gay Musical" stars dozens of Broadway veterans, including Liz McCartney ("Taboo", "South Pacific"), Jim Newman ("Curtains", "Minnelli on Minnelli"), Joey Dudding ("A Chorus Line", "La Cage"), Marty Thomas ("Xanadu", "Wicked", "The Secret Garden"), Andre Ward ("Xanadu", "Saturday Night Fever"), Daniel Robinson ("Hairspray"), Jeff Metzler ("Mary Poppins"), Brian Spitulnik ("Chicago"), Josh Cruz ("Wig Out"), Celina Carvajal ("Tarzan" & Reality TV show "The Search of Elle Woods") and Steve Hayes, one of the stars of the film "Trick".
