CLASSIC PICTURES, INC.
is in the business of producing and distributing
motion pictures, television, cable, and new medium
programming. Management has a proven history of distinguishing
itself from competitors by offering high quality “family” film
and television entertainment, which is distributed
throughout the world at a reasonable price and in
a timely fashion.
One of the Company’s
new upcoming film productions is entitled “DORF:
U.S.M.C.” Mr. Tim Conway has been contracted to
star in his ongoing character role as “Dorf” in
a full-length motion picture for SUNN. Mr. Conway is
a very well known actor and comedian who’s “Dorf
Home Video Series” has achieved first place recognition
throughout the world in establishing this valuable character. “Dorf
on Golf” was #1 in Video rentals and sales for
101 weeks as reported by Box Office Magazine. Dr. Lang
Elliott (President & CEO of SUNN) and Mr. Conway
pioneered this new venue for original comedy production
in the ‘made-for’ home video industry. Mr.
Conway is the winner of six Emmy Awards for excellence
in television. He has appeared in many motion pictures
including “THE WORLD’S GREATEST ATHLETE,” “DEAR
GOD,” “SPEED II” and in several other
films produced and directed by Dr. Elliott including: “THE
BILLION DOLLAR HOBO,” “THE PRIZE FIGHTER,” “THE
PRIVATE EYES,” “THEY WENT THAT-A-WAY AND
THAT-A-WAY,” and “THE LONGSHOT.” His
television series have included “MCHALE’S
NAVY,” “THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW,” “THE
TIM CONWAY SHOW” and the “DORF” home
videos and DVDs. An actor, writer and producer, Mr. Conway
received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in
1989.

Employees
SUNN currently has eight full-time employees and has
plans to expand to a total of fifteen. A larger staff
will be required in order for SUNN to fulfill the public's
anticipated desire and demand for SUNN's unique product,
generated through production, distribution and acquisitions.
SUNN
CLASSIC PICTURES, INC.
SUNN was originally created
in the late 1970’s for the purpose of producing
and distributing family entertainment. Successful from
its conception, SUNN quickly became one of the major
independent motion picture and television companies within
our industry. During this same period, another independent
family entertainment company, TriStar Pictures, Inc.,
was also flourishing. Ironically, two members of SUNN’s
current management team, Mr. Rayland Jensen (a Senior
V.P. and Director of the ‘original’ SUNN
company) and Dr. Lang Elliott (original founder, President & CEO
of TriStar Pictures, Inc., and its other TriStar subsidiaries),
were at the helm of these two respected companies.
When
the current management learned that the inactive SUNN
CLASSIC PICTURES, INC. was for sale, management quickly
prepared an offer and acquired the company and its many
film and television assets, including the NBC Network
Series entitled “GRIZZLY
ADAMS.” Paramount Pictures has been distributing
this series and SUNN has continued equity participation
from any and all sales revenues related to “GRIZZLY
ADAMS.” SUNN’s name is considered to be a
valued asset as is the prior repetition and goodwill
of the original SUNN CLASSIC PICTURES, INC.
SUNN’s
re-entry into the motion picture and television industry,
with its proven management team, is filling a void in
the marketplace. SUNN has built a fully functional entity
that is producing and distributing film, television,
cable, video/DVD
and new media programming for audiences worldwide. It
is extremely important to the success of any Sunn's feature
films to have an adequate theatrical release in the United
States, which in turn increases the value and sales revenue
in all other mediums by a substantial amount.
While
forming the strategy for the theatrical advertising
campaign of a feature film, it is not always prudent
to set the film for a national release, utilizing
thousands of prints and spending millions of dollars
in advertising costs. In some cases a more conservative
approach is wiser. For example, if a film is booked
in a few hundred theaters and limited to territories
of a few markets, the initial ‘at
risk’ costs are greatly reduced. This will give
an indication of the film's potential prior to committing
larger expenditures of capital. When a film performs
profitability, the company is much more inclined to spend
more money. If the film does not perform as desired,
it is licensed and/or sold to all other mediums including
television, cable, video and DVD markets worldwide. With
an ever-changing marketplace, SUNN understands the need
for flexibility and innovative thinking. Additionally,
the Internet is an up and coming form of viewing with
Video On Demand. It is also an advertising resource that
has become very effective.
