| Kanakaris Media Blitz Hits Barron's, CNN.Com, Hollywood Reporter As Company Seeks #1 Position in Online Movie Creation and Distribution Following Reported Possible Demise of DEN 
 HOLLYWOOD,  Calif., May 19, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --  Kanakaris
 Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KKRS), the world's leader in Internet
 distribution of full-length motion pictures in multiple bandwidths, is
 aggressively seeking recognition as the #1 creator and distributor of film
 content on the Internet. Their bold move comes as it was reported that one of
 Kanakaris' competitors in entertainment convergence, DEN, is in jeopardy of
 going out of business.
 
 In both news stories and paid advertisements, Kanakaris has embarked on a media
 blitz which has seen coverage in the past week in leading information sources
 such as Barron's (paid press release profiles), CNN.Com (link in an editorial
 story about online movies) and the Hollywood Reporter (full page ad touting
 CinemaPop.com and the Magnificent World Of Movies).
 
 "We are proud to see Kanakaris strengthening its leadership role as the virtual
 box office for the 21st Century. We believe strongly in the Kanakaris business
 model of advertising, subscription and pay-per-view. This is coupled with top
 management and a consolidated company with 25 years of experience. We believe
 Kanakaris is a leader which can take advantage of dot com fallout while
 appealing to a vast worldwide audience," said Richard Epstein, Alliance
 Equities. Alliance Equities maintains a stock position in Kanakaris.
