1st Miracle Group, Inc. to Showcase 'Speedway Junky'
At 49th Annual Berlin International Film Festival
NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Jan. 27, 1999--1st Miracle Group, Inc. (OTC BB: MVEE), today announced
that it has been invited by the Berlin International Film Festival to showcase its film, ''Speedway Junky'', at this year's event
which is being held from February 10-21.
Founded in 1951, the Berlin International Film Festival is one of today's leading international film festivals alongside Cannes and
Venice, and has featured such recent hits as ''Goodwill Hunting'', ''The Shawshank Redemption'' and ''Chasing Amy''. Each
year, approximately 3000 journalists from more than 60 countries cover the Festival, while public film screenings attract over
350,000 visitors.
Award-winners at past Festivals include Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, Ingmar
Bergmann, Sidney Lumet, Claude Chabrol, Roman Polanski, Satyajit Ray, Carlos Saura, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Robert
Altman, John Cassavetes and many others.
''Speedway Junky'' has been selected to participate in this year's Panorama Section, which presents a wide range of films in
three divisions: ''art&essai'' (featuring well-known directors as well as newcomers), ''Dokumente'' (featuring a concentrated
selection of the most interesting new documentaries), and ''PANORAMA Special'' (the showcase for rather high budget
international independent productions as well as US major studio productions).
Peter Benz, Chairman of the 1st Miracle Group, commented, ''We are delighted to be included among the select number of
productions featured in this year's Berlin International Film Festival, especially given its reputation as one of the world's premier
film festivals and the extraordinary list of past participants. Next month's event provides us an excellent opportunity to introduce
''Speedway Junky'' to one of the year's largest gatherings of industry professionals and media, which should prove to be
instrumental as we look to broaden the film's international distribution in the future.''
''Speedway Junky'' is a film for today's youth, full of charm and erotic drama. A forbidden love story which we all dreamed of
against the backdrop of the decadence and despair, wealth and success of Las Vegas. The film culminates in an exciting awe
inspiring ''opportunity.'' The film was executive produced by Gus Van Sant, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus co-executive
producers. The Nickolas Perry film was produced by Rodney Omanoff, Randall Emmett, George Furla and Jeff Rice.
