Fantastic Films International Wins Multi-Million Dollar

LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles based Fantastic Films
International (FFI) won an arbitration award currently totalling over $2.26M
USD against German filmmaker Uwe Boll personally and against several of his
companies. FFI was the exclusive worldwide sales agent for such Boll films as
Bloodrayne, In The Name of The King, Far Cry and Postal and secured numerous
distribution deals for those films. The Arbitrator found that Boll had either
taken those deals out from under FFI or had otherwise failed to pay FFI
commissions due for the sales in over 45 countries. The Arbitrator also awarded
FFI and FFI president Roxane Barbat $200,000 in libel damages after Boll sent
an email to FFI's buyers disparaging FFI. 

Lincoln Bandlow of L&G (formerly of SSAB), lead counsel for FFI, said the
Arbitrator found elements of Mr. Boll's oral testimony about events that were
in direct conflict with written emails from Boll that were introduced into
evidence. Other emails from Boll to Barbat revealed Boll's objectionable
business practices with statements such as: "may the best agent win" and "it is
ok to sell to two [.] buyers. The first one to pay gets the picture." The
Arbitrator found Boll's testimony to be, in large part, not credible. 

"The Arbitrator's rulings and IFTA and Los Angeles Superior Court approved
award of damages to FFI is validation of our claim of breach of contract," said
Bandlow. "My clients are happy to see that their hard work in securing numerous
distribution deals on behalf of Mr. Boll and his films will finally be
rewarded. We are currently pursuing every avenue to collect this award."
