<p align="center"><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: medium;">DIRECTOR/PRODUCER/WRITER  GREG REITMAN'S FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY, “Hollywood's Magical Island  - Catalina” will PREMIER FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH AT THE 2003 TEMECULA  VALLEY INTERNATIONAL FILM AND MUSIC FESTIVAL CO-SPONSORED BY FENDER  MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS CORP.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">Los Angeles, Calif.  - Sept 12, 2003 -- Greg Reitman, Filmmaker and founder of Blue Water  Entertainment, Inc. has confirmed that his first full-length feature  documentary “<em>Hollywood's Magical Island - Catalina”</em> has been  accepted and will have its big screen premiere at this year's Temecula  Valley International Film and Music Festival in Temecula, California.   Reitman's feature directorial debut has secured a prime time Friday,  September 12th, 5:00 p.m. slot during Temecula's September 10th-14th  schedule.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">Using a mix of rare 16mm film, old  photographs, interviews of islanders, historians and celebrities, <strong><em> Hollywood's Magical Island</em></strong> chronicles Catalina from the Wrigley  era through the present day resurrection of Avalon as a center for art,  sports, music, and entertainment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">“I challenge you to find another  island like this in the world. There's no where else where you have  a large community (Los Angeles) and a protected island right off shore,”  says renowned eco-warrior Jean-Michel Cousteau.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">For others like Oscar nominated actress  Kathleen Quinlan who was born in Avalon, the island has much deeper  personal and spiritual significance: “This (Catalina) is what I am,”  Quinlan reveals n <strong><em>Hollywood's Magical Island</em>.</strong> “Everything  else is what I do.... but this is what I am.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">Veteran character actor Peter Coyote  narrates while the cast of this 48 minute documentary includes (in alphabetical  order) Art Good, Founder of the Catalina Jazz Trax, the late bandleader  Les Brown and his son, Les Brown, Jr., Festival Blues Organizer and  director of Fender Records, Del Breckenfeld, oceanographer Jean-Michel  Cousteau, surf guitar legend Dick Dale, actors Tony Dow, Gregory Harrison  Peggy Moran, and Oscar-nominated actress Kathleen Quinlan; historian's  Kathryn Abbott, Larry Harris, Chuck Liddell and Patricia Anne Moore,  tile Artists, Richard Keit and Mary Kennedy, veteran producer from Paramount  Pictures A.C. Lyles, former Mayor of Avalon Bud Smith and the grand-daughter  of benefactor William Wrigley, Jr., Ada Wrigley Schreiner</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">Says<strong><em> Hollywood's  Magical Island</em></strong> director Reitman: “There are so few places  left where you can trace the lineage of American music. Along with Radio  City Music Hall, the Catalina Casino happens to be one of those places.  There is an absolute sense of freedom around Catalina. I really feel  it and hopefully I conveyed that sense in the film.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">“I was an East Coast  guy looking at Catalina, so there's really little surprise that during  the shooting of this film I found my own unique narrative voice.   Years ago films like <em>Jaws, Splash</em> and <em>Peter Pan</em> made a  huge impression on me.  Even the water sequences in George Lucas's <em> Attack of the Clones</em> floored me. Looking at Catalina above and below  the ocean is phenomenal.  It's so gorgeous under the water, if  you can't get it on film, it's nothing short of tragic. I steered away  from delivering any ecology message, but the inherent atmosphere and  vibe around Catalina is so wonderful with big business and industry  shut out for over a century that a world where tranquility, clarity  and commerce can co-exist together is all caught on film.”</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;"> It's doubtful anyone  in the history of Catalina's legendary Avalon Ballroom is more revered  than the late big band legend Les Brown, whose foot-tapping swing dance  music played to sold out audiences for more than 60 years. In addition  to Brown and his Band of Renown, recording artists heard on the reel-to-reel,  sea-and-sand soundtrack include The Four Preps with their early 1960s  hit single “26 Miles”, Nat King Cole, Jimmy Buffett, Nina Simone,  Blues legend Taj Mahal &amp; Smooth Jazz artist Dave Koz.  Dubbed  by one critic “the Latin Hendrix”, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">f</span>lamenco  guitarist Omar Torrez, and Christopher Lennertz give an additional boost  to the film's soundtrack with original upbeat compositions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: New York; font-size: small;">Legendary Hollywood casting director  Mike Fenton (<em>Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</em>, <em>E.T</em>, <em> The Godfather 11, Blade Runner), </em> etc<em>.</em>, acted as a senior advisor on the film while Executive Producer  Lenny Shapiro handled distribution.</span></p>
