Dean Wilson Named COO of First Look Studios

LOS ANGELES, May 1: First Look Studios has appointed Dean
Wilson, previously with Blockbuster Inc., as its COO, reporting to CEO Trevor
Short and to Avi Lerner, the co-chairman of First Look Holdings, which acquired
control of the studio earlier this year.

In his new position, Wilson will be responsible for the
marketing, sale, acquisition and distribution of First Look's product lines,
which include First Look's film acquisitions, its existing catalogue of over
1,000 titles, and exclusive distribution properties such as the Ultimate
Fighting Championship, Video Asia and Big Vision.

Prior to his appointment, Wilson served as the head of new
business development for Blockbuster Inc., where he was responsible for the
company's alternative movie distribution strategy. He was also one of the
founders of DEJ Productions, a film acquisition and distribution subsidiary of
Blockbuster, which was sold to First Look Studios in 2005.

First Look Holdings—owned by Nu Image and Henry
Winterstern— acquired control of First Look Studios in February. First
Look's operations include theatrical releasing, video and DVD operations,
television distribution and branded entertainment. Nu Image handles foreign
sales of First Look titles.
