Universal City, CA, November 27, 2012 —

Camelot Entertainment Group’s (OTC Pinksheets: CMGR) Chairman and CEO Robert Atwell issued the following statement on the future growth prospects in the entertainment and media industry and how it pertains to Camelot’s future:

“With astonishing speed, entertainment and media have evolved into a highly dynamic industry, interconnected by the global digital platform in a manner that few people could even have ever conceived 20 years ago. Today, digital media of all types must be included when considering the scope of the entertainment and media industry.  Broadband Internet connections in U.S. homes and businesses totaled about 88 million as 2012 began, plus an additional 105 million mobile Internet subscribers.  This means there is a true mass market for online entertainment and media for Camelot to provide content to and realize revenue from in addition to the normal revenue streams currently being generated. Most recently, the “Third Screen” (cell phone-based content including video and music) is becoming a major factor in entertainment and media.  As 2012 began, there were about 323 million wireless subscriptions (for cell phones, tablets and other devices) in the U.S. and nearly 6 billion worldwide. Camelot is well positioned to take advantage of these market opportunities due in part to our ability to be flexible and to be able to react efficiently and quickly to this rapidly changing environment.”

“During the last couple of years, Camelot has worked through several financial, legal and regulatory compliance obstacles. While working through and overcoming those roadblocks, our Camelot Distribution Group subsidiary remained focused on building our core distribution business. Our success from these efforts is reflected in the significant improvement in our 2011 and 2010 financial results.  During fiscal year 2011, sales increased 41% and revenues increased 67% in comparison to 2010. During fiscal year 2010, sales increased 80% and revenues increased 100% in comparison to 2009.”

“As there was a delay in our reporting due to business changes and other issues, which have now been resolved, our company auditors have been designated to bring our reporting obligations current over the next 6 months in order to prepare for the upcoming opportunities and growth. We expect to file our 2010 reports during the 4th quarter, followed shortly thereafter by our 2011 and 2012 reports.”

“Once our audit is up-to-date, we expect to fund and begin production on our first slate of films to be produced under the Camelot Films Production Model. We are also continuing our efforts to build new studios in Las Vegas and New Orleans.  Furthermore, we continue to explore the acquisition of feature film libraries and production/distribution companies that will complement our business model in order to secure the intellectual properties that comprise the foundation of our business.”

“As we near the end of 2012, we have announced that Camelot Distribution Group will be selling our largest film to date; the $20 Million budgeted movie titled “The 34th Battalion” and will be stepping up our planned acquisitions of several more new titles with a goal of fifteen new acquisitions in 2013, with projected gross sales potentially surpassing $5,000,000 for the first time as we continue to efficiently expand our business model both domestically and internationally.”

“Our management team has performed superbly, demonstrating the focus and ingenuity that define our company. In order to meet the demands of this emerging digital marketplace, our team has worked extremely hard under difficult circumstances to solidify Camelot’s position in what is a very competitive environment.”

“I sincerely would like to thank you for your support of Camelot and I am extremely optimistic about our future in the motion picture industry.”

Don Groves is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney.

The Australian Army’s 34th Battalion fought fierce battles against the Germans in France during World War I. Now the unit’s little-heralded story will be chronicled in The 34th Battalion, a $A19M ($19.8M) Australian film with Luke Hemsworth, Charles Mesure and Les Hill. They join Nick Farnell, Clare van der Boom, Henry Nixon, Andrew Lees, Vince Colosimo, Ashley Zuckerman, Tony Bonner and Khan Chittenden in the ensemble cast. The 34th Battalion tells the story of four friends in Maitland in rural New South Wales who joined the Army in 1916 after the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. In their first engagement the battalion saved the French town of Villers-Bretonneux. Later the 34th played a role in the Allies’ offensive in the battle of Amiens and the battle of St Quentin Canal, the operation that breached the Hindenburg Line, thus sealing Germany’s defeat. Ian Sparke will serve as executive producer and his son Luke Sparke will direct. The father-son team also penned the screenplay. Shooting is due to start in early 2013.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with Camelot in bringing this amazing story to the world,” stated Luke Sparke. “My aim with THE 34th BATTALION is to raise the bar on first World War films, and I am proud to have a fantastic Australian crew from “The Pacific”, “X-men”, “The Great Raid” and other local war based productions. Closing in on the 100th anniversary, we are very aware of the responsibility in telling this story as accurate as we can without pulling any punches: It’s going to be big, loud and a rollercoaster ride of emotions.”

Universal City, CA – (July 10, 2012) Camelot Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTC: CMGR) (”Camelot”) and Camelot Distribution Group (“CDG”) announced that principal photography begins today on WIENER DOG NATIONALS, in Los Angeles, California. This family friendly, live action film is written and directed by Kevan Peterson of Fromage Pictures and is about a family uniting when their newly adopted dachshund races for the championship title.

The cast includes Jason London (Dazed and Confused) as the dad Phil Jack, Alicia Witt (Two Weeks Notice, 88 Minutes, Vanilla Sky) as Melanie, the race coordinator and Phil’s love interest, “Mad Men” star Bryan Batt as Judge Brown, and Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee Morgan Fairchild as the wicked Miss Merryweather.  Also cast is Nickelodeon’s Austin Anderson (“Victorious”), Julian Feder, and Caitlin Carmichael (Conception).  Anderson will also be performing a song for the soundtrack of the film.

“It’s an amazing experience to be able to finally direct this movie,” said writer/director Peterson.  “There is such a great group of talented people that have banded together to make this film a reality – everyone from our amazing cast to our wonderful production team.  I am in awe everyday at what we are achieving with this film.  I’ve been asked to say, on behalf of our star dogs as well, ‘bark, bark, woof, woof,’ which loosely translates to ‘I’m ready for my close up.”

The famous hotdog fast food chain Wienerschnitzel, serves as an inspiration to the film from their famous Wiener Nationals dachshund races held every year all over the country and is signed onto cross-promote the film during release.

In addition, production has teamed up in a co-promotion with the Special Olympics.  Two Special Olympics athletes will take part in the film.

“It’s been quite a journey with this film,” commented President of CDG Jessica Kelly.  “’WDN’ is a great heartwarming story perfect for the entire family.  I look forward to wrapping production and getting the film to the consumers.”

‘WDN’ is a film about the Jack family adopting an abandoned dachshund, Shelly, from the shelter and the remarkable story that follows her arrival.  When Shelly is entered into the nation’s greatest wiener dog race, she is forced into fierce competition where challenges arise for the Jack family as well as the runt, Shelly.  However, with love and strength, this united family can overcome anything.
