The company is currently in pre-production on "THE LIFE", a romantic comedy that tugs at the heart. Three screenplays are currently in development, "THE FOUR DIRECTIONS" (a dramatic woman's film), "TURNABOUT" (a feel-good comedy) and "THUNDERTOWN" ( a psychological thriller). Each of these screenplays reflects the diversity of Venture Entertainment Group, Inc.

With the 1996 release of "YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE", VEG continues in its tradition of producing award winning special interest programming. The company's catalog features a unique collection of fitness, financial and special interest titles.

"YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE", a three videocassette series, designed for new investors with a special program geared specifically towards women, helps investors better understand the investment opportunities available to them.

Continuing to identify the needs of the marketplace, Venture Entertainment Group released "THE SPA WORKOUT", a series of three videocassettes hosted by Rebecca Gorrell and Jodina Scazzola, Fitness Director and Staff Wellness Coordinator at Canyon Ranch Health and Fitness Resort. Geared toward the baby boomers, the series includes the "FAT BURNING AEROBIC WORKOUT", "MUSCLE CONDITIONING: THE METABOLIC BOOSTER" and "STRETCHING: THE STRESS REDUCER".

In addition to the exercise series, Venture Entertainment Group, Inc. produced an infomercial for "THE SPA WORKOUT" hosted by RITA MORENO.

The first-of-it's-kind "book on videotape" about one of today's most popular collectibles, antique and vintage jewelry, was released by Venture Entertainment Group in 1992. The first program in a series of informative and entertaining videotape programs for collectors, "HIDDEN TREASURES: A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE JEWELRY OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES", introduces viewers to an abundance of jewelry styles and periods,including their history and value.

In 1992, Venture Entertainment Group, Inc. formed WhiteTree Pictures, Inc. to produce high quality and informative children's videos for the home market.

With the 1996 release of "MORE ZOOFARI", "ANIMAL ANTICS" and "CAR FOLLIES", WhiteTree Pictures, Inc. continues to produce quality programs for young people. These children's videos, along with the company's previous award winning releases, "ZOOFARI" and "BUILT FOR SPEED" are designed to be both entertaining and educational.

In the first of a series of video field trips to the zoo, "ZOOFARI" explores the mysterious world of animals at the zoo. Two entertaining and informative tour guides, Sir Arthur Blowhard and his trusty assistant Smythe, explore the wonders of nature's creatures for our young viewers.

The series continues with "MORE ZOOFARI" and "ANIMAL ANTICS" which give children the opportunity to see how these animals look and behave.

"BUILT FOR SPEED" introduces Julianne Seeley, a stock car driver and her two friends, Max and Rebecca who teach children about the safety procedures and differences in the physical characteristics of a race car verses a standard car. Then it's off to the racetrack for some racing action that includes oval racing, figure eight racing, train races and demolition derby.

"CAR FOLLIES" is a crazy concoction of lively music, humorous dialogue and action-packed racing footage. The video shows the many zany and hilarious bloops and blunders of stock car racing.
