Sky High Entertainment Announces Partnership with Six Degrees, Inc. to Market Latest Film 'Dinosaurs' in 3D

Sky High Entertainment Announces Partnership with Six Degrees, Inc. to Market Latest Film 'Dinosaurs' in 3D

Slated for December 2006 Release; Chicago Firm Exclusive Agency for Sponsorship and Licensing Opportunities

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Quebec-based Sky High Entertainment today announced a partnership with Six Degrees, Inc., a Chicago-based branded entertainment and customer experience design firm. Six Degrees will generate sponsorships, licensing deals and overall go to market support to promote the December 2006 release of "Dinosaurs," Sky High Entertainment's latest large format creation.

Shot with the latest in IMAX(TM) technology, Dinosaurs captures the excitement of these enormous creatures in 3D and the film will also be available for wider distribution in 2D theatres. Animators who helped create "Jurassic Park III," "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings," will take the "Dinosaurs" audience back to the time when the Argentinosaur, the largest land animal ever, and Giganotosaur, a predator larger than T-Rex, roamed the Earth. The film will explore some the greatest paleontological discoveries of modern time.

"This new film will be the most exciting dinosaur adventure film since 'Jurassic Park,' but with a twist -- 'Dinosaurs' will be 100 percent factually accurate," said Carl Samson, CEO of Sky High Entertainment. "We want to set the record straight about dinosaurs, and at the same time, creatively and technologically surpass everything that's ever been produced in recreating their world."

"Savvy marketers looking to connect with consumers of all ages, and capitalize on the release date at the start of the holiday buying season, should look no further," said Sheila Clary, president of Six Degrees, Inc. "Additionally, sponsors will have longevity; as Dinosaurs' will be seen by a wide audience base for years to come. Museums and large format theaters typically have extended runs, often over a period of several years."

Sky High Entertainment plans to distribute the film internationally to both 3D and 2D theaters. The last large format dinosaur film, released in 1996, T-Rex, grossed more than $90 million and is still running in 30 theaters today.
