Social Capital Entertainment Debuts First Theatrical Release: Snoop Dogg's Urban Frightfest 'Hood of Horror'

Successful Bay Area Real Estate Developer and Producer's Feature Film Debut

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Social Capital Entertainment, an innovative independent production company which produces motion picture, music and interactive entertainment, announced today the theatrical release of its first-ever feature film, Snoop Dogg's "Hood of Horror", which opens on Friday, May 4th in limited release throughout the U.S., including the San Francisco Bay Area. The film also features Bay Area hip-hip artists on its sound track, including Tone Capone, Flii Stylz and Oakland Raider Justin Fargas, who wrote and performed the movie's opening song. John Gaeta, a fellow Bay Area resident and Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor (The Matrix trilogy), wrote the film's animation sequences.

"Hood of Horror" is a hip hop horror anthology featuring three tales of terror told by the Hound of Hell (Snoop Dogg) that revolve around the residents of an inner-city neighborhood whose actions in this life determine where they will end up in the afterlife.

"Working with talent like Snoop and John Gaeta on our first feature film underscores the Social Capital approach to filmmaking," said Martin Shore, founder, Social Capital Entertainment. "Our goal from the beginning has been to team with top flight talent on cutting-edge, yet highly lucrative independent projects."

Social Capital's second feature film, "The Countess" starring Julie Delpy, Radha Mitchell and Ethan Hawke, begins filming in Eastern Europe this summer.

Martin Shore's 25-year entertainment career began at an early age, serving as a production assistant on many of his brother's films. Later, as a musician Shore toured with artists such as Bo Didley, Mick Taylor, Bluesman Willie, Clarence Clemons, Albert Collins and many others. As a Grammy-nominated producer, Shore and Social Capital Entertainment have been instrumental in the production of feature film and television soundtracks such as Hood of Horror, Saw (2004) and Saw II (2005), Rize (2005), Rock School (2005), Summerland (2004) and Cursed (2005).

To complement his entertainment endeavors, Mr. Shore is also a highly successful real estate entrepreneur who was recognized by Ernst & Young as runner up for its California Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1998.
