LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crimson Forest Entertainment (CRIM: OTCBB), a global independent motion picture studio, today announced it has entered into an agreement with China Film Assist Co. (CFA), under which CFA will invest $5 million to be used for production of a scripted science fiction film that is owned by Crimson.
Under the terms of the agreement, a total of 10,000,000 shares of Crimson common stock will be issued to CFA at a price of $0.50 per share. Details of the film will be announced soon, with production scheduled to begin in April 2015 in the U.S. and China.

They have partnered with some of the world's leading, iconic motion picture studios, including 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Emperor Entertainment Group Limited, Sundream Motion Pictures, Legendary East, among others. We are very happy to be part of such a prestigious group."

Our investment demonstrates the confidence we have in the company and the momentum it is gaining in becoming a leading producer of films for the China marketplace."
