Multi-Year Agreement includes the Distribution of The Weinstein Company’s Upcoming Theatrical Releases Based on Joyce Meyer’s “The Penny” and Max Lucado’s “The Christmas Candle”

SANTA MONICA, Calif.—June 25, 2007—Genius Products, LLC, a leading independent home entertainment distribution company, today announced a distribution agreement with EMI Music North America’s Christian Music Group (CMG) division, establishing EMI CMG Distribution as the exclusive distributor of Genius Products in Christian retail markets. The announcement was made by Trevor Drinkwater, President and CEO of Genius Products, Inc. (OTC BB: GNPI), Chairman Stephen K. Bannon, and Bill Hearn President of EMI CMG.

“This relationship with EMI CMG solidifies our foundation and commitment to the Faith-based business and opens tremendous growth opportunities for this category,” stated Mr. Bannon. “By combining EMI CMG’s 2,300 retail locations with our new and existing content we immediately become one of the leading content providers in the faith vertical. We will continue to expand the quality content we offer in the four verticals of Sports, Family/Faith, Lifestyle and Independent Film.”

EMI CMG Distribution is one of the world’s largest Christian music and video distributors and has a dedicated sales and fulfillment system servicing more than 2,300 Christian retail stores throughout North America. CMG’s planned rollout of new titles from Genius Products, beginning in the third quarter of 2007, includes theatrical films, direct to DVD movies, animated children's programming and live action family films.

Genius Products will expand its position in the faith based market with two high profile theatrical releases: “The Penny” co-authored by Joyce Meyer and "The Christmas Candle" by Max Lucado. These films will be the first two releases from The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Impact Entertainment deal focused on producing and acquiring theatrical and direct-to-video titles for the faith-based community.

“This new relationship with EMI CMG represents our first major expansion into Christian retail,” stated Trevor Drinkwater, President and CEO of Genius Products. “Given our commitment to the family/faith vertical, this relationship is a critical component of our ability to offer content producers distribution into traditional and non-traditional retail outlets.”

"Home video/family entertainment is the fastest growing category for Christian retail sales," said Bill Hearn, President and CEO of EMI CMG. "We are very excited to partner with Genius, an aggressive home entertainment distributor with an impressive line-up of family/faith content that will greatly expand the offerings of quality family-friendly and faith-based films to the Christian retail community and their consumers.”
