Belltower Entertainment Corp. (OTCBB: BTOW) announced today that it has formally engaged Leiden Communications Corp. to perform investor relations and shareholder communication services. Current shareholders as well as individuals seeking information about the company will be able to contact Leiden CC at 888-458-2008 or by e-mail at info@leidencc.com.

Belltower announced today that it has partnered with Amalgamation Entertainment, based in Atlanta, GA, to co-finance the feature film currently entitled Little Treasure starring Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker (Last King of Scotland). In addition, Whitaker will serve as Executive Producer on the film. Forest Whitaker is repped by WME.

Little Treasure, which will be filmed on location in Shanghai, China, is an inspiring story about a bi-racial American couple who return to the wife's homeland of China to rekindle their love and reignite their marriage, only to encounter prejudices, humor, cultural differences, and ultimately self-discovery...and along the way meeting a Shanghai street kid who changes their lives. The screenplay was penned by writer Josh Goldstein (Disney’s Jungle Cruise, “Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” “Jamie Foxx Show”). Michael D. Olmos (Splinter) is attached to direct alongside legendary Hollywood cinematographer Reynaldo Villalobos (Risky Business, A Bronx Tale, Urban Cowboy). Belltower is currently negotiating distribution and will release details as soon as a definitive agreement is reached. Belltower has terminated negotiations with IFE (Indie Film Exchange) and Amalgamation Entertainment now replaces IFE as co-finance partner on the film project. In addition to Amalgamation, Belltower is partnered with Asia-based Rouge Entertainment who will provide funding of USD $2.5 million towards the project.

Pre-production has officially commenced with filming set to start April 5th 2010.

Belltower and Rouge Entertainment are currently in negotiations with foreign sales distributor Fortissimo to handle all foreign territory sales for Little Treasure.

Belltower has two more feature films that are currently in various stages of development and pre-production, and are on the company's production slate for 2010:

Dance the Green is written by Academy Award winner Barry Morrow (Rainman) and starring Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar, Gone in 60 Seconds, Boiler Room) with a budget of US$10 million. It’s set to start production by early summer on location in Pittsburgh and Florida. Belltower's CEO Nina Yang will produce alongside Claire Kupchak and Barry Morrow. The company is currently in the final stages of negotiations with a major Hollywood actor to co-star. Giovanni Ribisi is repped by CAA and Management 360.

The Times’ bestselling novel, "Smokescreen," about the true life adventure of Allen Long, a documentary film maker who began smuggling pot out of Colombia in the 70's to finance his movie, has been adapted by Paul Cuschieri and will commence pre-production later this year.

Belltower maintains copyright ownership in all three films slated for production this year with majority control over production, financing and distribution.
