PARANOID GOES "HI-REZ" ONLINE

Los Angeles, CA (February 1, 2002) - Officially, the first Stephen
King "Dollar-Baby" to receive permission to be released on the
Internet, Paranoid, which premiered on iFilm.com last Friday, is now
available in a hi-resolution downloadable version on the official
website www.paranoidthemovie.com.

Through the extraordinary efforts of digital engineer Miles Imel of
Milestone Allied Productions (www.MAP-Media.com) in close
collaboration with Paranoid's director/cinematographer Jay Holben, a
careful compromise was achieved between current compression
technology, the limitations of the Internet and providing the highest
quality product to viewers. The result is a 72MB file with a viewing
resolution of 640x272 pixels. Download times for this file run
between 20 and 45 minutes depending on DSL/Cable speeds. It is
requested, and recommended, that viewers download and save Paranoid
on their own systems and do not attempt to watch the high-resolution
version online.

Paranoid made its World Wide Web debut January 25th on iFilm.com (a
privately held company based in Hollywood, CA) and quickly gained
popularity, amassing more than 21,000 views in its first week and
climbing to the #7 slot for most popular short film on the
entertainment network's vast website of more than 80,000 films.

Stephen King's self-dubbed "Dollar-Deal" is a policy the writer
established early in his career to grant young filmmaker's the
permission to make a movie out of any of his short stories as long as
the resulting film will not be exhibited commercially without his
approval. For this one-time right, King asks only for a copy of the
finished film and the grand total of one dollar. The most
famous "Dollar-Baby" (as King dubs the finished products and the
filmmakers who create them) is Frank Darabont's adaptation of The
Woman in the Room (released in the early 1980s on Interglobal Home
Video). Darabont later went on to adapt the multi-Academy Award
nominated films The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Paranoid will be available for viewing on iFilm.com or downloading
from the official website exclusively through mid-August.
