UNIVERSAL GROOVE STARRING LOST BOY COREY HAIM RELEASING

July 29, 2007, Montreal, Canada -- Producers Francois Garcia, and Sandeep Panesar are elated to finally be releasing the Corey Haim film Universal Groove to the public at large this October 1, 2007.

The production, which completed principal photography in 1999, was plagued with horrific post-production problems from multiple editors, to a 2003 studio break in which robbed the production of critical footage needed to complete the film.

"We were at a loss for what to do next," says Francois Garcia, producer and director.

In 2005 footage from that robbery reached the Internet and served to further damage the producers' post-production efforts.

"Sadly we went through two editing teams to get to the one that we ended up with, " says Sandeep Panesar, producer and writer, "but the guys we ended up with really shone through for us."

By October 2006 the production was back on track, and move ever closer to completion. Panesar and Garcia worked relentlessly with the new post-production team to complete scenes that were damanged by the studio robbery, introduce a new storyline, and develop some visually stimulating sequences through the addition of critical CGI elements.

Over all the production has taken 8 1/4 years to complete from original draft to final release date. Ultimately this has been a wait longer than most anticpated.

"The fans in the end are the ones who have suffered," says Garcia, "and endured."

October 1, 2007 will mark the films release, however the producers following in the footsteps of their original idea to create an independent feature film are completing the distribution in the same manner. There is currently no commercial distributor attached to the film, and it will be released exclusively through the film's official web site at http://www.universalgroovemovie.com .

The site is home to an official blog penned by Panesar that chronicles the events over the last 8 years of production, proving to be a great read for the fans at the very least.

"Thankfully we were able to give something back to [the fans] to make it worth the wait." finishes Panesar.

In the end both Garcia and Panesar are pleased that the final product accurate represents the original vision, and now provides a retrospective look into the afterhours party scene that has changed since the film was originally shot.

In an attempt to guerrilla push the film on the Internet it is no coincidence that that Universal Groove begins presales through the official site on July 29, 2007--the date that Corey Haim's reality / comedy show The Two Coreys airs on A&E Networks.
