Peace Arch� Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX: PAE) (TSX: PAE), an integrated global entertainment company, today announced the promotion of Julie Sultan to the newly created post of president, international motion picture sales.

Sultan, executive VP since April 2007, has been tapped to lead an expanded sales effort amid a major increase in film acquisition activity by PAE, including obtaining international distribution rights to the dark comedy "Nobel Son," drama "Explicit iLLS" and thriller "Two: Thirteen." Peace Arch is showcasing the titles during this week's American Film Market in Santa Monica, CA.

In her new role heading international film acquisitions and sales, Sultan has announced the promotions of Suzanne Barron to executive VP, international motion picture sales; Caroline Dubourg to VP, international motion picture sales and business affairs; and Nicole Jelovic to manager, international motion picture sales.

"There is no one better than Julie to lead our international film acquisition and sales efforts, which will play an increasingly important role in boosting our profitability," PAE COO John Flock says. "By lowering our production output, we have been able to focus more of our resources on economically acquiring quality films to meet growing demand both internationally and from our own expanding direct DVD and theatrical distribution businesses in North America. Julie is a superb, results-oriented executive with a stellar reputation, whose track record of success for us over the past 18 months makes her the perfect candidate for this vital new role."

"I am thrilled that Peace Arch has provided me with this opportunity, and fortunate to have such a capable, highly talented team of executives in place to promote," Sultan added. "Having someone of Suzanne's caliber at my side is a great asset. Combined with Caroline's business acumen and strong understanding of the industry, as well as Nicole's first-rate sales abilities, Peace Arch is well positioned to build on the momentum it has established."

Sultan joined Peace Arch Entertainment as executive VP of international film sales in April 2007 from Lakeshore International, where she served as senior VP for seven years. Earlier, Sultan spent five years at NBC as VP, international TV sales, and at Playboy Entertainment Group as director of international sales.

Barron, senior VP since joining PAE in 2004, previously was an international sales consultant for four years at HBO Enterprises and five years at Playboy Entertainment Group.

Dubourg, who started at PAE in April 2007, spent the previous seven years at TF1 International. There, she was responsible for business and legal affairs for international licensing deals, acquisitions and international coproduction for both U.S. and foreign-language films. She started her business affairs career at Gaumont in film and TV production.

Jelovic joined PAE in 2007 as a film festival coordinator. Other roles include serving as director of development at independent production company Booya Studios and production assistant on the documentary feature "Voices of Iraq."
