Subject: WIZARD Presskit - Part 2


 Electronically dumped hereinbelow are the further adventures of our
 feature's Presskit, from its alleged 1989 theatrical release.

 The original WIZARD Presskit was written by somebody at SGE and (from
 all the typoes and disinformation) by my esteamed business partner.
 When I discovered what SGE was sending out, I used my short breaks
 during the filming of GHOST to quickly research and rewrite the info.

 WIZARD PRESSKIT, Part Two:  The Production Team, The Production Cast


                     "THE WIZARD OF SPEED AND TIME"

                          THE PRODUCTION TEAM

 MIKE JITTLOV has been called a wizard since age 12, when he stunned
 audiences of professional magicians with his original illusions.  Though
 listed in Who's Who, Jittlov's range of jobs, hobbies and eccentricities
 would probably better qualify him a listing in Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

 A Los Angeles native with an impish humor, Jittlov was once responsible
 for half the UFO's seen over the city (and perhaps attracted the other
 half), while working weekends at Tussaud's Hollywood Wax Museum as a
 mechanical Grim Reaper.  Miraculously emerging from his teen years without
 a police record, he hitchhiked across the U.S. with a giant hand on a
 stick, then across Europe for three months, on $500 - thus preparing him
 for the frugal but lonely life of an independent filmmaker.

 Some of his more mentionable accomplishments include rafting down the
 Colorado 16 times (on crafts ranging from wading pools to plywood & inner
 tube dragonships); doing the first broadcast of silent movies on the radio
 (LA's KPFK); writing very, very small (24 lines per inch); whistling three
 octaves; and skydiving off San Pedro's Gerald Desmond Bridge at midnight.

 While a math-language major at UCLA, Mike took an animation course to
 satisfy his art requirement.  His first film, "Good Grief", was entered
 by UCLA in the Academy Awards, and made it to the professional finals for
 nomination.  That did it.  Jittlov bought a 16mm movie camera, designed a
 multi-plane animation system for $200, and began two decades of a career
 as a professional dream-spinner.

 His original filmshorts (including "The Interview", "Swing Shift",
 "Animato" and "Time Tripper") won many top awards and repeat film festival
 screenings, bringing him to the attention of Walt Disney Studios.  In 1978
 Mike co-starred on Disney's two-hour TV extravaganza, "Mickey's 50th",
 creating and animating the first stop-motion Mickey Mouse and 1,000 other
 Disney toys marching around a psychiatrist's office.  He demonstrated his
 filmmaking speed on a Disney prime-time documentary, by creating the
 Universe in eight days (just one short of a record).  And in 1979 he
 co-starred again, on Disney's "Major Effects" television special - this
 time introducing the world to the 500mph Green Wizard.

 After working as Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Actor, and Key Shlep
 on "WIZARD" (as well as 125 other jobs - many of them even competently),
 Mike Jittlov claims to have finally gotten filmmaking out of his system.
 He most recently designed the giant Ymir facade for the World Trade Centre
 in Vancouver, B.C., and climbed to the top of Mount St. Helens without
 a permit.

 RICHARD KAYE, who serves as one of the feature's Producers both on and off
 screen (starring as villainous Hollywood executive Harvey Bookman), has
 brought to this film his 25 years of experience in the entertainment
 business, with an expertise spanning production, financing, marketing and
 distribution.  Kaye began his career as a choreographer, and has produced
 more than 30 international and domestic live stage shows.

 His feature film productions include "Black Fist", starring Dabney
 Coleman, Philip Michael Thomas, and Richard Lawson.  Most recently, he
 executive-produced "The Tomb", as well as two videos, "A Woman's Guide to
 Firearms", and "Sport-A-Size" with Tony Dorsett.

 Kaye is especially knowledgeable in the area of marketing and merchandising.
 He has worked as a pre-sales, marketing and distribution consultant for
 Atlantic Releasing, Samuel Goldwyn, Thorn EMI and Telepictures.

 Richard Kaye has also devised marketing campaigns for John Cassavetes'
 "A Woman Under the Influence" and "Opening Night", Billy Jack Productions'
 "Master Gunfighter", and Sanrio Films' "Glacier Fox" and "Winds of Change".

                               *   *   *

 After attending both the UCLA and USC Film Schools, then graduating from
 the American Film Institute, Producer DEVEN CHIERIGHINO became one of the
 trailblazers of the music video industry - producing and directing
 projects for United Artists and Capitol Records.  His credits include
 producing "Rocky Road", with 65 rock concert video shows for first-run
 syndication, to various special segments for MTV, "Night Tracks", "Friday
 Night Videos", and "Night Flight".

 Chierighino's other producing and directing credits include "Weightless
 Love" for "The Future - What's Next" (Landsburg - NBC), "The Black Hole
 TV special (Disney - NBC), "The Secret of Making Money" (Cable Vision),
 the classic "Mouse Mania" sequences for "Mickey's 50th" TV special
 (Disney - NBC), "The Dream Finder Run" for EPCOT's Imagination Pavillion,
 and numerous segments for The Disney Channel.

 His extensive experience as cinematographer and director, combined with
 his expertise as producer on Jittlov's original short film, "The Wizard
 of Speed and Time", made Deven Chierighino the most natural collaborator
 on the "WIZARD" feature.

 Coming from a television background of scoring episodes for Spelling-
 Goldberg's "Hart to Hart", "T.J. Hooker", and Michael Landon Productions'
 "Little House On the Prarie", Composer JOHN MASSARI moved on to numerous
 music assignments with The Walt Disney Company - composing the themes for
 "The Wonderful World of Disney", "Disney's 50th Anniversary", "A Disney
 Christmas", "The Disney Channel", and the grand opening for Disney World's
 EPCOT Center.

 With A&M Films, John Massari composed and conducted the score for "White
 Light"; and for HBO, the timeless theme music for "The Ray Bradbury
 Theater", for which he was nominated an Award For Cable Excellence as Best
 Original Score.  His imaginative music for Transworld's "Killer Klowns
 From Outer Space" has earned him the 1989 nomination for Best Original
 Score from The Academy of Science Fiction and Fantasy Films.

 Concert pieces include a suite for orchestra, entitled "Intimita"; a
 ballet oratorio based on Mark Twain's powerful poem, "The War Prayer"; and
 "First Suite", commissioned by the United States Air Force.

 Mr. Massari's current composing assignments are with Spelling/Laurel
 Entertainment's television series, "Monsters", and two feature film
 projects for Image Organization/Cinepex Inc.

 Director of Photography RUSSEL CARPENTER was born in Van Nuys, California,
 where a summer school screening of Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" became a
 powerful inspiration for his career in cinematography.

 While majoring in television production at San Diego State University,
 Carpenter interned at KPBS-TV.  He garnered two local Emmys and was
 nominated for a third with the station, as well as receiving two Cine
 Golden Eagle awards.  He also worked on a number of documentaries,
 including "The Real Rookies" and "American Indian Artists".  Soon after,
 he was director of photography on ABC's "Rolling Stone Magazine 20th
 Anniversary Special", KCET's "The Emancipation of Mary Todd Lincoln", and
 the HBO comedy special "Women of the Night".

 Russ Carpenter's feature cinematography work includes "Sole Survivor",
 "Cameron's Closet", New Line Cinema's "Critters II", and producer-
 director Frank LaLoggia's haunting masterwork, "Lady In White".

 Sound Effects Designer STEVE MANN has been officially credited with
 creating and designing unique and innovative soundtracks on over 25
 feature films - and not credited on a few dozen more.

 He began his career as a singer/composer and record producer in the
 Midwest.  After producing two albums and numerous singles, Mann went on
 to attend Northwestern University, where he majored in music theory and
 arrangement.  Following that, he went to work for the Quaker Oats Company
 and Fisher Price - writing music, conducting symphonies, editing and
 creating the soundtracks for numerous high budget industrial films,
 commercials, and corporate multi-media shows.

 In 1979 he left all his work relationships behind, moving to Los Angeles
 to fulfill his dream of working in features.  Mann climbed the ladder
 rapidly into the feature mainstream, and found his talents put to good
 use.  His recent credits include "Lady in White", "Under the Cherry
 Moon", "14 Going On 30", and "On Wings of Eagles", to name just a few.

 Steve Mann currently owns and operates Sound Surgeon Inc., a successful
 post-production sound facility in North Hollywood, where he's been able
 to bring his professional experience to many motion pictures and
 television movies.



                          THE PRODUCTION CAST

 PAIGE MOORE, who stars as the aspiring actress Cindy Light, began her
 career in true Busby Berkeley fashion.  When she first walked into
 Arlington's Melody Faire Theater to apply for a waitressing job, the
 owner asked her if she could sing.  She said yes.  Could she dance?  Yes.
 Could she go on stage that night?  Yes.  Given a few hours to learn her
 lines, steps and songs, she went on stage that evening to act, dance, and
 do a solo number in "George M".

 Many more roles followed - from the young "old maid" Lizzy Curry in "The
 Rainmaker", to the flamboyant Sally Bowles in "Cabaret", to the female
 lead in "Sugar".

 Graduating from Florida State's Saint Leo College with a triple major in
 Theater Arts, Education and Speech, Paige moved back to her native
 Virginia to win the coveted Miss Virginia title in the 1980 Miss America
 Pageant.  She was also the first recipient of the crown to be a guest
 artist at the end of her reign.

 Two years later she moved to Los Angeles, landing parts in NBC's "Days of
 Our Lives", and the lead role as Private Mary Parts in the feature film,
 "Harold Is a Fool".  After auditioning for the lead in Jittlov's "Time
 Guardian", Mike called her in for the "WIZARD" casting sessions.  Could
 she dance?  Yes.  Could she sing?  Yes!  Could she act in stop-motion
 while being carried at 500 mph by a wild green genie?  Well...

 Besides continuing her acting career, Paige Moore has also become the
 Executive Producer of Livingston 5, Inc., a successful Hollywood
 commercial production company.

 While in a Hollywood casting call with 400 other actors, PHILIP MICHAEL
 THOMAS was asked about his latest film role.  He replied that he'd just
 finished playing a dedicated LAPD officer in WIZARD.  Thomas was
 immediately screen-tested, and cast as undercover officer Ricardo Tubbs
 - the starring role on NBC's hit series, "Miami Vice".

 The Ohio-born Thomas grew up in South Central Los Angeles and San
 Bernardino, California.  He started as an extra in features, singing and
 dancing, at age four.  Taught to play the piano by his mother, he went on
 to win talent contests, combining his singing and dancing abilities.

 After his 18-month stint in "Hair", Thomas starred as Gabe Gabriel in
 the Pulitzer Prize-winning "No Place to Be Somebody".  His first major
 feature role came in "Stygma", followed by the co-starring role with
 Raymond St. Jacques in "The Book of Numbers".  He later played a dual
 role in Richard Kaye's "Black Fist".  In 1976, Thomas' career shifted
 into high gear when he co-starred with Irene Cara in "Sparkle".  He was
 soon guest-starring on the TV series "Trapper John M.D.", "Strike Force",
 "Starsky and Hutch", and many others.

 Philip Michael Thomas is now not only a star actor, but also a star
 recording artist - producing albums at his Miami-based Spaceship Records.
 He owns PMT Productions, as well as the Miamiway Theater, a showcase for
 movies, jazz concerts and local talent.

 ARNETIA WALKER plays Tina, a studio actress and Cindy's best friend.  As
 a child, she was determined to attend New York City's acclaimed High
 School of Performing Arts.  Arnetia got her wish - and at the age of 16
 she appeared on Broadway in the musical version of "Two Gentlemen From
 Verona".

 After high school she enrolled at Bronx Community College, but left when
 she was invited to become Stephanie Mills' standby in the Broadway
 production of "The Wiz".  She was immediately hired to replace Debbie
 Allen in the Broadway musical, "Raisin".

 Moving to California, Walker headlined a musical revue at Disneyland for
 two years.  Developing a comedy nightclub act at the same time, she left
 the Magic Kingdom to tour many of the major clubs in the area.  Between
 engagements, she appeared in the feature, "The Best Little Whorehouse in
 Texas", as well as "The Neil Sedaka Special", and "ABC Presents Tomorrow's
 Stars"; and most recently co-starred on NBC's "Quantum Leap".

 When Arnetia Walker learned there was going to be a Los Angeles company of
 the hit musical, "Dreamgirls", she flew to New York to audition for a part.
 Michael Bennet cast her in the starring role of Lorrell Robinson, and she
 went on to perform in the production's national tour.

 GARY SCHWARTZ plays the Tall Thug with a Canadian accent.  The inflection
 was a holdover from his last job - three frozen months slogging through
 the primordial ooze of the Ontario wilderness - co-starring as Rouka the
 Fire-Keeper in the award-winning feature, "Quest For Fire".

 On television, Gary's had a co-starring role on Hallmark's "Zoobilee Zoo"
 as the comical Bravo Fox, actor/impressario extraordinaire; was a featured
 guest on two editions of "Faerie Tale Theatre"; is a series regular on The
 Disney Channel's "You and Me, Kid"; and has most recently starred in
 several episodes of "Super Mario Brothers".  His face and voice may be
 recognized in many TV commercials and music videos.

 Gary Schwartz' other activities include juggling, mime, and performing
 with his partner Caleb Chung in the highly-acclaimed comedy team,
 "Schwartz and Chung".  He is also an associate and coach at the Spolin
 Theater Games Center, offering workshops in improvisation.

                               *   *   *

 FRANK LaLOGGIA plays the Short Thug with an East L.A. accent.  A native
 of Rochester, New York, Frank is an excellent example of a multi-talent.
 An accomplished actor, he has performed in more than thirty stage
 productions; starred in three television pilots, "Salt & Pepe", "Mixed
 Nuts", and "Snavely"; and played piano in the Valley to make ends meet.

 An award-winning filmmaker, LaLoggia has written, produced, directed and
 scored such short films as "Gabriel", "Willowpoint", and "The Clown and
 the Light".  His work has earned him the prestigious Cine-Eagle Award
 from Washington, D.C., the Atlanta Filmfest Gold Medal, and many others.

 Frank LaLoggia has directed, written, produced, and composed the score
 for two critically-acclaimed feature films - "Fear No Evil", and the
 haunting classic, "Lady In White".  He is currently in pre-production
 on his feature epic, "The Giant" - the story of Michelangelo's creation
 of the statue of David.

 WILL RYAN is the voice of the unions - all of them, as well as all of the
 on-screen union officials.  Singer, composer, writer, filmmaker and
 artist, Will hails from Cleveland, Ohio, where his "Willio and Phillio"
 baroque music and comedy team attracted a massive fan following.  Fleeing
 to Los Angeles, Ryan began a long relationship with the Walt Disney Co.,
 writing countless original songs for records, TV and films; and then
 providing voices for many of their characters, including Goofy, Tigger,
 Pegleg Pete, Rabbit, Dale, Willie the Giant, and a gaggle of others.

 In just a few short years, Will has become one of the top voice-over
 actors in Hollywood, most recently performing as featured and well-loved
 characters in Amblin's "American Tale", Lucas/Amblin's "Land Before Time",
 Disney's "Little Mermaid", and Don Bluth's "Rock-a-Doodle".

 Life has imitated art, for shortly after Will Ryan intoned the Voice of
 the President of the United States in WIZARD, he was elected as the
 president of the International Animated Film Society.  An expert in the
 history of animation and film, he is currently compiling the ultimate
 book on "Elmo Aardvark", the foundation character of modern animation.

 ANGELIQUE PETTYJOHN plays Dora Belair, the assistant producer with a dual
 personality.  Though born in Los Angeles and trained in classical ballet,
 she found herself drawn to Las Vegas where she was soon the lead dancer
 in many production shows.  Film roles followed, as she appeared with Elvis
 Presley in "Clambake"; had a featured role with Glenn Ford in "Heaven With
 a Gun"; played a Repo-wife in the cult classic "Repo-Man"; starred in "Bio
 Hazard", and "Mad Doctor of Blood Island" with John Ashley; and many more.

 Angelique's favorite TV appearances include a recurring role in "Get
 Smart", as special agent Charlie Watkins (an amazing expert at disguise).
 But probably her most memorable guest-star role was as Shahna, the spear-
 carrying love interest of Captain Kirk, in the "Gamesters of Triskelion"
 episode of "Star Trek".

 A talented jewelry and costume designer, Miss Pettyjohn provided her own
 special outfits for her role in WIZARD (as well as her fiance, as the
 Unknown Producer).  Currently in Las Vegas, she is readying her sexy-
 comedy mindreading act for the nightclub and showroom circuits.

                               *   *   *

 BEN KRONEN, who portrays the studio mogul, C.C. de Schwartz, has appeared
 in hundreds of stage shows in little theater and summer stock in the
 Northwest.  He began working in radio in 1940, alongside top New York
 personalities; ran the Armed Forces radio station in New Guinea, during
 WWII; and returned to Pennsylvania to direct many radio and stage
 productions.

 Coming to Hollywood in 1957, Kronen became involved in numerous features,
 including "Vice Squad", "Dreamscape", "Fear City" and "Dr. Detroit".  He's
 appeared in commercials for MacDonald's, Sears, United Airlines, Coca Cola
 and many others; and Ben's TV work includes roles in "General Hospital",
 "Eight is Enough", "Sanford and Son", and "ArchieBunker's Place".

                               *   *   *

 THE RIOT ACT is a virtually indescribable group of five wildly talented
 comedians - Chuck McCollum, Rob Reed, Amy Rose, Mark Conlon, and Pat
 McGreal (code-name: C.R.A.M.P.).  Combining writing, producing, directing,
 composing, graphic arts and telecommunications, the group burst upon the
 entertainment scene in 1983, playing universities and clubs in Los
 Angeles, and soon, throughout the Free World.  Next on their agenda is
 playing throughout the Generously Paying World.

 The four men recently portrayed "The Fiber Guys" in a series of acclaimed
 commercials.  And all five talents played the Sun and her Planets, in
 WIZARD's studio dance extravaganzas, as well as voice-overing numerous
 individuals, objects, and entire mobs in the feature soundtrack.

 Producer Deven (and Composer John) were reluctant to have their real
 names used in the movie, or listed on the Actor's Cast list - because
 acting is regarded as "unprofessional" by film industry executives
 (who are probably secretly jealous of not being on camera themselves).
