Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC: BSEG) is excited to distribute an exciting new sci-fi thriller, Singularity Principle. The very recent preeminent discovery of gravitational waves rippling through the cosmic explosion known as the Big Bang has physicists suggesting the reality of the Multiverse, a universe made up of many universes. It's done though an elementary particle called an inflaton that pushes space-time apart at incredibly high velocities. Gravity, an attractive force, is now turned on it's head to be a repulsive force with inflatons effectively blowing infinitely new universes into existence.
This Multiverse is the very topic of Singularity Principle, and explores the consequences of renegade experiments into the Multiverse. Co-written and directed with Austin Hines by physicist Dr. David Deranian, the film pays particular attention to accurate scientific detail and uses the fascinating science of parallel universes to bring audiences a story that will both illuminate and entertain.
The story focuses on the disappearance of noted physicist Professor Jack Brenner (John Diehl of Star Gate) during a fateful experiment to create and manipulate a parallel universe. An agent of a clandestine Black-Ops Agency, Dr. Lawrence Cason (William B. Davis aka the Cigarette Smoking Man of X-Files) interrogates Jack's protégé, Dr. Peter Tanning (Michael Denis of Fringe) about his replication of the experiment and to find out what happened to Jack Brenner.
Singularity Principle will begin its VOD release in May, 2014 on Dish Network, iTunes and Amazon with a DVD release to follow.

Big Screen Entertainment Group (BSEG:PK) is pleased to announce a successful limited theatrical opening of its film CRIMSON WINTER. With over 18 showings, the film drew capacity crowds and sold out the first few nights to an excellent reception. BSEG and production company, Interwoven Studios intends on expanding CRIMSON into several more markets over the next month in conjunction with a release on DISH networks, VOD platforms and DVD.
Critics heralded first time director, Bryan Ferriter as one to watch. Some of the reviews:
“Thanks to Montana's dramatic scenery, CRIMSON WINTER looks fantastic — all moody, high-contrast cinematography reminiscent of Game Of Thrones. Helicopter shots sweep above stark, windy landscapes. Dark blood spatters against white snow. Candelight flickers on high-cheekboned faces, and characters stride around mountainsides in sharply tailored coats. Muscular dudes and beautiful women gratuitously remove shirts. The use of unusual
perspectives and lighting is masterful; Ferriter and his production team, Interwoven Studios, show real talent here.”
Additionally, the soundtrack has received critical acclaim and has recently been nominated for a best sci-fi/fantasy soundtrack award alongside major contenders such as The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, Gravity, Pacific Rim and Oblivion. The soundtrack has been lauded as “A Vampiric delight, & an overall sublime opus from Mr. (William) Piotrowski.” It is currently available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.
