Announced in January at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, the Stella Artois
Short Film Project invited filmmakers to submit entries to TriggerStreet.com.
Films could be no longer than 10 minutes and were challenged to exemplify the
theme of Sacrifice and/or Perfection. Ten finalists were selected by
TriggerStreet.com and the panel of judges determined the winning film. Visit
www.TriggerStreet.com to view "The Perfect Time."

"'The Perfect Time' demonstrated Mr. Klein's talents and the story resonated
with our panel of judges," said Kevin Spacey, Academy Award-winning actor and
TriggerStreet.com co-founder. "Anyone in the entertainment industry
understands how challenging it is to get a break and we've enjoyed creating an
opportunity for independent filmmakers to demonstrate their creative
abilities."

Kevin Spacey, Dana Brunetti and Stella Artois awarded Klein, a graduate of New
York University's Tisch School of the Arts, the $50,000 prize at a private
reception in New York on November 1. Klein's "The Perfect Time" will
potentially receive additional exposure at various independent film festivals
throughout the year.

"The Stella Artois Short Film Project takes our long-time support of the
independent film industry to the next level by creating opportunities for
filmmakers to pursue their passions," said David Daniels, Stella Artois.
"Congratulations to Mr. Klein on his film and thank you to all the entrants
whose sacrifice and pursuit of perfection was evident in their work."

Stella Artois is a long-time supporter of the independent film industry
through sponsorships of events such as the Sundance Film Festival, CineVegas
and the American Film Institute (AFI) awards.

TriggerStreet.com was founded in 2002 by two-time Academy Award-winner Kevin
Spacey and producer Dana Brunetti as an interactive mechanism to discover and
showcase emerging filmmaking and writing talent. With the legal and attendant
procedural restrictions on outsiders in Hollywood, Spacey and Brunetti sought
to democratize exposure, providing an avenue of communication between
Hollywood and emerging talent everywhere, thereby working to overcome the
barriers they so often encounter.

"It's been really gratifying to be able to provide a venue for talented
filmmakers like Jason to show their work and help them get their foot in the
door to the film industry," said Dana Brunetti, producer and co-founder of
TriggerStreet.com.

Responding to the enthusiasm and high quality of work produced by its
burgeoning film community, TriggerStreet.com evolved as a social networking
utility to provide an evolving platform for emerging artists in different
media: the strength of the peer-based review system and the positive impact of
the resultant constructive criticism catalyzed the addition of several new
specialized communities. Beyond its short film and screenplay sections,
TriggerStreet.com now provides an opportunity for feedback and exposure for
short stories, books, plays and, most recently, comics.

Stella Artois traces its origin back to 1366 to a brewery called Den Hoorn,
located in Leuven, a town just outside of Brussels. In 1717, master brewer
Sebastian Artois purchased the brewery and renamed it to his namesake. The
Artois Brewery created a special brew to celebrate Christmas and named it
Stella (Latin for star) for its exceptional clarity. Today, Stella Artois is
the gold standard for Belgian lagers with its distinctive flavor and spicy hop
character.
