Press Release Summary = Now that Cinematographer,James Chressanthis, ASC has his
second Emmy nomination, is he ready for his spotlight?

Press Release Body = Los Angeles, CA --- Every year, the annual hope for The Emmys
is for the show not to run four hours. But for Cinematographer, James
Chressanthis,ASC the hope is to be sprinting toward a FOUR MINUTES Emmy win for
Outstanding
Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie. This is the second Outstanding
Cinematography Emmy nomination for Chressanthis. His first was for the 2001
biography Life With Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows. Currently, Chressanthis is
Director of Photography and one of the directors of the CBS primetime hit series
Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.

For Chressanthis, FOUR MINUTES became a true labor of love. "As I looked
through the lens I was able to relive some of my most cherished experiences
as a long distance runner," states Chressanthis. "It was so important for me
to get it right: to represent just how difficult, grueling and painful
running at this level is, to convey the joy and exhilaration in the
achievement of pure performance. I wanted to honor and surpass The Loneliness
of the Long Distance Runner, Prefontaine, Without Limits and Chariots of
Fire," he explains.

FOUR MINUTES - an ESPN Original Entertainment (EOE) production - was the
first-ever original movie to premiere on ESPN2. This 'little film that
could' in this year's Emmy race is also nominated for a 2006 ESPY Award as
Best Sports Movie (http://espn.go.com/espy2006/index.html). The film is
about Roger Bannister, who ran the first sub-four-minute mile in history,
with a time of 3:59.4 on May 6, 1954. Bannister, the 25-year-old native of
Harrow, England became a neurologist and the first Chairman of the British
Sports Council and was knighted for these services in 1975.
