"BJ" Back Again the court I am sure will hear about this.
Becoming a reporting company and getting off the the pink sheets I hope is a main objective of BSEG in the new year. As we all know it will give the company more respect and create more interest in it's shares. Financial letters that will not even talk about pink sheet stocks will then beable to consider BSEG.
Many investors will not invest in OTC and pink sheet stocks because of being nonreporting and due to a much greater chance of market manipulation due to the minimal regulation of both the issues and the market in general. There is no real-time surveillance of the OTC market unlike the real-time surveillance that occurs on a regulated stock exchange. This lack of surveillance increases the risk of market manipulation.
I hope the cash flow coming from the films that BSEG said will soon be hitting the market will be more then sufficient to embark on a serious buy back of company shares, and are coupled with a reporting status showing good earnings attracting interest in the shares enabling it to move on to a more legitimate stock exchange.
Throwing in a dividend will also help the process.

Momentous weekend for Big Screen Entertainment Group
(OTC:BSEG), two of its upcoming films premiered at the Hollywood
Film Festival.
BSEG's "The Mirror," which was nominated as an official selection
in the Feature Competition, played to a packed crowd on Friday
evening, October 19th. Stephen Eckelberry's dark comedy/mystery looked
spectacular on the big screen of the Arclight Theater.
Afterward, Patron Tequila sponsored "The Mirror" party at the
Beauty Bar in Hollywood, where the film's stars and studio executives
danced into the night.
BSEG's horror film, "Babysitter Wanted," also scared up a great
crowd for its festival screening on October 20th. The positive press
and word of mouth continue to fuel Babysitter's pre-release buzz. Film
Threat.com Magazine had this to say about the Michael Manasseri/Jonas
Barnes frightener:
"They just don't make horror movies like this anymore, and that's
too bad. Gorgeous cinematography and the type of careful plotting,
pacing and on-point elements reminiscent of such classic films as
'Halloween' and 'The Exorcist.' 'Babysitter Wanted' is the film to
watch if you want that good old-fashioned horror film experience.
Babysitting... it's amazing anyone would do that job anymore..."

LA Times: We're losing in Afghanistan too
We're losing in Afghanistan too
September 13, 2007
Contra Donald Rumsfeld's rosy assessment, the country looks a lot like it did on Sept. 10, 2001.
By John Kiriakou and Richard Klein
John Kiriakou, now in the private sector, served as a CIA counter-terrorism official from 1998 to 2004 and recently returned from Afghanistan. Richard Klein, a former State Department official, is managing director for the Middle East and Arabian Gulf at Kissinger McLarty Associates in Washington.
September 13, 2007
Former Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld says in the current edition of GQ magazine that the war in Afghanistan has been "a big success," with people living in freedom and life "improved on the streets."
To anyone working in the country, there is only one possible, informed response: What Afghanistan is the man talking about?
In reality, Afghanistan -- former Taliban stronghold, Al Qaeda haven and warlord-cum-heroin-smuggler finishing school -- feels more and more like Sept. 10, 2001, than a victory in the U.S. war on terrorism.
The country is, plain and simple, a mess. Al Qaeda and its Taliban allies have quietly regained territory, rendering wide swaths of the country off-limits to U.S. and Afghan forces, international aid workers and even journalists. Violent attacks against Western interests are routine. Even Kabul, which the White House has held up as a postcard for what is possible in Afghanistan, has become so dangerous that foreign embassies are in states of lockdown, diplomats do not leave their offices, and venturing beyond security perimeters requires daylight-only travel, armored vehicles, Kevlar and armed escorts.
Fear reigns among average Afghans in Kabul. Street crime, virtually unheard of in Afghan culture, has increased dramatically over the last three years as angry, unemployed and often radicalized young men settle scores with members of other tribes and clans, steal and rob to feed their families and vent their frustration with a government that appears powerless to help them. Taking a chance by eating in one of Kabul's handful of restaurants or going shopping in one of the few markets left is a new version of Russian roulette.
For U.S. officials and diplomats, Kabul is simply a prison. Embassies are completely closed to vehicular and even foot traffic. Indeed, at the American Embassy, the consular section issues visas only to Afghan government officials. If an average Afghan wants a visa to the U.S., he or she must travel to Islamabad, Pakistan, to apply. To allow Afghans to stand in line for visas at the embassy in Kabul would invite terrorist attacks or attract suicide bombers.
Consider that an American Embassy staffer going to the U.S. Agency for International Development office across the street is required to use an underground tunnel that links the two compounds. Even though the street is closed to all traffic other than official U.S. or U.N. vehicles and is patrolled and guarded by armored personnel carriers, tanks and Kalashnikov-carrying security personnel with a safety perimeter of several blocks, the risk from snipers, mortars or grenades is ever present.
Working in Supermax Afghanistan makes the USAID's performance all the more heroic. Since 2003, the agency has overseen the investment of more than $4 billion in Afghanistan, has built more than 500 schools and an equal number of clinics and has paved more than 1,000 miles of roads, all while suffering about 130 casualties at the hands of the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
By some measures, Afghanistan should be a feel-good story by now -- the Taliban is, officially at least, out of power, Al Qaeda has been chased to the wilds of the Afghan-Pakistani border and U.S. forces are on hand to consolidate and solidify a peaceful new order.
But the truth is very different. By any measure, this remains a "hot" war with a well-armed, motivated and organized enemy. Village by village, tribe by tribe and province by province, Al Qaeda is coming back, enforcing a form of Islamic life and faith rooted in the 12th century, intimidating reformers, exacting revenge and funding itself with dollars from massive poppy cultivation and heroin smuggling. As Al Qaeda reestablishes itself, Osama bin Laden remains free to send video messages and serve as an ideological beacon to jihadis worldwide. The country's president, Hamid Karzai, meanwhile, is in effect little more than the mayor of Kabul.
The war in Afghanistan is a political and military one-step-forward-two-steps-back exercise. The work there isn't just unfinished, it is more dangerous and less certain than policymakers in Washington and talking heads in New York studios can imagine. Those suggesting otherwise are either naive or flacking a political agenda.
John Kiriakou, now in the private sector, served as a CIA counter-terrorism official from 1998 to 2004 and recently returned from Afghanistan. Richard Klein, a former State Department official, is managing director for the Middle East and Arabian Gulf at Kissinger McLarty Associates in Washington.
What Happened!!! Allan Greenspan!!!
NEIL REYNOLDS
From Friday's Globe and Mail
October 5, 2007 at 6:02 AM EDT
Ottawa ˜ Superficially, it appears prudent to use surplus federal revenue to pay down the national debt. Thus, superficially, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty appear prudent in directing this year's surplus revenue ($15-billion) to the national debt ($414-billion).
But novel concerns now arise. Surpluses are growing inexorably larger. Will we pay down the debt too fast? What happens when we pay it down completely? How will our economy change when government bonds disappear? Former U.S. Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan, in his memoirs, tells an instructive and relevant tale - revealing his private apprehension, only five years ago, that the U.S. was paying down its debt much too quickly.
"Strange as it may appear in hindsight," Mr. Greenspan relates in his autobiography, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World, "the issue that loomed large for the [Fed] in January, 2001, was the disappearance of the national debt."
"A decade of rising productivity growth and budget discipline had put the U.S. government in a position to generate surpluses as far as the eye could see," Mr. Greenspan says, reversing the metaphor used by U.S. President Ronald Reagan's budget director two decades earlier to describe the prospect of federal deficits.
"The Congressional Budget Office was getting ready to revise its projection of the surplus to a stunning $5.6-trillion [U.S.] over the next 10 years."
The bipartisan CBO had determined indeed that the U.S. would pay down all of its payable debt within six years - even with allowance for a couple of recessions along the way.
"I felt an odd sense of loss," Mr. Greenspan recalls.
"The economic model I carried around in my head seemed obsolete. Congress was not spending money faster than the Treasury could take it in. Had human nature changed?" His colleagues at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the board of directors of the Fed, were disoriented, too. The Fed's primary mechanism for influencing monetary policy was the buying and selling of government bonds - "Uncle Sam's IOUs." How could the Fed operate without them? The Fed had no answer to this question.
By CBO calculation, the U.S. government would make its final debt payment in 2006 and then accumulate $500-billion in surplus revenue every year thereafter.
"As I contemplated this prospect, I felt stunned," Mr. Greenspan says. The anticipated annual surplus was an enormous amount of money - equivalent to the combined assets of the five largest U.S. pension funds, piling up each year.
What would the country do with all this money? Where could it be invested? Who would control it? "I found myself imagining American government officials as the world's largest investors," Mr. Greenspan says. "I found the idea very scary."
The prospect had first arisen two years earlier when President Bill Clinton proposed investing $700-billion in Social Security funds in the stock market - theoretically protected from political interference. Mr. Greenspan dissented, telling Mr. Clinton that he did not believe it was feasible to insulate such huge funds from government meddling. "I could readily envision the abuses that might occur," he said, "under a Richard Nixon or a Lyndon Johnson."
"I finally came to a stark realization that chronic surpluses could be almost as destabilizing as chronic deficits," Mr. Greenspan says. "I decided to propose a way for Uncle Sam to pay off his debts - but in a way that left no surplus revenues to invest once the debt reached zero." The obvious way to do it was with tax cuts that would put the U.S. on a "glide path" to balanced budgets and zero debt. Thus, when President George W. Bush took office at this very moment - in January, 2001 - Mr. Greenspan championed the Republicans' proposal for a broadly based, $1.3-trillion tax cut.
"I was willing to be optimistic," Mr. Greenspan says. "The tax cut would work down the surpluses before they became dangerous. And, were the economy to stall, it could prove serendipitous." This is what happened. Within months, government revenue was shrinking - reflecting, in the short term, the fall of equity markets and, in the longer term, the rise of deficit spending to finance the high cost of waging war against global terrorism.
In some ways, the CBO analysis that tormented Mr. Greenspan now applies to Canada. Our federal surpluses continue to rise inexorably and could well reach $30-billion a year or more. It would be prudent for Mr. Flaherty to put Canada on its own "glide path." It would be prudent for him to use broad-based tax cuts to reduce the surpluses and to protect against recession. It would be prudent for him to slow the process of paying off the national debt.

While we wait for this to happen, to be able to buy shares in this great growth company at such unbelievably low prices relative to their asset value and earnings is a real gift and fantastic opportunity for those looking to add to their positions or initiate a position.
This is a rare event for investors, one that they should absolutely take advantage of if they are able to do so. Only by recognizing such opportunities will an investor be successful in the stock market.
You would be doing your family, friend's and associates a big favor by sharing this great investment opportunity with them particularly at this time with all the fantastic things taking place, results of which we shall be seeing in the not to distant future.
Over the past year and a half I have been doing that, made a bit difficult because of BSEG being a non reporting pink sheet company, but some did and are currently for the most part pleased with the investment results.
I even contacted a Canadian investment news letter that searches for low priced undervalued companies with good earnings like BSEG.
Until BSEG is off the pink sheets and is a reporting company, they will not give any consideration to recommending it to their subscribers. Hopefully soon, BSEG will become reporting off the pink sheets and receive the recognition it deserves.
In the meantime investors with faith in BSEG's future have a great investment opportunity to take advantage of.

Previous message should read 91.2 cents per share. Moderator if you can make the correction please delete this message.
With an asset value of .912 cents per share ( 50,079,655 shares outstanding ) based on equity worth 45,682,971 million dollars after deducting liabilities, and net earnings of 3.8 cents a share, BSEG is one hell of an undervalued company.
Imagine what Big Screen Entertainment Group's cash flow will be when BabySitter Wanted, The Mirror And Forget About It hit the market.
Plus their Video Game Company and the potential of their online magazine. Wow!! the future sure looks bright for BSEG and it's shareholders.
If they keep up their current momentum in bringing out new and even better film productions, develop their online magazine to realize it's potential utilizing the plans they have for it plus their very promising Video Game Company, this company has the potential to be extremely rewarding for it's shareholders.
I believe the release of their financials will show BSEG is run extremly well getting the most out of every dollar spent. What they have been able to accomplish to date is truly remarkable and proves the dedication the management and staff have to Big Screen Entertainment Group.
I consider myself more as an investor then a speculator, so for me to invest in such a pink sheet company as BSEG I set the bar high. I have spoken to the management several times and have met with them and seen their dedication first hand, I was convinced of the worthiness of investing in it's shares.
Every investment carries with it a degree of risk, but the potential in BSEG I feel far outweighs it.
History has shown me that BSEG, particularily after the announced deal with LionsGate regarding BSEG's film BabySitter Wanted ( which has been receiving such stellar reviews ) has the potential to raise the stock price to $3.00 in the intermediate future ( 3 to 6 months ) in my opinion.
The resulting cash flow from a successful release plus monies from other planned releases will enable them to more fully develop their other media enterprises to the benefit of it's investors. Their also stated intention to be a dividend paying company sharing cash flow with investors should raise the shares to even higher levels.
Trading at 15 cents waiting for the financials to be posted by the end of the business day PST.
Up 2 to 13 cents on large volume, setting the stage for the release of the BSEG financials on Tuesday August 7th.
Time for the market to discover this diamond in the rough and make it shine.
Investors are starting to get the message, higher share price on much larger volume.
BSEG shares ready for take off!! Steady today at 9.7 cents.
BSEG chart is looking better. Shares are up from 9 cents to close at 9.7 cents on improving volume.
I didn't miss the buy on BSEG Johnny Z it was smurfgizmo that said he did in message #2101.
Anyone who has done research on BSEG knows it is a screaming buy at these levels.
Rosslyn is Director of Marketing and Publicity for BSEG as well as handling phone enquires from Investors. This causes her to be very busy at times, making it difficult to handle all Investor enquires.
When you are able to connect with her, you find she is very personable and informative.
BSEG runs a very tight operation using it's human resourses in the most cost effective way as it does with other aspects of it's operation.
I give them credit for trying to accomplish a lot with every dollar being spend. Not only have they been successful in producing films that will soon be marketed and launched a Video Game division plus their BiggerVU Online Magazine, they also have on occasion being buying back BSEG stock.
Truly remarkable achievements for a company of this size. One can just imagine what BSEG can accomplish with more money at their disposal.
With the soon to be released audited financial statements on their web site, which the company feels will show it's shares to be currently trading at a very under valued price..
This is one company Investors should keep on their radar screens.
As I stated in my last post the way to connect with the company is by becoming a member of their Investors Forum. That is the best way to keep up with what is going on in BSEG and to share your thoughts with them.
Rosslyn Hornsby who handles Investor Relations has been off work due to illness for almost two weeks.
I suggest you go to the BSEG web site and become a member of their Investors Forum to obtain more information about the company. It is the only company that I know of that has such a feature.
The management and staff are very ambitious, trying to accomplish a lot, which is a big reason for not always meeting the dead lines they post.
Industry response to Baby Sitter Wanted suggests it could be a big hit. Their other release Dirty Love did well in DVD sales and rentals.
Few are willing to sell at the current bid only higher bids will bring out more shares.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMBERLEY KATES!!
Not if he has any brains, because there comes a time when people really say enough is enough, and do take some real action.
hiflyer14, I am happy you got out in time, who knows it could recover some what in the morning, They usually do before they grap out for good, but after the hit it took I am not so sure.
I don't have an opinion on the company because I don't follow it, and do not intent to, I don't want any more stocks on my watch list.
hiflyer14, I hope you got out before this FHAL rocket started to descend to earth.
The time to get on a rocket is before launch time not after it has gone into the ski. BSEG is sitting on the launch ready for it to soar in the fall.
hyflyer14, I hope you can hang in there at least as far as BSEG is concerned. Better days I feel are definitely ahead for the company, in the fall it should really start to shine.
I hope everything goes well with you, and you see a dramatic improvement in your fortunes.
This is only the begining, much more to come!!
http://www.biggervu.com
It is now my home page one day it will be the home page of millions of people in the world.
The BSEG cake is just being baked right now, the icing will be put on it in the fall. Then will come the sparklers making everyone of it's investors eyes light up with joy.
BSEG is doing real well in a stock market that really sucks right now.
Things are coming together very nicely for Big Screen Entertainment Group. Upcoming releases like Forget About It winning a best film of festival award, plus the reception The Mirror and Lightfields Home Videos are receiving from the film industry. Cash flow coming from releases this fall should move BSEG to higher levels.
Cash flow currently coming into the company, has enabled it to make some very positive moves benefiting it's shareholders.
Current capital appreciation in the shares seems to indicate some investors are beginning to see the potential in Big Screen Entertainment Group.
