Re:    Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel for Entertainment Technologies & Programs, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") as to which
this opinion is a part, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on March ___, 2002.

     The Registration Statement relates to the offering by the Selling
Stockholders, as listed in the Registration Statement, of 17,083742 of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Shares"), consisting of
(i) 10,423,133 shares of common stock issued at $.08 per share to capital lease
holders who have exchanged their capital leases for common stock; (ii) 4,784,528
shares of common stock issued to 26 shareholders; (iii) 1,000,000 shares of
common stock issuable at $.045 per share upon exercise of warrants held by 2 of
the selling shareholders; and (iv) 876,081 shares of common stock issuable at
$.09 per share upon exercise of consultant's warrants held by 2 of the selling
shareholders.

     In connection with rendering our opinion as set forth below, we have
reviewed and examined originals or copies of such corporate records and other
documents and have satisfied ourselves as to such other matters as we have
deemed necessary to enable us to express our opinion hereinafter set forth.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

          (i)  the Shares (other than the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
     warrants) are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) when
     there has been compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the
     applicable state securities laws and when the Shares issuable upon exercise
     of the warrants have been issued, delivered and paid for upon exercise of
     the warrants in accordance with their terms, the Shares issuable upon
     exercise of the warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and
     nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.


Very truly yours,

/s/  Sonfield & Sonfield
