LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2005-- Earthworks Entertainment
(OTCBB:EWKE - News) announced today that it has just completed a multi-million
dollar financing raise for its Z-Force television series. Earthworks CEO, Peter
Keefe, who created the Z-Force property, stated: "The Z-Force TV series
production now moves forward full-throttle. The response to the first completed
Z-Force episode has been tremendous. Our master plan calls for the first 13
episodes to be completed for the coming Fall 2005 season.

"We believe that the Z-Force is far more than just a mega-hit destined kids
entertainment property. We believe that the Z-Force is an empire-builder. I have
never seen a better sell-through opportunity in the US & International market
for this kind of powerfully captivating property. We plan to use the TV series
to launch the Z-Force phenomenon into the 100 billion dollar kids entertainment
consumer marketplace."
