                         LASER-PACIFIC MEDIA CORPORATION

                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER


I, James R. Parks, certify that:

     1. I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q of  Laser-Pacific
     Media Corporation;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
     of a material fact or omit to state a material  fact  necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

     3. Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other  financial
     information  included  in this  quarterly  report,  fairly  present  in all
     material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash
     flows of the  registrant  as of, and for,  the  periods  presented  in this
     report;

     4. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e))  for the registrant and we
     have:

               a. Designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused
               such disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under our
               supervision,  to ensure that material information relating to the
               registrant,  including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
               known to us by others within those entities,  particularly during
               the period in which this report is being prepared;

               b. Evaluated the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure
               controls  and   procedures  and  presented  in  this  report  our
               conclusions  about the  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls
               and  procedures,  as of the  end of the  period  covered  by this
               report based on such evaluation; and

               c.  Disclosed  in this  report  any  change  in the  registrant's
               internal  control over financial  reporting that occurred  during
               the  registrant's  most recent fiscal  quarter (the  registrant's
               fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual  report) that has
               materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially
               affect,   the   registrant's   internal  control  over  financial
               reporting; and

     5. The registrant's other certifying  officers and I have disclosed,  based
     on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
     to the registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board
     of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

               a. All significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting
               which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability  to  record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial
               information; and

               b. Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management
               or  other   employees  who  have  a   significant   role  in  the
               registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
