                  The parties hereby agree as follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT; TERM.

                  (a) The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions contained in
this Agreement. The term of Executive's employment hereunder (the "Employment
Period") shall commence on July 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date") and shall

unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

                  (b) The Employment Period may be extended for two (2)
successive one year periods by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto.
If either party intends not to renew this Agreement upon the expiration of the
Employment Period then in effect, such party shall give the other party notice
of such intention not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of such
Employment Period.

                  (c) Should the Employment Period then in effect be terminated
by reason of discontinuation of the Company's business, Executive shall be
entitled to not less than six (6) months notice of the Company's intention and
upon conclusion of the Executive's Employment Period, any non competition
restrictions provided for in this Agreement shall be void.

         2. DUTIES.

                  (a) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the
President of the Company (or in such other capacity as is mutually agreed upon
from time to time), with the duties and, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
powers, customarily associated with such position, at its principle place of
business in the Vancouver area. Executive shall report directly to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). Executive shall faithfully perform
for the Company the duties of Executive's office and such other duties as may be
designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
consistent with Executive's position as the President (or in such other capacity

to the performance of Executive's duties to the Company hereunder.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 2(a) above, Executive shall be permitted to engage in the management of
Executive's personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do

Executive's duties and responsibilities to the Company, as determined by the
Board.

         3. COMPENSATION.

                  (a) The Company shall pay to Executive an initial salary at an
annual rate of Cdn.$260,000. The salary payable pursuant to this Section 3 (the
"Base Salary") shall be payable in accordance with the Company's payroll
practices, as in effect from time to time. The Base Salary shall be subject to a
review at the conclusion of each year of the term of this Agreement and, as a
result thereof, may be increased (but not decreased) at the sole discretion of
the Board. The base salary paid to you shall be subject to deduction of the
amounts required by law to be deducted and those authorized by you.

                  (b) In addition the Company shall pay to Executive an
additional amount equal to 10 percent of the pre-tax profit from the Company
less the Base Salary for a given year. The calculation for such bonus shall take
into account the allocations of revenue made between the Company and the
Corporation so as to maximize the revenues of the Corporation, and such revenues
shall be added back into the bonus calculation. Such bonus shall be paid
annually within forty-five (45) days from the anniversary of the commencement of
Executive's employment.

                  (c) In addition to Executive's Base Salary, the Company may
grant to Executive a bonus or bonuses as further compensation and in special
recognition of Executive's services to the Company. Any such bonus or bonuses
may be granted at the sole discretion of the Board and at such times and in such
manner as the Board may deem appropriate. The Company shall no less frequently
than annually consider the propriety of a discretionary bonus.

                  (d) In addition, while the Executive is employed or within a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Executive's termination from
employment, the Company or the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an
additional amount of 10% of the sale amount of the Company in excess of the
Company's retained earning in the event that the Company is sold.

         4. STOCK OPTION GRANT. Executive shall be granted an employee stock
option from the Corporation's 1999 Non-US Stock Option Plan to purchase 150,000
shares of the Corporation at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the shares of the Corporation on the Commencement Date, such options to vest at
the rate of 1/24 of such shares per month. As a senior member of the
Corporation's management, Executive shall be entitled to participate further in
the Corporation's 2000 Non-U.S. stock option plan, if instituted, at a level
consistent with the other key executives of the Corporation, subject to the
discretion of the Board or its duly appointed Option Committee.

         5. EXPENSES; BENEFITS.

                  (a) During the Employment Period, the Company agrees promptly
to reimburse Executive, in accordance with the Company's policies, for all
reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Executive in connection with the
performance of Executive's duties for the Company hereunder upon presentation of
evidence in form of receipts satisfactory to the Company substantiating claimed
expenditures.

                  (b) During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled
to the number of paid vacation days in each calendar year determined by the
Company from time to time for its


                                       2

senior executive officers, but not less than 20 days in any calendar year
(prorated in any calendar year during which the Executive is employed under this
Agreement for less than the entire year such in accordance with the number of
days in such calendar year during which he is also employed). Subject to the
preceding sentence, as a senior executive of the Company the Executive shall be
entitled to customary flexibility in using such vacation time without strict
regard to the actual accrual of vacation. Executive shall also be entitled to
all paid holidays given to the Company's senior executive officers.

                  (c) During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled
to participate in and enjoy the benefits of any health, life, disability,
retirement, pension, profit-sharing, group insurance, or other similar plan or
plans which may be instituted by the Company for the benefit of its senior
executive staff employees generally, upon such terms as may be therein provided.
Company will reimburse employee for expenses of medical, dental and vision
insurance covering both employee and dependents until such date as Company
provides such coverage through a company plan.

                  (d) The Company shall pay to the Executive on a
non-accountable basis, a fixed sum of Cdn.$900 per month as an automobile
allowance. Such payment shall be subject to any required deductions and
withholdings.

                  (e) The Company shall pay the Executive's relocation expenses
from Toronto, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia up to the amount of
Cdn.$75,000 upon presentation of evidence in form of receipts satisfactory to

expenses are less than $75,000, the Company shall pay the Executive the
difference as a signing bonus.

                  (f) Executive will be provided with, or reimbursed for, the

         Executive or inconsistent with Executive's qualifications and if (a)
         Executive thereafter notifies the Company in writing of the fact that
         the Employee believes such has occurred, describing with reasonable

         assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company;

                           (iii) Executive's relocation to any place other than

                  (b) Upon the termination by the Company of Executive's

employment under this Agreement, or if the Executive terminates such Employment
For Cause pursuant to Section 6(c), then upon either such event the Company or
the Corporation shall continue at its sole expense to provide the Executive and
his family with such medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage as the

         8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  (a) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that during the
course of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall have access
to Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all information or
material not publicly known about the Company or relating to any of its

but is not limited to, the following types of information and other information
of a similar nature (whether or not reduced to writing): trade secrets,
inventions, drawings, file data, documentation, diagrams, specifications,
know-how, processes, formulas, models, flow charts, software in various stages
of development, source codes, object codes, research and development procedures,
test results, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development
plans, price lists, pricing policies, business plans, information relating to

financial information and projections and employee files. Confidential
Information also includes any information described above which the Company
obtains from another party and which the Company treats and/or has an obligation
to treat as proprietary or designates as Confidential Information, whether or
not owned or developed by the Company. Confidential Information shall not
include any information which is or becomes (i) generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement, or
(ii) generally known in the industry in which the Company is or may become
involved other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement.
(The term "Company," as used in this Section 8, means not only


                                       6
<PAGE>

InternetStudios.com, Inc., but also any company, partnership or entity which,
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with InternetStudios.com, Inc.)

                  (b) Both during the Employment Period and at all times
thereafter, all Confidential Information which Executive may obtain during the
Employment Period, or may create prior to the end of the Employment Period will
be held confidential by Executive, and Executive will not (nor will Executive
assist any other person to do so), directly or indirectly, (i) reveal, report,
publish or disclose such Confidential Information to any person, firm,
corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever
(other than in the course of carrying out Executive's duties hereunder or as
expressly authorized by the Company), (ii) render any services to any person,
firm, corporation, association or other entity to whom any such Confidential
Information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be
disclosed by or at the instance of Executive, or (iii) use such Confidential
Information except for the benefit of the Company and in the course of
Executive's employment with the Company; provided, however that the foregoing
will not apply to the extent Executive is required to disclose any Confidential
Information by applicable law or legal process so long as Executive promptly
notifies the Company of such pending disclosure and consults with the Company
prior to such disclosure concerning the advisability of seeking a protective
order or other means of preserving the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information.

                  (c) All memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents
(and all copies thereof) constituting Confidential Information made or compiled
by Executive or made available to Executive during the Employment Period shall
be the Company's property, shall be kept confidential in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8 and shall be delivered to the Company at any time
on request and in any event upon the termination of Executive's employment with
the Company for any reason.

         9. COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION; NON-SOLICITATION. Executive covenants
and agrees that:

                  (a) During the Non-Compete Period (as hereinafter defined),
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, in any Geographic Area (as
hereinafter defined): (i) engage for Executive's own account in any business
directly competitive with the Company Business (as hereinafter defined); (ii)
render ANY services that are the same to those provided by the Executive while
employed with the Company, in any capacity to any person or entity (other than
the Company or its Affiliates) engaged in any business directly competitive with
the Company Business; or (iii) acquire an interest in any person or entity
engaged in any business directly or competitive with the Company Business (other
than the Company) as a partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee,
principal, manager, member, agent, trustee, consultant or in any other
relationship or capacity; provided, however, Executive may own, directly or
indirectly, solely as a passive investment, securities of any such entity which
are traded on any national securities exchange if Executive (A) is not a
controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity, and
(B) does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent or more of any class of
securities of such entity.

                  (b) During the Non-Compete Period, Executive shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly,
knowingly solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or


                                       7
<PAGE>

any of its Affiliates within one year of the termination of such employee's
employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or solicit any customer,
client or account of the Company for business directly competitive with the
Company Business.

                  (c) During any portion of the Non Compete Period during which
Executive is not employed by the Company, Executive shall not, in any Geographic
Area, directly or indirectly, knowingly solicit or encourage any customer or
client of the Company to engage, for business directly competitive with the
Company Business, the services of Executive or any person or entity (other than
the Company) in which Executive is a partner, shareholder, director, officer,
employee, principal, member, manager, agent, trustee, consultant or engaged in
any other relationship or capacity;

                  (d) If any provision of Sections 8 or 9 (the "Restrictive
Covenants") are held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, area of
its applicability or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that the
court making such determination shall modify such scope, duration or area, or
all of them, and that such provision shall then be applicable in such modified
form. Executive hereby waives any and all right to attack the validity of the
Restrictive Covenants on the grounds of breadth of their geographic scope or the
length of their term.

                  (e) As used herein:

                           (i) "Affiliate" shall mean any entity directly or
         indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
         Company and any entity in which the Company is a general partner,
         member, manager or holder of greater than a 10% common equity,
         partnership or membership interest.

                           (ii) "Company Business" shall mean the financing of
         feature films and television by use of the Internet in conjunction with
         and in support of on-line sales of filmed entertainment.

                           (iii) "Geographic Area" shall mean the countries of
         the world where the Company has engaged in Company Business.

                           (iv) "Non-Compete Period" shall mean the period of
         one year following the termination, pursuant to Sections 6(b) and 6(d)
         herein, of Executive's employment with the Company. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, the Non-Compete Period shall end immediately if, during
         the twelve-month period following the Executive's termination from
         employment, upon any resolution being passed or any action or
         proceeding is taken with respect to the liquidation, dissolution or
         wind up, of the Company or the Corporation.

         10. ENFORCEMENT BY INJUNCTION. Since the Company will be irreparably
damaged if the provisions of Sections 8 or 9 are not specifically enforced, the
Company shall be entitled to (i) an injunction or any other appropriate decree
of specific performance (without the necessity of posting any bond or other
security in connection therewith) restraining any violation or non-fulfillment
of Executive's covenants under Sections 8 or 9, (ii) damages in an amount equal
to all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits
derived or received by Executive (or any associated party deriving such
benefits) as a result of any such breach of


                                       8
<PAGE>

Executive's covenants under Sections 8 or 9. Such remedies shall not be
exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy, at law or in equity,
which the Company may have for any breach or threatened breach of Sections 8 or
9 by Executive.

         11.  NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE DAMAGES; NO EFFECT ON OTHER CONTRACTUAL
RIGHTS.

                  (a) Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the
amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under
this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result
of employment by another employer after the termination of Executive's
employment, or otherwise.

                  (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided
for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way
diminish Executive's existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a
result of the passage of time, under any benefit or incentive plan or
arrangement, plan or arrangement to receive securities of the Company,
employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement of the Company.

         12. SUCCESSORS.

                  (a) The Company and the Corporation will require any successor
or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company
or the Corporation by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive,
to expressly, absolutely and unconditionally assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company and the
Corporation would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment
had taken place. Any failure of the Company or the Corporation to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall
be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to terminate
Executive's employment as provided for in Section 6 hereof. As used in this
Agreement, the "Company" and the "Corporation" shall mean the Company and the
Corporation as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assign to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided
for in this Section 12 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

                  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Executive's personal and legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If
Executive should die while any amounts are still payable to Executive hereunder,
all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement to Executive's devisee, legatee, or other
designee or, if there be no such designee, to Executive's estate.

                  (c) In the event of a liquidation of the Company or the
Corporation, the payments to the Executive provided for hereunder shall be made
forthwith and before any property or asset of the Company is distributed to any
holder of Common Stock.

         13. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications required or
permitted to be given under any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to

have been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by first class

         14. INDEMNIFICATION TO EMPLOYEE. The Company shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Executive against expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees, judgments, claims, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred) in connection with any proceedings
arising by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was an officer,
consultant, representative, or agent of the Company and was performing his
duties in accordance with this Agreement or was acting in accordance with the
directions of the Board of Directors of the Company; provided however, that the
Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Executive for such expenses,
judgments, claims, fines, settlements or other amounts which are finally
judicially determined to have resulted from illegal, bad faith or knowingly
fraudulent conduct on the part of the Executive or the Executive's knowing and
intentional violation of third party rights. The Company shall advance to the
Executive the expenses incurred in defending any such proceedings to the maximum
extent provided by law; provided however, that the Executive is not entitled to
indemnification in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Company's
obligations under this Section shall not cease upon termination of this
Agreement.

         15. LEGAL FEES. (a) In the event that any legal action is required to
enforce Executive's rights under this Agreement, Executive, if the prevailing
party, shall be entitled to recover from the Company any expenses for attorneys'
fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by Executive and other fees and
expenses incurred by the Executive. (b) The Company shall directly pay the
attorney's fees and disbursements reasonably incurred on behalf of the Executive
in the review and execution of this Management Agreement.

         16. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any controversy
as to the arbitrability of any dispute) shall be settled exclusively by
arbitration to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, before a single
arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the British Columbia International
Commercial Arbitration Center then in effect. Each party will bear its own fees
and expenses in connection with the arbitration and 50% of the fees and expenses
of the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Center and the cost
of any transcript, subject to the provisions of Section 15. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction, and the
parties consent to the jurisdiction of the British Columbia courts for that
purpose.

         17. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified,
amended or terminated except by a written agreement signed by all of the parties
hereto.

                  (b) No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
and signed by Executive and the Company. No waiver by a party hereto at any time
of any breach by another party hereto


                                       10
<PAGE>

of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be
performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions.

                  (c) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid
or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable
any other severable provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
carried out as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained
herein, unless the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision
substantially impairs the benefits of the remaining portions of this Agreement.

                  (d) The section headings contained herein are for the purposes
of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of said
sections.

                  (e) This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed one original.

                  (f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that could cause the
application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

                  (g) This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies
upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual

agree and declare as follows:

         1. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Executive's employment is terminated

                           (1) It will not be a violation of this Agreement for
Executive to disclose Confidential Information to Executive's attorneys, spouse,
accountants, or tax planners, provided that if Executive discloses Confidential
Information to any such person, Executive must simultaneously inform that person
that the person must keep the information strictly confidential and that the
person may not disclose the information to any other person without the advance
written consent of Executive and the Company. Any disclosure of Confidential
Information by any such person will be considered a disclosure by Executive.

                  (2) It will not be a violation of this Agreement for the
Company to disclose Confidential Information to its attorneys, auditors,

officers, shareholders, employees, representatives, other agents who have a
legitimate reason to obtain Confidential Information in the course of performing
their duties or responsibilities for the Company, others in connection with the
Company's business, as required by law, and to the extent the Company deems such
disclosure necessary or advisable in connection with it disclosures or reports
or under applicable securities laws, other laws, and accounting principles.

                  (3) It will not be a violation of this Agreement for a party
to give truthful testimony in response to direct questions asked pursuant to an
enforceable court order obtained after providing notice to the other party,
which order pays due regard to the concerns for confidentiality expressed by the
parties herein.

         4. NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not disparage, defame, or besmirch

suggest to any potential claimants or plaintiffs or their attorneys or agents
that they initiate claims or lawsuits against the Company or any of its
affiliates, divisions, parent corporations, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees, agents, successors, or assigns, nor will Executive voluntarily aid,
assist or cooperate with any such claims, or lawsuits; provided, however, that
this paragraph will not be


                                       2
<PAGE>

construed to prevent Executive from giving truthful testimony in response to
direct questions asked pursuant to a lawful subpoena during any future legal
proceedings.

take twenty-one (21) calendar days to decide whether to sign this Agreement.

admission that any person or entity violated any local, state or federal
ordinance, regulation, ruling, statute, rule of decision, or principle of common
law, or that any person or entity engaged in any improper or unlawful conduct or
wrongdoing. Executive will not characterize this Agreement or the payment of any

authority to enter into this Agreement, and that Executive has not assigned any
Claims to any person or entity.

         15. INVALIDITY. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, such a determination will not affect the validity,
legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and

enforceable.

matters, and this Agreement and the Management Agreement supersede any

and thereof, except where expressly specified herein or therein. Neither party
