EXHIBIT 10.3

                                LICENSE AGREEMENT
                                -----------------

         THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated the 8th day of September,
2003, between Falcon Picture Group, LLC ("Falcon"), with its principal office at
974 Estes Court, Schaumburg, Illinois 60193 (Attn: Carl Amari), and Genius
Products, Inc. ("Licensee"), with its principal office at 11250 El Camino Real,
Suite 100, San Diego, California 92130 (Attn: Klaus Moeller).

         1. EXCLUSIVE LICENSEE. Except as otherwise provided herein, Falcon
hereby appoints Licensee as Falcon's exclusive licensee for (a) all of Falcon's
existing audio and Digital Video Disc ("DVD") programs as listed on SCHEDULE A,
and all future audio and DVD programs hereafter licensed to Licensee pursuant to
the right of first refusal provisions in Section 3 below (collectively, the
"Licensed Article(s)") in the Territory for sales made through wholesale,
retail, direct-to-consumer and e-commerce channels of trade. Except as otherwise
permitted herein, Falcon agrees that it shall not, at any time during the Term,
directly or indirectly manufacture or produce any of the Licensed Article(s) or
sell or offer to sell any of the Licensed Articles to any person or entity
(other than Licensee) located within the Territory.

         2. EXCLUSIONS FROM LICENSED ARTICLES. The Licensed Articles do not
include the film Madison (which is not owned by Falcon), any program developed
for Critic's Choice or its affiliates and the television series Bozo (which is
covered by a separate agreement between Falcon and Licensee). It is agreed that
the Bozo television series will remain under the current distribution agreement
between Licensee and Falcon and that nothing contained herein will terminate,
replace or supersede that agreement.

         3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. With respect to Falcon's future audio and
DVD programs not existing as of the date of this Agreement, Licensee will have a
right of first refusal to license such programs. Falcon shall first offer such
programs to Licensee, and Licensee shall within a reasonable time either accept
or reject such offer. If Licensee fails to accept or reject such offer promptly,
Falcon may give Licensee a written notice allowing Licensee five (5) days to
either accept or reject such offer. If Licensee rejects or fails to exercise
such right as to any future programs in a timely manner after notice from
Falcon, Falcon may distribute such programs itself or through other parties
without further obligation under this Agreement with respect thereto. To the
extent Falcon presents to Licensee an opportunity to acquire new programs from a
third party, if Licensee exercises its right of first refusal as to such
programs, Licensee must pay any necessary advances, guaranteed payments and
royalties due to that third party licensor, although Licensee may recoup such
amounts against future royalties due to Falcon with respect to sales of such
programs.

         4. BEST EFFORTS BY LICENSEE. Licensee will use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to maximize the sales of the Licensed Articles
throughout the Territory during the Term.

         5. TERM. The term ("Term") of the rights granted to Licensee under this
Agreement shall be effective as of July 1, 2003, for a three-year term with an
automatic renewal for an additional three-year term ("Renewal Term"), subject to
Licensee's fulfilling all of its financial obligations hereunder to Falcon and

Commission.]

Falcon's fulfilling its obligations to provide Licensee with no less than 100
hours of digitally remastered DVD program content per year. At the end of the
Renewal Term, if any, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith regarding the
terms and conditions of a further renewal. This Agreement may be terminated
prior to the expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term pursuant to the
provisions of Article 21.

         6. TERRITORY. The rights granted to Licensee hereunder shall be
exercised solely in the following territory: the United States and Canada
("Territory").

         7. ROYALTIES.

                  (a) ROYALTIES.

                           (i) ROYALTY FEES. Licensee shall pay to Falcon a
                  royalty fee ("Royalty Fee") of ** on all Net Sales, as defined
                  below. With respect to Twilight Zone program sales, in
                  addition to and not in lieu of the ** royalty on all Net
                  Sales Falcon shall be entitled to a further royalty payment
                  equal to ** for each copy of a Twilight Zone program
                  sold by Licensee (E.G., the additional royalty on each
                  4-program pack sold by Licensee would be **).

                           (ii) GUARANTEED MINIMUM ROYALTY FEE. Licensee shall
                  pay to Falcon a minimum yearly guaranteed amount of
                  $240,000.00 against above Royalty Fees ("Guaranteed Minimum
                  Royalty Fee"), payable at a rate of ** at the first of
                  each month, with advance payments as described below. Licensee
                  shall provide monthly royalty statements to Falcon in a form
                  reasonably acceptable to Falcon setting forth all pertinent
                  information needed by Falcon to understand the nature and
                  amount of sales made by Licensee during the prior month so
                  that Falcon can reasonably confirm that the amount of the
                  Royalty Fees reported and paid is accurate, complete and
                  correct. Such royalty statements shall clearly show the
                  application of any credits for advances and guaranteed
                  payments that are being recouped by Licensee for such period.
                  As soon as any advances and guaranteed payments recoupable by
                  Licensee have been recouped, Licensee's monthly reports shall
                  be accompanied by payment in full for all Royalty Fees due to
                  Falcon. For purposes of reporting and paying Royalty Fees to
                  Falcon, sales shall be deemed to occur at the time the time of
                  payment from the customer.

                  (b) ADVANCES. The first ** of the initial Guaranteed Minimum
         Royalty Fee of ** was paid upon the execution of the term sheet between
         the parties dated June 12, 2003, which underlies this Agreement ("Term
         Sheet"). The second ** installment of the initial Guaranteed Minimum
         Royalty Fee shall be paid contemporaneously with the execution this
         Agreement.

                  (c) NET SALES. As used in this Article 7, the term "Net Sales"
         shall mean the Licensee's total gross billings (not including taxes or
         shipping charges) for sales of the Licensed Articles, reduced only by
         normal trade discounts actually taken and credits or refunds actually
         issued for returned or damaged merchandise.

                  (d) BOOKS AND RECORDS. In order for Falcon to verify the
         accuracy and completeness of royalty reports and payments, Licensee
         shall maintain appropriate books and records concerning the sale and
         usage of the Licensed Articles. Falcon may, at Falcon's expense,
         examine the books and records of Licensee from time to time during
         Licensee's normal business hours upon reasonable notice to Licensee,
         but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Statements
         rendered hereunder shall be deemed final if no objections are made by
         Licensor within twenty-four (24) months after the same are issued.
         Should an audit by Falcon reveal a deficiency in any payments due
         Falcon for that audit period(s), Licensee shall bring all payments
         current within ten (10) days of the receipt of written notice from
         Falcon or Falcon shall have the right to:

                            (i) immediately terminate the Agreement and recover
                            all materials provided Licensee by Falcon;

                            (ii) demand Licensee turn over all product and
                            unfilled orders to Falcon and immediately cease all
                            transactions with the property;

                            (iii) commence any legal or equitable action to
                            which the Licensor may be entitled.

         Should an audit discover any deficiency in excess of ten percent (10%)
         of monies paid in that audit period(s), Licensee shall pay all costs
         and fees incurred in the audit along with interest at the rate of 10%
         per annum on the amount due from the date the same became due.

         8. OPTION TO ACQUIRE FALCON. Upon the execution of this Agreement,
Licensee shall issue to Falcon $100,000.000 in Licensee's common stock, par
value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), valued by the average of the closing
market price on the effective date of this Agreement (I.E., July 1, 2003) and
the execution date of this Agreement, for the option to acquire the assets of
Falcon at any time during the three-year period following the execution of this
Agreement ("Option") for a purchase price of $3,600,000.00 ("Purchase Price").
The Common Stock issued in payment of the Option will have customary piggyback
registration rights for registration statements filed by Licensee after the
registration statement currently pending filing. The Purchase Price may be paid
in cash or with Common Stock (or any combination of cash and Common Stock). If
Common Stock is used as the consideration for the purchase of Falcon's assets,
then (i) Licensee must continue to be a publicly-traded company and shall have
filed all necessary and appropriate reports and filings under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange Act"), any applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state
securities law (collectively, the "Securities Laws"), (ii) Licensee shall remain
eligible to promptly register its shares for resale and shall promptly register
such shares for resale, (iii) the transaction shall be structured as a purchase
agreement with a commitment by Licensee to promptly file a registration
statement covering the resale of the shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the
extent possible, at the request of Falcon, the acquisition will be structured as
a tax-free reorganization, and (iv) regardless of the trading price of Common
Stock, in no event will the purchase price be less than 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock. If the foregoing option is not exercised by timely written notice
to Falcon by the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the option
shall expire and no longer be in force or effect.

                                       3

         9. PAYMENT BY COMMON STOCK. All Common Stock issued under the terms of
this Agreement is issued and will be issued (i) subject to the notices provided
in Exhibit 1, (ii) with the understanding that Falcon is an "Accredited
Investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act, and (iii) pursuant to the other acknowledgements and
representations made by Falcon elsewhere in this Agreement.

         10. DELIVERY OF CONTENT/CONTENT OWNERSHIP.

                  (a) DELIVERY OF CONTENT. Upon execution of this Agreement,
         Falcon is to deliver to Licensee its digitally remastered program
         content ("Content") on a mutually agreeable schedule. Licensee commits
         to accept a minimum of 100 hours of Content annually from Falcon, so
         long as the Content delivered meets Licensee's reasonable requirements
         for suitability and quality. Licensee agrees that in the future, its
         standards of suitability and quality will be substantially the same as,
         and consistent with, its standards as exercised through the date hereof
         with respect to Content heretofore delivered to and accepted by Genius.
         Licensee reserves the right to determine the suitability and quality of
         Content received from Falcon prior to acceptance, with such acceptance
         not to be unreasonably withheld and the determination of suitability
         and quality to be made in good faith and on a consistent basis
         throughout the Term.

                  (b) CONTENT OWNERSHIP. Except as otherwise provided in this
         paragraph, Content provided by Falcon will be created for and will be
         deemed to be the property of Licensee, subject in all respects to any
         licensing or licensing-type agreements with third parties, copies of
         which are to be provided to Licensee at or before the time of delivery
         of affected Content. Licensee agrees to honor and abide by all of the
         terms of such license agreements, and to refrain from any activity that
         would cause Falcon to be in breach or default thereof. Following the
         Term or if Licensee fails to fulfill its financial or other obligations
         to Falcon during the Term and the Agreement is terminated, Licensee may
         continue to use all non-Twilight Zone and non-audio Content paid for by
         Licensee prior to the time of termination, but all logos, trademarks,
         titles, etc., provided by Falcon (or by others such as AMC) along with
         or as part of the Content, shall revert to Falcon (or the party to whom
         it belongs). Following termination or expiration hereof, Licensee shall
         continue to report and pay Royalty Fees to Falcon with respect to any
         Content provided to Licensee by Falcon during the Term so long as the
         Brand (defined below) associated with the Content continues in effect
         or is replaced by a new Brand that is acceptable to Licensee, with such
         acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. The term "Brand" as used
         herein shall mean third-party logos, trademarks, titles, etc., (such as
         AMC) provided as part of the Licensed Articles. Licensee will not be
         required to pay a Royalty on any Content provided by Falcon without a
         Brand. Twilight Zone or other audio Content shall not at any time
         become the property of Licensee but shall remain the property of Falcon
         at all times hereunder (including upon expiration or termination of
         this Agreement), and Licensee will no longer have the right to use or
         distribute such Content.

                                       4

         11. COST OF CONTENT.

                  (a) The cost for Content shall be as follows: (i) $3,000 per
         hour for the first 100 hours delivered by Falcon, (ii) $500 per hour
         for the next 50 hours delivered by Falcon, and (iii) $2,500 per hour
         for each and every hour of Content delivered by Falcon thereafter
         throughout the Term ("Cost(s)"). Fifty percent (50%) of the Cost for
         Content shall be paid to Falcon by Licensee in advance and the other
         fifty percent (50%) within twenty (20) days after delivery to and
         acceptance by Licensee of such Content, pursuant to the terms of
         acceptance described in Article 10(a). Falcon agrees that $350,000 of
         Content hereunder may be paid to Falcon either (i) in cash or (ii) in
         shares of Licensee's Common Stock on and subject to the provisions of
         Section 11(b) below. In addition to the recouping of costs associated
         with guarantees and advances paid directly by Licensee to third parties
         (as described in Article 3), 25% of the first $300,000.00 of Cost is
         recoupable against the Royalty Fees. Costs shall only be recoupable on
         an annualized basis to the extent that the offsetting Royalty Fees have
         accrued during the same one-Year period as the Costs were incurred and
         paid. The term "Year" as used herein shall mean each successive
         one-year period commencing on the date of this Agreement. For instance
         the first Year shall begin on the date hereof and end on the first
         anniversary hereof.

                  (b) Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement,
         Licensee will issue 350,000 shares of Common Stock to Falcon as a
         deposit for the payment of $350,000.00 worth of Content to be delivered
         hereunder to Licensee. Such shares shall vest to Falcon as the hours of
         Content are delivered to and accepted by Licensee. The cost of Content
         accepted shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (a) above. In
         accepting this form of payment for the Content, Falcon expressly
         conditions the same upon its ability to freely trade the Common Stock
         so that it may liquidate the shares. If at any time, Falcon is not able
         to sell a sufficient number of shares of Licensee's Common Stock to
         cover the Costs incurred by Falcon through such date, Licensee shall
         pay an equivalent amount of cash to Falcon to cover all such Costs. If
         the shares of Common Stock, upon sale by Falcon do not yield sufficient
         proceeds to cover all Costs incurred by Falcon, Licensee shall promptly
         pay the full amount of such unreimbursed Costs to Falcon in cash. Prior
         to making any demand for payment in cash under the terms of this
         paragraph (b), Falcon agrees (i) to make a good faith effort to sell
         the Common Stock for a thirty (30) day period, (ii) that it will not
         sell the Common Stock below the market price, (iii) that it will
         provide Licensee with a written demand for payment under this paragraph
         accompanied by broker's statements regarding the sale or attempted
         sale, and (iv) Licensee will have twenty (20) days to make the cash
         payment demanded. Falcon agrees that it will not commence any sale of
         the Common Stock until the registration statement currently pending
         filing becomes effective.

                  (c) Licensee agrees to (i) prepare and file with the SEC
         within thirty (30) days after the execution date of this Agreement a
         registration statement ("Registration Statement") and such other
         documents, including a prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion
         of counsel for Licensee in order to comply with the provisions of the
         Securities Act so as to permit a public offering and sale by Falcon of
         Common Stock acquired in connection with the payment of the cost of
         Content, and (ii) cause the Registration Statement to become effective
         at the earliest possible date after filing with the SEC.

         12. FALCON'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Falcon hereby acknowledges that Licensee
reserves the right, in the future, to sell additional shares of Common Stock and
to issue additional warrants or options, any of which may result in substantial
dilution of the equity interest accepted by Falcon pursuant to this Agreement.

         13. LICENSEE'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Licensee acknowledges that Falcon may
desire to vary the release date and/or approved base product line, packaging
format, or product configuration with respect to the Licensed Articles in
response to special circumstances or marketplace and promotional opportunities
including, for example, (i) if Falcon determines that any Licensed Article will
(A) materially infringe upon the rights of another; (B) violate any law, court
order, government regulation or other ruling of any governmental agency; or (C)
subject Falcon to a material liability or (ii) if Falcon desires (with the
approval of Licensee) to create a multiple-unit-boxed set to be released in
conjunction with a major event or promotion sponsored by American Movie
Classics. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it shall withdraw any Licensed
Article from the marketplace and cease selling such item if Falcon notifies
Licensee that such Licensed Article will (A) materially infringe upon the rights
of another; (B) violate any law, court order, government regulation or other
ruling of any governmental agency; or (C) subject Falcon and/or Licensee to a
material liability.

         14. FALCON'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Falcon hereby represents
and warrants that all of the following information is correct and complete as of
the date on the signature page hereto:

                  (a) Falcon represents and warrants that Falcon's state of
         organization is Illinois, Falcon's executive offices are located in the
         state of Illinois and the Falcon's principal business operations are
         located in the state of Illinois.

                  (b) Falcon represents and warrants that Falcon qualifies as an
         Accredited Investor based upon the fact that Falcon is an entity that
         comes within one of the categories listed in Rule 501(a)(1) of
         Regulation D under the Securities Act, namely, Falcon is an entity in
         which all of the equity owners are Accredited Investors.

                  (c) Falcon hereby represents and warrants that Falcon meets
         the following criteria as described under Section 25102(f) of the
         California Corporations Code ("Section 25102(f)") and acknowledges that
         Licensee will rely on such representations and warranties for purposes
         of establishing any exemption from registration pursuant to Section
         25102(f): Falcon has a preexisting personal or business relationship
         with Licensee or one or more of its officers, directors or controlling
         persons in that Falcon and Licensee are parties to a prior licensing
         agreement and have had an ongoing business relationship as a result of
         that agreement.

                  (d) Falcon is accepting the Common Stock for Falcon's own
         account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
         distribution of the Common Stock.

                  (e) Falcon acknowledges that the offer and acceptance of the
         Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement has not been accomplished by
         the publication of any advertisement or by any general solicitation.

                  (f) Falcon has received, read and fully understands the
         representations and warranties contained in this Article 13. Falcon
         acknowledges that Falcon's decision to accept the Common Stock is based
         solely on the documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission ("SEC") by Licensee, which Falcon has had the opportunity to
         obtain and review, and on Falcon's personal expertise in, or knowledge
         of, Licensee and the industry in which Licensee operates its business,
         and Falcon has relied only on the information contained in said
         materials and has not relied upon any representations made by any other
         person. Falcon further acknowledges that, as a result of the Falcon's
         expertise in or knowledge of Licensee and its industry, Falcon is in a
         position to evaluate the risks associated with this investment without
         relying solely on information provided by Licensee.

                  (g) Falcon's overall commitment to investments that are not
         readily marketable is not disproportionate to Falcon's net worth, and
         Falcon's investment in the Common Stock will not cause such overall
         commitment to become excessive. Falcon has adequate means of providing
         for Falcon's financial requirements, both current and anticipated, and
         has no need for liquidity in this investment. Other than as provided in
         Article 11, Falcon can bear, and is willing to accept, the economic
         risk of losing Falcon's entire investment in the Common Stock.

                  (h) Falcon recognizes that an investment in the Common Stock
         is speculative and involves substantial risk and is fully cognizant of
         and understands all of the risk factors related to the acceptance of
         the Common Stock, including without limitation the risk factors set
         forth in the Licensee's documents filed with the SEC.

                  (i) Falcon has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and
         receive answers from Licensee and its officers, directors and employees
         concerning Licensee, the creation and operation of Licensee, and the
         terms and conditions of the acceptance of the Common Stock and to
         obtain any additional information deemed necessary. Falcon has been
         provided with all materials and information requested by the Falcon, or
         others representing the Falcon, including any information requested to
         verify any information furnished to the Falcon.

                  (j) Falcon understands and acknowledges that legends will be

Agreement with CBS regarding "The Twilight Zone." Licensee acknowledges that the
parties will be required to comply with and honor in all respects the terms of

to Falcon's fulfilling its obligations to provide products created and produced

purchase such products from Licensee at Licensee's manufactured price plus **

                           claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to
                           which any Registration Indemnitee may become subject
                           under the Securities Laws (each, a "Registration
                           Loss"), insofar as such Registration Losses (or
                           actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
                           upon any of the following statements, omissions or
                           violations by Licensee (each, a "Violation"): (i) any
                           untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
                           material fact contained in such registration
                           statement, including any preliminary prospectus or
                           final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
                           or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged
                           omission to state therein a material fact required to
                           be stated therein, or necessary to make the
                           statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any
                           violation or alleged violation by Licensee of the
                           Securities Laws in connection with the offering
                           covered by such registration statement; in each case
                           to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
                           Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
                           with written information furnished by Falcon for use
                           in connection with such registration; and Falcon will
                           pay as incurred any legal or other expenses
                           reasonably incurred by any Registration Indemnitee in
                           connection with investigating or defending any
                           Registration Loss if it is judicially determined that
                           there was such a Violation; provided, however, that
                           the indemnity obligation contained in this Article 21
                           shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
                           Registration Loss if such settlement is effected
                           without the consent of Falcon, which consent shall
                           not be unreasonably withheld.

                           connection with Licensee's use of the Licensed
                           Articles to the extent (and only to the extent) such
                           use is not in accordance with all of the terms and
                           conditions of this Agreement;

                           (ii) against all liabilities, costs and expenses

                           made by the undersigned contained herein or any
                           failure of Licensee to honor its covenants and
                           obligations herein; and

                           such Common Stock is included in the securities as to
                           which such registration qualification or compliance
                           is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless

                           covered by such registration statement; in each case
                           to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
                           Violation occurs other than in reliance upon and in
                           conformity with written information furnished by
                           Falcon for use in connection with such registration;
                           and Licensee will pay as incurred any legal or other
                           expenses reasonably incurred by any Registration
                           Indemnitee in connection with investigating or
                           defending any Registration Loss if it is judicially
                           determined that there was such a Violation; provided,
                           however, that the indemnity obligation contained in
                           this Article 21 shall not apply to amounts paid in
                           settlement of any Registration Loss if such
                           settlement is effected without the consent of
                           Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                           withheld.

         22. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination as
follows:

         of this Agreement, and should Licensee fail to fully and completely
         remedy the same within fifteen (15) days after Falcon provides written
         notice to Licensee of its failure to make required payments or the
         occurrence of a material breach of this Agreement, as applicable, then
         Falcon shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith or at
         any time.

                  (b) Should Falcon fail to deliver 100 hours of Content

                      FIRST AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT
                      ------------------------------------

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT (this "AMENDMENT") is made as
of the 22nd day of December, 2003, by and between Falcon Picture Group, LLC,
with its principal office at 974 Estes Court, Schaumburg, Illinois 60193
("FALCON"), and Genius Products, Inc., with its principal office at 11250 El
Camino Real, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92130, Attn: Klaus Moeller
("LICENSEE"). Falcon and Licensee are sometimes referred to below individually
as a "PARTY" and collectively as the "PARTIES".

         WHEREAS, the Parties entered into a License Agreement with each other,
dated September 8, 2003 (the "LICENSE AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Falcon
agreed to license certain audio and video programs and related rights to
Licensee on an exclusive basis (the "LICENSED ARTICLES");

         WHEREAS, since entering into the License Agreement, Carl Amari, Chief
Executive Officer of Falcon ("AMARI") has entered into negotiations with TV
GUIDE regarding the acquisition of a license to use the TV GUIDE name and logo
in connection with the development, marketing and sale, throughout the United
States, of a full line of DVD products featuring classic television content from
1946 through 1989;

         WHEREAS, the Parties wish to memorialize the agreement previously
reached on October 2nd, 2003, between the Parties regarding the amendment of the
License Agreement to include certain provisions applicable to the then-pending
TV GUIDE license; the payment of certain Funds, as defined below, to Licensee by
Amari upon Falcon's acquisition of the above-referenced license from TV GUIDE
and the issuance of additional shares of Licensee's Common Stock to Amari;

         WHEREAS, this Amendment could not be executed until Falcon obtained the
above-referenced license from TV GUIDE and provided the Funds to Licensee;

         WHEREAS, Falcon has obtained the license from TV Guide and Licensee has
received the Funds as of the date written above;

         WHEREAS, the acquisition of the above-referenced license from TV GUIDE
will necessitate the payment of certain guaranteed minimum royalty payments to
TV GUIDE;

         WHEREAS, Licensee wishes for Falcon to complete its negotiations to
acquire the above-described license so that the Licensed Articles may be
marketed and sold under the TV GUIDE name and logo; and

         WHEREAS, Licensee has agreed to pay to Falcon certain recoupable
advances, as provided below, in order to enable Falcon to execute an appropriate
written agreement with TV GUIDE, and to perform its minimum guaranteed payment
obligations to TV GUIDE thereunder.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

         1. DEFINITIONS; RECITALS. All capitalized words and phrases used and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
License Agreement. The Recitals set forth above are an integral part of this
Amendment and they are, therefore, incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement.

                                       -1-

<PAGE>

         2. COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES. Falcon, on its part, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a license or similar agreement
with TV GUIDE regarding the acquisition of a license or similar grant of rights
to use the TV GUIDE name and logo in connection with the development, marketing
and sale, throughout the world, of a full line of DVD products featuring classic
television content from 1946 through 1989 (the "TV GUIDE LICENSE"). Licensee, on
its part, shall honor and abide by all of the applicable terms and conditions of
the TV GUIDE License (in the event such an agreement is entered into by Falcon
and TV GUIDE). In the event that Falcon is not able to negotiate and execute an
acceptable TV GUIDE License by December 31, 2003, the original terms of the
License Agreement between Falcon and Licensee shall remain unchanged and this
Amendment shall become null and void and of no further force or effect. In the
event that Falcon is able to negotiate and execute an acceptable TV GUIDE
License by such date, then the terms of the License Agreement shall be modified
and amended as set forth in Section 3 below. Licensee shall have the right to
review the TV GUIDE License and approve of the terms of same in its sole
discretion prior to this Amendment's taking effect. Any amendment or termination
of the TV GUIDE License must be made in good faith on the part of Falcon. Falcon
must provide Licensee with as much notice as possible of any amendment or
termination of the TV GUIDE License. Licensee retains the right to approve of
the terms of any amendment of the TV GUIDE License in its sole discretion if
such terms have any effect on the Amendment or the License Agreement. Any
approval by Licensee under this Section 2 shall be made in good faith and shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

         3. CHANGES TO TERMS OF LICENSE AGREEMENT. In the event that Falcon
enters into the TV GUIDE License, the Parties agree to the following amendments
to the terms of the License Agreement:

                  (a) The Territory as defined in Section 6 of the License
         Agreement shall hereby be amended to be "the World", but in all cases
         shall be subject to or as limited by any territorial restrictions or
         limitations on Falcon's rights under existing or future agreements,
         copies of which are to be provided to Licensee.

                  (b) Section 7(a)(ii) of the License Agreement shall hereby be
         amended to reflect that royalty statements will be provided to Falcon
         quarterly, as soon as possible and in any event they shall be provided
         at such time and manner so that they are received by Falcon not later
         than the thirtieth (30th) day of the month following the end of the
         preceding calendar quarter, commencing with a report for the quarter
         ending December 31, 2003, and shall be accompanied by payment of the
         amount shown due to Falcon thereon which exceeds the Guaranteed Minimum
         Royalty Fee and which shall include any advances and guaranteed
         payments recoupable by Licensee which have been recouped. The
         Guaranteed Minimum Royalty Fee shall continue to be paid on a monthly
         basis.

                  (c) In addition to and not in lieu of the Guaranteed Minimum
         Royalty Fees described in Section 7 of the License Agreement, Licensee
         shall pay to Falcon a guaranteed minimum payment in the aggregate
         amount of ** (the "INITIAL TV GUIDE GUARANTEED PAYMENT") with respect
         to the initial term of the TV GUIDE License (which is expected to run
         from December 1, 2003 through June 30, 2007, and in any case shall be
         for a minimum term of three and a half years), which amount shall be
         payable to Falcon as follows:

                           (i) The first ** shall be paid to Falcon for the
         execution of the TV GUIDE License;

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

                           (ii) An additional ** shall be paid to Falcon on or
         before the date which is eighteen (18) months after execution of the TV
         GUIDE License; and

                           (iii) The final ** shall be paid to Falcon on or
         before the date which is thirty (30) months after execution of the TV
         GUIDE License.

                  (d) Also in addition to and not in lieu of the Guaranteed
         Minimum Royalty Fees described in Section 7 of the License Agreement,
         if the TV GUIDE License is renewed following the initial term, Licensee
         shall pay to Falcon a guaranteed minimum payment in the aggregate
         amount of ** (the "RENEWAL TV GUIDE GUARANTEED PAYMENT") with respect
         to the renewal term of the TV GUIDE License, which amount shall be
         payable to Falcon as follows:

                           (i) The first ** shall be paid to Falcon upon renewal
         the TV GUIDE License (which renewal term is expected to commence on or
         around July 1, 2007) (the "TV GUIDE LICENSE RENEWAL DATE");

                           (ii) An additional ** shall be paid to Falcon on or
         before the first anniversary of the TV GUIDE License Renewal Date; and

                           (iii) The final ** shall be paid to Falcon on or
         before the second anniversary of the TV GUIDE License Renewal Date.

                  (e) The Initial TV GUIDE Guaranteed Payment and the Renewal TV
         GUIDE Guaranteed Payment are collectively referred to below as the "TV
         GUIDE GUARANTEED PAYMENTS".

                  (f) It is acknowledged and agreed by Licensee that the
         foregoing TV GUIDE Guaranteed Payments have been marked up by Falcon to
         include an advance acquisition fee payable to Falcon (the "TV GUIDE
         ACQUISITION FEES") in addition to the actual guaranteed minimum payment
         amounts due to TV GUIDE from Falcon under the TV GUIDE License.

                  (g) Falcon acknowledges that Falcon shall be solely
         responsible for paying the guaranteed minimum payments due to TV GUIDE
         under the TV GUIDE License out of the TV GUIDE Guaranteed Payments paid
         to Falcon by Licensee, as provided above.

                  (h) Falcon shall be entitled to keep the TV GUIDE Acquisition
         Fees included in the TV GUIDE Guaranteed Payments.

                  (i) Licensee shall be entitled to recoup the entire aggregate
         amount of the TV GUIDE Guaranteed Payments paid by Licensee (including
         the portion that constitutes Falcon's TV GUIDE Acquisition Fees) by
         setting off the actual amounts paid to Falcon against future Royalty
         Fees that accrue with respect to sales of TV GUIDE-branded products
         ("TV GUIDE PRODUCTS"), as provided in Section 3(i) below.

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                  (j) Pursuant to the TV GUIDE License, it is anticipated that
         TV GUIDE will be providing certain advertising and marketing support
         for the purpose of promoting and advertising the sale of the TV GUIDE
         Products (the "TV GUIDE Marketing Support"), and that Falcon/Licensee
         will be required to establish a dedicated 800 number or numbers (and
         possibly other dedicated sales support systems) in order to receive
         orders generated by such TV GUIDE Marketing Support.

                  (k) Falcon's Royalty Fees with respect to sales of TV GUIDE
         Products shall be equal to of Net Sales of all TV GUIDE Products,
         EXCEPT that with respect to sales of TV GUIDE Products that result from
         or are generated by TV GUIDE Marketing Support, the Royalty Fees
         payable to Falcon shall be equal to of Net Sales.

                  (l) Once the TV GUIDE Advances have been fully recouped by
         Licensee, Licensee shall pay all additional Royalty Fees to Falcon on a
         quarterly basis pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 7(a)(ii) of
         the License Agreement.

                  (m) Upon termination or expiration of the License Agreement,
         Licensee shall cease all further use of the "TV GUIDE" name and logo
         unless and then only to the extent (and on such terms) such continued
         use is approved in writing by Falcon (and TV GUIDE, to the extent TV
         GUIDE's consent is necessary).

                  (n) Upon the execution of the TV Guide License, Amari shall
         remit Nine Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars ($972,000) to Licensee
         (the "Funds").

                  (o) Section 11(c) is amended to include the stock issued under
         the terms of this Amendment in the Licensee's next Registration
         Statement with the understanding that the filing of the Registration
         Statement will not be required to be occur within 30 days of the
         execution of this Amendment.

                  (p) Section 14(f) is amended to reference Article 14 in place
         of Article 13.

         4. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. Upon the execution of the TV Guide License

Fifty Thousand (1,350,000) shares of Licensee's Common Stock valued at $0.72 per

(i) subject to the notices provided in Exhibit A attached hereto, (ii) with the
understanding that Amari is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (iii) pursuant to other
acknowledgements and representations made by Amari as set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto.

         5. CONFLICTS. To the extent there are any conflicts between the terms
of this Amendment and the terms of the License Agreement for as long as this
Amendment is in full force or applies, the terms of this Amendment shall be
controlling. Except as expressly modified in accordance with this Amendment, the
License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the
date first above written.

                                    EXHIBIT B

                    CARL AMARI REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1.   CARL AMARI'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Carl Amari ("Amari") hereby acknowledges that
     Licensee reserves the right, in the future, to sell additional shares of
     Common Stock and to issue additional warrants or options, any of which may
     result in substantial dilution of the equity interest accepted by Amari
     pursuant to this Agreement.

2.   AMARI'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Amari hereby represents and
     warrants that all of the following information is correct and complete as
     of the date on the signature page hereto:

                  (a) Amari represents and warrants that Amari's state of
         residence is Illinois.

                  (b) Amari represents and warrants that Amari qualifies as an
         Accredited Investor as that term is defined in Regulation D under the
         Securities Act based upon the fact that Amari (i) has a net worth
         (including home, furnishings and automobiles) of at least $1 million
         either individually or through aggregating his individual holdings and
         those in which he has a joint, community property or other similar
         shared ownership interest with his spouse; (ii) has an annual gross
         income for the past two years of at least $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly
         with his spouse) and expect his income (or joint income, as
         appropriate) to reach the same level in the current year; or (iii) is a
         director or executive officer of the Licensee.

                  (c) Amari hereby represents and warrants that Amari meets the
         following criteria as described under Section 25102(f) of the
         California Corporations Code ("Section 25102(f)") and acknowledges that
         Licensee will rely on such representations and warranties for purposes
         of establishing any exemption from registration pursuant to Section
         25102(f): Amari has a preexisting personal or business relationship
         with Licensee or one or more of its officers, directors or controlling
         persons in that Amari and Licensee are parties to a prior licensing
         agreement and have had an ongoing business relationship as a result of
         that agreement.

                  (d) Amari is accepting the Common Stock for Amari's own
         account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
         distribution of the Common Stock.

                  (e) Amari acknowledges that the offer and acceptance of the
         Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement has not been accomplished by
         the publication of any advertisement or by any general solicitation.

                  (f) Amari has received, read and fully understands the
         representations and warranties contained in this Section 2. Amari
         acknowledges that Amari's decision to accept the Common Stock is based
         solely on the documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission ("SEC") by Licensee, which Amari has had the opportunity to
         obtain and review, and on Amari's personal expertise in, or knowledge
         of, Licensee and the industry in which Licensee operates its business,
         and Amari has relied only on the information contained in said
         materials and has not relied upon any representations made by any other
         person. Amari further acknowledges that, as a result of the Amari's
         expertise in or knowledge of Licensee and its industry, Amari is in a
         position to evaluate the risks associated with this investment without
         relying solely on information provided by Licensee.

<PAGE>

                  (g) Amari's overall commitment to investments that are not
         readily marketable is not disproportionate to Amari's net worth, and
         Amari's investment in the Common Stock will not cause such overall
         commitment to become excessive. Amari has adequate means of providing
         for Amari's financial requirements, both current and anticipated, and
         has no need for liquidity in this investment. Other than as provided in
         Section 3(o) of the First Amendment to License Agreement to which this
         Exhibit is attached, Amari can bear, and is willing to accept, the
         economic risk of losing Amari's entire investment in the Common Stock.

                  (h) Amari recognizes that an investment in the Common Stock is
         speculative and involves substantial risk and is fully cognizant of and
         understands all of the risk factors related to the acceptance of the
         Common Stock, including without limitation the risk factors set forth
         in the Licensee's documents filed with the SEC.

                  (i) Amari has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and
         receive answers from Licensee and its officers, directors and employees
         concerning Licensee, the creation and operation of Licensee, and the
         terms and conditions of the acceptance of the Common Stock and to
         obtain any additional information deemed necessary. Amari has been
         provided with all materials and information requested by the Amari, or
         others representing the Amari, including any information requested to
         verify any information furnished to the Amari.

                  (j) Amari understands and acknowledges that legends will be
         placed on any certificates evidencing the Common Stock with respect to
         restrictions on distribution, transfer, resale, assignment,
         hypothecation or subdivision of the Common Stock imposed by applicable
         federal and state securities laws. Amari is fully aware that the Common
         Stock accepted hereunder has not been registered with the SEC or under
         any state securities law and that the acceptance is intended to be a
         non-public offering in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
         and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act
         and under Section 25102 of the California Corporations Code or other
         applicable state regulations, which reliance is based in part upon
         Amari's representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.
         Amari understands and acknowledges that unless the Common Stock is
         registered in compliance with all applicable laws, the Common Stock may
         not be re-offered for sale or resold except in a transaction, or as a
         security, exempt under such laws. Amari further understands and
         acknowledges that the specific approval of such resales by the state
         securities administrator may be required in some states.

3.   NO SHORT SALES. Amari expressly agrees that until such time that it has
     sold all of the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, it will not
     directly or indirectly, through an affiliate (as that term is defined under
     Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) or by, with or through an
     unrelated third party or entity, whether or not pursuant to a written or
     oral understanding, agreement, arrangement, scheme, or artifice of nature
     whatsoever, engage in the short selling of Licensee's Common Stock or any
     other equity securities of Licensee, whether now existing or hereafter
     issued, or engage in any other activity of any nature whatsoever that has
     the same effect as a short sale, or is a DE FACTO or DE JURE short sale, of
     Licensee's Common Stock or any other equity security of Licensee, whether
     now existing or hereafter issued, including, but not limited to, the sale
     of any rights pursuant to any understanding, agreement, arrangement, scheme
     or artifice of any nature whatsoever, whether oral or in writing, relative
     to Licensee's Common Stock or any other equity securities of Licensee
     whether now existing or hereafter created.
