Press Release Summary: More Than a Model is a unique learning experience aimed at
nurturing kids to be self confident, responsible and socially aware.

Press Release Body: SAN FRANCISCO-In a world where outer beauty is aspired to and
adored, one program is going beyond traditional acting and modeling lessons to
teach kids how to become role models in their daily lives in addition to helping
them prepare to pursue careers as models and actors.

More Than a Model is a unique learning experience aimed at nurturing kids to be self
confident, responsible and socially aware individuals with integrity and solid
values.

Ranging from beginning to advanced, More Than a Model training topics include how to
make positive first impressions, healthy eating, how to book a job, diction, and
emotion. More Than a Model's fun and interactive program sessions are a one of a
kind blend of intensive, in front of the camera studio training and education which
includes dispelling common misconceptions about the entertainment industry.

Lane Kennedy, former model and 18-year industry veteran, founded More Than a Model
based on her own career within the fashion and entertainment worlds. "Many of the
problems associated with children in the entertainment industry stem from not having
the self confidence and awareness they need from the very beginning. Our goal is to
show kids how to be comfortable with who they are before they face the sometimes
harsh realities of the industry," said Kennedy.

In addition, More Than a Model provides parents with the tools they need to
successfully navigate their child's budding career including advice on everything
from how to work with producers to how to manage a hectic schedule of auditions.
"It's easy for parents and their children to be misled when they aren't informed of
constant changes in this industry. My own experiences have compelled me to share
what I know," said Kennedy.

Not exclusively for aspiring models and actors, Kennedy said More than a Model
programs are confidence boosters for any child. "You don't have to want to be a
model to benefit from our program. We are here to help children develop in to
self-assured, well-rounded individuals. Every child leaves our program more secure
than before," she said.

More Than a Model is located at 2325 3rd Street in San Francisco. The company is
currently accepting enrollments for 2008.

Founder and director Lane Kennedy has more than 18 years of experience working
within the fashion and talent/entertainment industries with recognized companies
including GAP, Levi's, Guess, BCBG, BEBE, HP, Symantec, Clorox, Sprint, MSN,
