BOCA RATON, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 19, 2007 -- PrimEdge, Inc. (Other OTC:PEDG.PK - News) announced today that its subsidiary, Orangebox Entertainment, Inc., will launch its new, expanded production studio and facilities for the national internet show "Kidney Talk!," co-hosted by successful television and movie actor, producer, director and kidney patient, Stephen Furst (www.stephenfurst.com) and Lori Hartwell (www.lorihartwell.com). "Kidney Talk!" is a production of the non-profit group for chronic kidney patients, The Renal Support Network (www.rsnhope.org), and is broadcast every week via the RSNHope.org web site.

Stephen Furst began his film and television career 28 years ago, starring in the gigantic comedy hit "National Lampoon's Animal House" as the bumbling and overweight freshman Flounder. Other feature film acting credits include "The Dream Team," with Michael Keaton and Christopher Lloyd, and "Midnight Madness," with Michael J. Fox. He recently co-starred in "Sorority Boys," a comedy feature from Touchstone Pictures and in a film adaptation of Stephen King's thriller, "Autopsy Room 4."

Stephen's television credits are extensive and include roles on a number of Emmy Award-winning series such as the medical drama "St. Elsewhere," in which he co-starred as Dr. Elliot Axelrod, and the apocalyptic mini-series "The Day After," co-starring with Jason Robards and John Lithgow. Most recently, Stephen starred as Vir Cotto in the award-winning science fiction series from Warner Bros. (www.warnerbros.com), "Babylon 5." As a voice-over artist, he starred in the animated film "Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea" and in the animated television series "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command," with Tim Allen.

Lori Hartwell is a model of living a fulfilling life despite chronic kidney disease. A kidney patient since the age of two and now with her third kidney transplant, she founded the Renal Support Network in 1993 and now travels throughout the country educating and inspiring healthcare professionals and patients with her stories, insight and humor. She is the author of "Chronically Happy - Joyful Living in Spite of Chronic Illness," and is president of Hartwell Communications, specializing in written and oral communications to educate healthcare professionals and patients. Lori is a frequent guest on radio talk shows nationwide. Her annual Renal Teen Prom has enjoyed local and national television coverage, and her contributions to improving the well-being of people with chronic illness have been widely recognized.

Brian Schuster, President and CEO, stated, "We are thrilled that we are providing state-of-the-art production facilities needed by RSN for this radio program that is so important to those patients dealing with kidney disease which we feel can really help those with this horrible disease. We are also delighted to work with Mr. Furst and Ms. Hartwell, both of whom are pioneers in helping kidney disease. The fact that we can support this radio program speaks to the sophistication of our technology, and the talents and community sensitivity of our people at Orangebox Entertainment."
