Strategically, a major move is underway to recruit well-connected Producer of Bearfruit Films, James Simmons, to take on a long-term role as Producer Trial 2020. His responsibilities would be far-reaching. "With Simmons on the team, Trial 2020's upside potential goes up up up and fast," shared Abraham Doe, Creator of Trial 2020. "James would move to connect Trial 2020 to a fantastic piece of work going on in the valley that we trust will result in enormous mutual value."

Sandy Kim, a Sr Consultant to Trial 2020, and Simmons would work closely and quickly with Doe to build a writing team that would produce initially 48 episodes, it was learned.

The program expects to raise at least $500,000 fairly quickly.

1977 Bandit Trans Am Owned by Burt Reynolds Consigned to Carlisle Auctions

The Carlisle Auctions brand was re-born in November of 2013 with an event in Florida and it’s only fitting that because of an event in Florida two years later, Carlisle Auctions has landed its biggest and most promising consignment to date.  Crossing the block as part of the Spring Carlisle Auction (April 23-24) at the Carlisle Expo Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania is a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am owned by none other than the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds.  This car is one of 350+ consignments that Carlisle Auctions will move as part of the event which runs from approximately 3 p.m.-10 p.m. over two days.

Though one of 350+, this particular Trans Am will quickly turn heads when hopeful bidders walk up to it in the Expo Center.  Purchased by Reynolds last year, it was meticulously restored by long time friend and Trans Am restoration expert Harold Murphy of Murphy Auto Body and Restoration in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Since then, it’s been a part of the Reynolds collection, but it’s also the LAST of his cars to be auctioned as he transitions to a new chapter in his life.

With so many auction companies across the country, how does a piece of automotive history owned by one of Hollywood’s most beloved icons wind up with Carlisle Auctions?  The answer is simple and it speaks to the value of doing business with Carlisle Auctions.  As mentioned previously, the modern day version of Carlisle Auctions ran its first event in Florida and continues to run a pair of events annually within the Sunshine State (Florida Fall and Winter AutoFest in Lakeland).  During the Winter AutoFest event, which took place in February of 2015, the Carlisle Auctions team and Director of Auction Operations Tony Cline had the chance to work directly with Murphy.  It was that working relationship and positive experience that convinced Murphy and Reynolds to consign with Carlisle, where as the slogan goes, you’re not just a number, you’re a member of the Carlisle family.

In addition to being a fine piece of restoration work and a true tribute to one of the most iconic cars in all of film, the car has been autographed by Reynolds!  His signature adorns the hood and can be found again inside on the dash board.  Both autographs have been protected to assure a long lasting keepsake.  Further, the winning bidder will receive the Florida DMV title that proves Reynolds is the current owner.  Along with the title and autographs on the car, the winning bid takes home an autographed hat and jacket.  The hat and jacket were worn by Reynolds during a photo shoot for the car.  Those photos are available online at www.CarlisleAuctions.com, embedded within the document version of this release below, although higher quality photos are available by request.

With this being the last Reynolds car to cross any auction block, collectors will be quick to bid on this piece of automotive history.  But, what does this particular Trans Am mean in the world of classic cars?  Trans Am expert Rick Deiters of www.TransAmFlorida.com believes that given its lineage, it could bring top dollar.

“The 1977 Trans Am Special Edition, AKA the Bandit car is possibly one of the most iconic cars of all time.  Unless you’ve lived under a rock, you have to be aware of Smokey and the Bandit and of those who starred in the film,” noted Deiters.  “In the last 10 years, these cars have gained incredible attention, proving that iconic cars are desirable and collectible,” continued Deiters.  “As such, a huge amount of fans of the car and the movie are out there looking for this important piece of Americana.  To find an authentic black on black 1977 TA Special Edition proves to be a mission because only a limited amount of them were produced.   In 2014 alone, ones in museum quality condition sold for over $100,000 and in December of 2014, another ‘77 Trans Am from Reynolds’ collection sold for $450,000…and in my opinion, that car wasn’t in as good a condition as some of the others I’ve seen.  That speaks volumes to the demand for not only the car, but for ones owned by Reynolds.  In my opinion, this last car from his collection is a really good and a correct one.  I personally know the car as it was sold by my company to Mr. Murphy to do the project for Mr. Reynolds and I know the group who restored it.  They do good work.  The car is identical to the car driven in the movie; it’s a correct Special Edition Y82 model with Hurst T-Tops, black deluxe interior and a 6.6 liter engine.  Hopefully bidders should do so with complete confidence and I believe this car will do quite well, making its future owner very proud,” concluded Deiters.

Enthusiasts looking for their first classic, next classic or just a way to spend a spring evening should look no further than the Spring Carlisle Auction.  Powered by the Carlisle Auctions’ FREE UNLESS SOLD guarantee, the event has something for everyone.  Consignments should range from four figures to six and with competitive buyers and sellers fees and a friendly staff, it’s no wonder why the Carlisle Auctions brand is the fastest growing collector car auction company in the business today.

Black Lives Matter at Cannes Film Festival

Yolonda Brinkley, Creator of Beyond Borders: Diversity in Cannes is pleased to announce the Black Lives Black Stories Matter Edition of the 2015 Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase and Awards. Honoring filmmakers committed to telling positive stories of the black experience across the diaspora, this parallel section of the Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase will promote the presence of black filmmakers at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

In light of the blatant disrespect for the lives of people of color worldwide, Beyond Borders: Diversity in Cannes, an independent global filmmaker movement promoting diversity of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and physical ability at the Cannes Film Festival, stands in solidarity with the families of the 200 missing Nigerian girls, the victims of the recent Baga massacre, the black males killed at the hands of the law in the United States and the countless others losing lives due to political unrest in other African nations. Black lives and black stories matter and we will proclaim it loud and proud to the international film community at the world’s most prestigious film festival.

“The media, motion pictures in particular, plays an integral role in perpetuating negative stereotypes of the black experience worldwide. While progress has been made to reverse these mostly fiction based perceptions, there’s work to be done,” states Yolonda Brinkley, US based entertainment publicist and creator of Beyond Borders: Diversity in Cannes. “Positive portrayal of black life in film will lead to positive shifts in perception globally and the Black Lives Black Stories Matter Edition of the Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase at the Cannes Film Festival is my contribution to the global effort to extinguish negative black images in media one short film at a time.”

The Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase, Black Lives Black Stories Matter edition, will spotlight positive images of blacks in film during a special short film screening celebrating the work of six black filmmakers from the diaspora. To culminate, we will honor them and other trailblazing blacks in global entertainment at an awards reception where world renowned visual artist Synthia SAINT JAMES, designer of the USPS' first Kwanzaa stamp, will unveil a signature piece celebrating diversity. In support of our mission, she will grant us reproduction rights of the commissioned art, which will be merchandised to raise funds to promote globally diverse filmmakers at the Cannes Film Festival and beyond.

“I am so jazzed, excited and honored with the artistic delight of creating a signature painting for Yolonda Brinkley's Beyond Borders: Diversity in Cannes,” comments Synthia SAINT JAMES, world renown visual artist. “My hope is that my painting will help to heighten the visibility and brand of Ms. Brinkley's incredible brainchild, while also celebrating and encouraging diversity in the independent global filmmaker movement.”

Filmmakers are encouraged to submit films and webseries to the 2015 Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase as all black themed/crewed films promoting positive black images are automatically considered for both the general and the Black Lives Black Stories Matter showcases. Regular submission rate extended through March 31, 2015.  Apply code BLACKLIVESMATTER at

Film to reveal how JFK’s quest to end UFO secrecy was eclipsed by shadow government

the official launch date of a Kickstarter campaign for a documentary about how John F. Kennedy’s presidency was eclipsed by the dark shadow of a sinister force operating behind-the-scenes in the US government to hide the truth about UFOs.

Kennedy's Last Stand is a documentary film project that will introduce evidence never before revealed about how President Kennedy learned about classified UFO files during World War II; and why his multiple attempts to gain access during his presidency to UFO related projects and files became a key factor in his assassination. The film’s producer, Dr Michael Salla, claims that “Kennedy’s Last Stand will be the first JFK assassination documentary to examine the close personal friendship between John Kennedy and James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense.”

Dr Salla says, “The film will cover how Forrestal introduced Kennedy to the UFO issue during a trip to Germany in July 1945 when JFK witnessed advanced NAZI technologies that were repatriated to the U.S. under Operation Paperclip – an Operation Forrestal helped orchestrate as the then Secretary of the Navy.” Dr Salla says that the “film will reveal for the first time in any documentary how Kennedy’s dramatic Sept 1963 initiative to cooperate with the Soviet Union’s Nikita Khrushchev on joint space and lunar missions included a secret attempt to share access to classified UFO files previously denied to his administration.”

Kickstarter campaigns operate under an “all-or-nothing” funding model so if the Kennedy’s Last Standfilm project doesn’t reach its goal in 30 days, it may be years before what really happened behind the scenes of the Kennedy administration sees the light of day.

To learn more or to support this Kickstarter project, visit Kickstarter.com or the official film websiteKennedysLastStand.com. For as little as $20, the general public can help lift the shadow covering what really happened to JFK and his quest for the truth about classified UFO files.

Award-winning actress Jenn Gotzon received nominations this week from 3 different film festivals for her role as Ruth, a good-willed church do’er scarred by a traumatic event, in writer-director Sharon Wilharm’s The Good Book.

In midst of the heartache, I choose to meditate on things that are good, pure, lovely believing God will work all things together for the good… ,” Gotzon comparing her personal life with her on-screen character arc.
