Real Human;A Documentary:The Project Aiming To Initiate The WWFN Launches A Campaign on IndieGoGo

The Real Human documentary is based on a groundbreaking concept by Ecard Systems to unite families throughout the world in the effort to "Reinvent Childhood" and raise The Future Child; stronger, happier, better adjusted.

The theme: Community organizers help parents sign-up to the online family network. The children are then enabled to connect on-demand to the voices of Real Human companions, so called Invisible Babysitters; invisible because hidden behind faces of toys or video characters. The aim is to prevent heartbreaks, however large or small, through words of empowerment .

The Part One of the film will record live the first steps of the app-based network where kids and their human-like toys-confidants are the main characters. The chats may be infrequent as the toy confidant is not designed to dominate daily activities. Rather, it is there when a parents can't be for whatever reason. The Part Two will report on re-visiting same children a few month later, observing the changes, engaging professional commentaries.

How is the network itself set up: A mobile app will allow parents with smartphones to submit an Invisible Babysitter request. The request will then be routed to the sitters (freelancers) who are enabled to use their own modified voices to entertain children long distance on as-needed bases. The basic concept is similar to that of Uber Drivers but fees and rewards are structured somewhat differently. This is the network of compassionate child's advocates. The voices come into child's room (or kindergarten) in form of talking toys, objects or video characters upon child's invitation. The toys/objects look like any traditional toys/objects would. The difference is in the ability to interact (mainly listen) like a Real Human would. (Parents are able to listen-in, record, rate the sitter).

Joanne Basecki, CEO at Ecard Systems, notes "The child's play with a Real Human network may be an appropriate introduction to the life nearing Singularity, a possible turn-away from a 'power driven culture' to a 'good will driven culture'".

Now, the launch of a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo aims at raising the necessary funds for travel and interviews with professionals as well as filming. The perks are interesting, ranging from $7 for a Grand Party invitation to $6,000 for becoming a Co-producer. There are also perks for name listing ($20), one chatting toy ($45), three chatting toys ($100) and six chatting toys ($200).

Contributions will help bring to market an opportunity to instill high values delivered from our hearts, wisdom and tradition as oppose to Watson-like toys or recordings. Backers can also show their support by sharing the campaign with their Social Media networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE engages Chance Cole for some deliciously wicked special effects!

The independent feature GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE-a hilarious brew of murder, mirth and mayhem-is getting some eye-popping special effects, courtesy of Chance Cole's artistic wizardry.  The story tells of a friendly gathering that goes hilariously awry when an unexpected guest arrives.  With a pickaxe.  And an attitude.  As such, the film will be enhanced with some "colorful" effects.

"On every film, some things happen a bit unexpectedly," Bair said.  "And, like his name, Chance came into my world at just the right time, via a referral from my 'Deadly Revisions' SFX man Greg Cheng.  And, after looking at his work, I knew adding Chance to the team would be a good move."  |

Chance not only works in visual effects, but is also an editor, director, writer and composer.  He has worked on material for The Warp Zone and is the creator of the music video "Shooting Star".  He has done visual effects for "The Sound of Magic", "Run" and more.  "Chance has such a wide range of talents," Blair said.  "Aside from being impressive, it's always good when an artist knows more than one angle; I find that awareness makes them better at each element."

Much of Chance's craft will be augmenting the goo factor.  "The film uses a combination of practical effects and post-production effects," Blair said.  "I mean, with a story called 'Garden Party Massacre', you expect there's gonna be some blood.  But, since the film puts the comedy over the horror, I wanted the bloody parts to be a tad cartoony, over-the-top, even funny.  So, while we were all covered in fake blood at times, the climax demanded the comedic element of excess and that's exactly what Chance is going bring."

GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE is a PIX/SEE Productions film and is slated for a late 2016 finish date.  It stars Andy Gates ("Grimm"), Nichole Bagby ("My Crazy Roommate"), Lise Hart ("Deadly Revisions"), Gregory Blair ("Love That Girl"), Dawna Lee Heising ("Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance"), Matt Weinglass ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!") and David Leeper.

Newly Renovated Historic Loring Park Music Box Theater Is Now Open

The Music Box Theater, a historic Minneapolis landmark, underwent renovation during January and February 2016 and is now open on Nicollet Ave in Loring Park. Coming soon, on the weekend of May 6, they will offer a weekend of classic, indie, and family movie showings. The theater is under new management, who are planning several different events in 2016 aimed to provide the Loring Park community with high quality arts and entertainment.

Located at 1407 Nicollet Avenue, just one block west of the Minneapolis Convention Center, the Music Box Theater will host the "Flix and Chips" movie weekend by opening its doors on Friday evening for two showings, and Saturday afternoon for two matinee showings. The Music Box Theater has partnered with a popular local restaurant in Loring Park, Eggy's Diner, in order to provide free chips and movie admission.

"We are really excited to offer this event to our community in order to let them know that the Music Box Theater is a venue that is committed to providing fun and exciting arts and entertainment options in the downtown area," said Shuree Rivera, Creative Director for Wooddale at the Music Box Theater. "We decided to kick-off the spring season by showing some great movies that everyone could enjoy, and are in the midst of planning concerts, theatrical performances and the live-broadcast leadership event, 'The Global Leadership Summit' throughout the summer and fall here at the theater. Everyone is also welcome and invited to join our Sunday morning gatherings at 10am for live music, art, teaching, and community."

The Music Box Theater's renovations maintained and enhanced the historic glamour of the building, while upgrading its technology by installing a new lighting system, a digital stereo sound system, an HD digital projector, and free Wi-Fi. The two month renovation project was completed by Wooddale Church, the Music Box Theater's new management.

San Diego's growing craft beer industry will be captured in the film "SUDS COUNTY 2: The Boil Over"

Dry Hopped Productions, LLC announced today that it has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to raise $250,000 to fund the production and distribution of SUDS COUNTY 2: The Boil Over, a documentary sequel to 2012's SUDS COUNTY, USA. The film will be directed by Sheldon Kaplan of Ibhayi Media and produced by Kaplan and Kevin Tostado of Tostie Productions, LLC. If the campaign hits its goal, production will commence in June 2016 and continue through the end of the year, with a potential release scheduled for Summer 2017.

In addition to looking at the recent explosive growth of breweries in San Diego County, California, the film will also look at San Diego breweries and brewers' influence both nationally and internationally. Amongst a number of other topics, SUDS COUNTY 2 will also focus on both the national and international growth of the India Pale Ale (IPA) and an investigation of the evolution of the San Diego IPA/Pale Ale over the years. This film is intended to be as much about education as it is about entertainment.

Filming will not only take place in San Diego County, but also in breweries in northern California, Idaho, Wyoming, and Virginia. Outside of the United States, filming is planned for Germany, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Mexico, Denmark, and if the filmmakers can exceed their funding goal, there is the potential to film in Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. It may be surprising to learn that San Diego-style beers have served as inspiration for craft breweries in all of these countries.

SUDS COUNTY 2: The Boil Over was born out of director Sheldon Kaplan's passion for storytelling and good-tasting beer. Asked why it was important to make this film, Kaplan responded, "When I first started doing the research for the original movie back in late 2009, there were less than 30 brew houses in San Diego County.  Now that number has more than quadrupled to where we have more than 120 brewhouses in the county.  In addition, the West Coast IPA and San Diego Pale Ale beer style that San Diego craft brewing has become famous for, now dominates the national craft beer market and is increasingly influencing brewers outside of the U.S., too.  I believe the time is right to document this massive shift in the landscape which is especially interesting to me given that it that has occurred over a relatively short amount of time."

Rewards for pledges to the SUDS COUNTY 2 Kickstarter campaign (http://www.sudscounty.com) include, but are not limited to, digital downloads of the film, exclusive t-shirts made just for the campaign, credits in the film, and limited quantity brew days with some of the best breweries in San Diego County. If the film successfully hits its funding goal of $250,000, it will become the 10^th-highest funded documentary of all time on Kickstarter's platform.

SUDS COUNTY 2: The Boil Over is being produced by Ibhayi Media in association with Tostie Productions, LLC. The film is expected to be released on iTunes, Amazon Video, and digital downloads in Summer of 2017.  For a video about the film's Kickstarter campaign, more information on the film's story, and the official page for the Kickstarter campaign, please visit http://www.sudscounty.com.  For graphics or photos, please email kevin@sudscounty.com.

About the Filmmakers

Director and Producer of SUDS COUNTY 2: The Boil Over is Sheldon Kaplan of Ibhayi Media. Sheldon Kaplan was educated in South Africa and Australia. A graduate of South Africa's National Film School, he went on to work in numerous production capacities on multiple film and video productions in South Africa and Europe before becoming an in-house television commercials producer in Sydney, Australia. In 1989 he moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a film and television development executive. In 1996 he relocated to San Diego and was involved in the early days of content creation and nascent video streaming for what was in those days referred to as the world wide web. In 1999, a personal health crisis prompted him to quit the media business and he created a brand of indigenous South African herbal teas for the US market, including the first 100% USDA organically certified South African manufactured product. In 2010 the creative muses called once again and he returned to media content creation. In 2012 his company, Ibhayi Media released SUDS COUNTY, USA, an independent feature length documentary detailing the rise of the San Diego craft beer industry, which he had followed closely as a consumer - being a lover of craft beer, good wine and fine spirits. He currently runs Ibhayi Media in San Diego and considers himself indeed fortunate to live in America's finest city, which just so also happens to be America's finest beer city!

Producing SUDS COUNTY 2 with Kaplan is Kevin Tostado of Tostie Productions, LLC. Tostado previously worked as an Associate Producer on SUDS COUNTY, USA, and was excited for the chance to produce this sequel with Kaplan about his hometown. Tostado has also produced and directed Under the Boardwalk: The MONOPOLY Story, which won four Emmy awards for the Pacific Southwest chapter of the Television Academy. Tostado was a producer on Eternity The Movie, Yellow Lights, and the webseries Research. Tostado has been part of teams raising over $80,000 on Kickstarter in the past for various projects.

Pro Wrestling Legends to Star in Action/Horror Movie!

"We're about to begin shooting 'Church,' a movie unlike anything else ever produced," exclaimed producer/writer Tim Chizmar.  "We have amazingly talented actors signed, including some of the best-known professional wrestlers in the world, and we want YOU to be a part of it!"

"This is the greatest dream cast I could ever imagine," Tim continued, making no attempt to restrain his excitement.  "Nobody plays evil like WWE Hall of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.  But Jake is playing a very different role in our film; just wait until you see it!  We have Tommy Dreamer, John Hennigan (aka John Morrison and Johnny Mundo), Gangrel, Sinn Bodhi, Sabu, 'Mr. Wonderful' Rock Riddle and his valet Gold Digger, Shelly Martinez, Christopher Daniels, Trent Haaga, Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, Natalie Palamides, Scorch the Clown, Brian Zane, Thomas Gunter as the Archangel Michael, Maria Kanellis, Kreepy Karen, Larry Andrews, Leroy Patterson, Sam Culver, Alan Maxson, "Corpsey" Rhine, The Winner Twins, Lahna Turner, and Jeryd Pojawa as Lucifer Morningstar.  We just signed actor-fighter Matt Erdems; his fight scenes will be epic!  Lydia Backhouse is now confirmed for one of the starring roles! Plus others I can't reveal yet."

"Church" is not a place; it's the name of the film's main character, an unlikely hero who is thrust into a situation he never wanted - one that went far beyond his comfort level and the power of his personal faith.  Between battling demons, angels, hauntings, biker gangs, vampires, Lucifer, and even the possibility of the end of the world, Church will find the true meaning of why we are here and whether anything we do ever truly matters.

This film comes from the minds of 2-time Academy Award winner Jeryd Pojawa ("Abyss" & "Terminator 2") and famed horror writer Tim Chizmar.

NewLink Publishing announces the release of Book 2 in the MacKenna Saga, Plots and Prophecies to the E Book Market

The MacKenna Saga continues with the release of Plots and Prophecies. As with the first book, Mr. Draude takes the reader on an intense emotional roller coaster ride. His ability as a storyteller harks back to the early days of Science Fiction, while adhering to the current publishing standards of "Show, Don't Tell."

This second story follows the hero, Kalen, as he learns of family tragedy long ago and withheld from him. The plot twists. This second novel will have the reader turning pages to find out what happens next and wishing it wouldn't end.

One beta reader said:

"I had the honor of reading Plots and Prophecies before the book went into print and I enjoyed getting my first look. This is the second novel in the series, and is as an enjoyable and suspenseful as the first. The novel is full of plot twists that are not anticipated. I was left 'hanging' in interesting ways, wanting to know more but with no real idea what comes next. The reader does not actually want to know how this all ends. The fun, the real excitement, is not missing anything! The author included "logical" details to cause the reader to become involved in the story, but the details were not cumbersome like many other books."

Off-camera, Harlan's passion for physical fitness and overall health resulted in his professional personal training credentials and a service that places emphasis on special needs clients and clients with injuries. When asked why, he responded, "Because no one's limitations are too great, even if they seem insurmountable.

Path 11 Productions releases the trailer to The Path: Evolution

Path 11 Productions LLC is pleased to announce the release of the trailer to The Path: Evolution, the third and final chapter in The Path Trilogy documentary series. The Trilogy  investigates topics about out-of-body experiences, multiple-dimensions, remote viewing, psychic ability and the evolution of consciousness.  The Path: Evolution, is produced by April Hannahand directed by Michael Habernig both natives of upstate NY.

The Path: Evolution, picks up right where The Path: Beyond the Physical leaves off and answers the questions, what is the point of being in a physical body, how has consciousness evolved over the centuries and where is the human collective consciousness going from here? The filmmakers follow retired NASA nuclear physicist, Thomas Campbell as he spreads his knowledge and findings from his "big TOE" (Theory of Everything) to explain the consciousness system, or as Campbell puts it, the virtual reality we are living in. Out-of -body expert William Buhlman, remote viewer and former President of The Monroe Institute (TMI) Skip Atwater & former Executive Director of TMI Paul Rademacher, join the conversation in the third film that covers a 7 year span from 2008 - 2015.

The Path: Evolution will undoubtedly challenge the viewer's current belief systems and leave a lasting impression on human beings to reevaluate how they are behaving, treating others and existing in the world. This film will also create a high level of curiosity for the viewer to investigate the idea that there are different states of consciousness the human can explore if they can detach from the identity of being in the physical body.

"It has been a long 8 year journey since we started filming the trilogy.  I believe this project has helped change not only our lives producing the film, but hundreds and possibly thousands of other people by watching our filmed experts explain consciousness." says April Hannah, producer.

"Each film was meant to be able to stand on its own. But now watching the trilogy as a whole, it now has new meaning as one dynamic film interwoven footage over the course of 7 years." explains Michael Habernig, the film's director.

The Path: Evolution is scheduled to be released in June 2016 along with bonus material of deleted scenes and extended interviews.  Path 11 Productions  is currently taking pre-orders for both DVDs and Digital On-Demand Downloads at the website: http://www.path11productions.com.

About: Path11 Productions, is a for profit, independent production company located in Ulster County, NY.  Path11 Productions LLC is dedicated to filming documentaries and hosting a weekly podcast which focus on topics of consciousness and healing.  Path11 Productions LLC was formed in 2008 and has been selling The Path: Afterlife(2009) & The Path: Beyond the Physical (2013) documentaries both nationally and internationally on DVD and on Amazon.com, Gaia, & itunes as well Path 11's website, since its release in 2008.

WINTER FILM AWARDS, an Independent Film Festival organization in NYC, challenges the local community to create a 4-7 minute short film in a specified genre, tagline and prop in just a single gonzo weekend!  Thirty teams of the most creative people in the tri-state area have just 48 sleepless hours to decide what they are going to do, write a screenplay, assemble props, costumes and actors, rehearse, shoot, score and edit their film.  Students, amateurs, and seasoned industry veterans alike learn the importance of caffeine, team work and time management in successful filmmaking.

ABOUT THE EVENT

The WINTER FILM AWARDS 4^th Annual 48-Hour Film Challenge runs June 3-5 2016 in New York City and is limited to just 30 teams.  Team must sign-in at the WFA offices at 31 West 34^th Street at 8pm on Friday June 3.  Teams will be assigned a tagline and prop that must be used in their film, and will pick their film genre out of a hat.  Each team will then have exactly 48 hours to create their film and turn it in at the WFA offices.

Completed films are uploaded to YouTube to garner the coveted "Fan Favorite" vote. All films are then screened at a local venue the following weekend and prizes are awarded for Best Picture, Fan Favorite and more!

For the 2012 Challenge (https://winterfilmawards.com/48-hour-film-challenge/), teams had to contend with a large brightly-colored snowflake sugar cookie and a tagline from Fight Club. For the 2013 Challenge (https://winterfilmawards.com/2013wfa48/winners/), we made it even more difficult - Teams had a tagline from Ghostbustersand Gray Line New York provided each team with one-hour private shooting time on a double-decker sightseeing tour bus, complete with Tour Guide and Driver. For the 2014 Challenge, teams had to include Citibike in their story line. Visit the WFA YouTube playlist to view all of the amazing films. What can we possibly come up with next??

Entries may be shot either via traditional filmmaking equipment or teams can do the whole thing on smartphones.

Festival Founder George Isaacs says "The 48-Hour Challenge provides local filmmakers an awesome and fun chance to hone their skills in teamwork and gonzo filmmaking. Each year, we are so impressed with the incredible creativity of our Challenge teams - it's hard to believe that it is possible to create a watchable film from zero to complete in just a single weekend, but our teams manage to do it with flair.  The resulting works are not just watchable, they are fantastic!"

A week after the Challenge, the best entries will be screened at a local venue, followed by an Award Ceremony, awesome prizes and networking party.  Over $7k in prizes will be awarded.
