Award winning September 11-themed documentary producer featured on Fox Network for 9/11 anniversary


    Producer for award winning “The Cross and The Towers” documentary speaks on film’s controversy


    StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 06, 2011 - Montreal, Canada – A legal battle  has taken center stage between New York city officials and atheist interest group American Atheists Inc. over  two charred metal beams in the form of a ‘cross’ which were rescued from the twin towers rubble at ground zero.  Scott Perkins, executive producer of “The Cross and The Towers” documentary shares his story with Megan Kelly at Fox and Fox and Friends, in anticipation of the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City . During critical rescue operations,  the contentious beams were alleged to have been a spontaneous source of inspiration to certain firefighters and first-responders at the scene, a position which has angered an atheist group seeking an injunction against the display of the “cross” during the highly anticipated memorial service at Ground Zero, to be attended by President Obama and other notable officials.


    View trailer here:

    “The proposed lawsuit appears to hinge on the frustration of an atheist interest group with regards to purported religious symbols like the steel cross being included in a memorial such as 9/11.  The film 'The Cross and Towers' in fact tells the story of how more than a few of  New York’s firemen and policemen drew strength for a few moments between moments of panic, from this unlikeliest of Christian symbols perched amid the wreckage of the twin towers. The pieces of metal have since been included in a range of memorials marking the tragedy. To be frank, as the international distributor of the film, I am happy to announce the controversy has attracted a lot of attention from worldwide TV and DVD outlets which we work with: says Dan Shannon, of ID Communications, the films international TV distributor.

    “When we made this film it won prizes and was recognized at several international film festivals. Now on the eve of the 10th anniversary at ground zero, I think we have the only authoritative and complete re-telling of the story behind the cross at ground zero. Today if the lawsuit serves as a platform to allow the stories of these bravest of American men and women to be heard by a wider audience, we feel it will have served a noble purpose” says the film’s producer Scott Perkins of Crossing Hollow Films. We are pleased to be receiving this much attention on the eve of the 10th anniversary for our story.

    The 54-minute documentary won Audience Choice Award at Palm Beach International Festival, Best Film at Gloria Film Festival, Crystal Heart at Heartland Film Festival and finalist in USA Film Festival.

Christa Couture Returns With Two New EP's!

    StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Jul 09, 2011CHRISTA COUTURE: FEARLESS & QUIRKY GRACE ON LOVED and LOST + July Tour Dates

    "... [With a] gorgeously intimate voice - somewhere between the tough vulnerability of Amy Rigby and the passionate, sophisticated folk of Joni Mitchell - Christa Couture sings with heart-on-sleeve intensity."  - PopMatters

    If it feels like you’ve been bombarded with Vancouver based artists lately there’s a good reason for it: The City of Glass keeps cranking out quality musicians with diverse musical visions at an alarming rate. Take Christa Couture, for example. From the start she established herself as a fearless and razor-sharp songwriter comfortable enough in her own skin not to shy away from delivering brave lyrics with effortless, quirky grace and heart-on-sleeve intensity. Though Christa has been on a two year hiatus, luckily for us, she’s returning to work (and form) with the digital release of two brand spanking new EP’s this July: Loved and Lost.

    Since her critically acclaimed debut Fell Out Of Oz (2005), and her sophomore effort, The Wedding Singer and the Undertaker (2008), Christa Couture has continued to sharpen her quill, along with her penchant for biting wit and an innate gauge for how deep to plumb the emotional seas of her personal experiences. These first two albums saw Couture developing as a multi-instrumentalist, stretching her limits as a songwriter and, guided by Vancouver producer Futcher, on her sophomore effort in particular, acquainting herself with dense production and orchestration that saw the inclusion of horns and strings. Not surprisingly, The Wedding Singer and the Undertaker hit the Top 10 on CBC Radio 3 and won "Best Folk Acoustic Album" and nominated for "Best Female Artist" at the 2008 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, including performing at the awards gala at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. In addition, she recently played at the 2011 JUNOFest in Toronto, "Brief Encounters 16" in Vancouver, and joined chamber-pop quartet E.S.L. and electro-cellist Cris Derksen on five B.C. tour dates in April.

    To say we are pleased to have Couture back and composing is an understatement. Loved features five stunning fan favourites, while Lost is a delectable, eclectic mix of five unreleased songs from the same time period: an alternately arranged song, three tracks from a previously unreleased side project, and an early demo of one of Couture’s first songs. In other words, something for critics, fans and newbies alike.

    Download Loved and Lost from http://christacouture.com for free (or by donation).

    JULY DATES

    July 16: Edmonton, AB @ The Haven Social Club, Edmonton

Anchor Baby feature film premieres in Canada in Home Town debut

    Immigration thriller "Anchor Baby" set for Canadian theatrical premiere in Toronto's Albion Cinema
    StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Jul 08, 2011 – Canadian produced feature film “Anchor Baby” an immigration thriller written directed and produced by  Lonzo Nzekwe is set to open in Toronto's Albion Cinema.

    The plotline is as follows: Married, illegal immigrant couple Joyce (Omoni Oboli) and Paul Unanga (Sam Sarpong) are ordered to leave the U.S. but choose to go in hiding instead. They are waiting for Joyce who is five months pregnant, to deliver the baby to guarantee automatic U.S. citizenship for their child. When Paul is caught and deported by agent Mark Castello (Michael Scratch), Joyce is left to struggle on her own to accomplish their dream.

    The film features Nollywood star Omoni Oboli (Figurine, Guilty Pleasures), Ghanaian-raised LA-based Sam Sarpong (Street Kings, The Dedd Brothers, Keeping Up with the Steins), Canadian actress/songwriter Terri Oliver and Canadian actor/model Michael Scratch (The Body Machine, Forensic Science). It grossed over 150,000 USD in Nigeria, making it the 3rd highest earning Nigerian movie in Nigeria cinemas after a 10 week run.

    Speaking of his choice to cast lead actress Omoni Oboli, writer-director-producer Lonzo Nzekwe said, “That decision is one of the best decisions I made in the earlier stages of production. I wanted someone who could transform the script and bring it to life. When I watched a few of Omoni’s movies… that’s when I decided she was the one.”

    “Anchor Baby” won Best Film and Best Actress at the Harlem Film Festival, the Emerging 20 award at the Reelworld Film Festival, the Award of Merit at the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood and the official selection of the Africa International Film Festival.

    "The film represents a new wave of emerging filmmakers with special appeal to the vast Nigerian diaspora audience, which blend Nigerian culture elements with a strong  North American cinematic style.  The films thus cater to a wide audience around the world." says Dan Shannon of ID Communications, the films international sales agent.Source URL: https://jembutmuwsexywallpaper.blogspot.com/search/label/Local%20Events%20and%20Talent

Ottawa Model Reaches For The Stars From The Miss Universe Canada Runway

    Jun 12, 2011 – Canadian Model Betsy Leimbigler from Ottawa, Ontario is competing amongst 57 other finalists from across the country for a coveted shot at the Miss Universe Canada title, and ultimately the Miss Universe crown itself. At just 20 years old, Leimbigler completed her University degree this June with Honours in International Studies and Modern Languages (she speaks 5) and is doing her Master’s in Political Science at the University of Ottawa. She was selected nationwide as a Senate Page and Parliamentary Guide to work on Parliament Hill. Having also studied, lived and traveled across Asia, Europe and Canada Leimbigler is definitely a tough contender when it comes to this competition.

    As part of her role and rigorous training as an MUC contestant, Leimbigler will be fundraising for charity and has organized a fashion and mini Miss Universe pageant for both Ottawa’s fashion elite and political figures. Leimbigler boasts an impressive background in charity work. Through her modeling agency Barrett Palmer and her personal dedication to community work, she has amassed a long resume that include various charities and organizations across Canada, and even received awards and scholarships for her efforts.

    “I wanted to create a fashion component to fundraising. I was inspired by recent charity fashion events held in Ottawa such as the Walk the Truth charity show, and being a model, I knew that I was going to incorporate fashion to get people engaged.” The “It Takes A Runway” fashion event is being held to raise funds for SOS Children’s Villages, an organization that is dedicated to raising and supporting orphaned and abandoned children from around the world. Recently, a handful of previous year’s Miss Universe Canada finalists took a trip to Nicaragua to help inaugurate computer labs for orphans and volunteer their time with kids. “I am excited to be able to hand SOS Children’s Villages a cheque from all of the generous donations we will be receiving at the event and be able to contribute in a different way.”        

    The event is being held in partnership with fashion/charity sponsor publicist Shaun Marq from B.A.D PR and SPEAK NOW and stylist Alison Hughes from AMH Style, and features clothing designs from Jana Hanzel and Emilia Torabi, as well as Jewellery from Mafia, Pish Posh, Leah Christina and Pica. Local fashionista Erica Wark will be emceeing, while Betsy will also play host to the evening and has created a mini pageant where she will model a gown and take Q and A from the attendees.

    It Takes A Runway is being held next Wednesday June 15th from 6:30 -9:30 PM at AMH Style and the Guest Room at 1440 Wellington St Ottawa. Minimum donation will be $10 at the door and guests will enjoy sponsored food and drinks.

    For more information or to schedule an interview with B.A.D PR or Betsy, contact Shaun at shaun@badpr.ca, shaun@speak-now.org or call 416.554.4594

The International Dimensions of a North American Idol

    StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Celebrity Cultural Critic Samita Nandy Traces the Spirit Behind Vikas Khanna’s Popularity
    His popularity is beyond the territories of Canada.  It transcends symbols of the nation and its continent.   Often symbols of nature construct authenticity while legitimizing boundaries of a nation.  For Vikas Khanna, however, authenticity resides in a spirit that most nations seek through their symbols.
    Toronto-born Vikas Khanna has performed in over 300 international and local shows in the United States, Canada, Europe, India and the Caribbean islands.  These include preeminent festivals such as Mehendi Masala Masti, Luminato, and Bell South Asian Festival in Toronto and television performances on ATN, OMNI, and Geo TV.  He has collaborated with a French producer on a private album ‘Circle of the Earth.’  It is co-produced by one of North America's preeminent producer, Peter Moore.   Vikas Khanna’s music composition for Shanti Baba Ram and Children of Hope is also well received and premiered on CBC channel in April 2010.
    The secret to Vikas Khanna’s success is staying in tune with his nature and path with passion.  Whether he is composing music or modelling, Vikas Khanna communicates a message through his arts:  “Do what you love and love what you do.” This is possible when we “live in the now,” says Khanna.   He adds that the message is so “simple that it is easy to ignore.”  But since he listened to his inspiration, he shared his musical talent with popular Bollywood stars such as Udit Narayan, Vinod Rathod, Manna Dey, Sharda, and Nitin Mukesh on stage.  His dream is to keep loving life in the way he does now.  He recently won the first runner-up title at the North American Desi Idol competition in Chicago, IL and his first single will be released in June 2011.
