IT IS NON STOP FOR COMEDIAN AND TV STAR JESSICA HOLMES AS HOST OF ‘LOVE HER’ IN TORONTO, CALGARY & VANCOUVER

Jessica hosts the Winnipeg Comedy Festival Middle Age special airing on CBC TV on February 21^st at 9 pm.

Multi-talented comedian, actor, author and motivational speaker Jessica Holmes is back hosting the 2016 LOVE HER events this year in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. With live performances slated across Canada, a book on depression set to hit shelves next year, and a comedy special in the works, this Canadian funny-woman is busier than ever.

LOVE HER is an elegant evening in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada while raising awareness and crucial funds to overcome the most fatal women’s cancer. Hilarity ensues as Jessica Holmes dons the stage to host this memorable event that combines fashion, comedy, cocktails, dream getaway auctions and music.

Jessica also hosts the Winnipeg Comedy Festival Middle Age special that will air on CBC TV on February 21^st at 9 pm. The Middle Ages explores the fun and not-so-fun side of mid-life in today’s society — physical breakdown, hormone changes, the appeal and terror of imminent retirement, changing technology, and how you’re viewed by the media, your family, and partner.

Jessica has opened for the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Leslie Nielsen and Ellen DeGeneres, as well as hosted events for such visionaries as Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, and Oprah Winfrey!

The Ottawa-born, Toronto-based comedian is a sought-after keynote speaker at high profile events across the country. Holmes’s hilarious stories and unforgettable stage presence in her motivational comedy performance about positive psychology is called “The 60 Minute Perspective Makeover”. She offers audiences her own tips and perspective on how to lead a more fulfilling and happy life through setting personal goals with her popular comedy routines, motivation and celebrity impersonations.

This multifaceted talent deepened the scope of her material by becoming a Life & Career Coach through San Diego’s Life Purpose Institute. And it doesn’t stop there! Whether it is her daily 4-minute workout from Jessica’s Healthy 5 section, learning about a subject you’re passionate about or pumping up your self-esteem by kicking procrastination to the curb, Jessica believes that small changes are the surest way to feel stronger and more passionate!

She is best known for her seven-year stint on the award winning CBC series “Royal Canadian Air Farce”. In 2002, Holmes landed her own sketch comedy show appropriately titled, “The Holmes Show”. The show featured dead-on personifications of Celine Dion, Liza Minnelli and Geri Halliwell. That same year, her musical comedy special “Holmes Alone” won the Platinum Award at WorldFest. A graduate of Ryerson University’s Radio and Television Arts program, her career exploded after stints in The Second City, Just For Laughs festival, and TV shows like “Little Big Kid” and “The Itch.”

Crowned “The It Girl of Canadian Comedy” by The Globe & Mail, Holmes has shifted her comedy from the stage to the print world as a comedy author. Her book titled, “I Love Your Laugh: Finding the Light in My Screwball Life”, – available in Canadian and American bookstores – offers readers her witty observations on everything from her hilarious take on parenthood, her eclectic upbringing by a Mormon father and feminist mother, and her experiences as a missionary in Venezuela.

Jessica shares her hilarity in everything she does, which will be evident in her soon to be released second book in the works.

Jessica is available for interviews and photographs upon request.

ACTOR ROGAN CHRISTOPHER TAKES ON A CHALLENGING ROLE IN LIFETIMES’ TV MOVIE “PREGNANT AT 17” STARRING JOSIE BISSET AIRING AT 8:00 PM SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH and FEBRUARY 21ST AT 12:02 AM

Actor Rogan Christopher takes on a challenging role in Lifetimes’ TV Movie “Pregnant at 17.” With a single father that’s always gone, it’s understandable why 17- year-old high school dropout CHELSEA (Zoe De Grand Maison) falls for JEFF (Roark Critchlow), a successful, polished businessman who makes a million promises to her about their future. Unfortunately, Jeff is married to a veterinarian named SONIA (Josie Bissett), who desperately wanted a child but found out she can’t conceive. When Sonia discovers Jeff’s affair she becomes obsessed in finding out who his mistress is and begins to develop a friendship with Chelsea using a fictitious name. To her surprise she actually likes the young woman she expected to hate, and feels sorry for Chelsea when she tells Sonia that she’s pregnant and that the father (Jeff) wants nothing to do with her or the baby. She also confesses to Sonia that she’s only 17 years old. Sonia files for divorce and becomes an unlikely champion for Chelsea, doing everything she can to prevent Jeff from taking advantage of this young girl. It won’t be as easy as they thought, especially when a dark figure (Rogan Christopher) from Chelsea’s past emerges. Together, Chelsea and Sonia must each face their own truths and team up to fight not only for what’s right, but the life of the baby…

Rogan’s character, Greg Foster, is uneducated and stuck in the poverty trap. He’s angry at the world, and thinks he’s been ripped off his whole life. After robbing a neighborhood convenience store, Chelsea’s eyewitness testimony puts him in prison. While behind bars, his mind is consumed with revenge. On his release, he sets off to hunt Chelsea down, stopping at nothing to make her pay.

Rogan starred as Martin Tate in the feature film “Footsteps” which garnered him the award for Best Performance and the film won Best Picture at the 2012 Mississauga Independent Film Festival. “Footsteps” follows, Martin Tate, a young Afghanistan veteran determined to make his way out of violent and tragic military service after his best friend and bunk-mate’s suicide into peaceful civilian life, while struggling with past addiction demons, his overbearing widower father, and a new-found love.

In 2012 Rogan booked his first recurring role on The CW’s “Nikita” starring Devon Sawa, Peter Outerbridge, and Melinda Clark. Other television series Rogan has appeared include “Bitten,” “Reign,” “Saving Hope,” “XIII: The Series,” and the Battlestar Galactica prequel series, “Caprica.”

Rogan currently has two feature films in development called “Transcendence” and “In The Blood”. Transcendence is a psychological thriller that touches on metaphysics about a widower who is seduced in to a suicide cult. Rogan wrote transcendence and in December 2015 he was selected as one of six producers from across Canada to participate in the Power Pitch Competition at Whistler Film Festival. In The Blood is a feature film he is developing with Canadian Aboriginal filmmaker Kays Vanderest about a twenty-something whitewashed Indigenous girl reconnecting with her estranged father and a culture she’s never known after a chance encounter on skid row. Both projects are currently closing financing, and will shoot in summer and fall of 2016.

Rogan worked in Corporate Finance and Business Intelligence as an Analyst before moving to New York City to pursue a career in Acting and Filmmaking. He trained in New York City at Sanford Meisner’s prestigious The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre. He was a recipient of the Peter Armstrong Community excellence award for his contributions to Renascent Addictions Centre in Toronto. Dr. Patrick Smith of Renascent Canada (addictions recovery) is a good friend who Rogan has appeared in PSA’s and stays involved with their efforts as one of Canada’s leading addiction treatment centres.

Rogan was a two-sport athlete at Queen’s University (Canada), lettering in Football and Track & Field. At Queen’s, Chopped Canada host and first Bachelor Canada Brad Smith was a teammate and remains a close friend. Rogan earned a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, followed by a second degree in Applied Economics from Queen’s. He is also a graduate from Central High School in London, Ontario, known nationally for its academics, where he was classmates and friends with Juno Award winning Hip Hop artist, and CBC’s Q host, Shad. During his senior season at Queen’s a career-ending injury derailed his dreams of professional football. Later that year, his close friend and teammate was murdered in a student bar. Both things led him to evaluate what he really wanted to do with his life and everything came back to acting, writing, and his love for the art of storytelling.

Rogan is a home chef and loves to cook. While beginning his acting career in Toronto he worked at various fine dining restaurants. His warm root vegetable and bone marrow salad was published and featured in Canada’s National Post Newspaper.

Rogan is still very competitive in his workouts. He runs as a great way to relieve stress and maintain focus and mental acuity during shoots and between jobs. He incorporates a lot of his knowledge from his sports career into his athletic and dietary regimen. He is an avid golfer with an 8 handicap who has been playing since he was five years old. His favorite teams are the Patriots, Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Blue Jays. He loves to ski. He now resides now in Vancouver, BC, Canada with his puggle Cito, who is named after Toronto Blue Jays former manager Cito Gaston.

Rogan is available for interview upon request.

Full Blood Moon Entertainment announces distribution deal with Film Marketing Services in Los Angeles for their Indigenous Gothic Horror Film “Bohemian Blood”

The Four Horsemen of Full Blood Moon Entertainment Inc.(FBM) Gerald Auger, Cam White, Cam Belseth and Michael Bourree, are pleased to announce the completion of their production of the Indigenous Gothic Horror Short Film Bohemian Blood. The Film is lead by the acting of Indigenous Co-writer/Lead, Gerald Auger (Pawnee Killer from Hell on Wheels) alongside Actor/Writer/Director Cam White, who makes his international directorial debut on this no-budget, high demand film.

Filmed in Grande Prairie, Alberta with local cast and crew, what started as a 48hr Film Challenge blew up into something much bigger than anyone could have imagined. Spawning a new film genre (Indigenous Gothic Horror) European and Indigenous Worlds collide in this long awaited counter to the typical clash on film and allow the audience to see an Indigenous person in a horror movie lead role, breaking stereotypes.

Bohemian Blood has signed a world-wide distribution deal with Film Marketing Services out of Los Angeles and within two months has already been accepted into film festivals in; Culver City, CA, Silicon Valley, CA, Marina Del Ray, CA and New York City. Reps were present at the Sundance Film Festival market and will also make an appearance at the Berlin Film Festival Market later this year.

Bohemian Blood, tries to touch on many social issues while forcing the audience to interpret subtle hints of the underlying cultural themes. The story is about Indigenous Gothic Spiritual leader, The Bohemian Blood Master, who helps his women take back control of their lives by having them deal out punishment to the men who hurt them, and filling the Canvas’ with blood.

‘People are ready for a change and Full Blood Moon Entertainment is going to give it to them’ Actor/Writer/Director Cam White of Bohemian Blood and CEO of FBM.

Full Blood Moon Entertainment
Full Blood Moon Entertainment (FBM) is a diverse multi-platform company rapidly spreading the concept of Indigenous Gothic Horror, through film, television and new media. Actor/Writer/Producer/Director Gerald Auger (Hell on Wheels, Strange Empire, Into The West), is the President of FBM and driving force behind it all. He is supported by company partners (The Four Horsemen) Cam White, Cam Belseth and Michael Bourree. White is the Companies CEO and Writer/Director while Darkmass Productions owner Cam Belseth leads FBM’s technical team as head of production, and Michael Bourree is Editor and Chief of Post Production. FBM wants to spread the message of unification to all races and people through an unorthodox means of transportation, Horror Films. This contradiction and the Indigenous gothic spirit of Gerald Auger has caught the public’s interest and intrigue.

Indigenous Gothic Horror Genre, What Is It?
Indigenous Gothic Horror (IGH) is a new genre of horror movie that combines the European and Indigenous worldview through film, television and fashion. It is a form of ancient storytelling that has been passed down through the ages through oral teachings and stories. IGH maintains the authenticity of the Indigenous culture, language and way of life and respects and honours the Ancestry of the Indigenous People of the world. Combining dark colours with land based elements, Indigenous Gothic Horror is considered storytelling with a spiritual twist, and is rapidly gaining momentum and recognition in film, TV, fashion, and other new media worlds.

‘This world is ready for an Indigenous leader/actor in film to be more than Hollywood’s typical John Wayne version of an Indian on a horse wearing buckskin with a feather in his hair. All races of man need to be represented equally in film, television and new media in order to debunk and break stereotypes created by the Western World. We are on the cusp of global change and a collective consciousness of unity, healing and love’ Gerald Auger, President of Full Blood Moon Entertainment and the Bohemian Blood Master in Bohemian Blood.

The short film is the calling card Film for Full Blood Moon Entertainment who plan to corner the new niche market of Indigenous Goth. FBM currently has multiple film projects at various stages of development and the script for Bohemian Blood is currently getting finalized with plans to be ready for the markets by Spring.

Gerald Auger and Cam White are available for interviews upon request and can be reached at fullbloodmoonentertainment@gmail.com

Send Rachel Parent to Monsanto Shareholder Meeting

Rachel’s Story
This is Rachel Parent. She’s the founder of an organization called Kids Right to Know. At the age of 16, Rachel is already an accomplished public speaker and debater.

Rachel thinks kids—and everyone, actually—have the right to know what they’re eating. If food contains GMO’s (or “genetically modified organisms”), Rachel thinks it should say so on the label. That way, people can decide whether they want to buy it or not.

Monsanto Corporation is the world’s largest supplier of GMOs. Monsanto has fought against labeling laws. Rachel has some questions for Monsanto. In fact, lots of questions.

Monsanto’s annual shareholder meeting is being held on January 29 in St. Louis, Missouri. Rachel is attending. She holds the proxy of a Monsanto shareholder who can’t attend herself. All Rachel needs is the airplane fare from Toronto to St. Louis, and the accommodation expenses for staying there.

While in St. Louis, Rachel will join Anne Temple, an activist with Moms Across America—another organization that’s concerned about how to feed kids the healthiest possible foods. Together, they’ll put the hard questions to Monsanto.

They’ll also hold a public rally to inform people about GMOs and why the average person should want to know whether their food is genetically modified or not.

We’d like to raise $3,900 to cover Rachel’s expenses for this event. If there’s money left over, it will go to Kids Right to Know Community Association, to continue the work of informing the public.

Please help send Rachel to St. Louis with your donation of $10, $25, $50 or more. Please donate, then share this video with your friends and family. Share it with everyone who’s concerned about GMOs and healthful food.

I’ve created this crowdfunding site because I agree with Rachel’s concerns. I try to avoid eating GMO foods because many of them contain residues from Monsanto’s herbicide product Roundup. Roundup contains glyphosate salts and esters, and I’m suspicious that these chemicals are damaging to human health.

To donate, please visit: generosity.com/fundraising/send-rachel-parent-to-monsanto-shareholder-meeting

Tammy Gillis co-stars in Hallmark Channel’s UNLEASHING MR. DARCY airing Saturday, January 23rd at 9pm starring Cindy Busby, Ryan Paevey and Francis Fisher

Tammy’s directorial debut on the original comedy web series THE SUPPORT GROUP

Next up for Tammy Gillis is a lead role in Hallmark Channel’s UNLEASHING MR. DARCY that will air on Saturday, January 23rd at 9 :00 pm. In this modern day spin on “Pride & Prejudice,” Elizabeth Scott (Cindy Busby), is fishing for direction in her life and gets the opportunity to professionally show her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a fancy New York dog show. Dog show judge Donovan Darcy (Ryan Paevey) comes across as aristocratic and rude and a chain of misunderstandings unfold during the competition, complicating their mutual attraction. In true Jane Austen fashion, Elizabeth and Donovan begin to see the error of their ways and it turns out Mr. Darcy is far more kind and interesting than Elizabeth ever imagined. Tammy plays the lead role of Jenna Scott, an older and endearing sister to the female heroine, played by Cindy Busby. Both the sisters face the pressures from their mother to fall in love and get married. This movie is based on a book and is a play off of Pride and Prejudice. Tammy’s character unexpectedly finds herself meeting love at first sight.

http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/unleashing-mr-darcy/photos-from-unleashing-mr-darcy/9#listh

Just launched is Tammy’s directorial debut for the web series THE SUPPORT GROUP, which she also produced and acted in. The original comedy web series follows three unlikely friends, each facing their own challenges and coming together to save their beloved support group. Produced by Beyond Theatre Productions, the production team was featured in the Vancouver Sun as up-and coming filmmakers. The series airs on Beyond Theatre Productions YouTube channel.

Last summer took Tammy to Spain and Winnipeg to film the lead role in the feature film MENORCA. Menorca is a feature film directed and written by John Barnard of Farpoint Films. Tammy plays a hedonistic soccer mom who indulges in her fantasy world, breaking away entirely from her family and life of motherhood.

Uwe Boll announces that he is directing his last movie: the thrilling conclusion of the trilogy “Rampage 3: No Mercy” now in production in British Columbia & Washington D.C.

Boll plans to focus on his co-producing and global distribution company Event Film and his highly-praised fine dining venture Bauhaus Restaurant in Vancouver

Amidst his highly-praised venture into the fine dining scene by opening Bauhaus Restaurant, acclaimed director Uwe Boll has not put down the movie camera. Uwe is currently on location in beautiful British Colombia (Langley and Maple Ridge) and Washington, D.C. to film the anticipated Rampage 3: No Mercy during the first weeks in January. When complete, this film will mark the thrilling conclusion of the well-received Rampage series, an action-packed trilogy featuring domestic terrorist Bill Williamson (Brendan Fletcher, The Revenant). This time, Bill takes on Capitol Hill in the heart of Washington, D.C.

Following the success of Rampage and Rampage 2: Capital Punishment, Uwe Boll’s dedicated production team, writers, and lead actor Brendan Fletcher are back for another action-packed sequel. Other producers include the local talents of Michael Pohorly and Uwe’s wife Natalie Boll. Matthias Neumann, the German director of photography who has collaborated on almost all of Uwe’s films, is also back to deliver the high production value you can expect from the Rampage trilogy.

This will be the last film Uwe Boll will direct for awhile due to his current focus on co-producing and global distribution with his company Event Film, which has acquired high-profile films such as King Cobra (James Franco, Alicia Silverstone, Molly Ringwald, Christian Slater).

In addition, as many of his fans know, Uwe’s other passion is his newly opened and universally praised Bauhaus Restaurant located in the trendy Gastown district of Vancouver. Opened for less than a year, Bauhaus is already at the cutting edge of fine dining, delivering innovative techniques, fresh flavours, and exceptional service to downtown Vancouver. The menu, designed and prepared by world-renowned Michelin Star chef Stefan Hartmann, reflects a contemporary approach to traditional German cuisine and brings a new style of dining to Canada’s west coast.

Uwe is available for interviews upon request.
