Young Vancouver actor William Ainscough stars on City’s new original series “Seed”, premiering February 4th, 2013

At just nine years old, William is following in his parents’ footsteps entering the world of entertainment.

Nine-year old actor William Ainscough is making a serious impression in the film and television industry, booking his first two auditions after deciding he’d like to follow in his parents’ footsteps (his mother is actor Nicole Oliver and father is music producer Chris Ainscough), and enter the world of entertainment. William’s television debut comes next month, in the new original comedy series “Seed”, premiering February 4th on City. The series will give everyone a chance to see just how talented this young up-and-comer really is. The series gave William the chance to act opposite his mother in several episodes of the series, when she plays Billy’s teacher, Mrs. Anderson. The show will air Monday nights on City at 8:30pm ET/PT.

William had a terrific experience filming in Halifax, and before he returned home when filming was finished, he and co-star Abby Ross gave back to their temporary East coast home. The two young actors raised $1080, which they donated to the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.

William’s very first attempt at acting was a success, when he landed his first audition—an open casting call for the feature film “Hidden”. The feature film, which follows a family hiding in a bomb shelter after a mysterious outbreak devastates civilization, stars Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and is directed by the Duffer Brothers. William was successful in landing the role of Joey, a slightly shy and soulful neighbourhood boy. The movie is set to hit theatres late this year.

William’s interest in the acting world began after a set visit to watch his mother in action. It was then he decided to try acting for himself, and began taking classes. It was clear after booking his first two auditions that it was a path well chosen. William’s mother, Nicole Oliver is an established Canadian performer, with credits including the host of “Crash Test Mommy” for 5 seasons and appearances in a variety of film and television roles (most recently she appeared on the series “Rogue”, starring Thandie Newton). She is also widely recognized for her vast list of voice-over credits and has lent her voice to such projects as the “Barbie” animated film series, “Littlest Pet Shop” and “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”.

William is an accomplished drummer, loves soccer and baseball, and is a huge fan of the online game Minecraft. He is thrilled to be able to add ACTOR to his resume of accomplishments.

IndustryWorks Pictures announces U.S. distribution deal for what’s being called ‘today’s modern day horror film’ – “American Mary”

Leave a reply

IndustryWorks Pictures has an exciting announcement to make as they bring their widely praised thriller/horror feature “American Mary” to the US market. The festival circuit gem, stars “Ginger Snaps” alum Katharine Isabelle and was the recent recipient of 11 awards at top genre festivals across North America, including the honors for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress.

XLrator Media has acquired all U.S. rights to the horror sensation, AMERICAN MARY, produced and represented worldwide by IWP. This female- centric surgical horror-thriller will be released on XLrator Media’s newly announced Screamfest label in Fall 2013.

IndustryWorks Pictures is excited to bring the film to the US market with XLrator Media and their Screamfest label where American Mary picked up five awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Makeup. It also won six awards at the Toronto AfterDark festival including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Most Disturbing Film.

Evan Tylor, President of IndustryWorks Pictures says, “American Mary was a risky film to take on but we believed in the talent, the material and our ability to get the film in the right hands and get audiences talking about it. We went for it based on the uniqueness of the creative package. More cool films coming from IWP in 2013.”

“American Mary” stars Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps’ franchise) and Antonio Cupo (Dark Angel, Bomb Girls) in a story of medical student, Mary Mason (Isabelle), as she grows increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the surgeons that she once admired. The allure of easy money and notoriety sends Mary into the messy world of underground surgeries that leaves more marks on Mary than her so-called ‘freakish’ clientele. The film is directed by Jen & Sylvia Soska and produced by Evan Tylor and John Curtis.

The film stars Ben Cotton (Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, Stargate: Atlantis) and Daniel Arnold (The PI Experiment, Penguins) with Katharine Isabelle (American Mary, Ginger Snaps) & Amy Matysio (Just Friends).

It’s every director’s dream to have such a dedicated and talented team behind their first feature. It’s kind of like being on a runaway train, but one that you just know is going to end up in a very fun place. There is such a buzz of excitement emanating from everyone involved. We are extremely grateful for the support from Telefilm Canada without whom, this movie could not be made. – Director Matthew Kowalchuk

The film has attracted a talented team that includes award winning twin Cinematographers Nelson Talbot & Graham Talbot (Primary), Production Designer Guy Roland (Backmask), Costume Designer Jojo MacDowall (The PI Experiment) & Editor Greg Ng (Ends of the Earth, Sunflower Hour). The film was cast by Emmy-nominated Candice Elzinga Casting.

Goldstein Douglas Entertainment Fearless Feature Film “Shame on Shelley Bennett” at MIPCOM

Leave a reply

Goldstein Douglas Entertainment is adding another top-level entertainment project to its roster, with its recent acquisition of the rights to distribute the film “Shame on Shelley Bennett”, starring the popular comic of the same name. Goldstein Douglas Entertainment will be representing the film at MIPCOM in Cannes from October 5-10, 2012.

The Midwest meets the Middle East in “Shame on Shelley Bennett”, a feature length documentary starring actor/comedian Shelley Bennett. The film is an honest and funny portrayal of Shelley’s journey as an American girl who falls for a Muslim man. Now, after getting married to Mohamed, she must face her own misconceptions and fears of Islam.

Shelley quickly immerses herself into a new culture and religion by participating in 30 days of Ramadan, and travels the world while creating a poignant dialogue through her stand-up comedy. Throughout her trials and tribulations, she is called an “ignorant American” and finds herself in the Middle East getting interviewed by Al Jazeera.

Finally, she grows to respect a culture and religion that she may never completely understand, while dealing with the harsh realities of an inter-faith marriage. Is love enough to bridge the gap between the West and the East or will their relationship bomb? The timely, political film also stars renowned comedian and actor Maz Jobrani.

Shelley Bennett is an American actress, comedian, writer, and producer. She grew up in Southern Indiana and moved to New York after college. She has come a long way since her beginnings off-broadway and first television role, playing “Vivian Goodmanson” on “As the World Turns”. Shortly thereafter she moved to Los Angeles and has worked in TV and film starring opposite Emmy nominee Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) as well as Stacy Keach. She has done voice over work for Disney and has also performed as a stand-up comic all over Los Angeles including the Comedy Store. Just before the Arab Spring in Egypt, Shelley served as a film juror for the 19th Cairo International Film Festival for Children.

Also a part of the “Shame on Shelley Bennett” team is established Writer/Producer/Director Stephen Lentini. He has worked for the past 14 years in TV and film production, programming and branding for such networks FOX, NBC, MTV, VH-1, FUEL TV, Fox Sports Net, Fox Reality Channel, USA Networks, Spike TV, Discovery Channel, Court TV, TLC, Showtime and Lifetime. He has also written and produced other dynamic documentaries, including, “GMAC Big Wave Attack: The North Canyon” and “The Glacier Project”. Scripted feature film credits include, “Machine Head” and “Beware”.

Actor Sean Rogerson Reprises Role in Supernatural Sequel “Grave Encounters 2”

Leave a reply

“Grave Encounters 2” will have its Canadian premiere at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival on October 22nd, 2012.

One of Vancouver’s most sought-after actors, Sean Rogerson, continues to pique audiences’ interest with his latest project “Grave Encounters 2” —where he reprises his leading role as a ghost hunter. This independent film from the Vicious Brothers is a follow up to 2011’s popular release “Grave Encounters”. The plot is set around the filming of a paranormal investigation TV show and contains terrifying moments that shock even seasoned horror movie buffs.

“Grave Encounters” told the story of a group of reality television hosts that travel the country in search of supernatural activity. Sean delivered an outstanding performance as Lance Preston, head of the film’s ghost hunting team left responsible for shooting an episode inside an abandoned Collingwood Hospital, where unexplained phenomenon had been reported for years. “Grave Encounters”, Sean’s first leading film role, showcased his acting chops, and the movie as a whole helped reinvigorate the horror sub-genre with a clever, well shot and genuinely creepy haunted house tale.

Before breaking into the film industry, Sean was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and worked in the oil fields before moving to Vancouver. Upon arrival, Sean made the decision to follow his passion for acting and quickly hired an agent. Beginning with commercial work, he was fortunate enough to study with greats such as Brenda Crichlow, Gina Charreli and Larry Moss (Hillary Swank’s acting coach in ‘Million Dollar Baby’ and ‘Boys Don’t Cry’). The knowledge he received from these impressive coaches allowed him to land leading roles in a collection of television series’. Sean graced television screens on “Supernatural”, “Smallville”, and “Psych”. Other television projects include “Sanctuary”, “Fringe”, and the feature film “Underworld Evolution”. Most recently, he booked a supporting lead role in the upcoming film 12 Rounds: Reloaded. His role as Joel Booth in the CBS primetime mystery “Harper’s Island” effectively showcased his talent and made him a natural choice to star in “Grave Encounters”.

Sean’s upcoming project, with his anticipated reprisal of Lance Preston in “Grave Encounters 2” promises to again leave audiences shaking in their seats. The sequel centers around a group of friends obsessed with the film Grave Encounters, as they research past events and visit the hospital depicted in the original film. They find themselves face-to-face with unspeakable evil, banking on the hope that their knowledge of the original film will help them survive the sequel. “Grave Encounters 2” is now available to rent in the US on VOD and iTunes, and is set for a select theatrical release and midnight screenings beginning on October 12th, 2012.
