Filmmaker Chassidy Jade speaks about her Film @_BrownBallerina on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

The BROWN BALLERINA MOVEMENT is the brainchild of Chassidy Jade, CEO and founder of Crown Me Royal Labs. It's foundation - a short film entitled BROWN BALLERINA is the dynamic movie and epicenter of Jade's creative vision.

The filmmaker's mission is to defy stereotypes one plié at a time! Touching on issues of race, politics and social class BROWN BALLERINA explores the full spectrum of ballet, giving viewers a glimpse into a world that before now was inaccessible.

The filmmaker believes that viewers will be inspired by the story's universal messages of self-love and power found in defining one's personal path. More than a movie, BROWN BALLERINA is a movement, with a fast growing national fan base.

The film's lead, Maryann Payne brings BROWN BALLERINA to life. With over a decade

of experience, the dancer and actress received her primary training at Lulu Ballet in Los

Angeles as well as Boynton Beach's Southern Dance Theatre. Payne went on to attend

Dreyfoos School of the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach as well as the New World School of the Arts in Miami Beach. Years of dedication translated into irrefutable skill, earning the ballerina a scholarship to the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program. Payne has also trained at the iconic Dance Theatre of Harlem and has been a featured dancer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

By the age of 3, BROWN BALLERINA'S lead choreographer, Shanna Woods was already in love with dance. She has trained with the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program and danced with Chicago's Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre. Currently a principle dancer at Cleo Park Dance Theatre in Denver, Woods credits dance with allowing her to see the world. She has performed in New York, New Zealand and countless places in between.

Filmmaker, Chassidy Jade believes that in addition to inspiring audiences to remain both physically and mentally fit, the BROWN BALLERINA MOVEMENT will encourage its followers to embrace their authentic selves. To quote Jade, "We're taught to relate, not to think for ourselves so that it's easy to find comfort in boxes that fit a specific character. Once you step outside that character, you become human."

The BROWN BALLERINA red carpet film premieres on Sunday, July 20th at the Little Haiti Cultural Arts Center, 212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL. at Miami 6:00PM. Attendees of The Brown Ballerina Red Carpet will be treated to a world premiere of the film, live entertainment, signature cocktails, gourmet tapas and exclusive Brown Ballerina Swag!

Micah Lee, Director of "GoldRush," a Festival Selected & Winning Short, on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

Micah Lee spent his early years in Georgetown, Kentucky but at six was whisked off to Honduras with his family for his parents' mission work. Then to Texas. Then to Paraguay. By thirteen he was back in Georgetown and had developed a passion for film. This quickly turned into film making in his parents' attic with a camcorder and anyone willing to participate. Editing using two VCRs. This led to filming and editing special occasions for friends and family. In 2006 he packed his belongings into his car and set out for California. His passion for film is stronger than ever and he enjoys all aspects of the process.

A young director's first foray into film making. A story about moving from a small town to make it big in California and all the unexpected bumps along the way. A theme that relates directly to actors but also anyone who's struggled with making it on their own. Based on this writer/director's own experiences, as well as those of his lead actor. Shot with a Nikon D7000. Made for less than $100, with the intent of making something minimalistic with available resources rather than money.

Director & Producer of the BunnyMan Franchise, Carl Lindbergh on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

Carl Lindbergh attended California State University Long Beach and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in film production in 2000. Shortly after graduation, Lindbergh formed his first production company, ANOC productions i.e. A NO ONE CARES PRODUCTIONS. The company would primarily focus on the funding and production of his feature films.

Synopsis
The adventures of Joe and Bunnyman know no limit of bloodlust and carnage. Bodies pile up as Bunnyman indiscriminately slaughters anything that crosses his path in a mutually beneficial relationship that gives Joe plenty of beef jerky to sell in his local store.

About the Film
The Bunny Man character was inspired by the true story of an axe-wielding man in a bunny suit who terrorized residents of Fairfax County, Virginia in 1970.  Going wild with that inspiration, writer/director Carl Lindbergh and his company ANOC Productions created and released Bunnyman in 2011.  Despite mixed reviews, the film gained a sizable following and has been known to play back-to-back on the cable TV channel Chiller.
 

Bunnyman Massacre was completed in 2013 and it's obvious that the ANOC Productions crew took notes from the response to the first film -- This one is leaps and bounds (pun intended) ahead of the original in all aspects from the visual quality to the acting, direction, story, and horror elements.  Bunnyman Massacre premiered on Chiller over Easter weekend this year.
 
If you like your horror served with heaps of gore, lots of kills, memorable characters, and dashes of nudity, humor and general offensiveness, this film is certainly for you.  And with a third installment in production, Carl Lindbergh's bloody and furry creation is on track for true horror franchise status.
 
"Inspired by the fans requests, Bunnyman 2 aka The Bunnyman Massacre was born," explains Lindbergh. "With Bunnyman 2 we were able to realize the potential of Bunnyman 1, and at the same time create a franchise that will continue with Bunnyman 3 (which is currently in production.) What I appreciate with The Bunnyman Massacre is that we were able to make a film that really stands apart from all the countless slasher films, and deliver a film that is very unique."

 BUNNYMAN MASSACRE hopping its way to Home Video this August

Midnight Releasing is set to unleash the demented Bunnyman Massacre this August on DVD and VOD across North America.  Also known as "Bunnyman 2", the film is a drastically improved sequel to the 2011 cult hit Bunnyman which gained notoriety from a huge amount of press, as well as being in heavy rotation on the cable TV channel CHILLER.  Availability information is forthcoming.

Interview with @ChrisKanik, the co-founder of NuHo Film Festival (@NuhoFilmFest) on #TheSashaMarinaShow

The 2014 NuHo Online Film Festival

The New Hollywood (NuHo) Online Film Festival is a whole new experience for both filmmakers and audiences.  It brings the full festival experience to the comfort of your home.  Watch films, stream live events, vote for your favorite films, and be part of the action no matter where you are in the world.

Have you ever wanted to go to Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW or Cannes but couldn't make it happen?  Well now is your CHANCE!  Beginning onFebruary 7th you can get access to Hollywood's newest and freshest films before they hit theaters!  For ONLY $14.99 you can have total access to the NuHo Film Festival and stream over 21 films, interact with filmmakers, and watch panel discussions with industry veterans.

 

"We are offering everything other film festivals offer -- where you watch films, stream live events, attend panel discussions and meet other filmmakers -- the only thing we can't provide is a cocktail," says Keith Mitchell, CEO of New Hollywood Entertainment.

For decades filmmakers have had only one option for the distribution of their films -- the traditional Hollywood system.  With the landscape of content delivery ever-evolving, filmmakers and movie goers now have an alternative system.  Films are only screened for the duration of the festival, as not to cannibalize the value for distributors, and NuHo's state of the art encryption technology ensures there are no piracy issues.
 

"NUHO is founded by filmmakers for filmmakers and we have created an amazing showcase platform for you to discover the best and brightest of the film community," adds Mitchell.  "The festival business is a necessary spoke in the wheel of film distribution, however, when the festival benefits the hosts more than the filmmakers that is wrong.  We offer filmmakers a friendly site where everybody succeeds."
