Welcome Home Resumes; Transitioning from military to civilian life

Until You Walk The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with veteran supporter and creator of Welcome Home Resumes , Joseph Corsino on June 24, .2015 at 4 pm eastern as he talks how his organization helps veterans prepare for the transition from military life to civilian.

In 2012, Joseph Corsino founded Welcome Home Resumes, a free service for veterans who needed assistance with their resumes. Since then, the service has evolved into a complete Interactive Employment Program which includes Interactive Resumes, Interactive Interview Training, Job Matching and top tier support both during and after the use of the program. Joe saw a need for a program that was different, one that wasn’t afraid to think outside the box to address the issue of veteran employment.

The Welcome Home Group provides an innovative employment program to any and all veterans, along with their immediate family members. This free program was developed from the ground up to make a difference in the way veterans transition into the civilian workforce. Through our extensive research with HR professionals, hiring managers and veterans alike, we have created an employment system like no other. The program is comprised of several “Common-Sense” modules that allow our team to work with the veteran to develop their Interactive Resume, work on their job interview skills and use our employer matching program. Our program also brings “Follow-Up” into the equation. We work with the veteran AND the employer to track the veterans progress in their new position for the first 6 months after starting a new job.

Horses and Heroes combines the concepts a talk show with that of a documentary, by intertwining the spontaneity of a talk show with the scripted informational aspects of a documentary. It will utilize both interviews and practical demonstrations of horse therapy to give the audience a full understanding of how and why working with the horses help veterans heal. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the primary focus will be on the eight veterans as they sharing what they experienced while they served our country and how those events had a lasting effect on their lives as well as on those who love them.

orses and Heroes is not about pointing fingers or creating a political firestorm. It is a documentary series, which will help military personnel and veterans find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy does not involve drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts to a therapist. What it does do is help them find new ways to see and react to their emotional triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to work. It can't replace what was lost, but it can give them the confidence to see that they are more than the sum of their body parts. Horses and Heroes will give veterans and military personnel the information they need to find alternative healing solutions, which can help lower the suicide rate.

It will provide the dual benefit of also providing jobs. We will be hiring veterans already in the entertainment industry as well as opening the door for those who are looking for a new career.

Paranormal Thriller Feature Film Seeks Distribution

Never Can Say Goodbye is a paranormal thriller feature film that is a traditional ghost story with a unique twist. It is a family friendly film, which is reminiscent of the films Ghost, and The Others as well as the original Dark Shadows TV series. The genre and the cast gives it an excellent chance of being a very profitable both with the domestic and foreign audiences.

Traditionally paranormal films remain one of the most popular genre, especially with the foreign markets. It crosses all ages and gender demographics, but it is a particular favorite with the 18-35 year old age bracket. Filming will be in the digital format, which will lower costs, while increasing production values and its profitability margin. Our cast includes very talented experienced actors with strong fan bases as well as upcoming newbies.

Our low production budget with innovative production values will produce a quality film that will have a low break-even point. The high P & A budget combined with the new digital marketing techniques will increase our exposure both in traditional venues as well in the new Internet and with the mobile devices. Never Can Say Good-bye will intertwine the best of the traditional with the best of the modern to create a film that has the right message at the right time and the ability to reach not only the specific target audience, but it will also attract the general audiences as well.

Elizabeth was asked by her mentor to teach a writing course at a small college. Since she never forgets a kindness, she reluctantly agrees. Arriving in town, she instantly regrets her decision. She wants to run, but she is honor bound to stay. Even as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it?"

Love can be a blessing or the curse that destroys a town.

Veterans: It's time to tell your story

Although the recent attention has been placed on military personnel and veterans from the current conflicts, there are still many veterans from previous wars that have yet to deal with their emotional and physical traumas. The cultural standards forced these veterans to ignore their pain and pigeonhole their lives. However, in the years and sometime decades since their service, they have started to loose their ability to bury the pain. Horses and Heroes will be particularly helpful for theses veterans. With television's ability to reach into the privacy of individual homes, it will breakdown the walls that have kept them isolated and prove to them that they are the rule not the exception. It will give them permission to seek the help they need to heal the rest of the way home.

Horses and Heroes is highly relevant not only to military personnel, veterans, and those who care about them, but also to anyone who has experience a traumatic event in their lives. Additionally, alternative healing methods, such as Equine Therapy, have proven their effectiveness in healing both physical and emotional challenges. Yet there is very little information about the programs available through traditional venues.

Horses and Heroes ability to tell the personal stories of healing without censorship, while supporting the veterans as they find their way back is what makes it unique and without equal. Therefore it is very likely to again an audience that will include military personnel, veterans, and civilians.
