Eye of Ra; A Occult Horror Feature Comparable to The Exorcist and Amityville Horror



Katherine was born with the power to control the elements. Her whistle called the winds. Her tears refreshed the earth. She was able to see into the realms where fools and angels fear to tread. Her daughter, Sandra, was born with gift that were complimentary—or they should have been. Sandra had the ability to nurture and heal. Her gifts gave her the ability to see and heal others' pain. She could foresee their destinies and give them the courage to embrace their futures Yet it was not enough for her. Sandra wanted more power—more direct control over the world and the realms beyond. When her daughters' developed the gifts she craved, Sandra's envy turned to hatred. When a voice from the dark void reached out and asked, “What would you do to have their power. Sandra replied, “Whatever it takes.”



Eye of Ra is an occult-horror, which is comparable to The Exorcist and Amityville Horror with the tagline, “when a mother eats her young, no one is safe.”

David Ferruolo Joins Horses and Heroes Team




















Traverse City MI   The new Reality TV series, Horses and Heroes announces the addition of Navy Seal veteran, David M. Ferruolo to the team as Veteran Coordinator and Peer Support Team Leader.   



Many labels can be accurately applied to Ferruolo: veteran, healer, author, adventurer, and video host-producer.  A former Navy Seal and successful business owner, Ferruolo is an accomplished musician, an avid hiker, kayaker, rock climber, horse enthusiast, skier, and snowboarder. He has 100 plus skydives, over 10,000 scuba dives to his credit and hosts his own TV series called NH Alive.






He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Suma Cum Laude from the University of New Hampshire with a Master’s Degree in Social Work.  Currently, he is studying for his Doctorate at the Plymouth State University.




A published author of several self-help books and numerous articles, Ferruole’s focus remains on veterans’ issues.    As a Navy Seal, Ferruolo understands the physical and emotional challenges that war brings into military personnel’s lives.   His interest in Equine Therapy was prompt by his own life experience.  The positive affects Equine Therapy made in his own life led him write articles and produce videos promoting its effectiveness on combat related issues.  As a dynamic presence both in front of and behind the camera, Ferruole uses his talents and unique voice to produce videos, which show other veterans the healing and supportive effects of working with horses.





Currently Ferruolo works at Health First Family Care in their Psychotherapy & Behavioral Health department.  His duties include individual and group outpatient psychotherapy, resource support and advocacy for marginalized populations, multidisciplinary collaborations, and team development.

Joining the Horses and Heroes team as the Veteran Coordinator and Peer Support Team Leader, he will be a major voice in deciding which veterans will be chosen to participate in the program.  His experience on and off the battlefield gives him the leadership and the compassion to lead the peer group sessions so that they will be beneficial to the participating veterans as well as the viewers.






Horses and Heroes is a Reality TV series, which will combine Equine Therapy with Peer Support to help military personnel and veterans find new ways to cope with their physical and emotional challenges.  Each season will be set at an existing Equine Center and will focus on telling the stories of eight veterans.  Although veterans can’t go back and make a brand new start, they can start from now and make a brand new end.  David Ferruolo will be part of the team that helps them find the strength and courage within themselves to build that brand new end.

Horses and Heroes is a reality TV series, which promotes healing rather than bad behavior. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the focus will remain on the veterans and how their lives as well as those of their families were changed by the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war.
Horses and Heroes has a ready made market with a demographic that crosses all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and genders, especially the 18 to 35 year age group, many of which are currently returning from service and are being discharged. Our target audience will also include military personnel, veterans, and their families from past conflicts.
Additionally, we will be hiring veterans, both those already in the industry and those looking for new careers, for the jobs behind the cameras.

Horses and Heroes: Peer Support Saves Lives



Horses and Heroes is a reality TV series, which promotes healing rather than bad behavior. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the focus will remain on the veterans and how their lives as well as those of their families were changed by the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war.

Veterans supporting veterans has always been more effective than working with civilian therapists. They have been there and done that, which is why they know when to cut slack and when to call the other on the BS.

Each season, Horses and Heroes will bring together eight veterans, who want to reclaim their lives from their physical and emotional challenges. They will support each other as they work with the horses and tell their stories.

Veterans can't go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from now and make a brand new end. Together they will give each other the strength and courage they need to change their directions of their lives toward the new end.

When love is forever, death is only the beginning



Have you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if it could save you life?

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.

Gun Nuts throw verbal rocks at The Wounded Warrior Project


"Wounded Warriors Project called legal scam as scandalous news spreads"

 Follow the link to read the article. http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=10373

The title of this blog post on the surface sounds like a scandal in the making, until you read the article and research the organization behind it. It is in fact very defamatory and bias.

Taken directly from their website:

"Guns Save Life is a regional civil rights organization that works
to educate the public about the benefits of firearm ownership.

The group had its origins as a county grassroots committee of the
Illinois State Rifle Association in about 1995, initially meeting
in Rantoul, and later holding its monthly meetings in the Jolly
Roger restaurant in Urbana, IL.

GSL was later incorporated as its own non-profit corporation and
today represent gun owners in Illinois, Indiana and beyond in
proactive grassroots activism promoting and defending firearm
rights and the civil right of self-defense."

However, the only Civil Right they defend is their version of the Second Amendment.
From the article, it seems the GSL took offense when the Wounded Warrior Project didn't immediately support their organization. They are all about guns and the Bible. You know the type, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."



The Wound Warrior Project refused to allow the GSL to use their logo or to have their brand connected with them, so they threw verbal rocks at the salaries the WWP's officers and their fund raising events.
Just reading headlines can be very dangerous practice. It's easy to be mislead. But if you take the time to read and research with the first question being, "Who benefits?" you learn the truth about the who, what, where, and more importantly the why.






 
Horses and Heroes combines the concepts a talk show with that of a documentary, by combining 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.

Never Can Say Good-bye: The reincarnation of Ghost, The Others, and the TV series Dark Shadows



Never Can Say Good-bye is a paranormal thriller, which brings back the suspense and horror of a traditional ghost story. Much like Ghost, The Others, and Dark Shadows, Never Can Say Good-bye is a family friendly film that focuses on suspense rather than gore.




Based on character and plot development, Never Can Say Good-bye is a low budget, family friendly film. Unlike the current trends of big budgets that balance on the reputations of one or two A-listers, we have an ensemble cast of recognizable talent as well as the very talented A-listers of the future. If you are innovative, you don't have to spend a 100 million to make a good film. You just need to start with a solid script and add in talented people both in front of and behind the cameras. 

Have you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if it could save you life?

The former New York Giant and Tampa Bay Buccaneer, Goode has appeared in 22 films and 40 national commercials as well as in several television series and made for TV movies.


Much like Ghost, Always, and The Others, Never Can Say Good-bye is a traditional ghost story with several unique twists. With the logline "love can be a blessing or the curse that destroys a town, it poses the question, "If you were given a second chance, would you choose love or revenge?" Most quickly say love, but if the revenge was on the person, who murdered your child, would the answer be as easy?

 


Goode will be breaking his type casting to star in the emotionally charged role of Michael Scott. A Historian, author, and college professor, Michael is man, who is very passionate about life. Though he loves deeply, he has never loved completely. There has always been a missing piece in every relationship that left him feeling lonely and empty. On a soul level, he knew there was only one woman, who can complete him. When he met Shane, she felt familiar and he thought he found his twin flame. Yet as he comes to know the true nature of her heart, he has to decide between rekindling love’s flame or allowing the flames of revenge to destroy them all.





Conrad Goode is an American actor, screenwriter, film producer, musician and artist. He has appeared in 22 films, best known for his roles in Don't Say A Word, Con Air, Anger Management, Me, Myself and Irene and The Longest Yard. Conrad got his start in a Miller Lite commercial with Joe Piscopo, which ironically has lead to a career of working with numerous SNL alums, including Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, Chris Farely and others. Conrad has appeared in a dozen T.V. shows and notably Saturday Night Live, plus reoccurring on One Tree Hill season four.






 


















 

Conrad has appeared in 40 national commercials, one being the famous Nike Bugs Bunny/Michael Jordan commercial where he was the first human to touch the animated Bugs. Conrad most recently wrote, produced and stared along with Laura Bell Bundy and Bailee Madison in the film Watercolor Postcards in 2013. 


 


 

Conrad is lead singer/songwriter/guitarist in the band The Chariot Waltz, a published poet, and a painter. A former professional football player for the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Conrad was an UPI, Football News 1st team All American, offensive lineman in 1983 out of the University of Missouri. He was inducted into the University of Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.



Additionally, Never Can Say Good-bye's cast will also include: Kimberly Estrada, Bill Hayes, Lillian Lamour, and John Thomassen. Lauren Holly and Ellen Burstyn are also being considered for roles. Never Can Say Good-bye will be directed by Stanley Livingston. It was written by award winning screenwriter and author, Theresa Chaze. Michigan based Producer, Pam Wenzel, will be coordinating the logistical challenges of the cast and crew. It will be filmed in the northwest part of Michigan.

Saving Our National Treasures: Protecting the Yellowstone National Park Wolves





Timber wolves were hunted into extinction They no longer exist in the wild. Gray Wolves are the nearest species in size and temperament that is available. They are also native to the North American continent. The Canadian subspecies became known for the colder climates. The same people who are claiming the Gray wolves are invading the country are saying the same thing about the wild horses and they are genetically the same as the horses who lived here before man arrived.

Wolves were reintroduced to recreate ecological balance. Wolves and other predators kill only the sick, old and weak, leaving the resources for the healthy and strong. They also keep the herds moving, which also also strengthens the individual animals and keeps them from over grazing an area. Keeping the herds moving makes the environment stronger and more able to feed more animals. Unlike hunters, they kill only what they need to survive. The only thrill killers are trophy hunters.
You talk about families depending on hunting to survive. That is the 50-50 of living off the land. It makes you no different than the wolves. You have a 50 percent chance of eating and 50 percent chance of going hungry. Don't like it, then change your lifestyle.

Hunters take the biggest and best, which genetically weakens the species. They also prefer an easy kill, which means they don't want the herds to moving. As I said they are the thrill killers, who are more interested in bragging than actually hunting.

Some people claim that the reintroduction has hurt the local  economy, They say that the wolves have reduced the income from hunting, thereby costing people jobs and businesses income.   Eco-tourism is a hundred times more profitable than hunting. Tourism has increased by 30% since the reintroduction of wolves. The study done on Ontario proved that hunting was a 2 million dollar a year industry. Eco-tourism brought in 70 million. As a whole a families spend more and have a tendency to return from generation to generation because the experience is positive. An endless number of people can enjoy watching the wolves and the other animals. But only one person can kill and then it's over forever.

The herds have not declined as much as hunters claim. They are just spread out over a larger area. Hunters actually have to hunt, instead of going out for a quick kill so they can get back to the bar to brag.

From 1995 to 2009, there was also a dramatic increase of Elk licenses sold and animals killed, which doesn't include those illegally taken off season. The increases of elk killed causes a drop in the breeding stock. It takes time for the numbers to recover.

Ranchers have also been increasing their usage of public lands. Cattle and sheep are in direct competition for the same food as the herd. Since their teeth are so far back in their jaw, cattle rip and tear the plants up, which destroys the root base of the plants and limits the herds ability to feed.
The oil and gas companies have also been given access to public lands. Their pipelines have contaminated the waterways and altered the migration patterns.

Nation wide predators, not just wolves but all predators, kill less than 1% of the livestock. Ranchers are compensated for the loss of their animals, so there isn't a financial hardship for the ranchers.
There has been more disease spread by abandoned dogs, than wolves. Domesticated dogs don't survive well in the wild, because they can't take care of themselves. like wolves can. They are more likely to attack livestock and people. There has not been one substantiated case of a wolf attacking a human in the entire history of this country.

All these negatives were caused by man, not the wolves. Wolves are part of nature. If you want to live in the wild, they come with the turf. By hiring themselves as  out as eco-guides, locals would create income by showing people the wonder of their area that only a native would know. A math question. What adds up to more income? Taking one hunter out to kill that can only be done once or taking families out repeatedly?

John Wayne Bosley: The House That Jack Broke

 




















Until You Walk The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with producer and writer John Wayne Bosley on March 1, 2013 at 5 pm eastern as he talks about her new film The House that Jack Broke and the changes in the Michigan film industry.





Born on an Air Force Base in North Dakota, John Wayne Bosley was named after the legendary actor John Wayne. At age seven, he started writing the stories that influenced his films. By age twelve he had written his first screenplay, The Knight Story.



In 2001, Bosley wrote the script, which would later be the film: “The Allan Carter Saga Part I: Amnesia.” "Amnesia" took six and a half years from pre-production to completion and toured throughout Maine in 2008. His first film he was the writer/director/producer/actor/and post production.



In 2009 Bosley created RebFest.com, the first Twitter-based film festival, in order to create a platform in which to show his film “Amnesia” to his audience on Twitter. Yahoo News wrote up a story on the festival.



In 2010 Bosley turned his attention to creating his first micro-pilot short film. The concept of a micro-pilot is the combination between the TV pilot and viral videos. The short films are 5 minutes or less that encapsulates an idea of a TV show or film, yet leaving the audience wanting more. Bosley's first micro-pilot was “Awakening” which was shot in 2010. Later Bosley shot “Foreshadow” a micro-pilot for the film The House That Jack Broke.



In 2011 Bosley went into production on his second feature film, The House That Jack Broke. The film was set in Maine but 90% of it was shot in south east Michigan and used and all Michigan cast and crew. Currently Bosley is set to show his film in it's official Michigan Premiere in Royal Oak, Michigan as part of a 3 location tour of the film in the state. Later Bosley is looking into taking the film back to Maine and also to Los Angeles.






The House That Jack Broke Synopsis
