Poche Pictures Announces Batgirl Fan Film

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:21:02 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Help needed to finance the film Hollywood won't.

Tired of the cheesy super hero films put forth by Hollywood, Richard Poché is turning to comic book fans for funding of his fan film.

"Batgirl: Vampire Nights" will be a 35 minute short to be filmed in late April. To help bring "Batgirl" to life the team at Poché Pictures has turned to fundraising efforts through Kickstarter.com, a crowdfunding service utilized by a variety of artists to fund their projects.

Poché Pictures is hoping to raise at least $2,000 by March 24, 2012. Supporters can donate anywhere from $20 to $500 through http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pochepictures/batgirl-fan-film

The final product will be shown on Youtube in HD. Donors contributing $20 will receive a DVD copy of the film. Higher donation amounts garner personalized autographs of the actor of their choice.

"I'm hoping to raise at least two grand, which would be about a third of the budget," said Poché. "The rest I can finance myself. This will be my second go around at making a 'fan film' as it was great fun. This time we will have a bigger budget and a more experienced cast. They are talented, passionate, and knowledgeable about the history of their characters. It should make for a memorable entry into this growing sub genre of movies."

"Batgirl: Vampire Nights" begins when Robin falls into the clutches of a vicious vampire gang. Batgirl and Catwoman forge an uneasy alliance as they try to take down the coven of vampires. The short promises to have plenty of horror, film noir and satire of the world's hottest super heroines.

Richard Poché is a San Francisco Bay Area based filmmaker. He has been making indie films since 2002, including the forthcoming zombie anthology "Long Live The Dead", to be released through AFCinema. His vampire feature, "Crimson", was featured in Brazil's Fantaspoa Film Fest and his boxing documentary, "The Fight Life", was featured at last year's Oakland Underground Film Festival.

Poche Pictures has been producing indie films since 2002. Among the films include the boxing documentaries "Corazon" and "The Fight Life", the cult vampire hit "Crimson" as well as the forthcoming zombie anthology "Long Live The Dead."

An Opportunity for Investment and Partnership in the Most Worthy Cause.

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:21:20 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ For our first project we are looking for funding to make a movie on the 'Story of Wisdom' where our aim is to make clear to the world where mankind went wrong and show how the blunders can be corrected to put man on the correct path to a wise and prosperous society. The highlight of the movie will be a conference that will make clear the answers that the world is looking for.

Our Background

We have figured out what is wisdom and how it can be created on a mass scale.

Wisdom is the wealth of intelligence and just like wealth, wisdom is nothing on its own! Just like wealth has to be in something else like gold, real estate, stocks, bank balance etc. Again wisdom is like a
house. A house is the sum of its parts. A house is nothing without its building blocks. Similarly wisdom is nothing without/but its building blocks. The building block of wisdom is selflessness. By creating
selflessness we create wisdom.

We have quantified the mind and now emotions can be measured. We are founders of Wisdom Day, Pure Happiness Seminars, 'Who am I' seminars, 'Third Eye' seminars. We have developed the idea of 'WisdomLand',
'Brain Power Clubs', 'Shy Power Club' and The Wisdom Express. We even have wisdom toys.

The world is at a loss of how to solve the economic mess. We have the answers. The human self runs on two wheels. One is intelligence and the other is emotional-intelligence/wisdom. For intelligence we have hundreds of subjects and for emotional-intelligence/wisdom we have zero subjects. As a result we educate only half our brains. Naturally the wheel of emotional intelligence is punctured. And every time we try to fix this education mess we go back to improving intelligence education. Leaving emotional intelligence as punctured as ever; resulting in developing imperfect minds and imperfect brains for over 80% of the population.

Michael Gazzaniga the foremost expert on the brain and mind concludes in his latest best seller, for a call to arms. "Understanding how to develop a vocabulary for these layered interactions (between the left
and right brain and between brain and mind), for me," he writes, "constitutes the scientific problem of the century." This is exactly the problem we recognized 40 years ago and we have now solved.

We have figured out the difference between brain and mind. The education mess is due to the fact man has cutting edge education to educate the mind and has no idea how to educate the brain. In simple terms one can say that we keep our homes clean; we keep our cars and
our offices spic and span and when it comes to our own brains and minds we keep them dirty; full of defective memories/knowledge. We have developed education for cleaning up the brain.

We have invented this whole new wisdom industry that will generate wisdom education, creation of text books, with exercises and lessons, training for teachers and parents, and 'pure happiness' counselors
etc., wisdom coaching for adults, groups and countries, toys that teach wisdom, wisdom computer games, comic books, children stories, sitcoms, TV talk shows, movies etc.; and Wisdom Theme Parks, Wisdom
Hall of Fame for every school, village, city, country and the world...We can create this wisdom industry in every country and use the income to lift the country out of poverty of resources of economics as well as the poverty of the mind.

We have over 1200 articles on wisdom education which you may please google, '4th r foundation' to review. We have the answers that the world has been looking for since the ancient times.

Please be free to use our ideas in your educational institutions.

kind regards

Horse Angel Heralds One Universal Religion!

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:54:50 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ 6 January 2012 Papineauville, Quebec Canada /All religions share a shockingly similar story of Judgment Day- and the Winged Horse. This Angelic Being was first painted 35,000 years ago in the French Chauvet Grotto - and when discovered in 1994, was immediately "locked down." The Angelic Horse is the centerpiece in Chauvet's two magical murals- effectively, the world's "First Revelation" and most profound art treasure. The cave's murals graphically depict a "Story of Creation" and "Animals parading off a vessel". Enjoy them below…..
www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chauvet/en/owpt14.htm
www.galilean-library.org/site/index.php/topic/813-yo-the-picasso-thread/page__st__75

The stunning Aurignacian art showcases this Universal Being which is common to all cultures, religions and Holy Books. A few names: Kalki (Hindu); Buraq (Islam); Cherub (Hebrew); Qirin (Oriental); Kirin (Shinto); Unicorn (Universal); Thunderhorse (Amerindian); Seahorse (Atlantis); Lung-Ta (Tibetian); Chollima (Siberian); Winged Horse (Christian); Pegasus (Greek); Wheel; Chariot; Throne; and Drum. It's profound symbolism has been identified, explained and tied to subsequent religion and philosophy by metaphysical and scripture scholars- Sir Knight Daryl Breese and French Canadian Gerald D′Aoust. This art is now a common origin at the dawn of modern man- pushing back religion some 15,000 years. Indeed, this Chauvet Angel graces the cover of "God's Steed- Key to World Peace" (Lulu 2011), a provocative, heavily research non-fiction which includes amazing graphics of this heavenly creature.
The French government allowed a select team of scientists into the cave, along with German film specialist Werner Herzog to document the find. Werner's subsequent 3D movie, "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" has had viewers reporting visions of this Angelic Creature- after simply watching the film. Scientists even called Chauvet's 'End Chamber' the "Holy of Holies."
UNESCO has taken over this site and a 'replica' cave is being built within a few miles.
A non-secular universal common denominator, the Angelic Horse has accompanied man throughout history. Revered as the Conductor of Souls between Heaven and Earth; Horse of Peace and God's Steed in Stories of Judgment Day- what a time for this fine creature to debut! Breese had an Angelic visit 3 January 1994- just months before Chauvet was discovered, coincidence? His eyewitness report to the Church led to Knighthood. Sir Knight believes sharing the new light of the Chauvet and Judgment Day Revelations will promote understanding and harmony- leading to a peace accord which he has proposed to the United Nations. Breese, "We know historically angels presage monumental events." Will this shared Truth be the Key to Peace in 2012? Forward looking Breese already commissioned a statue to commemorate the event!

Christmas Angel Rocks UNESCO Site in France!

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:31:26 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ December 20th, 2011 Chauvet Cave, France

A Christmas Angel has just been unveiled at the UNESCO Chauvet Cave in southern France. It's profound symbolism was explained by metaphysical scholars Gerald D'Aoust and Daryl Breese. The Pegasus has always been a symbol of the Holy Spirit, Peace and even Santa's original ride/ sleigh horse. Four angelic encounters led the team to this cave art, now the oldest religious relic which has pushed back the dawn of religion another 15,000 years.
The Pegasus is showcased in two murals. One graphic is the first Story of Creation and the other shows animals disembarking from a vessel which has landed on a mountain. Enjoy the graphics, linked below. Breese has posted all the exhaustive details of interpretation 'on line' for the world to enjoy!

www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chauvet/en/owpt24.htm
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chauvet/img/fond0421.jpg
D'Aoust and Breese just published the non-fiction "God's Steed- Key to World Peace" (Lulu 2011). The Chauvet Pegasus is featured on the book's cover. Like Tom Hanks in the fictional "Angels and Demons", they are the real life 'symbologists' who have discovered this ancient point from which all religion and philosophy have descended. "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Werner Herzog was just released in this year and lets us see this earliest cave art. Some report visions after seeing the movie.
Breese believes the common ground of this new discovery connects all the Holy Books and could spawn greater understanding, tolerance and harmony- possibly leading to a peace accord.

BIEBER PRODUCERS LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL TOY DRIVE

BIEBER PRODUCERS LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL TOY DRIVE

The Messengers Benefit Raises Money And Awareness On World AIDS Day

/EINPresswire.com/December 15, 2011 -- Los Angeles, CA - Today Grammy-nominated production team - The Messengers, released a summation from their first ever 'Musical Toy Drive & FUNdraiser!' which took place earlier this month. The benefit was held on December 1st, World AIDS Day, with an eBay charity online auction to win a "One Day Studio Session with The Messengers" as well as a silent auction at the event. Invited guests brought in dozens upon dozens of musical toys, which have been donated to Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF). In addition, all monies raised have been donated to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF).

"The Messengers", Nasri Atweh and Adam Messinger, are originally from Toronto, Canada and now based in Los Angeles, United States. Grammy-nominated as a team, Nasri and Adam have been partners for over 10 years. Nasri started out as a recording artist in Canada signed with Universal, and Adam was a Juno nominated producer (Junos in Canada are equivalent to Grammys in US), when they met. Their partnership is a great example of music bringing cultures together, with Nasri's heritage being Christian/Palestinian and Adam's family background being Jewish/Catholic.

The event premiered two acts which had been discovered on YouTube by The Messengers. The duo of Alexus Phomvongsa and Brian Shin, who were flown to LA after Adam and Nasri viewed cover performances of songs they had written and produced with Chris Brown (Next 2 You, ft. Justin Bieber) and Justin Bieber (Mistletoe), and a newly signed band from Scotland called TUCKER. TUCKER was recently signed by L.A. Reid (X Factor) to Epic Records label, and are currently being developed by The Messengers.

Also performing that night were The Messengers, with a fun homage to Mrs. Claus including an improv of holiday classics mashed up, and a toy piano solo.

Before the performances began, DJ Stella Neptune was playing her vinyl favourites mixing samba with funky vibes. Post performance featured DJ-Producer Frank E spinning on the tables... he had the guests dancing until the lights went on!

The Messengers raised monies for Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation with an eBay auction of a "One day Studio Session" to be held at the legendary Westlake Studios, Los Angeles. It was featured on the "What's Hot" home page of eBay, next to a meet-and-greet with Christina Aguilera. They also held a Silent Auction at the event that featured local Artists' jewelry by Sogoli, art by Melanie Greenwood and Olivia Barratier, Tapaholic classes, Hair design and Hair jewelry by Tanya Ramirez - Untamed Instincts, Hair Design by Sweet 9 Salon, as well as Stella Neptune's ecologically friendly recycled clothing and cashmendz patches, plus an autographed guitar donated by Guitar Centre. 100 % of all monies raised are being donated to EGPAF.

Door admission for the party was a *musical* toy. Guests brought musical toys that spilled out of the collection boxes on to tables and the floor. It was an incredible sight. The musical toys were delivered to and received the next day by CAAF - Children Affected by AIDS Foundation. The toys were for children of all ages from beginner level to advanced, including donations of real guitars and ukeleles.

Both "The Messengers" and the foundations of EGPAF and CAAF were happy with the turnout and are looking forward to next year's event.

About The Messengers
The Messengers is a Grammy nominated Canadian songwriting and production team currently based in Los Angeles, California. The duo consists of singer/lyricist Nasri (full name Nasri Atweh) and multi-instrumentalist/arranger Adam Messinger. They have created with/for artists such as Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Michael Bolton, JoJo, Jason Derulo, Cody Simpson, Iyaz, Big Time Rush, Kris Allen, Prince Royce, Vanessa Hudgens, Elliot Yamin, No Angels, and New Kids On The Block. Their work has resulted in two 2011 Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album - Justin Bieber (My World 2.0) and Best Contemporary R&B Album - Chris Brown (Graffiti). As well, their collaboration between Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts "That Should Be Me" won a 2011 CMT Music Award for Best Collaborative Video.

LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX WITH OPTICAL EXPRESS

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:31:02 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Hardly a week goes by without people being reminded of the benefits of an active lifestyle to stay healthy - and it's particularly important for the over 40s.

But staying healthy and keeping fit are only one part of the equation - if your eyesight is not what it used to be, you will not be able to feel the full benefit of your efforts. That's why one of the global leaders in eye care health, Optical Express, should be your first port of call.

Most people look forward to a long and active retirement, and research has shown that an ever growing number of older people are joining health clubs and leisure centres to take advantage of the many classes on offer.

But if your eyes aren't up to scratch, wearing glasses can be a problem for taking part in some activities where they are simply not practical to wear.

Which is unfortunate, because by the time people reach their 40s or 50s, many of them have difficulty focussing to read small print without glasses - an astonishing 25 million in the UK, in fact.

This condition, presbyopia, can be helped by wearing reading glasses or contact lenses, or, with today's advanced vision correction technology, it can be cured by means of laser surgery or Natural Lens Replacement.

Double Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson has benefited from laser eye surgery, as have legendary golfer Tiger Woods and many other sporting celebrities, who found treatment was the answer to their problems.

World and Commonwealth decathlete champion Thompson said: "I took my vision for granted, even though it was vital to my performance, so when I was considering laser eye surgery I did my research and was most impressed with the experience of the Optical Express surgeons."

Laser surgery and Natural Lens Replacement are simple, fast and painless processes which have literally changed the lives of millions of people worldwide since being introduced.

As the UK's No. 1 provider of laser eye surgery, Optical Express also sets the standard in the global market.

Moreover, Optical Express is the only UK-wide provider to offer Lentis(R)MPlus - an advanced technology premium lens for the treatment of long/short sightedness, presbyopia, astigmatism (corneal irregularity) and cataracts.

Natural Lens Replacement is carried out by one of Optical Express's highly qualified ophthalmic surgeons - all are fully registered with the General Medical Council - who replaces the impaired lens with a perfect one.
This process takes 20 minutes under local anaesthetic, which means the patient can walk out of the surgery and return to work a couple of days later.

Sight improvement can sometimes be noticed just a few hours after laser eye surgery, while in the case of Natural Lens Replacement the results depend on the individual and upon the overall health of your eye.

For many people, vision is noticeably enhanced immediately and continues to improve during the first few weeks after treatment.

Natural Lens Replacement is a painless, simple process which produces wonderful, life-enhancing results. In addition, all patients receive a fully comprehensive aftercare programme.

Optical Express provides free eye examinations in Scotland and free examinations with a purchase in the rest of the UK and Ireland, so there is no excuse not to come for a regular check. It may save your eyesight and identify the early signs of eye disease and serious conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

So don't let failing eyesight stop you doing what you want to as you get older - whatever your vision problem, Optical Express has the solution.

PUT YOURSELF IN THE FRAME WITH OPTICAL EXPRESS

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:15:15 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Some of the coolest people on the planet wear glasses, and these days glasses can be as much of a fashion statement as the clothes you wear. That's why one of the global leaders in the world's eye health care market, Optical Express, has frames to suit everyone.

Optical Express has an extensive range of designer glasses and sunglasses, featuring over 1,000 frames from popular brands, including Armani, Bvlgari, Chloe, Oakley, Police, Prada and Ray-Ban.

As if that isn't enough, they also offers designer glasses by Jimmy Choo, Lacoste and Maui Jim, giving patients an even bigger choice of frames.

Stylish glasses have become an important fashion accessory and there's been no shortage of celebrities over the years who have become renowned for their specs appeal.

Who could forget Elton John's outrageously gimmicky stage glasses, champion snooker player Dennis Taylor's outsize "windows", Bono from U2's trademark shades or John Lennon's round, no-lens specs. The list is endless.

A new survey done by the College of Optometrists has revealed that the Top Ten celebrity glasses wearers are: 1. Gok Wan; 2. Johnny Depp; 3. Alan Carr; 4. David Tennant; 5. Chris Evans; 6. Harry Hill; 7. Phillip Schofield; 8. Anne Robinson; 9. Jude Law and 10. Paul O'Grady.

Interestingly, Anne Robinson was the only woman in the list, but it's certainly not true that men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses!

Powerful women throughout the world have become synonymous with wearing glasses, such as Jackie Onassis, who was rarely seen without her large, dark shades, and today, of course, Victoria Beckham is regularly seen pouting below her sunglasses.

American politician Sarah Palin is often photographed sporting specs that match her outfits, and those glasses have become part of her overall look.

Stefano Gabbana, of legendary design duo Dolce and Gabbana, once famously commented: "Constantly we see people wearing glasses even when they don't need them. They add elegance."

Aside from being a fashion statement, glasses are the most common means of helping the visually impaired, and Optical Express can prescribe lenses to suit every condition - including single vision, bifocal or varifocal.

There are free eye examinations in Scotland and free examinations with a purchase in the rest of the UK and Ireland, so there is no excuse not to come for a regular check. It may save your eyesight and identify the early signs of eye disease and serious conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

The World Health Organisation states that around 153 million people worldwide are visually impaired in some way because of uncorrected vision errors (near and far sightedness or astigmatism - corneal irregularity) as a result of failing to notice, or ignoring, the changes in their eyes.

Laser surgery and Natural Lens Replacement are both simple, fast and painless processes that have literally changed the lives of millions of people worldwide since being introduced. As the UK's No. 1 provider of laser eye surgery, Optical Express has gained a reputation as a pioneer in the global market.

So make your mark and treat yourself to a fabulous pair of glasses from Optical Express, or opt for world-class eye corrective treatment - it will make your world a much brighter place.

SASH CEO Rebecca Bomann Announces Launch of SeniorTube

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:14:08 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Rebecca Bomann, Founder and CEO of The SASH Program, Recently Announced the Launch of The SASH Program SeniorTube, a YouTube Video Channel with Content Designed to Give Seniors and their Families Valuable Tips and Practical Advice for some of the Significant Decisions Surrounding Aging:

Rebecca Bomann, Founder and CEO of The SASH Program, recently announced the launch of The SASH Program SeniorTube, a YouTube video channel with content designed to give seniors and their families valuable tips and practical advice for some of the significant decisions surrounding aging.

As increasingly more seniors and their families turn to the Internet for resources, The SASH Program is building a free video library with topics that directly address the issues they are facing. On SeniorTube, SASH has partnered with other elder care professionals, to present this often complicated information in a conversational, easy-to-understand manner.

Ms. Bomann, who has a background in social work, founded The SASH Program in 2005 after helping her own Grandfather sell his home. Rebecca thought there should be a less stressful and easier way for seniors to sell their homes, and so she started SASH.

The SASH Program purchases seniors' homes in a private and custom-designed home sale, allowing them to bypass the stress, unknowns, and work of a conventional market sale.

Each senior client of SASH is treated with integrity, respect, and dignity as evidenced by the abundance of SASH Testimonials from former clients and their families, as well as an A+ Rating from the BBB. The SASH Program SeniorTube channel is yet another way for SASH to share their resources and experience with seniors and their family members who may be facing a difficult situation.

On noting the launch of The SASH Program SeniorTube, Rebecca Bomann said, "When I was my Grandfather's caregiver over a decade ago, I remember needing resources and advice regularly to know how to provide the best care for him. For this reason, I'm very pleased to extend this kind of free, user-friendly support to families who are now in that position of caregiver."

Frequently, families who are facing significant decisions and steep learning curves in caring for their aging loved ones, contact SASH. For years, SASH has been helping seniors and their families navigate through these steps, providing advice and resources. Now, the information available on The SASH Program SeniorTube channel can be accessed 24 hours a day, and viewers have the ability to forward the videos to others who may benefit from these tips and resources.

Ms. Bomann went on to say, "SASH's legacy is service first, and we created SeniorTube with the same idea in mind. Viewers will not find any sales pitches on SeniorTube, but simply valuable information, presented in a friendly and understandable manner. We're looking forward to adding many more SeniorTube videos in the future, and to continue serving seniors and their families through their transitions."

Elder Law attorney Tracie Wall was featured in The SASH Program SeniorTube videos 'What is an Elder Attorney?', and 'What is Power of Attorney?' Ms. Wall has been practicing law for over 10 years, with a focus on Estate and Elder Planning. Regarding the launch of The SASH Program SeniorTube channel, Ms. Wall said, "The SASH staff made it easy and fun to get out this vitally important information to seniors and their families. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience to other elder care professionals."

About SASH
Since this innovative service was launched in 2005, The SASH Program has become a leader in the local elder care community. SASH's standards in senior care have earned the company an A+ Rating with the BBB, and an outstanding customer satisfaction record. Seniors and their families interested in learning more about The SASH Programs' private, custom-designed senior home sale service can call 888-400-SASH, or visit www.sashprogram.com for more information.
