While considering his imminent death, an old man senses the existence of a force that holds his soul to his body—a force even Einstein never imagined—and he’s drawn into the struggle between good and evil.
From postwar London in 1946 to LBJ’s ranch in 1964, and then to a small Catholic church in northern Minnesota, real history begins to blur with conjecture and myth. Otto’s Portal rests between the abyss of man’s fears and the apex of his science, while a disparate cast of characters seeks redemption.

While covering the demonstrations in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sparked by the police shooting of a black man named Jacob Blake, McGinniss witnessed Kyle Rittenhouse shoot Joseph Rosenbaum and nearly got shot himself when a bullet ricocheted near his foot. McGinniss was plunged into the national spotlight and was praised for his clear, non-biased reporting of the violence.

On her first day of elementary school, Audrey sat in the cafeteria, unwrapped her liverwurst sandwich, and excitedly told her new classmates about her public television proclivities. Her Brady Bunch-watching peers had never heard of PBS, but they had heard of PB&J (and they weren't too keen on liverwurst either). They made it abundantly clear: Audrey's childhood was, in fact, not normal at all.We will never know whether it was schoolyard bullying or watching tragic Shoah documentaries that was responsible for Audrey's acute sensitivity to others; but that empathy may have helped pave the way for her choice of medicine as a career. Audrey chose to specialize in Pediatric Gastroenterology - for who needed more help than children; and where could anyone feel more suffering than in one's gut? Day after day, she watched intricate family dynamics play out in the context of fragile health. Audrey listened to each patient's story until she could retell it with clarity and give it meaning. Through witnessing and recording these tender dramas, the seeds of writing had been planted.

In 2019, she created “7-1-6 Music Gives Back” (Buffalo’s area code) - designed to partner with nonprofits to raise money through benefit concerts. That same year, Sugarman and her team raised over $2,000 for the Holocaust Resource Center of Buffalo.

As a young student with a penchant for opera and musical theater, Sugarman went on to study vocal performance at Carnegie Mellon.

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. This certainly proves to be true for filmmakers Summer Moore (creator, writer, lead actress) and Starr Session (producer). When Covid caused the world to lock down, these creative gals got busy building a new web series that chronicles and finds humor in the often painful experience of virtual dating in a new age. This series is produced, written, directed and edited by women!

“I felt that it was really important to write a series that incorporated women in as many character roles as possible, which was a challenge since it was about dating men. So you'll see them popping up throughout it. I also specifically put the language in there to focus on women, changing common sayings to make them feminine. We also wanted to give women editors a voice in comedy, because this is often overlooked. I'm very proud of all the hard work that has gone into this series and how it turned out!”- Summer Moore

”We wanted to create a series that really captures the female dating experience and having an all-female creative team really does it in the truest sense while adding lots of humor. We are proud of what we have accomplished with this series.”- Starr Session

Shot completely on iPhones by each cast member while at home on pandemic shutdown, the 9-episode PANDEMIC PILLOW TALK follows the daily dating routine of Mackenzie (Moore), a single woman hoping to find her true love. Unfortunately she finds out that there are way more frogs than handsome princes in the world of cyber dating. In each 5-7 minute episode, we eaves drop into what proves to be a very chaotic, pathetic, desperate and always hysterical experience for the hopeful romantic.

Making matters more complicated for Mackenzie are her wacky, over the top and always inappropriate parents, Buck and Bertha played wonderfully by Eric Roberts and his real life wife, Eliza Roberts. The overbearing couple often show up at the most inopportune times, injecting themselves in on the date while successfully embarrassing their daughter in front of a parade of would-be suitors.

"The Poop Diaries" features stories from plumbers about their "greatest hit" service calls, and the oddest, most interesting people they have met. Ms. Ross interviewed plumbers who have found snakes, sex toys, weapons, ghosts, mice, drugs, squirrels and so much more. They have also met plenty of interesting, unforgettable people, such as a guy who refused to get out of theshower while the plumber fixed the shower drain, or a woman who refused to get out of bed as the plumber changed the air conditioner unit directly above her. One female plumber even broke up a marriage after what she had found in a client's home. A 91-year-old woman asked a plumber if he wanted to see her "little titties."

While the book is funny, it also brings humanity to a profession not many of us think about — plumbing. Plumbers see us in our most vulnerable moments yet we know next to nothing about them. Plumbing is also a profession that is often misunderstood. It's lucrative, creative and entrepreneurial. Plumbers are unsung heroes, and the book includes heartfelt stories about how they have helped those in need.

Her first professional acting job was with Woody Allen in "Coop Italia," a string of TV commercials for the Italian market. This fueled her passion to train theatrically in New York City with acting masters such as Uta Hagen, Bill Hickey, Bobby Lewis and Elaine Stritch at the Stella Adler Conservatory. She also completed a two-year Meisner and movement program before moving out to the west coast to study with acting greats such as Larry Moss and Gordon Hunt.

Judi performed in Off-Broadway original theater productions and starred in numerous SAG independent feature films. On television, she recurred on "Law and Order," "Jag," "The Shield" and "Once and Again." Furthermore, Judi has starred, both on camera and off camera in dozens of TV and radio commercials.

Judi is also well known for her voice-over and motion capture work in Sony's highly acclaimed video game,"Heavy Rain," where she performed the popular lead character Madison Paige, as well as on the popular children's anime TV series, "Digimon." In 2013, she was recognized by the magazine, The Complex, as one of the "25 Best Voice Over Performances of All Time."

Judi also produced and starred in the Romantic Comedy, "Only in Paris" in which she received Best Actress, Best Romantic Comedy, and Best Short Film at both the New York and Los Angeles Independent Film Festivals in 2011. In addition, in 2013 she was nominated Best Supporting Actress at the Saint Tropez International Film Festival for her role in the feature film, "The Warrior and The Savior." Judi's talents were also showcased when she starred in a short film at the Cannes Film Festival- "Perfect Pitch," which won Best Film, amid tough competition.

In theaters Judi can be seen in Dany Boon's top grossing film, "La Ch'tite Famille" (Dany Boon, François Berléand, Line Renaud, Valérie Bonneton, Laurence Arné, and Guy Lecluyse) produced by Pathé. Upcoming roles include, 'La Garçonne" mini-series for France Television,

Some of her other lead film roles roles include a psychopathic mother in "A Cry from Within," a French neighbor in "Larchmont," a detective with a proclivity for bondage opposite of Pruitt Taylor Vince in "Cameraman," and a trophy wife stranded in the desert in "Four Weeks, Four Hours."

On the other side of the camera, Judi put her creativity and quirkiness on the line during The Cannes Film Festival where she directed and produced "The Can Cannes," which played during the festival and "The Gourmet Dinner," which screened at the No Dance Film Festival at Sundance. Utilizing her talents as a singer/songwriter in her film "Only in Paris," Judi composed and performed all the music.

The debut Blak Emoji EP, "INTRO" (2017) was the first of several successive releases with two albums, a sophomore EP and now a third album due in October. Warren has received a variety of accolades from notable publications including Rolling Stone, Afro-Punk, Line Best Of Fit, BUST, Popmuzik, Vampire Freaks and Ghost Cult Magazine. Blak Emoji songs "Velvet Ropes & Dive Bars" and "Poison To Medicine" made their way to ABC's Quantico while "Sapiosexual" appeared in several indie films.

Warren was immersed in soul/R&B and pop music growing up in South Jersey. But after learning piano concertos, jazz guitar standards, drums and other instruments, Warren threw in a monkey wrench of hip-hop, punk and minimalist classical which took his sonic journey to new destinations. He supplemented his ever-expanding musical taste with a dense love of electronic music and synth inspiration from Kraftwerk to Prince to NIN.

In 2019, Warren miraculously managed to assemble a brief European solo tour, a solo NYC residency, and he decided to produce and direct a debut political/musical documentary covering the presidential election. Quarantine didn't prove to slow down Warren who has spent the duration of the pandemic producing numerous artists, directing music videos and dropping an avant-electronic instrumental Blak Emoji album, "Antidote". In anticipation of his forthcoming album, Warren has released two singles which have received noted acclaim from Wonderland and Fame Magazine. The album is due October 1st of 2021.

This year’s celebration takes him on a unique path when he befriends a homeless woman known throughout the community as Neighborhood Nana. The entire experience is documented on his cell phone, but is he the documentor or the documented? Join the festivities and witness SANKOFA!

Mathis makes his debut as a Playwright with "Preachin/ to the Choir/An Inconvenient Truth". “This is my first public submission as a Playwright. The Ancestors spoke to me and would not let me rest until it was on paper. I had no choice, but to pick up the sword and write, moving me once again to activism, I pray it will do the same for others!”

This year’s celebration takes him on a unique path when he befriends a homeless woman known throughout the community as Neighborhood Nana. The entire experience is documented on his cell phone, but is he the documentor or the documented? Join the festivities and witness SANKOFA!

Mathis makes his debut as a Playwright with "Preachin/ to the Choir/An Inconvenient Truth". “This is my first public submission as a Playwright. The Ancestors spoke to me and would not let me rest until it was on paper. I had no choice, but to pick up the sword and write, moving me once again to activism, I pray it will do the same for others!”

Gordon grew up and attended Beverly Hills High School and graduated magna cum laude from USC before winning acclaim as a short filmmaker and continuing her lifelong passion for stage performance. It’s no surprise she turned to the performing arts, as her great-uncle Dr. Ernst Katz was founder and conductor of the legendary Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic, and her grandfather was television comedy writer Al Gordon, whose award-winning career spanned everything from “The Jack Benny Program” to “Three’s Company.” When you grow up with Army Archerd as a family friend and getting performance advice from the likes of Florence Henderson, like Gordon has, you develop a deep appreciation for the professional side of the business – and you also have a lot of great stories to share.

Victoria Gordon is a vibrant bridge between the rapidly-fading show business past and the new era of digital native creators, finding a way to connect that legacy and tradition to the new technologies and platforms and a new generation of audiences.

Gordon grew up and attended Beverly Hills High School and graduated magna cum laude from USC before winning acclaim as a short filmmaker and continuing her lifelong passion for stage performance.

In addition to her extensive list of accolades as a singer/actress, Van’s involvement in the entertainment industry spans to the business side, where she worked for Jonathan Dolgen, then President of the Fox Studios, as well as Renny Harlin, who directed “Nightmare on Elm Street”.

In the fall of 1998, Van graced JET magazine as the September centerfold. Though, she feels her biggest accomplishments were when she became a member of the highly talented music spinoff, “The Platters.' Van also was a member of '“The Friends of Distinction”, “The Sounds of the Supremes” and “The Fifth Dimension”.

While performing with the Supremes, Van appeared on numerous television shows in Australia and received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Germany. In 2003, Van appeared on the Jerry Lewis Telethon in New York while performing with “The Fifth Dimension'' and also performed on the “Dick Clark’s Rockin New Year’s Eve” special with Donna Summer.

In 2004, Van took on a new role when she became CEO and co-founder of Smooch Inc., a premium clothing line Van created along with her husband and CFO, Larry Kantor.

Van returned to her music roots in 2008 when she and Kantor formed Smooch Music, Inc.
Van and Larry worked for years with Shawn Rivera of La Face Records’ “Az Yet”, on recording Maya Angelou’s last project before her passing titled “Caged Bird Songs”, an album of her spoken word performances over hip-hop beats, and R&B and gospel tracks. The album was produced by RoccStar (Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Lopez) and Rivera. Van has co-writing credits on most of the album. The single from that album, “Harlem Hopscotch”, yielded a music video directed and produced by Emmy Award winning Napoleon and Tabitha Dumo of NappyTabs, who have handled choreography choirs for “So You Think You Can Dance”, “Dancing With The Stars” and many music videos. The “Harlem Hopscotch” Video was produced with the help and production support of OWN Digital. This incredible album of music will bring the heritage and legacy of Dr. Angelou to younger people for years to come.

Shawn Rivera is a Father of 3, lover of life. Founding member of Multi-Platinum, Grammy-Nominated, Billboard #1 R&B Group, Az Yet. Producer/Arranger, 1/5 of Viva Mas
