Screening of "Krissy Belle"
I.S. founder Rachel Galvin, director Alyn Darnay and screenwriter/ lead actress Carole Wood
"Krissy Belle" premiered at FLIFF at Cinema Paradiso on Nov. 4 to a great audience response.
Comical and delightful, this film, directed by Alyn Darnay, follows a naive southern belle as she navigates her way through the culture shock that Miami offers her.
Leading actress and screenwriter Carole Wood becomes her character, naive and ditzy with a spark of spunk, she gets herself into the darnedest situations and runs into some equally comical characters. One such character is the rude next door neighbor, a hot Latina with fire of her own who doesn't take kindly to Krissy Belle's simpleton ways. This part is played by Vivi Pineda, who certainly makes a splash whenever she graces the screen with her presence.But every character has something to offer, even Krissy Belle's adorable dog Remington, who has a few bits of well-placed commentary of his own.
The clash between cultures brings plenty of humor and, for those who speak Spanish, those parts en espanol are very funny. Right now, the film is sans subtitles, although, due to popular demand, that may change. If not, it is worth brushing up on your Spanish to catch the full meaning of the subtleties. Although, even without knowing the language, it is easy to pick up on what is happening. Poor, Krissy Belle doesn't know Spanish either, so you are in good company.

Local YouTube sensation is back for more
“The Prancercise Lady” has a brand new video and DVD
By Rachel Galvin
She's back! Local sensation Joanna Rohrback a.k.a. “The Prancercise ® Lady” has already wowed the world with her unique approach to fitness. Now she is back with a new YouTube video http://youtu.be/cIXIZ_8aGM8, “Official Prancercise ®Fitness with Passion.” In this video, which also features horses, she works with a partner to demonstrate the additional depths and possibilities that her Prancercise ® program is worthy of.
In addition, she is offering a Director's Cut DVD in which she also offers her fitness tips, to stretch what her program can do to whole new heights. In addition, she offers a sneak peek behind the scenes of the production of her uber-popular YouTube videos. The work put into the videos and the passion behind the program are evident, as well as the sense of fun. Joanna has even included bloopers.
The liberating movement is certainly a break from the ordinary fitness scene. This Director's Cut DVD will be offered via her website www.prancercise.com. You can watch the DVD streaming or it can be shipped as a disc.

The July issue of Independent Streak Magazine is RELEASED.
The magazine features a story on indie guru Lloyd Kaufman; a Sci-Fi spotlight on "Radio Free Albemuth," starring Alanis Morisette, Shea Whigham and Jonathan Scarfe; a profile on Christian Filmers, a look back at May-Hem and more! See CLICKABLE WEBSITE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH hits 10 markets on June 27.... or you can rent it right here! This sci-film IS everything Philip K. Dick would dream it to be. PKD, as he is coined, wrote books on which many classic films were based, films such as "Minority Report" "Blade Runner" and so many more. This film stars Shea Wigham, Jonathan Scarfe and Alanis Morissette.
Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
From Philip K. Dick – author of Blade Runner, Minority Report and A Scanner Darkly – his most prophetic science fiction thriller. In an alternate reality 1985, Nick Brady (Jonathan Scarfe), a record store clerk in Berkeley begins to experience strange visions transmitted from an extra-terrestrial source he calls VALIS. He moves to Los Angeles with his wife, Rachel (Katheryn Winnick), where he becomes a successful music executive with a secret mission to overthrow the oppressive, totalitarian American regime helmed by President Fremont (Scott Wilson). But what is VALIS? A higher consciousness from another reality, an alien life-form or perhaps, even God? With the help of his best friend, a science-fiction writer – Philip K. Dick himself (Shea Whigham) – and a beautiful, mysterious woman named Silvia (Alanis Morissette)- Nick finds himself drawn into a conspiracy of cosmic, mind-shattering proportions. Although it might cost them their freedom or even their lives, they join forces to bring a message of hope from the stars and reveal the dangerous truth.
