Gunslingers Film Starring Nicolas Cage with Filmmaker Brain Skiba 04/11/2025

Gunslingers Film Starring Nicolas Cage with Filmmaker Brain Skiba When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history ― and a bloodthirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king’s ransom ― soon follow. As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed. Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, and Heather Graham star in this action-packed Western-thriller about true justice in the Wild West. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT - The Western genre has always carried a timeless allure—tales of justice, revenge, and survival in the face of lawlessness. With Gunslingers, I wanted to create a film that not only honors the great Westerns that came before but also brings something fresh and bold to the table. This film is about outlaws, redemption, and the harsh reality of a world where the line between good and evil is razor-thin. Bringing Gunslingers to life has been a journey of passion and perseverance, a two-year odyssey filled with challenges and triumphs. At its core, this is a story about a wanted man who stumbles upon a hidden town—a sanctuary for criminals—only to realize that salvation comes at a cost. When a relentless posse arrives to collect on the town’s entire population, the stage is set for an explosive battle where survival is the only currency that matters. With an extraordinary cast led by Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, and Nicolas Cage, we’ve crafted a world that feels gritty, raw, and authentically Western. Their performances bring depth and intensity to the story, breathing life into characters who exist in a world where justice is often a matter of who draws first. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of Grindstone executive Barry Brooker and my producing partner/star, Laurie Love, whose dedication helped shape this film into what it is today. Gunslingers is more than just a Western—it’s a film about the choices we make when the odds are against us. It’s a tribute to the spirit of those who refuse to back down, who fight for their survival, no matter the cost. For fans of the genre, this is a must-watch, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience the world we’ve built.

Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison with Filmmaker Jeff Finn 01/15/2025

Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison with Filmmaker Jeff Finn Greetings from Thailand! Z-Machine’s exciting independent 3-part docuseries, “Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison. ” The first of its kind documystery series clocks in at a total of 3.5-hours (each episode is just over an hour in length) and will make its global TVOD/Digital release on January 13, 2025, following Morrison’s 81st birthday, available on all the major platforms of Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and YouTube TV. A dozen years in the making, Before the End’s cryptic tagline encapsulates its investigative approach: “One Man. Countless Myths. And in between lies the truth.” Z-Machine founder, Jeff Finn’s extraordinary detail work breaks the decades-long hermetic seal on the traumatic formative years that forged a brief hellacious life, through Morrison’s controversial career as lead singer of the legendary 1960s rock band, The Doors, to his reported 1971 death by “heart failure” in Paris at age 27. Morrison’s ostensible demise, technically an unsolved cold case, formed its own rabbit hole of reasonable doubt, which inspired Finn to consult with private investigators and forensic analysts. Before the End transcends “rock doc” in the same sense that Jim Morrison was more than a rock star. Featuring unprecedented content, from shocking corroboration about Morrison’s early life to harrowing revelations about his stardom, and fresh evidence that contradicts his professed death, Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison is proudly unauthorized because it “seeks the unvarnished truth.” The documystery reverse-engineers long-controlled narratives while it explores the notion of Morrison the nonconformist as neurodivergent, and deconstructs - through on-camera interviews with family, friends, lovers, classmates, and associates – key distinctions between Jim Morrison, “rock god,” and James Douglas Morrison, an introverted outsider.

In the intriguing world of KAOS, it’s the pantheon of gods versus humans with Zeus at the top of the mythological food chain as the cruel and stylish ruler of the gods, a position he has enjoyed for some time. Then one day he discovers the unthinkable: a wrinkle on his forehead. Paranoia builds, leading the supreme deity down a dangerous and unstable path. All-powerful Zeus is convinced his fall is nigh and sees omens of doom everywhere. Recently audiences saw Shila as Cinder Lumen Firetown’s resident matchmaker in Disney & Pixar ELEM ENTAL, utilizing her natural gift that allows her to smell true love in a Fire person’s smoke, whether they know it or not. She boasts numerous matches throughout her tenure—she’s proud of her track record—but this brusque, no-nonsense and traditional mom has yet to find a match for her daughter. Elsewhere audiences can see Shila Ommi on the Apple TV+ espionage thriller, “Tehran.” Shila Ommi is one of the returning co-stars of Apple TV+, espionage thriller, “Tehran,” now streaming season two now on Apple TV+. Ommi portrays the character of Nahid Kamali, the wife of Shaun Toub’s character Faraz Kamali (a skilled investigator with the Revolutionary Guards), and she also shared the screen with the iconic Glenn Close, and in season two. The heart-pounding “Tehran,” which has earned the comparison in the media already of “24” meets “The Americans,” is must-watch TV at its finest. Shila Ommi is an American/ actress, born in Tehran, and has lived in Los Angeles since the onslaught of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Her mother was a poet and her father was a philanthropist, real estate mogul, and the founder and CEO of Iran’s largest construction company, Vima Co. At an early age, Ommi witnessed the wrath of the Islamic regime. Ommi’s father was also on their hit list, but her family had the chance to flee the country, leaving behind their wealth and all their belongings to begin a new life in the United States. Today, Shila Ommi is a prominent actress in the Iranian communities in diaspora. For over a decade, she toured the globe as the lead actress and co-artistic director of Workshop 79, a theatre company spearheaded by acclaimed Iranian playwright/director/actor Houshang Touzie (“A Simple Wedding,” “Argo”). The founder of the LA-based theater group, Turquoise Heart Productions, Ommi uses theater art as a form of healing and activism, writes, directs, and acts in theatre pieces that share the Iranian experience with American audiences, and the exile experience with Iranians abroad. She is recently directed a play commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health. Ommi portrays the character Nahid, in the acclaimed espionage thriller, “Tehran,” with seasons 1 & 2 streaming now on Apple TV+ . She portrayed the character of Yasmin in the Apple TV+ anthology series “Little America” co-starring with Shaun Toub (who is also her screen husband in “Tehran”). Ommi is also a voice-over artist and performs regularly in animated films and web series. She is the voice of all the characters, male and female in a cartoon series called “NOPM: Special Forces” which was commissioned by the Boromand Foundation, a human rights organization focused on Iran’s human rights violations. She is narrating a video about deforestation, and a film about Iran… both coming out by the end of this year.

HAPPY CAMPERS chronicles the final days of a working-class summer colony in a scrappy trailer park that just happens to hold the secret to a rich life. In a waterfront campground off the coast of Virginia, residents spend their summers living spitting distance apart in rust-bitten RVs. They chuckle about the modest rent they pay for a million-dollar location, but what makes them the luckiest people in the world is more than just stunning sunsets, it’s the community they’ve created. Beneath cliched trailer park stereotypes lies an unlikely utopia where all are welcome. Neighbors help each other out, and share everything from power tools to simple pleasures. Loneliness and isolation are inconceivable. When their affordable paradise is sold to developers, the residents brace for eviction and the loss of friendships that span generations. They hold tight to their final days in the sun. The well-heeled crowd that takes their place will never be as wealthy.

NuCalm 34 Years Backed Neuroscience with the CEO Jim Poole 07/23/2024

NuCalm 34 Years Backed Neuroscience with the CEO Jim Poole Jim Poole says “The human race appears to be in a race to erase the human race.” And at a time when “many people seem to have lost control of their lives,” NuCalm is the perfect remedy, argues Poole, the visionary CEO behind the stress management technology. “We have a tireless passion for helping people reclaim control of their lives,’ says Poole. “And we can do it with the world’s most powerful neuroscience.

Lionsgate Presents BONEYARD a Film by Asif Akbar Starring Mel Gibson and 50 Cent 07/02/2024

Lionsgate Presents BONEYARD a Film by Asif Akbar Starring Mel Gibson and 50 Cent SYNOPSIS When the skeletal remains of eleven women and girls are discovered in the New Mexico desert, an extensive investigation is launched. Inspired by true crime stories, this chilling crime-thriller follows Detective Ortega (Brian Van Holt), Police Chief Carter (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), and Agent Petrovick (Mel Gibson) in a multi-agency effort to identify and apprehend the killer. As each of their agendas and methods clash, a tangled web of intrigue casts suspicion in all directions. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT "As the director of BONEYARD, I was drawn to telling this story to shed light on the ongoing tragedy of missing persons cases and the sinister evil that lurks within society targeting the vulnerable. Though inspired by true crime stories, our film takes creative and artistic license to construct our own version of a cinematic thriller story that keeps audiences guessing until the final twist. “Above all, our goal was to honor the memories of the innocent lives lost and raise awareness of this pressing issue. According to the FBI, there are over 600,000 active missing persons cases at any given time in the United States alone. These are not just statistics ‒ they represent real people with families and futures stolen from them. By humanizing the individual victims in our story, I hope viewers will be left thinking of the tragedy of each and every missing soul behind these alarming numbers. “It was also important to me to depict the tireless efforts of law enforcement who work day and night thanklessly to solve these cases and bring perpetrators to justice ‒ though justice will never fully undo such unspeakable crimes. They deserve our utmost gratitude and support. I’m grateful to the real police officers behind the scenes, who consulted on our production to get accurate procedure and respectful representation. “On a creative level, I was thrilled to assemble such a powerhouse cast led by the one and only Mel Gibson. His nuanced portrayal of our dogged yet flawed lead detective anchors the complex mystery unfolding around him. I’m grateful for the trust the entire ensemble placed in my vision to spin this harrowing true-crime yarn into an entertaining yet meaningful thriller. “In the end, it is my hope that BONEYARD succeeds not just as an edge-of-your-seat film, but as a true call to action against the quiet evils that fester within our society. By shining a light on real tragedies like the West Mesa case, perhaps we can honor the lost by preventing future injustice and bring closure to open cases still in need of the final piece to solve the gruesome puzzle."
