EVENT: Ilene Kristen At The Triad

If you have never seen Manhattanites star Ilene Kristen perform live, you are missing a wonderful show. She is one of the most entertaining people I've ever seen.

She will be performing at The Triad on Saturday, November 1, at 9pm. There is a $20 cover and 2 drink minimum (see below for additional details).

The Triad is the perfect venue to see Kristen and I can guarantee you the music will be amazing, and you'll be laughing non-stop at her commentary between songs. If you're in the New York City area, don't miss it.

Manhattanites Trailer

Here is the official trailer for the upcoming Loger, Inc film, Manhattanites, starring ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Ilene Kristen, Forbes March and David Fumero, as well as ALL MY CHILDREN's Aiden Turner and Jill Larson. The film was directed by Gregori J. Martin and co-directed by Darnell Williams.

Holbrook & Browne On S&S Today

Daytime Emmy winner Anna Holbrook, and her ANOTHER WORLD co-star, Kale Browne, appear on today's episode of SCRIPTS & SCRUPLES. They plan Sam's parents, Maggie and Alan Zegas.

Sam brings Stacey to dinner at his parent's house in Montclair, New Jersey. They are surprised at Stacey's age, and it's obvious they are dealing with their own issues.

Both of these fabulous actors should be front and center on a soap right now. There are so many talented actors with real depth that are off our television screens at the moment. I hope by bringing them back to the forefront on my radio soap, someone in charge will take notice.

PREVIEW: Coming up on Wednesday's show, Tristan Rogers from GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT appears as crooked attorney, Garfield Merriweather.

INTERVIEW: Manhattanites Star Ilene Kristen

Kristen, who plays Marilyn in the upcoming Manhattanites, was a guest on "Stardish Radio" earlier this week and had a lot to say about the upcoming election, her roles on the soaps and more.

Manhattanites Update

We have received a number of inquiries about when the Loger, Inc film, Manhattanites, will be released so we wanted to provide an update here. For those who don't know, Roger Newcomb and Lyle Kamenir, who formed Loger, Inc a few years back, were the Executive Producers of the film. Newcomb wrote the script with long-time friend, Gregori J. Martin, who directed and starred in the movie. The film stars several familiar faces to soap fans including Ilene Kristen, Forbes March, Aiden Turner, David Fumero and Jill Larson.

We held a very successful two night industry screening in late May with the cast (see photo), crew, potential distributors and a few select guests from press.

Over the past few weeks we have been working on final edits and sound design. We are shaving a few minutes off the film and perfecting the sound but it will not be radically different than the version we screened, just a cleaner version. That process should be completed by the end of June at which time we will begin a big push with distribution companies.

The next steps could play out in a number of ways. The film could get picked up right away and you'll see it on DVD in the not too distant future. We may also visit some select film festivals to stir up interest. Either way, the process has been a fun ride so far and we're sure it will continue to be.
