NYC Dancers Step Together in Short Musical Film to Encourage Our Youth to Speak Out!

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- 3 cords & a hook studios announces "Youthful Faces," bringing together some of NYC's best dancers, including: Matt Wiercinski (Broadway: "Anastasia" - Ensemble/Prince Siegfried) and Kathryn Zimmer (Broadway: "Matilda The Musical"), to encourage and become a catalyst for our younger generation to speak up and speak out to illuminate the future they want to see.

The dance, musical short film, shot in the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y. is a collaboration between award-winning choreographer Lane Napper, who is known for his choreography work on the Nickelodeon shows "iCarly" and "Victorious," the socially charged music of Jour Majesty and visionary filmmaker Michael C. Perry, known from his award-winning short musical films, "The Carnival Kid," and "Empty Box of Wine."

The film follows thirteen dancers, each defining their unique style of dance to illuminate their concerns about the future. The performance is to the words and music of Jour Majesty's single, "Youthful Faces."

"The lyrics completely spotlight the anxieties of our youth," says Choreographer Lane Napper. "Glowing shiny faces swiping for affirmation, Page by page in a sea of distraction and the people took no action, and the earth became fractured."

Each performer came up with their own interpretation of the song and lyrics to capture their feeling about our current societal condition.

"I am extremely grateful to participate in 'Youthful Faces' to help inspire today's youth to have hope for the future and to courageously take action to drive positive change," says sixteen-year-old Kathryn Zimmer (Broadway: "Matilda"). "Now is the time to speak up and speak out to illuminate the future we want to see. Youthful Faces, raise your voices - right here, right now."

"Youthful Faces" will premiere at the Cutting Room International Short Film Festival in New York City on October 19, 2019, at 6:30 p.m. The musical short is nominated for "Best Music Video" and "Best Director of a Music Video" by the festival. Following the premiere, Youthful Faces will be available to view by everyone at https://youthfulfacesmovie.com/.

We want to encourage our young people to take hold of their futures and be part of the conversation; whether raising their voices at the ballot box, volunteering, mentoring other young people, or maybe just being kind to other human beings. The actions and decisions of today will follow them for the rest of their lives. They should have a stake in the question; let's give them a voice.

‘Love Jones the Musical’ Playwright Timothy Allen Smith takes on ‘Choice,’ with new stage drama

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Twenty/20 Productions announces Timothy Allen Smith, the wordsmith behind 2016's record breaking, "Love Jones The Musical," is premiering a new stage play at The Beverly Hills Playhouse in September 2019.

Smith, who followed up Love Jones with "Neighborhood Barbershop," starring Academy Award winner Mo'Nique, is back at it with "Choice." After dealing with such topics as black love on Love Jones and black family on Barbershop, Smith is not shying away from more controversial subject matter this time around.

"It's important as story tellers that we don't run from relevant topics, particularly when you're talking about people of color," says Smith. "Gospel plays and comedies focusing on family are great, but those aren't the only stories we can tell. We have to reach beyond subject matter considered safe for African American writers because, when it comes to issues that affect all of us, our unique cultural experience offers a unique insight that needs to be heard."

Smith says he wants to change the narrative. "The mere fact that something I wrote almost twenty years ago is more relevant today than it was then speaks to exactly where we are as a nation. We have to reframe the conversation so that it's less about changing anyone's mind and more about gaining understanding."

One thing that won't change with "Choice" is Smith's commitment to creating strong female leads. The show features one of his most compelling characters to-date. "When writing Choice, I honestly didn't set out to make any kind of political statement," says Smith. "We had been auditioning for another show and one of the performers blew us away in her audition. I was so inspired by her performance that I went home that night determined to create a character I felt would challenge her. That is where the character Michelle was born. I even named her after the young lady who auditioned that day."

Smith and team had a similar experience auditioning Ani Marderosian for the role of Kim in Choice. "When Ani walked in the room, I didn't want to let her leave. I kept asking the poor girl to stay and read again and again because, quite honestly, she embodied everything I was looking for and she made it look effortless. Talent like that is rare."

The role of Anna is being played by stage and TV veteran Joey Jupiter-Levin who, Smith says, is special. "Every great story needs a great antagonist, and every great antagonist has great charisma. That's Joey. She's just one of those rare performers you can't take your eyes off, even when you want to hate her."

The rest of the cast includes Thomas Channing Nash (Brian), Rodney Fitts (Gregory), Keelia Flinn (Julie), Jessie Reeder (Heather) and Mackenzie Possage as Michelle.

Smith is willing to tackle a controversial subject even though he knows it comes with some risk. "Anytime you deal with a divisive issue, you have to be willing to piss somebody off," admits Smith. "But at the end of the day we have to decide who we are. This nation was literally founded on the concept of self-determination and, the reality is, that's not always going to be pretty. People with free will and the right to decide for themselves are not always going to make choices you agree with. To me, the question is, do we still believe in a society where every citizen has the right to choose their own path?"

Author, activist, producer, and playwright Timothy Allen Smith is a native of Philadelphia. Currently based in Los Angeles, his latest project, "Choice" is set to open at The Beverly Hills Playhouse on September 7 and run through September 29.

Tickets for Choice are available for $25 at http://ChoiceTickets.EventBrite.com.

5rand5’s New Crowdfunding Shopping Cart Helps People Help Each Other Anonymously

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- 5rand5 LLC has launched its people-based shopping cart crowdfunding platform, (5rand5.com). Donors can send as little as a $5 tax deductible donation through the shopping cart, or send donations directly. Donors have an option to do a random donation to five different individuals or families in need, and they can choose who will receive their contribution. Both donor and receiver will still remain anonymous.

The majority of users that are seeking funds are the homeless, families with children and disabled veterans. The organization also helps a small amount of people in the arts industry and even those just seeking gas money. Donors are able to use the support by category feature to find and add the people to their shopping cart that they want to give their contributions. There is no minimum or maximum number of people or causes to support, and 5rand5.com handles all the distribution of funds to the recipient without disclosing any of the donor's personal information.

There is a vetting process for each donation seeker on the 5rand5.com platform, and those in the homeless category have to submit documentation from local shelters. The primary focus for the platform is to help homeless families with children, however other askers are allowed to seek support from the platform. College students, animal rights organizations and unemployed people are also accepted, but with limited space. Each recipent is required to send in proof of their current situation before being able to accept donations.

"We are just starting out with small community donations until people learn more about us," says founder Lisa L. Johnverrell. "Our goal is to one day raise larger amounts for homeless shelters and individuals across the United States, but for now we can help a few individuals and families at a time."

Donations made directly to 5rand5.com to be distributed are tax-deductable, but direct donations are also allowed. The site encourages the donors to use the shopping cart for maximum secure transactions, but also wanted to keep the direct payment option for those that want to help others immediately.

"Donations can be received for 90 up to 180 days once listed," says Johnverrell. "Our platform is not for raising a large amount of funding at once, and that separates us from other charity based crowdfunding sites."

5rand5 is currently accepting applications for people needing assistance and is always accepting donations to help its funding seekers. To learn more visit https://5rand5.com

800Casting Introduces a Quick and Easy Fix to All Casting Problems – Cast Assist

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- 800Casting (https://800casting.com) Company is always vigilant about finding ways to serve and has secured its place in the entertainment industry as the number one innovator of casting software which continues to expand and develop exciting new services for filmmakers, casting directors, and talent representatives.

Our team of trained casting assistants works closely with your production staff to eliminate unqualified submissions, request self-taped remote auditions from those who are qualified and present the qualified talent for your review. You can choose how many auditions you would like to receive, and every rejected audition is stored in a dismissed folder for immediate recall".

The casting process can be frustrating and monotonous. Which can force you to make the rookie producing mistake of rushing through the casting process.

When you settle with a cast you are not satisfied with, it could lead to some major problems on the set later when it's too late and too expensive to recast.

Producers, directors, network and studio executives, agents, photographers, production companies, advertising agencies, modelling agencies, etc. will benefit a lot from this new service Cast Assist(TM) which breathes life into projects by making life easy and helps to choose the perfect cast for a film, TV show, play, or other production.

Cast Assist(TM) is the only casting service that offers a free service which streamlines the casting submission process to save you time, energy and money with a fully integrated talent casting solutions thereby eliminating an unqualified candidate.

800Casting urges all casting directors, producers, talent agencies and all industry professionals to take advantage of this never before service Cast Assist(TM) free of charge.

With Every Home Sale, Local Real Estate Agent Helps His Clients and Fellow-Veterans Start New Chapters

BOISE, Idaho /ScoopCloud/ -- Robert Farias loves real estate, It's his passion. He enjoys seeing his clients start new chapters in their lives, whether they are buying or selling a home. And while every transaction has the client's satisfaction at the center, he also takes pleasure in donating $500 from the sale to a local veteran organization. Farias is the founder of 22-0 Real Estate at Keller Williams Realty Boise.

Farias is also a former U.S. Army Sergeant. He served his country for eight years and earned a combat action badge and an Army commendation medal. That service included a year in Ramadi, Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he provided convoy security for support units and escorted them around the Iraq countryside. When he was honorably discharged from the military in 2009, he left with the invisible scars that so many veterans do.

He credits his wife and seven-year-old daughter and counselors at the Veterans Administration for getting him through the worst of times but ever-present in his thoughts were those fellow veterans and active duty service members who didn't have the support he did. And he decided to take action.

22-0 Real Estate was founded and named to represent and call attention to the estimated 22 veteran and active duty service member suicides that happen each day in this country. That translates to one every 65 minutes - a 22 percent higher rate than the general civilian population.

"Suicide is preventable. Unfortunately, about 75 percent of veterans and active duty service members do not get the medical or mental health care to help them cope with the effects of their experiences and the struggles of returning to civilian life," said Farias. "This year, my goal is to raise $25,000 through buying and selling 50 clients' homes. That money will go to area non-profits that advocate for veterans at risk of suicide and homeless veterans."

Farias has presented one check so far with one more check presentation already scheduled. His business is also a title sponsor of the Golf 'Fore' Vets Tournament, hosted by Wishes 4 Warriors, on March 30th and is participating at the upcoming Ride for 22 Military Veteran Suicide Awareness Rally on April 27, 2019.

"Every time a client buys or sell a home, I get a lot of joy from seeing how positively it affects them. I'm especially fortunate to know that I'm lending a helping hand to those who deserve it most," added Farias. "I have a happy marriage and beautiful daughter, a new baby on the way in August, and a career I love. I would never have thought that possible in the darkest years after I left the military. I am committed to helping other veterans know there is hope and help them get help."

571 Grill and Draft House Continues to Impress Patrons both Near and Far

DAYTON, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- The 571 Grill & Draft House in New Carlisle, Ohio has been in business for 18 years and the independently owned restaurant continues to carve out its name in the world of gastro pubs and draft houses. While some restaurant owners may sit on their laurels after what seemed to be an instant success with residents living north of Dayton, the owners of 571 Grill understand that you must either go big or go home.

"We have never taken our reputation for granted," Tim Juday, co-owner of the 571 Grill & Draft House, says. "Our kitchen staff is always working on new innovative creations, while our front-of-house employees are constantly training to provide higher levels of customer service."

And, all those efforts continue pay off. Year after year, this Midwest establishment manages to top "best of" lists in multiple categories.

For instance, just last year, it made the, "The 6 Best Places to Grab a Burger in the Midwest" and just in October, the 571 Grill & Draft House found its way as a featured establishment in the Gordon Food Service publication Next Course in its article "More than another Roadside Attraction" while in 2016 the restaurant's most favored menu items were recognized by Dayton.com in "4 Delicious Burgers that are Worth the Drive."

One thing that sets the 571 Grill & Draft House apart from other Midwest burger joints is its deep respect for craft beers.

"Personally, I would have a hard time arguing against a craft beer when eating one of our featured burgers," says Juday "our locally sourced menu items have so much flavor packed into them, that any less bold of a beverage doesn't do them justice."

The establishment offers 17 rotating craft beers along with two craft sodas on tap. Beer lovers can also make a craft selection from an array of beers in chilled bottles and cans. Restaurant patrons are encouraged to ask questions about the beers on tap, as the servers are well informed to help pair the perfect beer with your food selection.

"We couldn't be more pleased that our brand continues to get such positive recognition - year after year. And who knows what's in store for us next?' Let's see what happens," Juday says.

This effort will preserve Placentia's aesthetics, while enhancing coverage throughout the city. The comprehensive program encompasses intelligent infrastructure technologies, Smart City initiatives and 5G wireless planning.

"After careful consideration, I am happy to support a contract with 5 Bars because it provides several important benefits to our City. This agreement will allow us to maximize the revenue generated from City resources, improve connectivity, protect Placentia's local control and preserve the character of our community," said Chad Wanke, City of Placentia's Mayor Pro Tem.

As wireless carriers densify existing networks, it is estimated that the industry will deploy hundreds of thousands of small cells, making it increasingly difficult for cities to manage the applications process. In collaboration with the carriers, 5 Bars will streamline applications with a predictable process while preserving aesthetics. The State of California is looking to pass preemptive legislation SB649 intended to reduce control over ROW.

"We are thrilled to be working alongside the City of Placentia's leadership as they look to advance their wireless footprint in the growing environment for 5G and Smart City infrastructure," said Monnie McGaffigan, President, 5 Bars Communities.

5 Bars will act as an advocate for the City, offering its intelligent platform which provides an ongoing solution that identifies opportunities for wireless collocation, while minimizing impacts from wireless facility siting decisions. The decision for Fresno to partner with 5 Bars was based on maintaining control, preventing visual blight and increasing connectivity for businesses, residents and citizens. The solution will be the basis to deploy Smart City, enhance business investment, and improve city services.

New Ballad of Love Brings ‘Hope’ for Mother’s Day

FORT WORTH, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- 4818 Records, LLC today announced that as we prepare to honor women everywhere on Mother's Day 2017 Sunday, May 14, a beautiful new ballad titled "Never Let Me Go" has been released as a single and video to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Greater Fort Worth.

"Never Let Me Go" is the first single from "Hope," the compilation album promoting the 2017 "Race for the Cure" fundraiser for the Fort Worth chapter on April 22.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist and Grammy Award-winning producer Gary McGrath wrote and recorded "Never Let Me Go" for "Hope," which he compiled and has just released on his independent 4818 Records label.

The album features songs by Danny Wright, Elizabeth Wills, The Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir, and The Texas State Men & Boys Choir, of which McGrath serves as executive director and producer. In addition to "Never Let Me Go," McGrath contributed "Sunsets In Santa Monica" as well.

McGrath, who accompanies his heartfelt vocals with acoustic guitars on "Never Let Me Go," gets tastefully understated accompaniment by bassist Eric Delegard, percussionist Luis Conte, accordion player Phil Parlapiano, and background vocalist Deborah Buffington.

All the musicians are present or past members of The McGrath Project, the contemporary classic rock band McGrath leads that earned a gold record for their 2010 album "Love Is a Four Letter Word."

McGrath also produced a companion video for "Never Let Me Go," which amassed more than 4,500 views just in its first three days.

Directed, shot, and edited by Dustin Meyer for Motion Fire Media and Dustin Meyer Photography, the video intercuts footage of McGrath singing and playing acoustic guitar with footage of model Gabriella Bryan.

"The chorus is me singing about the love of my life and about the little things she does that make me, or would make anybody, just swoon," McGrath said. "Simple things, like how she welcomes the day or the way she sips her morning coffee. When you're in love, you love everything your significant other is and does."

As to the reception of "Never Let Me Go," McGrath admits he was caught by surprise at the early response.

"I am so glad that it has been so well-received and so many people are sharing it," he said. "It's a message everyone and their mother can love this Mother's Day."

City of Sacramento Deploys its First Small Cell Site, Working with 5 BARS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Working with 5 BARS(R), a leading innovator in Small Cell, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and Wi-Fi wireless services for intelligent infrastructure, the City of Sacramento has approved its first small cell test sites with two major wireless carriers.

Sacramento has been inundated with permit applications for small cell wireless facilities in the right of way. In a race to densify existing networks, wireless providers often submit multiple applications, in some cases over 40 applications simultaneously. As Sacramento struggled to work with carriers on better designs and locations for each submission, the City reached out to 5 Bars to act as a liaison between the carriers and the city's planning department.

After an extensive RFP process, the City of Sacramento selected 5 Bars to develop a Wireless Master Plan on behalf of the City of Sacramento. 5 Bars is successfully working with all 4 major carriers to minimize visual blight and accelerate cellular coverage for the citizens of Sacramento.

"This initial small cell site is the direct result from a collaborative effort between 5 Bars, the City of Sacramento and the carriers. We worked in collaboration on an approval process and an aesthetically pleasing solution that works for everyone," said Darin Arcolino, IT Director with the City of Sacramento.

As the California Legislature works to pass SB 649, a Bill that would preempt local authority on small cell siting by eliminating local zoning and aesthetic requirements, the City of Sacramento and 5 Bars proactively worked with the carriers to incentivize the deployment of wireless facility designs, where antennas and radios compliment existing structures.

"We have been working diligently with the City of Sacramento and the carriers to ensure the citizens receive the benefits of great coverage, and the carriers get what they need. Orchestrating a solution that all parties can agree to in a timely manner is a win-win for all," said Monnie McGaffigan, President 5 Bars.

As a result, the City of Sacramento has issued and built its first test site. Additionally, hundreds of applications are in process for smalls cells throughout the city. 5 Bars continues to work with the City of Sacramento towards its connected city goals.

About 5 Bars:

5 Bars is an Irvine, California, privately held premier provider of Wireless Master Plans for Counties, Cities and Large Scale Venues developing comprehensive wireless strategies through a unique holistic view of all assets, coverage and capacity. 5 Bars offers fully managed wireless solutions, network development, ownership and end-to-end management delivering commercial indoor and outdoor distributed antenna systems (DAS), carrier-grade Wi-Fi networks, and small cell systems on behalf of properties and service providers.

2 Refunds, Inc. Announces Launch of Website That Rewards Customers for Filing Taxes Online by Deadline

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, March 21, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 2 Refunds, Inc. has launched a website with a rare promise: File one tax return and get two refunds. Aptly named, 2 Refunds gives the startup a preemptive position in online done-for-you tax preparation - a niche that exists in the overlapping services of H&R Block and TurboTax yet has no focused presence from either industry leader.

Void of bells and whistles, the site clearly explains the process and reveals that the refunds do not come from the Internal Revenue Service. They come from preparation fees and they are not complete reimbursements, but 50 percent.

"Obviously, we cannot give back everything and stay in business," said company founder and CEO, Javier Silva. "But, with less than 30 days left of tax season and a limited budget, we're cutting into future profit margins to get people's attention."

The mobile-friendly site offers the usual benefits and features found elsewhere. However, there are two innovations that set it apart: fixed prices and done-for-you service.

Fixed price packages are based on details of each return. Personal is $74.99, Premium is $214.97, and Premium Plus is $309.95.

The pioneering feature is the online done-for-you service. A tax professional prepares the return from information provided securely online by the customer who completes an interview and uploads files from a computer or snaps pictures using a smartphone. Communication is managed and tracked using support tickets.

Signing up is free and required for a secure online experience via encrypted connection which includes the use of reputable third party vendors such as Dropbox and E-sign Live. Payments are handled with PayPal for those not wanting prep fees taken from their IRS income tax refund. IRS Resolution Service is included to handle any issues that may arise after filing.

Clicking "Get Paid to Share" opens up the referral program that does not require purchase and pays for every referral that results in a sale with no limits on referrals.

"Until now, there were basically two options for tax preparation: physically going to a location to have them done for you or doing them yourself online or with software. With that in mind, 2refunds.com is not a website that showcases software technology. But rather, it is designed to connect humans who want online service with human professionals who provide service online," said Silva, who designed the site himself. "It's not complicated. I just want everyone to win."

About 2 Refunds, Inc.:

2 Refunds, Inc. is founded by Javier Silva, CEO. He has 14 years of experience in full charge bookkeeping, payroll and income tax. Although he possesses expertise in preparing corporate, partnership and non-profit returns, the company is focused on making personal tax preparation service available to individuals across the United States via the internet.
