New Comedy Special, ‘Nina G: Stutterer Interrupted,’ released on Amazon Prime

OAKLAND, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- San Francisco Bay Area comedian Nina G, known for her unique brand of humor as a woman who stutters, proudly announces the release of her comedy documentary special, "Nina G: Stutterer Interrupted." Available now on Amazon Prime, this special arrives just in time for International Stuttering Awareness Day on October 22.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Gina Chin-Davis, who also stutters, "Stutterer Interrupted" offers an intimate and humorous exploration of Nina G's life and career. Nina's material not only includes her experiences stuttering. She also jokes about her Italian-American background, growing up Catholic, body image and silliness she encounters.

The film captures a behind-the-scenes look at Nina's filmed-for-broadcast stand-up set at the Alameda Comedy Club in her hometown of Alameda, California. The documentary intersperses Nina's comedy with interviews and archival footage, delving into her personal journey-her early love for comedy, the challenges she faced due to her stutter, and how, with the support of a high school teacher and the stuttering community, she embraced her identity and pursued a successful career in stand-up.

This special is more than just a comedy routine; it's a heartfelt story that addresses the genetic origins of stuttering and the stigma that people with disabilities often face. Nina G's collaboration with Chin-Davis ensures a fresh and often unseen perspective, blending powerful insights with equal parts wit and humor.

In conjunction with the special, Nina G has also released a comedy album of the same name under Punchline Records, marking the label's first comedy album. Both are a companion to her 2019 memoir, "Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn't Happen". She is currently performing across the country in various clubs, theaters, and events, with scheduled appearances in California including Ventura, Grass Valley, the Oakland Comedy Festival.

QUOTES & TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE FILM

"Lifting up the voices of women who stutter is extremely important, especially because it is rare to see us represented in popular culture." - Maya Chupkov, founder of Proud Stutter, an advocacy nonprofit and podcast.

"This film shows Nina G. as a powerful change-maker. As a talented storyteller and stand up comedian, Nina G is transforming society's view of disabled people one stage at a time." - Beth A. Haller, Ph.D., author of Disabled People Transforming Media Culture for a More Inclusive World.

"Doing standup is hard. Doing standup when you stutter, takes a truckload of confidence, self-acceptance, poise, and a burning desire to make others laugh. Nina G has embraced her disability and plowed ahead, fearlessly pursuing her childhood dream of becoming a standup comic, as well as educating her audience that comedy delivered with a stutter, can also be funny, unique and provide an interesting life perspective. Nina never fails to amaze me. As a disability activist, published author with her doctorate, and ebullient personality, she is definitely a force to reckoned with. This girl is on fire!" - Bernadette Luckett, writer/producer.

"The first time I saw Nina perform was at an open mic in a hallway leading to restrooms. She didn't just do her time. She got laughs... with a stutter. Years ago comics mocked stutterers. Nina never backed down, often mocking the mockers. I was impressed once again by her knowledge of standup history. She's funny, smart and strong. I'm a fan." - Ritch Shydner, comedian and author of "Kicking Through the Ashes: My Life as a Stand-up in the 1980s Comedy Boom."

The War Between Russia and The West Over Ukraine Comes in A New War Drama Now on Amazon Prime

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- GI-Films announces: What is really going on in Eastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine is the subject of a new movie "The Narrow Bridge" just released on Amazon Prime. Written and produced by Mirza Davitaia, and produced by GI-Films, "The Narrow Bridge" is about a young artist who must take up arms to defend Ukraine.

Tensions between the West and Russia are at their highest since the peak of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The Russian troop build-up near the Ukrainian border as part of Vladimir Putin's desire to regain control of Ukraine are spurring fears that Moscow could launch an invasion.

"This is the story of a young talented artist named Kiril, who's destiny persistently puts a weapon in his hand instead of a brush, demanding that he abandon his art and take up arms," explains Davitaia. "There is a war in his homeland, invaders are brutally interfering in the peaceful life of his country."

The movie was shot on location near Kyiv by Ukrainian director Boris Kvashnev. Stars Roman Matsyuta, Zaza Chanturya, Svetlana Zelenkovskaya and Borys Heorhievskiy.

Davitaia is known for his previous war drama "5 Days of War," directed by Renny Harlin and starring Val Kilmer, Andy Garcia and Rupert Friend.

Amazon Prime Removes Indie Film About Global Persecution of Christians

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- For nearly two years, the indie documentary, "Christians in the Mirror," produced by Joshuacord, Inc. and In Altum Productions, streamed on Amazon Prime before it was removed without warning or explanation. Its producers want to know why.

"Christians in the Mirror" examines the plight of persecuted Christians throughout the world and includes interviews with religious leaders and persecuted Christian families in Syria, India, Iraq, South Sudan, and Egypt. The goal of the film is to educate Americans about the widespread persecution of Christians in other parts of the globe and to motivate Christians blessed with religious freedom in the West to provide aid to those suffering for their faith.

On March 9, 2021, the producers of the documentary independently discovered that the film was no longer available on Amazon's streaming service. Only after reaching out to Amazon for clarifying information did the producers learn that Amazon had unilaterally removed the documentary, but Amazon gave no reason for the removal. The producers followed-up for an explanation, requesting analytics and specific details to outline the reasons for the film's removal, but the information Amazon provided was vague and lacked validity.

Amazon's unexplainable decision invoked feelings of confusion and frustration for Patrick Carberry, the film's co-executive producer and Joshuacord founder. And, apparently, he's not alone.

According to a new Consumer Reports' survey, roughly three out of four Americans worry about the power wielded by today's biggest tech platforms. Top concerns include biased search results, unfair pricing and misinformation.

"My primary concern has to do with potential bias," Carberry says. "I just don't understand why the film was fine for nearly two years, and then it wasn't. What changed? Why? I have many unanswered questions. Something just doesn't feel right."

Carberry adds that the main mission of the film is to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and to question why there's silence and a lack of support from many affluent churches around America. It's the hope of the film's executive team to activate Christians across America to stand united to help those persecuted for their faith and to prompt people to take action to support religious freedom.

The film averaged about 15,000 to 20,000 streams per quarter and Carberry said that sounded pretty good to him. He adds that it's not his desire to shine any bad will on the tech giant. He simply wants to have the film re-listed so it can continue to inform and educate those who are willing to listen and wanting to help.

"Amazon is a mega power when it comes to helping the little guy get the word out and I feel as if we've been slapped in the face for no reason. There was no real discussion about why or what could be changed," Carberry says. "They are Goliath and we are not even David. Behemoth big tech businesses such as Amazon Prime Video should be making it easier for independent producers to get the message out, not more difficult. We're imploring them to reconsider making our video available again and welcome a discussion. That is all we are really asking for."

Aaron Ozee Launches Regulus Movie Using Amazon Prime During Pandemic

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aaron Ozee, celebrity author of the bestselling children's book, "Regulus" (ISBN: 978-1387010790), has officially launched the Regulus movie on Amazon Prime entertaining families on COVID-19 "lockdown."

With news of the "Regulus" movie premiering before the scheduled release date, and the inclusion of the movie on Amazon Prime, an unprecedented grouping of legendary actors, musicians, comics, political leaders, authors, film makers, athletes, and motivational speakers have expressed support.

Some names such as Tony Hawk, Akon, Drake Bell, Sean Astin, Paula Deen, and the former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, have captivated the public as being among those who love "Regulus."

The event scheduled to celebrate the release of the "Regulus" movie in the suburbs of Chicago has been cancelled due to growing concerns around the COVID-19 outbreak. The event was set to be held at the Hollywood Palms Cinema in the Village of Naperville for July 25, 2020 but had to be shut down as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) introduced more restrictions.

"Every person has dreams. We find ourselves searching for the purpose that life has given us, but that purpose needs time before it can be understood," said Ozee during this announcement. "Attending the premiere for a new movie has been among my favorite aspirations, but going one step further, the premiere for a movie created from my own hands. Just when you think life is giving you everything you ever wanted. Go back and think again. We never saw this pandemic coming, and even though celebrating the release of the 'Regulus' movie would have been an unforgettable experience, the movie was produced and is available on Amazon Prime. That is a celebration enough."

Bizarros Studio, the production group responsible for acquiring the "Regulus" movie rights, issued the first summary report to Ozee showing the rentals and purchases made on the official website, and despite certain information being locked, Bizarros Studio confirmed sales have been soaring beneath the shadow of this unexpected health disaster. Based on the stop-motion animated films that have been released during 2020, according to predictions that Bizarros Studio has made, the "Regulus" movie is on the path to becoming one of the most popular stop-motion films of the year.

For those who cannot stream the "Regulus" movie on Amazon Prime, you can rent or purchase the film on Amazon without a Prime Membership. And, for those who do not have a profile through Amazon, just visit the official website for the Regulus movie at https://www.regulusmovie.com.
