PRINDIE Presents its 6th Annual Film Festival – VIRTUALLY!

PRINCETON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- In light of the unprecedented events of 2020, PRINDIE: Princeton Independent Film Festival will hold its first all-virtual film festival, open this year to all film-lovers in United States. Running from Thursday, Sept. 10 through Sunday, the 13th, the festival features 37 short films. This year's film lineup focuses on issues surrounding immigration, mental health, youth, and cultural diversity / Black Lives Matter.

Visit http://www.prindiefest.com/ now to pre-order tickets for the films.

Films will conclude with question and answer sessions with the directors hosted by PRINDIE board member, novelist, and Princeton University professor Aleksandar Hemon (co-writer of the upcoming Matrix 4) and others on the PRINDIE team. 70% of the included films have granted PRINDIE a New Jersey premiere, East Coast premiere, or US premiere. The festival will also include films from the Princeton Environmental Film Festival that were not able to be screened during the regular event due to COVID-19 and a section of films by Princeton University students.

Ticket sales will follow a pay-what-you-can model starting at $2.99 per film and 50% of profits will be shared with the filmmakers directly.

We are fortunate to have the support of Princeton University's Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding and would like to especially thank our major sponsors, Simpatico (title sponsor), Slated (official sponsor), and SAGindie / NRG (patron sponsors), for their support; we are also thrilled to announce a partnership with ShortsTV, "the global home of short movies with the world's largest catalog of high-quality short movies available on TV, online & in theaters," and host the theatrical-release of Oscar-nominated short films.

Continuing the special relationship PRINDIE has formed with powerhouse A24 over the past few years, there will also be a special screening of BOYS STATE, an Apple Original Films and A24 Release. The fil profiles a group of Texas teens as they travel to Washington D.C. to create a mock government and engage in politics. Princeton Lecturer Lauren Wright will conduct a Q&A with the subjects of the film following the screening. Additionally, there will be a special out-of-competition screening of NIMIC, a short live-action film starring Matt Dillon from Best Picture Academy Award nominee, director Yorgos Lanthimos.

"We're so proud to be aligned with PRINDIE," said Jill T. Whiskeyman, CEO, Simpatico Studios, PRINDIE's Title Sponsor. "The success of the festival speaks for itself, but we were really drawn to the mission and vision put forth by its leadership."

ReverseVision Partners with Mortgage Bankers Association to Articulate the Business Case for HECM Lending in September 10 Webinar

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- ReverseVision, the leading Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) and private reverse lending platform, today announced it will co-host a webinar with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) to dispense HECM myths and educate mortgage lenders on the business case for incorporating HECMS into their lending portfolio.

The webinar, "Understanding Reverse Mortgages: Impact on Your Lending Business and Consumers," will take place Thursday, September 10, 2020, from 2 - 3 p.m. ET.

The session will be led by co-panelists Wendy Peel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ReverseVision, and Carissa Orozco, Director of Business Development, Strategic Partners at ReverseVision. During the session, Peel and Orozco will discuss regulatory changes that have improved the HECM program for borrowers and lenders, how borrowers and lenders benefit from a generational lending strategy and how HECM loans improve lenders' profit margins.

"In our current market, many homeowners aged 62 and older would benefit from a HECM, whether to shield themselves from sequence risk or tap into their home equity wealth. The problem is that most lenders do not offer HECMs because their knowledge of the program is outdated or they do not understand its business value," said Peel. "We have partnered with the MBA to disperse lingering stigma around HECMs and show lenders how the lending program is rewarding to both borrowers and their business."

The webinar is free for MBA members to attend and $299 for nonmembers. Those interested may register at: https://www.mba.org/store/events/education/meeting/webinar/understanding-reverse-mortgages-impact-on-your-lending-business-and-consumers.

C Diff Foundation Hosts 4th Annual Global C. diff. Awareness 2K Virtual Walks

TEANECK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- C Diff Foundation announced today that registration is open for the 4th Annual Global C. diff. Awareness 2K Virtual Walks. This year's annual events will take place online and will be recorded at the Morris A. Votee Park, Teaneck, NJ, Charlestown Township Park, Phoenixville, PA, Sims Park, New Port Richey, FL on Saturday, September 12, 2020 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. ET. There will also be a superhero virtual show for super kids. Dr. Martha Clokie, Ph.D. will be leading the walk which will be recorded in Leicester, UK on Friday, September 11, 2020.

Registration is $20 per walker and complimentary for children 10 years of age and under. Learn more: https://cdifffoundation.org/cdiffwalk2020/

All registered awareness walkers will receive a t-shirt, giveaways, and educational material. Proceeds from the events will benefit the C Diff Foundation's mission educating and advocating for C. difficile infection prevention, treatments, clinical trials, and environmental safety worldwide. During these unprecedented times, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the C Diff Foundation effectively adapts to overcome the many obstacles developing from this global virus.

C. diff. infections are one of the leading healthcare-associated infections facing local communities worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a Clostridioides difficile infection (C. diff., C. difficile), (formally known as Clostridium difficile) "has become the most common microbial cause of healthcare-associated infections in U.S. hospitals and costs up to $4.8 billion each year in excess health care costs for acute care facilities alone."

Statistics provided by the CDC suggest that C. difficile cause nearly 500,000 infections in patients in the U.S. annually. In one study noted by the CDC, among infected patients, nearly 29,000 died within 30 days of being diagnosed, and more than half of those deaths (15,000) were directly attributable to a C. difficile infection.

"Every day the C Diff Foundation members work to educate and advocate for C. difficile infection prevention, treatments, clinical trials, and environmental safety while providing support worldwide," says Nancy Caralla, Founding President, and Executive Director of the C Diff Foundation. "Our dedication to the cause is making a difference as we share a common goal with government agencies and health care organizations witnessing a decrease in newly diagnosed C.diff. infections and saving lives. Our dedicated volunteering members, around the globe, are focused on improving the lives of individuals and families who are impacted by C. diff. infections."

We sincerely thank Vedanta Biosciences, Inc. for being the Diamond Sponsor of the 4th Annual Global C. diff. Awareness 2K Virtual Walks. Vedanta Biosciences, Inc. is dedicated to finding treatments for patients with serious infections and immune diseases. Vedanta develops medicines made of consortia of bacterial strains which are selected to effect robust and durable changes in a patient's gut microbiota.

In contrast to fecal transplants or administration of fecal fractions, Vedanta's medicines are pure, uniform compositions of bacteria manufactured from clonal cell banks, bypassing the need to rely on direct sourcing of fecal donor material of inconsistent composition. Vedanta is currently enrolling patients with recurrent C. difficile infections (CDI) in its CONSORTIUM study to evaluate VE303, an investigational treatment for CDI.

Labouré Announces its First-ever Virtual Gala, an Evening of Joy, Hope, and Inspiration in Celebration of New Catholic Vocations!

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 24, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- These are challenging times for the Catholic Church, says Labouré, but amidst declining vocation numbers, aging clergy and religious, and reduced church attendance due to COVID-19 restrictions, there are reasons for hope:

* Devoted pastors have found creative ways to minister to the faithful during the coronavirus pandemic.

* Heroic religious sisters and brothers continue to work with the poor and elderly - going to great lengths to provide desperately needed services while protecting the health and safety of vulnerable populations.

* Online video sharing has given Catholics and non-Catholics alike an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of priests and religious - revealing the humanity, the commitment, and the joyful outlook so often found among those who have dedicated their lives to Christ.

* And, thanks to Labouré benefactors, hundreds of aspiring priests and religious, once blocked from answering God's call due to student loan debt, have entered formation!

On August 12, 2020, at 7 p.m. (CST), Labouré will celebrate these and other positive developments within the Catholic Church in its first-ever Virtual Gala!

Through broadcast and streaming technologies, this biannual Twin Cities-based gathering has been transformed into a nationwide event with unlimited potential viewership!

Special guests include:

The Most Reverend Joseph Edward Strickland, Bishop of Tyler, TX; Senator Rick Santorum; The Most Reverend Andrew H. Cozzens, Auxiliary Bishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, MN; and many more!

Labouré Virtual Gala Premiere Date:

Men and women who wish to pursue a vocation to the priesthood or religious life are often prevented from entering seminaries, convents and monasteries if they have student loan debt.
