Entertainment Attorney Kevin James

The Next Mayor of Los Angeles?

As a top entertainment attorney, he certainly knows the entertainment industry. He spoke at two events where I was present. In both, I was lucky enough to be able to introduce him. The second event was a seminar and networking event we put together for our clients and other actors. Kevin impressed us. Research him and you'll be very impressed. In addition to exposing wrongdoings and cleaning up Los Angeles, he is VERY entertainment industry friendly and he promises to bring run-away production back to Los Angeles. If you haven't already firmly decided who you're going to vote for for mayor (or if you had decided to skip voting this Tuesday), please research this man - KevinJamesForMayor.com - and PLEASE VOTE TUESDAY! You will see major positive change with Mr. James in the mayor's office. And, it's always good to have the mayor of L.A. as a friend. :-)

Congratulations are in order

Yes, that's friend and client Joycelyne Lew in the photo. She is one of about fifteen of our clients who were cleared for the red carpet at a top Academy Awards gifting suite event. So, congratulations to all of our clients who walked that star-studded red carpet.

Also congratulations to Raven Davis and Khaliq Glover who were cleared for the First Annual Borgnine Movie Star Gala in Tribute to Academy Award-winning actor Ernest Borgnine’s Film Legacy and to Honor actor Sean Penn. Nancee Borgnine, founder of The Borgnine Group, and daughter of screen legend Ernest Borgnine, honored Sean Penn with the first Annual Ernie Award celebrating his acting achievements and humanitarian efforts. Guests included Eileen Brennan, Parick Brennan, Maxwell Caulfield, Jennifer Coolidge, Tim Conway, Barry Corbin, Chris Cousins, Leslie David Baker, Bruce Davidson, David DeLuise, Tony Denison, Christine Devine, Kevin Dobson, Natalie Dreyfuss, Hector Elizondo, Melissa Gilbert, Steven Glickman, Gage Golightly, Robert Gossett, Estelle Harris, Florence Henderson, Bo Hopkins, Ken Howard, Marilu Henner, Ernie Hudson, Lainie Kazan, Tom Kenny, Carlos Knight, Stephen Kramer Glickman, Diane Ladd, Piper Laurie, Kate Linder, Barbara Luna, Lee Majors, Larry Manetti, Christopher Massey, Jack McGeer, Kelly McGillis, Juliette Mills, Esai Morales, Mark Moses, director PES, Tony Plana, Haley Pubos, Ming Na, Doris Roberts, Charles Shaugnessy, Frank Stallone, Josh Sussman, Pendleton Ward, Anson Williams and others. Very, very cool. Raven and Khaliq were also cleared for the Academy Awards gifting suite red carpet for the same day, so, of course, chose the Ernest Borgnine Event. By the way, for those of you who were not cleared for the Borgnine event, don't feel bad - I wasn't cleared either . . . and I'm the publicist! :-( --- :-)

Congratulations are also in order for Abraham Ntonya. I personally introduced him to producer Kimberly Browning. She talked about him, introduced him to dozens of her fellow producers and even handed him the microphone to address the crowd at the February Hollywood Shorts Film Festival.

And, that's just the beginning!

My Hero, Larry Hagman

On November 23, 2012, one of my heroes passed away - the man who brought J.R. Ewing to life - Mr. Larry Hagman.

I was lucky enough to be able to tell him, on the red carpet, and on camera, that he was my hero and how much influence he had on my life.

Video is here.

RockRipSwede

Left to Right: Swede Hanson, Rock Riddle, and Rip Hawk

RockRiddleRipHawkFanClubConvention

Rock Riddle on left, Rip Hawk on right, plus fans . . .

When asked "who was the most influential person in your life," the answer has always been easy - "Rip Hawk!"... When I was 14 years old, I started a fan club for him. When I weighed a whopping 130 pounds, he asked me if I wanted to be a wrestler. As I stumbled to find an answer, he asked "Do you think you can do it?" Again I searched for a response as he continued with the words that changed my life: "I think you can do it." That statement came from one of the greatest and most successful professional wrestlers in the world. I will always be grateful for his words, his support and his friendship. He passed away last night. What a sad day, now with both of my heroes gone. related video here.
( http://youtu.be/3jK2L17gzuk )

So . . .

Tomorrow at the Patrick Kilpatrick event, we celebrate LIFE! and SUCCESS!

Please join us tomorrow if you possibly can. If you observe closely tomorrow, you'll notice that I appreciate you and the opportunity at least a little more than before. :-)

Rip Hawk had an amazing sense of humor. Right now he must be thinking, "I guess those Aztec guys were right!" So the world ended yesterday for my friend, mentor and hero Rip Hawk. For the rest of us, life goes on. I hope you'll help me celebrate being alive tomorrow. And, please invite your actor friends. Arrive with a smile; It's going to be a wonderful event.

Copy From Thursday . . . Please Read It Again!

Following is a reprint of Thursday's newsletter. PLEASE take time to READ IT AGAIN. We still have that amazing Ultimate Holiday Gift offer available. The best offer, by far, that we have ever made in our 30+ year history. Please remember, Opportunities Are Never Missed; They Are Simply Passed On To The Next Person. Hint: Don't be the "next person." :-) Take advantage if you possibly can - it really is an incredible "Once in a Lifetime Opportunity" offer.

By the way - If there's anyone reading this who really wants to take advantage of the offer but spent every dime he or she had on holiday gifts for others, there's still a solution. PayPal has a "Bill Me Later" option. So, if you pay with PayPal and choose that option, PayPal pays us right away, but you can make zero-interest payments to them for up to six months. And, if you decide to take more than six months to pay, the interest rate is reasonable. And you will save thousands of dollars! That's our way of celebrating life and celebrating the holidays . . . and saying, "Thank you. We appreciate you. Happy Holidays!"

I also expect to have photos from at least one of the professional photographers who covered the event. As you can see from the photos here, it was a fun event.

RockTheRedCarpet

Red Carpet Premiere

Next Thursday, December 6, at 3:30 PM there is a RED CARPET FILM PREMIERE at the Arclight Cinema (The "Cinerama Dome") in Hollywood. The film is entitled "Edge of Salvation" and stars Charlene Tilton (of "Dallas" fame).

CharleneTilton

A huge 4'11" star: Charlene Tilton

ARE YOU AVAILABLE?

I believe we will be able to get several of our clients on this red carpet. If you are available and would like to potentially walk this carpet, please email me Rock@HollywoodSuccess.com RIGHT AWAY with "12/6/12 RED CARPET YES" OR '12/6/12 RED CARPET NO" in the subject line. THE most prestigious red carpets take place at two theatres - The Chinese and Arclight. I want to make the submission by no later than midnight. So, please let me know right away. Thank you!

Note from Rock: Way back in the 1980's I watched every episode of "Dallas." I loved the late Larry Hagman's "J.R. Ewing" character . . . and I really enjoyed watching Charlene Tilton. It will be great to finally meet her in person. :-)

We never know who will be joining us at these seminar events. Please join us for the next one - SUNDAY at NOON!

The Hollywood Success Online Videos

I received a message yesterday from a producer I had not yet met in person. She told me that she had seen all of the videos on our site - and she was very impressed.

I took a look at our page of videos - and I watched each video again. There are some really good and informative videos there. If you haven't seen them - or if you haven't seen them recently - TAKE A LOOK. We plan to add several more to that page and to our YouTube channel in December (we have literally hundreds of hours of video that we haven't edited or uploaded . . . including some amazing footage!)

***

Misc

§  A meeting with the producer-directors is expected to take place late this week regarding the proposed upcoming documentary. They seem quite serious. We'll let you know the results of the upcoming talks.

§  Our first radio show will take place in December. We expect the metamorphosis to an online TV show to take place early next year.

§  If you missed Saturday night's West Coast premiere of "The Short-e Show" (our client's newest project), you can view it here.

§  Several exciting changes/upgrades to our operations will go into effect in the new year. We'll keep you updated.

§  You can vote - and/or vote again (see below)

WWE Superstar Added to Today's Seminar! 9/16/12

Kharma Confirmed for Noon Today!

In WWE, she is known as "Kharma." In TNA, she is known as "Awesome Kong." To her friends, she is known as "Kia."

Kia has confirmed that she will be attending our seminar event today at noon. She will be discussing several projects including her upcoming TV series, "The Kia Stevens Project."

I met with Kia for well over an hour in my office yesterday and we discussed her upcoming projects. The conversation continued at Sharky's Restaurant in Hollywood. Suffice it to say that I have a fairly good overview of her upcoming projects - and how APS actors can potentially benefit.

Kia is in town meeting with TV network executives and other impressive industry VIPs. I knew that she was well-connected in both the wrestling and entertainment industries; I just didn't realize how really well connected she was. She will only be in town for another week. If you want to meet her, this may be your only opportunity!

Please Join Us at Noon Today!

Please join us. We start at 12:00 noon and we have four speakers. Information is here.

You can also RSVP here. Be sure to use the promotional code "VIP."

12:00 Noon Today - The Jeremiah Comey Studios

Saturday, 9/15/12 - "For Members Only" News

Producers Discuss Their Upcoming Feature Films

Good Afternoon!

First of all, here's a reminder about tomorrow's seminar and networking event at noon in Studio City:

For Information and/or to RSVP, PLEASE CLICK HERE

Additional information is also available HERE

It will be a very good event, and we sincerely hope you can join us!

***

Awesome!

I just received a phone call from one of my WWE Superstar wrestler friends. If you follow wrestling, you may know her as "Awesome Kong," "Amazing Kong" or "Kharma." Those of us who know her as a friend simply call her "Kia" (Kia Stephens).

Kia called to let me know that she is in Los Angeles and wanted to "talk some business" with me and asked when I would be available.

"I'm in my office all day today - if that works for you," I suggested.

"Have you eaten lunch?" she asked. I told her that I had not.

"I already have a meeting at 3:00 today. Suppose I come to your office around 4:30 this afternoon and take you to a late lunch/early dinner?" she suggested.

"What? Me buy this little guy dinner?!?"

Dinner?

So . . . it appears that I'll be having dinner and talking with my very-well-connected friend Kia later in the day.

Kia knows a lot of people in the entertainment industry and the professional wrestling business.

I'll let you know how the meeting goes and what we discuss that could potentially include the APS actors!

Meet Her In Person Tomorrow?

I'll also see if Kia is available at noon tomorrow.

If she is . . .

I'll invite her to attend our seminar event and you'll be able to meet her in person!

(not a bad contact to make!)

Lots of Red Carpets Upcoming

There are lots of events upcoming. Over 140 are listed on our September Calendar of Events already with more being added on a daily basis!

Please be sure to let us know
* Which events are of most interest *
* What your availability is over the next few weeks *

Radio Show Wednesday

I had a great phone conversation with Arlene Barshinger this morning. She hosts the daily (Mon-Fri) 1-hour radio show "UnScripted - Arlene Barshinger's Report on Entertainment News"

One of our clients, producer-actor Brett Hunt, was a featured guest last week. I will be Arlene's guest on Wednesday's show (11:00 am until 12:00 noon Pacific Time).

Want to do a Live Radio Interview?

Arlene is very open to interviewing our clients.

If you'd like to be on the show, drop me an email with "Radio Show" in the subject line.

My educated guess is that Arlene will interview every interested APS-Hollywood Success client who wants to appear live on her show! And, since she does five shows per week, her schedule is fairly flexible.

A Few Photos From the RED CARPET at the Burbank International Film Festival

"For Members Only" - 5:45 PM, Tuesday, September 4, 2012
The Burbank International Film Festival & The VegasCineFest International Film Festival


I just spoke with our friend Jeff Rector about ten minutes ago.  Jeff is the President of the Burbank International Film Festival.  The festival opens tomorrow and runs through Sunday.  www.BurbankFilmFestival.org

Jeff will be clearing some of our clients
for red carpet appearances later in the week.  He has information on all of our clients.  He will clear as many as he can and asked that I give him a call Thursday morning to discuss which of our clients would be approved for which red carpets there.

Jeff has spoken at our seminar events half a dozen times - normally about once a year - and he usually attends our private estate networking events.  Oh, yes, even more importantly, he has hired several of our clients for his film projects already and will certainly hire more in the future.


I received a phone call
early this afternoon from Vinny Gajee, the Festival Manager for the upcoming VegasCineFest at the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas.  (www.VegasCineFest.com).  He told me that they have plenty of publicity in Las Vegas but that they need PR in Los Angeles. I asked him to e-mail me information and he did.  Before I get back to him, I need to know how many of our clients would be interested in using this as an "excuse" to go to Vegas for a red carpet.  (We sent you a separate email with details - Please take a look and let us know)  -  Thank you!

Okay, now Rock discovers that producer and agent Timothy Beal has martial arts and professional wrestling experience.  "Okay," Rock suggests, "tie up with me." :-)
 It seems we have mutual friends in the wrestling and acting business, and we may be working together soon.  Small world!  And, of course, Rock's quote from the above photo to the right:  "Say you'll hire our actors of I'll break your other finger!"  (What a guy!  What won't Rock do for his PR clients!)     :-)

A Question for You . . .


"I was one of two guest speakers at today's monthly meeting of a Los Angeles business group.  The main speaker was  entertainment attorney Kevin James, who just happens to be running for Mayor of Los Angeles.  The latest polls indicate that he is a strong candidate who has risen to second place in popularity.  I have invited him; and he has expressed interest in attending our next networking event.  Now, here's my question to you:  Would you be interested in having him as a guest speaker at an upcoming seminar?  No, he is not a producer who can hire you for an upcoming feature film, but he is a very good and well-connected entertainment attorney who could just possibly be the next mayor of Los Angeles.  e-Mail me please and let me know.  Rock@HollywoodSuccess.com  Thanks!"

Dozens of photographers and videographers covered today's red carpet event, so tons of red carpet photos will begin showing up online over the next few days.  In the photos above are clients Bill Blair (world record holder-actor-producer) and Katarina Waters (extraordinary professional wrestler and actress).  Also Suzanne DeLaurentiis (producer of the film) and Rock Riddle.  Suzanne DeLaurentiis is one of the very top producers in our industry.  Her IMDB STARMeter ranks her within the upper one-fiftieth of one percent of entertainment industry professionals worldwide!  In fact, as of today, they have her ranked slightly higher than Ron Howard!  (Wow!)

4 More Clients Cleared for the DeLaurentiis Red Carpet Premiere at Universal Studios!

- Small World -

Four more of our clients had their schedules open up and asked if they could possibly be cleared for Thursday's Red Carpet Premiere at Universal Studios.  I told them that I would do my very best - "but it may be too late now."  Well, here's today's conversation regarding adding four more (notice the bolded, underlined wording - that's GREAT for you!):

EPR:  Thanks  All are confirmed.  Please let me know if the names you submitted are for sure coming?  If so I'll add them to the tip sheet for the press ;)  Thanks, Misty
RR:  At this time, all are confirmed.  Thank you very much, - Rock
EPR: awesome.  thanks ;-)
RR:  Thank you, Misty
EPR: I think we met at Cauliflower Alley Convention in Vegas.  My husband is Scott L. Schwartz.  lol  Not sure if you remembered ;)
RR:
Of course!  Thank you!  I felt a familiarity with you via the emails back and forth.  Now I know why!  Excellent!  Now I’m really looking forward to seeing you again.  Will Scott be there?  Thanks,  Rock
EPR: thanks.  no, he doesn't like red carpet events  lol
RR:  That IS funny!  Thanks, Rock

The photo to the right features, from left to right, producer-actor Jack Armstrong, producer-actor Scott Schwartz . . . and me at a CAC Convention in Las Vegas!
What a small world!  Another great door is opened . . . and opened wide . . . for us and our clients!  That's very cool!

New Times for Sunday APS/Hollywood Success Seminars!


I just received a phone call from Jeremiah Comey, the owner of the studio/theatre where we are currently producing our Sunday seminar events.  He needs for us to change our time so we can be finished by 3:00 pm.  Therefore . . .

We're going to do a seminar this Sunday, July 29, from 12:00 noon until 2:30 pm.

For future events, we may alter the time a little.  We can go in Sunday morning as early as we'd like - as long as we're out by 3:00 pm

I'd like your input.  What 2 1/2 hour block of time (that will allow us out by 3:00 pm) do you think would be ideal on a Sunday?  11:00 am until 1:30 pm?  Earlier?  What would work best for you?  Rock@HollywoodSuccess.com

Thank you!

"For Members Only" - Tuesday, July 24, 2012 - 11:00 AM
We Need For You To RECONFIRM for Thursday's Red Carpet Please


IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLEARED for Thursday's RED CARPET WORLD PREMIERE at Universal Studios, we need for you to RECONFIRM THAT YOU WILL BE WALKING THE CARPET.

For those of you who did NOT see the initial email in time, but have asked to be added to the RED CARPET, we need for you to RECONFIRM that you ARE available and want to walk the red carpet Thursday.

We were able to get 14 of our clients cleared initially.  One of the reasons that we were able to get so many clients "red carpet cleared" was because the information had not been released to publicists yet.  Now other publicists have the information and have made lots of client submissions.  This makes it more challenging to get additional APS/Hollywood Success clients added.  However, in two hours we will submitting our final revised client request.  SO, PLEASE LET US HEAR FROM YOU NOW - BEFORE we submit that final request.  And, congratulations to the original 14 who have already been cleared.  We'll see you Thursday!

A STRONG SUGGESTION - - - Please have email from us go directly to your cell phone.  That way, you won't miss opportunities.  On those occasions where we need to hear from you right away in order to submit you for (and/or have you cleared for) a red carpet event -- and you do NOT respond to us quickly -- you run the risk that you will not be considered for that project/event.  And, we never want you to miss an appropriate, career-boosting opportunity.

Thank you!

Rock Riddle

Good Evening!

We're limited in what we can include in an e-mailed newsletter; in order to include more information and share recent red carpet photos with you, we've "Moved" your newsletter here.  This is an experiment; please let us know what you think.  Let's begin with some recent red carpet photos...
 

5 Red Carpets in 5 Days!

  It's Tomorrow!!

Please Join Us!

 

 
This Event Includes a Special Screening
. . . and a few Producer Drop-Ins

A Note from Rock Riddle:  I'm finally going to do it.  On Sunday, July 22, for those who want to see it, I will be screening, for the first time ever, about 15 minutes of a rough cut of a TV pilot in which I starred.  And, here's your warning in advance:  This project is a "tea party mockumentary."  As such, it is totally politically incorrect, containing "adult" language, racial slurs, drug use/references and sexual situations.  In other words, it's an "equal opportunity offender."  The project was initially shot as a pilot (for series) for Sony's Crackle network.  They wanted something "really edgy" . . . and the producers of this project more than complied . . .

Those who would rather skip the screening are welcome to wait in the front theatre reception area.  For those who do see it, please let me know your feelings afterward.  Should we dare ever screen this again . . . or bury it forever?  :-)   And, for those who do see it, please keep in mind that you are not seeing me, Rock Riddle - you are seeing the character (Mike "The Moose" Meckler) that I played.  Thanks!

LAST SUNDAY

At last Sunday's seminar event, several producers-directors-casting directors dropped by.  They included:

(1)  BILL BLAIR:  Bill officially announced his new production company, NovaStar Pictures and talked briefly about his upcoming projects.  (Guess who Bill will be hiring for those films?)

(2)  PAMELA STATON:  A well-known and well-respected casting director, Pamela will probably have the casting director credit on the upcoming feature film "Squared Circle" which Ray Forchion is producing in association with Rock Riddle/APS.  Pamela is also a producer who has three upcoming feature films in various stages of development.  (Guess who she will be hiring for some of those roles?)

(3)  DONALD F. GLUT:  A multiple-award-winning producer-director-writer who has already hired at least two dozen APS actors for his nineteen projects (including starring roles!!), Don made several announcements.  They included the "official" announcement that he will be casting and directing four feature films during the next twelve months for Gregory Hatanaka's Cinema Epoch film production company.  Don also let us know that Gregory has expressed serious interest in funding or partially funding Don's next feature film - the one about female werewolves.  Don stated that he would personally fund up to half of his upcoming feature, depending on how much above 50% is financed by Cinema Epoch.  (Guess who Don will be hiring for those five feature films?)

(4)  BOBBY CHERRY:  Mr. Cherry came by to lend his support and to announce the formation of his film production company.  (Guess who he will be hiring for his upcoming film projects?)
 


We have much more information to share with you, but time does not allow us to do so in this newsletter.  We plan to have your next newsletter to you by Thursday.  By the way, did we mention what's happening Thursday? . . . 14, yes 14 of our clients are cleared to walk the red carpet at Universal Studios . . . VERY COOL!!!  "Stone Marker," a Suzanne DeLaurentiis Production in association with Promethean Light Media Red Carpet.
14
 
>>> CHECK YOUR EMAIL - If you let us know in time that you wanted to walk this red carpet, YOU WERE CLEARED.  PLEASE acknowledge receipt of the "clearance" e-mail.  Thank you!

Oh, yes . . . One more thing:  After the seminar and screening are over tomorrow afternoon, I will be heading back to Hollywood for another good networking event (free).  Here are the details.  Please feel free to join me.  It's certainly worthwhile . . .

SUNDAY, JULY 22, 2012 - 5:00 PM:  Hollywood Shorts presents its Short Film Program #11 and Filmmaker Happy Hour Networking Event.  From 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM.  A good networking opportunity with friendly and supportive people including more producers than non-producers.  Free.  For more information and/or to RSVP: http://jul22-es2.eventbrite.com  "I suggest you attend, and I hope to see you there.  I look forward to introducing you . . ."  -  Rock Riddle
 
Until next time . . .

ALL THE BEST!
