New York, New York - February 14, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

On Friday, January 20th Love-A-Thon was Live Streamed on Facebook during Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. UpWorthy sponsored this three-hour, celebrity-packed telethon to raise money for Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Earthjustice.

Love-a-Thon was the brainchild of Alex Godin, a 23-year-old tech entrepreneur. It was hosted by comedian Judah Friedlander, and included an impressive lineup of volunteers from each of the participating organizations. Among them were Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s Voter Rights Project; Lisa Garcia, the Vice President of Litigation for Healthy Communities at Earthjustice; and Dr. Leslie Kantor, the Vice President of Education at Planned Parenthood.

The event also featured pre-taped entertainment, skits, and musical performances from across the country. Among the many celebrities passionately involved in this activism were Jane Fonda, Judd Apatow, Tim Robbins, Misha Collins, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jillian Michaels, Chelsea Handler, David Duchovny, Martin Sheen, and George Takei.

The American Movie Company was proud to donate all of the WebCasting equipment, and its socially conscious crew offered their services for the telethon. Bill Milling was on set as production coordinator. Jason Gillet and Phil Fleischer operated the TriCaster. Arié Ohayon served as DP with Lou Blackmon and Loni Gest as camera operators. RJ Yenesel was the production’s sound mixer, and Elle Kyle became an impromptu AD when the slated person called in sick. Parm and Carm, two of AMC’s stellar producers, ran the production office.

The fundraiser was a great success, raising nearly $200,000. “We all had a good time on this project, despite the hectic task of coordinating the many guest transitions. We had to rearrange our schedule on the spot to accommodate theirs. However, in the end, it all ran smoothly on camera, and that is our top priority,” Elle Kyle commented. Elle detailed her experiences on set in a blog post.

In addition to WebCasting, American Movie Company offers a variety of video production services across the nation, including Green Screen Studios, Teleprompter and Interrotron Rentals. Central offices are located in NYC, LA and Miami. They have been involved in high profile location shoots including Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones and Lucky Number Slevin, among others.

As more young couples say yes to lab-grown, are natural diamonds losing their sparkle?

At the end of the day, it all comes down to price. That is why Pat Chung prefers lab-grown diamonds. The 36-year-old Hongkonger says they are much cheaper than a natural diamond for the same quality and size and they are easier to source. “I searched for the exact colour, size and shape that I wanted and sent it to my jeweller,” Chung says, adding that more people are opting for lab-grown diamonds compared to a decade ago. The global trend shows how dramatically the diamond business has changed...

I grew up eating bowls of Chinese migration history. You?

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...

How China’s macabre practice of human sacrifice in burials came to an end

Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...

Despite two much-maligned live-action film adaptations inspired by the popular fighting video game Street Fighter in the past several decades – its namesake 1994 film and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) – it seems Hollywood has yet to give up on the franchise. Paramount Pictures just premiered its live-action reboot film Street Fighter starring Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa and Callina Liang. The film’s plot follows the game’s fighter avatars Ryu (Koji) and his estranged...
