Los Angeles, CA – While the official film release of The 5^th Quarter (Angel City Pictures/Rocky Mountain Pictures) is still a few weeks away, interest in the film and it’s compelling true story of family, football and triumph over tragedy has been growing at film festivals across the country.

The 5^th Quarter is an emotional, true story about family, inspiration, football and the gift of life. When a tragic car crash claims the life of fifteen year Luke Abbate, his older brother Jon considers ending his own college football career but instead decides to honor his brother’s memory and continue playing.  With his coach’s approval, Jon changes his jersey to Luke’s number 5, and dedicates the upcoming football season in remembrance of his younger brother. Driven by Luke’s memory, Jon leads his underdog Wake Forest Demon Deacons to the ACC Championship, as they become the most improved team in America. With the support of his family, as they struggle with the pain of Luke’s loss, Jon helps rally a team, a school and a community to achieve more than could ever have been imagined.

Birmingham, AL – Fox Sports has rejected a proposed Super Bowl commercial featuring “John 3:16”, a reference to a Bible verse that has been part of the culture of football in America for decades.  Fans see it on signs in end zones after field goal and extra point attempts; on players’ tape and tattoos; and Tim Tebow was famous for writing it in his eye black.  And yet, many fans don’t know what it means.

In producing this commercial, Fixed Point Foundation hopes to encourage fans to look up John 3:16 and consider its meaning.  The spot ends by directing viewers to a website (lookup316.com) where the verse appears along with a simple explanation.  Neither the website nor the commercial sell a product, ask for money, or promote a political agenda.  It doesn’t even promote the sponsoring organization.  The idea is to encourage viewers to consider their source of ultimate hope and purpose.

Fox Sports rejected the commercial on the basis that it contained “religious doctrine.”  Of course, it seems one can advertize just about anything else.  Few movie trailers are deemed too violent or commercials too sexual for primetime.  But religious messages, even ones that are part of the sport and encourage viewers to decide for themselves if the message is a worthy one, are unacceptable.

In spite of Fox Sports’ rejection, the ad will air in some regional markets, starting with the state of Alabama.  It is part of an initiative called “LookUp 316.”

Below are the details:

WHEN: February 6, 2011; 5:30 PM Kickoff; Lookup 316 commercial will air twice locally during the game.  Website is www.lookup316.com.

Los Angeles, Calif. November 18, 2010 – Rocky Mountain Pictures will release The 5th Quarter, by writer/director Rick Bieber (Crazy), and starring Andie MacDowell (Groundhog Day) and Aidan Quinn (Legends of the Fall) in March 2011.  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release the DVD and On-Demand exhibition following the theatrical run.

The 5th Quarter is an emotional, true story about family, inspiration, football and the gift of life. When a tragic car crash claims the life of fifteen year Luke Abbate, his older brother Jon considers ending his own college football career but instead decides to honor his brother’s memory and continue playing.  With his coach’s aproval, Jon changes his jersey to Luke’s number 5, and dedicates the upcoming football season in remembrance of his younger brother. Driven by Luke’s memory, Jon leads his underdog Wake Forest Demon Deacons to the ACC Championship, as they become the most improved team in America. With the support of his family, as they struggle with the pain of Luke’s loss, Jon helps rally a team, a school and a community to achieve more than could ever have been imagined.

“I am very appreciative of the support that Fox has given The 5th Quarter, and am confident that the collaboration of Fox and Rocky Mountain Pictures will be a successful one,” said director Rick Bieber, “There are some very important messages expressed by this film, and we’re grateful and thrilled that audiences will have the opportunity to see it.”

The 5th Quarter has played successfully at a number of film festivals including The Heartlands Film Festival and The Hollywood Film Festival. In addition, the film has won Best Picture awards at Charleston International Film Festival, Long Island International Film Festival, Louisville International Film Festival, and the Best Screenplay award at the Boston Film Festival.

“We are very excited to be working with Rick on such an uplifting film, and we believe that the Abbate’s story will impact families everywhere,” said Randy Slaughter and Ron Rodgers, partners of Rocky Mountain Pictures.

Deal was orchestrated by Jay Cohen of the Gersh Agency on behalf of Bieber and Executive Producer Bob J. McCreary. The film was produced through Bieber’s Angel City Pictures in association with McCreary Entertainment. The media marketing campaign is being spearheaded by Bob Angelotti of Angelcom Media Group, Inc.

How a growing family-holiday tradition of storytelling became an inspirational novel about the true meaning of Christmas… and why the author believes we need to hear that message now more than ever…

(November, 2010) — When author Darryl Nyznyk decided to recite a short story for his then eight-year old daughter as a way of imparting to her the true message of Christmas, he never realized that it would one day be a much-anticipated inspirational novel. There was no reason for him to think otherwise. As a successful attorney, law professor and real estate developer, he had his future pretty-much set. It wasn’t until a downturn in the housing industry a few years ago, that Darryl finally found the ‘opportunity’ he had been looking for to devote his efforts full-time to his life-long passion of being an author.

Darryl, who, with his wife, Loretta, raised four now-grown daughters in a close-knit Christian home, also began to take a hard look at the world around him…one of extreme political and social divisiveness, apathy and hopelessness. It seemed like a pretty good time to share the message with the world that he had been telling in his own home all these years…. a message of hope, love and faith. A message found in the birth of Jesus Christ so long ago.

In the new book, Mary’s Son: A Tale of Christmas (Cross Dove Publishing, LLC, 2010, $15.95), author Darryl Nyznyk reminds us that in spite of the temptations and fears of twenty-first century life, the spirit of Christmas can be alive in the hearts of our children.

Eleven-year-old Sarah Stone is lonely in a mansion, where she lives amid butlers, nannies, housekeepers, and a father who is too busy for her. She is bright, beautiful, and angry at the world. On the other side of town, in a slum called the “Sink,” teen street-tough, Jared Roberts and his gang barely survive broken families and a hardscrabble existence. Jared, too, is angry at an unfair world, and he intends to do something about it. Into this mix comes a mysterious little man named Nicholas, who intrigues Sarah and Jared but scares those responsible for them. Against incredible doubt and cynicism, Nicholas tries to guide Sarah and Jared away from their anger and the destruction that will follow—only to realize he cannot move them by desire alone.  Finally, fed up, he whisks the two young people to another time and place where a Christmas long ago teaches them the true meaning of life in a way they never imagined.

While the message of ‘Mary’s Son’, has grown over the years, but always the lessons were clear about keeping Christ in Christmas and learning to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Mary’s Son is a heartrending story of youthful fears, passion, and tears that will give readers of all ages hope for a better world. Like the iconic Christmas image of Santa Claus kneeling before the manger, this story will move readers of multiple generations, as it allows parents to demonstrate the true meaning of Christmas, while still allowing the young people to identify with the more secularized traditions of the Season.

The Choir – de-plumed – Available Today

Grammy Nominated Indie Rockers Release Second Project in 2010, Acoustic Versions of Songs from Each of the Band’s Past Projects

Nashville, TN – de-plumed.  Laid bare; exposed; featherless.

Grammy-nominated, indie rock pioneers The Choir waited five years to release Burning Like the Midnight Sun in the summer of 2010, unsure of how it would be received.  While the band has a loyal and dedicated following, this 12^th project in the band’s catalog felt like a bit of a risk.  But with media outlets like the Chicago Sun-Times giving the album 4 out of 4 stars and calling it  “a late career triumph,” and a sudden new generation of fans discovering past projects, the band has found new momentum.

Shortly after the release of Burning Like the Midnight Sun, Derri Daughterty, the Choir’s vocalist, asked fans on the band’s Facebook page to give their 15 favorite Choir songs.  Not surprising, each person seemed to have a full list of favorites, most that spanned the entire 25-year career of the band.  This sparked an idea to create an album of fully stripped down songs, one from each of the band’s 12 albums.

And the project de-plumed was born.

Joined by longtime friend Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer) on the cello, de-plumed covers the iconic history of The Choir.  Daugherty, joined with drummer and lyricist Steve Hindalong, set out to find the one song from each project that exemplified the band at that moment.  Intimate and vulnerable, the simple beauty of de-plumed proves that when you remove the placards of musical trends from each album, what truly remains are melody lines and songs that stand the test of time.

Like the previous album, the cover image was created by New Orleans-based visual artist R.R. Lyon, known for using salvaged or reclaimed pieces of his own art that he re-contextualizes to give new purpose.   Earlier this fall, the band traveled to The Big Easy to be a part of a visual and musical art experience, as the artist created a painting to go along with each of the songs on Burning Like the Midnight Sun.

Always the innovators, the band continues to find new ways to get their music to the masses.  Hindalong and Daughterty have been hitting the road with a full tour schedule all fall, playing as an acoustic duo, now in support of both Burning Like the Midnight Sun and de-plumed.   These shows kicked off with a special event holding a fan BBQ in Nashville complete with stories from the road, family photos and an acoustic concert in band member Dan Michaels’ backyard.   Since then, then shows have taken on a casual feel, where many requests are played, the crowd is involved, and videos of songs are virally available online before the events are even complete.

For those who were unable to attend these acoustic shows, a special live streaming event will be held December 14, when the band will broadcast live from their studio in Franklin, TN.   Fans will be able to view the event and interact with members by going to the band’s official website, www.thechoir.net

Burning Like the Midnight Sun continues to garner critical acclaim:

• …an exceptional album…a late career triumph.  4 out of 4 Stars -The Chicago Sun Times.

• On this record, The Choir soars… - QroMag.com

• With its timeless sound and excellent songs, Burning Like the Midnight Sun is not only a striking return to form but also a fine entry point to newcomers. – BigTakeover.com

• ****4 Star Review****  Even with a five year hiatus, the band’s entrancing rhythms, dreamy arrangements, thought provoking lyrics and overall attention to artistic detail hasn’t missed a step, ensuring its current relevance in addition to upholding pioneer status. - CCM Magazine

• As always, The Choir’s subtle and layering of effects-laden guitars, pulsating percussion and moody saxophones achieves a gorgeous shimmer. - iTunes official Review

• This latest release from the Grammy-nominated group masterfully integrates the diverse artistic personalities of all five members. - Rhaposody.com

• …if you are looking for a new album that you will thoroughly enjoy, or a new album to fall in love with, this album is an ideal choice. This is easily one of The Choir’s best albums, if not their best to date. Burning Like The Midnight Sun is an unbelievable display of writing, vocals, and musical ability; it only gets better with each listen – JesusFreakHideout.com

We are sad to announce the passing of Randy Miller, drummer from the band, The Myriad, on November 5, 2010.  A wonderful husband, dedicated father, beloved friend and talented musician, Randy had been battling chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer since 2008.  Randy was 39 years old.

Randall J. Miller was born February 9, 1971 in Long Beach, CA, and moved to Redding, CA in 1985.   In 1997, he married Kristyn Davis and they have two children, Conner, age 11, and Gillian age 9.  Randy founded and ran Metolius Construction with his business partner and friend Tommy Carlson, but in 2006, he gave into his musical passions and talents, and began playing drums for the band The Myriad.   Known for his quiet demeanor and contagious smile, Randy transformed into a musical force when he sat behind the drums.   The Myriad became more of a brotherhood than a band, with Randy the constant, steadily keeping the whole group in time.

While we know Randy was exceptionally talented, we will most miss his gentle ability to make everyone feel loved and appreciated.

“Randy was a rare gem.  A totally humble man, but an amazing drummer and confident musician who owned his craft.  He was a man who loved Jesus, his family, and any chance he could get to play the drums.” – Tim Taber, Floodgate Records.

“Randy breathed life into everyone around him all the way until the very end. People would come to the hospital to visit Randy and encourage him but quickly found out the visit would be quite the opposite. He began to pour out words of encouragement and tell people to do everything that’s in their heart.  He saw things in people that no one else recognized and his words of life ignited fires that could not be put out. He has changed my life and most of the people I know.  Randy was a great man.” – Jeremy Edwardson, vocalist from The Myriad.

“Randy never had anything handed to him. He faced challenges throughout his life that would make most buckle. I am honored to have seen how a Godly man lives; with strength, kindness, compassion, and heart.  Selfishly I will miss him always; this world will be emptier without him. But I believe with everything in me that heaven will be richer with my friend there.” –Steven Tracy, guitarist from The Myriad.

Two weeks ago, band members, past and present, as well as dear friends gathered to say goodbye to Randy.  During the afternoon, Randy said something that seems to sum up his life: “I’ve been thinking about my life lately and how I’ve never really been a wealthy man, especially after the past 2 years of medical bills.  We’re renting our house and we don’t have much.  But you know, somehow I just feel so rich.  I have an amazing family, and the best job ever.  I just feel so rich. Somewhere that’s gotta mean something.  Somewhere we all have a cosmic currency.”

In lieu of flowers, friends request that donations be made to cover the funeral costs.   Like many musicians, the Millers did not have health or life insurance.  Donations can be made at the Online Giving section of http://thestirring.org – and clicking on the Mercy Fund designated for the Miller Family.  All donations are tax deductible.

We are thankful for your thoughts and prayers for Randy’s friends and family.  He will be dearly missed.

Early reviews for the project are coming in:

• “…a stunning album. 8.5 out of 10.”  – Soul Audio

• “This will certainly be a Christmas goodie that has one original song, as well as an instrumental interlude, along with four covers that amazingly don’t sound like the re-treads that we’re so used to ’round these parts. Grade: A” – Christian Music Zine

• “With plenty of influence from across the board and enough unexpected turns to keep one’s interest throughout, Advent Christmas EP, Volume 2 is yet another winning project from Owyoung and his rotating set of musicians. Four and a half stars. “ – Jesus Freak Hideout

Advent Christmas 2 is designed to be a cohesive piece that merges effortlessly with the original Advent Christmas EP.  After touring on the first EP, the band realized that these Advent CDs had become a large part of the makeup of the band, and the desire for a second was evident.   With it’s epic sound, creative instrumentation and traditional values, the Advent EPs hope to honor and enhance this most holy of seasons.

Future of Forestry Christmas tour dates to be announced in the upcoming weeks. Current schedule can be viewed at http://events.myspace.com/72475801/Events/1 or at www.futureofforestry.com

Phoenix, AZ – WHEN I’M WITH YOU, the third full-length CD by indie darling JJ Heller, is in digital and brick and mortar retail outlets today.

Leading up to the release, WHEN I’M WITH YOU has received early critical acclaim:

• This is one of those “gourmet” albums that only comes along every once in awhile… ” This is one of the freshest and most authentic albums of the year – New Release Tuesday

• One thing that I like to do when reviewing a release is as I’m listening to it if a song really strikes my fancy I’ll put an asterisk on my writing paper by its title. Usually I’ll have 1 or 2 songs marked but on this release I marked every song because as they played the high quality of music just kept flowing out of my stereo’s speakers. – CW Ross

• With transparency, grace, and evident humility, JJ Heller has given a beautiful offering of love to the listener’s ears. – JesusFreakHideout.com

Leading up to the release, the song “What Love Really Means” has landed firmly on the charts, reaching #24 on the AC Monitored and #12 on the AC Indicator this week.  In a surprising turn, JJ Heller’s latest video “What Love Really Means” has seen unprecedented success, capturing over 100,000 views in it’s first week posted on YouTube.  Filmed and edited by Nashville filmmaker John Moessner, the video reflects the simplicity of the song, which tells the story of normal people in their day-to-day struggle, asking to be loved just for who they are.

JJ and her band are currently half way through the Today Tour, playing alongside 33 Miles and Chris and Conrad.

JJ Heller – WHEN I’M WITH YOU, in stores today, October 19, 2010, distributed through New Day Distribution.
