Kork TV Production Ends

Posted in Uncategorized on November 10, 2009 by Murad Abel

 

kork fireKork TV finally finished with two packed houses the weekend of November 7th and 8th. Kork TV is an original production by Len Fischer who is also the director of the show. He has been involved in theater most of his life but has only recently, in the past few years, moved into producing working productions.

The crowds cheered as the comedians performed on stage. The main character Murad Abel played Reginald who was forced to run a local television show instead of going to jail for defrauding viewers of his televangelist show. The second major character was Michael who played Simon who was similarly convicted.

As they move into Kork Idaho and take over the station they are met with a weird combination of Kork residents known as “Korkers”. The theater production consists of a farmer, a Carol Barnett look alike, an incompetent production assistant, a tough ex-wife, a narcoleptic weather man, and a stuttering sports guy. The total production is full of laughter and excitement.

Modeling vs. Acting: Don’t cut your career short.

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on November 2, 2009 by Murad Abel

 

Models sometimes have disdain for the acting venue. The models view acting as something that must require years of experience and lots of acting classes. This is far from the truth. The inability to get on stage could hamper your future efforts in your modeling career.

Many successful models have moved onto the stage because they know that their modeling careers will be over when they turn thirty. With the young age of models, ranging from 16 to 20, an older model simply will not have the same opportunities. The work and the pay slowly dwindle the older you get.

Getting on stage is a much better opportunity for many models who are over 20 years of age. Acting doesn’t require a certain age level and can be a viable career choice for years. Attractive models have a distinct advantage because the camera and their audiences love beautiful woman.

Learning about acting is more to do with practice and experience than it does with classes. A person who engages in any theater, commercial, or video production will gain the experience they need. As an attractive person you will have plenty of opportunities as extras, small productions, and spokesperson.

Acting does require the ability to express oneself in a particular manner even if he or she doesn’t have these feelings on the inside. Most female models do have this ability as they have dealt with the outside world. It is more of a question of harnessing these feelings then actually learning them.

It is also important to consider the amount of work available for actors and the amount of work available for models. Acting work is much more prevalent than modeling work. Acting might have a ratio to modeling of 5/2. This means that actors are much more likely to find meaningful work.

Certainly the goal is not to encourage models to give up their careers. It is to encourage people to expand their career into other venues like acting. We all get older and there is always someone prettier for the world to deal with. Having more skills means you will also have more opportunities.

Unity Studios Moving Forward

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The following statement is from Jimmy Lifton, president, Unity Studios. Lifton is commenting on a news story expected to air tonight on WDIV-TV based on an ambush interview conducted yesterday with representatives of Unity Studios. We believe the story is likely to create the impression that Unity Studios is not moving forward or is somehow facing significant difficulties. That is simply false.

Unity Studios is moving forward. It is important however, for us to acknowledge that certain project milestones have been slow to reach its desired goal due to many factors out of our control.

This project, one that requires significant financing and government approvals, has been hampered by the depression engulfing our economy. In addition, the negative perceptions created by some politicians in Lansing who threatened to reduce or eliminate Michigan’s best-in-the-nation film tax credits have slowed down all the state’s studio projects.

Even with these hurdles, Unity is moving forward. The Lifton Institute for Media Skills begins its first classes next week, despite the hardships imposed by the State running out of funds for job training. The construction process for the film stages, production services and post-production suites, all within the walls of its 600,000 square foot production building, has begun. The firm of Burton Share Management has been selected by Unity Studios as General Contractor for studio construction activities. Hobbs and Black out of Ann Arbor has been brought on as Architect for Unity. Movie projects have been slated and begin pre-production next month.

If Unity Studios has created public expectations we have not met based on those announced deadlines, we apologize. However again, Unity Studios is moving forward and any news story that creates a contrary impression is simply false.

We are proud to be moving forward, and doing it in Allen Park, Michigan.

We look forward to making important announcements in the coming weeks and months.unitysketch_540

2009 Dine and Vine

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2009 by Murad Abel

dine and vineThe 2009 Dine and Vine were held at the Cranbrook private school in Rochester Hills Michigan. The event was designed to encourage businesses and wealthy sponsors to donate to gleaner’s food bank. The September 23rd, 2009 event drew a large crowd of patrons who enjoyed food from local restaurants and a fashion show providing the latest fashions for purchase.

Of particular interest was the exceptional quality of models that were over 5’9” which is a rarity in the Detroit market. These models wore clothing from some of the high end dealers in the area. Each model acted professionally and did a great job on stage showing their skill and abilities.

A few of the models even received standing ovations whereby the crowd clapped for them and their outfits. Of particular interest was the wedding dress that turned into cocktail dress and a suit. Both of these products were well received by the crowd and will likely increase sales at the store.

There were around 25 female models and five male models. Each ran a show at 7pm and 8pm for the crowd that just left the dinning atmosphere. Models were drawn from a number of agencies around the Detroit area. Each model was selected for their height, experience, and measurements.

Article: Clean and Healthy Skin in Modeling

Article: Clean and Healthy Skin in Modeling

Healthy skin is important for any modeling career. Skin with major blemishes, dry flakes, and discoloration will ruin a models career before it gets started. Even though small blemishes can be edited out of photos most people with poor skin will be chosen behind those who look healthy. Runway models must have great skin because you cannot edit something in real time and real life.

Developing great skin is not easy. Naturally, skin is a protectant for the internal organs and other aspects of the body. Therefore, it will take a lot of abuse over a person’s life and will be prone to changes. This is one of the reasons why it grows fast, cuts eventually heal, and new cells are always being produced. Without fast rejuvenation skin will become non pliable and have an unhealthy look.

Skin on models should appear smooth, consistent in color, and moisturized. A soft look in skin is always more attractive than a harder look. If one were to touch the skin it should feel soft and moisturized. This is one of the reasons why many models use oils and lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Yet…not all of these oils and lotions help the skin even though it has a wet appearance.

A problem results when one takes a shower and uses the abrasive soap designed only to clean. Such soap can remove the natural oils from the skin making it hard and less pliable. Soap should have both a moisturizing and cleansing property. One should avoid chemical laden soaps manufactured and distributed in mass at your local grocery store or spa.

Apple-Soap_Model_JordanA much stronger alternative is to use soaps made with organic and natural products. The human body is very similar to what is found in nature and matching the qualities of the soap to nature is very important in giving skin the qualities and nutrients it needs. Ingredients like oatmeal, goat’s milk, and soy are products that are consistent with the living aspects of skin. Lye, fragrances, and other manufactured products can only take away from the beauty of skin by drying it out.

You can use any alternative product you desire in so long as it is made from nature and comes from the soil. However, MAG soap is both organic and comes from nature. It is handmade and hand poured on Michigan farms with the rejuvenating ingredients of goat’s milk with natural oils, soy, apple, and oatmeal. Each of these aspects helps put a little more flair in your skin and improve its quality. MAG’s natural soap sells for much less than what you would find at your local spa with 6 bars for $6.
