In a small town in Southern Appalachia, a trucker must decide if he will stand up and take action against sex trafficking at his truckstop
In a small town in Southern Appalachia, a trucker must decide if he will stand up and take action against sex trafficking at his truckstop
January 31 2016
I am sitting and having a Sunday brunch with Lionheart friend, Pearl Gluck, east of Union Square in a second avenue diner in New York City. Speaking clear and direct, she shares with me the agenda of finishing her remarkable film, The Turn Out. Pearl is a pretty much totally awesome friend and what I appreciate most about her is her momentum— Pearl has a driving force and advancing strength that enables her to complete tasks and finish projects. (And here I thought I got stuff done. Fuggedaboutit.)
Pearl is a Brooklyn girl, a self-discovered creative genius confirmed by many, and all-around fascinating. Pearl has a fast, decisive pace and it really pumps me up.
More about Pearl:
Pearl Gluck calls her process of making films "personal archeology." Each of her films combine an element of autobiographical storytelling with a crafted three-act structure, whether it be her debut film about her own trajectory from her Hasidic upbringing in Brooklyn to her latest film, The Turn Out, which turns the lens on domestic sex trafficking in Southern Appalachia. Pearl and her work have been part of the Sundance Lab, as well as played at the Cannes Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, and PBS.
Pearl founded Palinka Pictures, which is a multimedia production company with a twist— creating, writing and producing productions involving artists, media makers, and educators to make a difference through the arts.
Now she is raising finishing funds for her latest film, a documentary-fiction hybrid, which is nothing short of remarkable. The Turn Out tells the story of a trucker who discovers that an under-aged girl is being sex-trafficked at his local truck stop in Mineral Wells, West Virginia. He must decide if he will be moved to get involved or if he will remain a bystander. The cast includes truckers, trafficking survivors , and activists. It is a fictionalized storyline which emerged from her documentary research and shot on location where efforts are being made to combat local trafficking at truck stops.

This is the only theatre collaboration training program in this country.
One Of The Lionheart Talent Group's Primary Initiatives Is Holistic Health & Well-being. Laughter Improves Both Physical And Spiritual Health So We Have Some Jokes :)
- My astronaut girlfriend has dumped me; she said she needed more space. I asked my mom if I was ugly, she replied, “I told you not to call me mom in front of people.
- Alabama changed the drinking age to 34; they wanted to keep alcohol out of the high schools.
- I just changed my Facebook name to No One, so when I see stupid posts I can click like and it will say “No One Likes This.”
Laughter For Physical Health:
- decreases stress hormones
- increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies,
- improves your resistance to disease
- triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel good chemicals
- promotes an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain
- is one of the most commonly used complementary therapies among deadly disease and cancer patients,
- tones abs by working the muscles in your stomach as they expand and contract
- lowers blood pressure— low blood pressure means less risk of strokes and heart attacks
- improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which help protect you against heart attacks
- averts the negatives of life that could lead to depression.
Laughter For Spiritual Health:
- Rabbi Noah Weinberg reminds us that "laughter is a deeply spiritual emotion," not to mention Purim, the official "Jewish day of laughter, when we dress up in funny clothes and act silly."
- Henry Ward Beecher: "Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it."

Mindfulness Is A State Of Mind Where The Brain Is Considered To Be Attentive Of The Present Moment Without Judgment.
Mindfulness Training Results In Acting More Clearly, Decisively And With More Resilience.
Judge
Mindfulness has become a major topic of psychological research. Practicing mindful meditation has been tied to more emotional stability, quality of life, ease, and other positive outcomes.
Sadly and regrettably, actors are popularly assumed to hold the opposite of those qualities.
Creativity can and will flourish when you are in a safe condition; when you know you will not be criticised or judged.
For actors that judgment predominatly comes from themselves.

"I have always believed in the law of attraction"
- One day my wife suggested that I go and audition for The Color Purple but they were only auditioning people for the Chicago tour. I knew that I couldn't do the Chicago tour because of my job at the fire department, but my wife encouraged me to go and show my stuff because she believed that maybe they would want me for the Broadway show.
- I went in, I sang and to make a long story short, my agent calls me the next day and tells me that they didn't want me for the Chicago tour.
- I said "That's O.K... No problem"
- And then he said "They want you for the Broadway show".
- Boom. Guy books a Broadway show -The Color Purple.

KENT GASH is the founding Director of NYU Tisch School of the Arts’ New Studio on Broadway and the director of the late fall 2016 Senior Showcase Production of THE RIOT OF THE TIPSY BACCHANALS!

A member of the Tony Award Nominating Committee, Professor Gash is a graduate of the Carnegie-Mellon University School of Drama with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting and the University of California at Los Angeles’ School of Theatre, Film and Television with a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Directing for the Theatre and Television.
Kent has put together the most amazing senior showcase I have ever scouted and I have been witness to over 300 senior showcases. His kids hustled. His kids were intense. His kids executed. His kids were talented. His kids took no prisoners. From the brilliant opening scene with the brilliant Portia Boston (singer & movie star) to the end with Panda bear rising worship, I was standing and applauding this group. You don't get results like that unless the head coach (Kent Gash) possesses some or all of the following listed below. I'm sure he has all of those traits plus more. It was a pleasure to meet him after the show.
Kent has put together the most amazing senior showcase I have ever scouted and I have been witness to over 300 senior showcases. His kids hustled. His kids were intense. His kids executed. His kids were talented. His kids took no prisoners. From the brilliant opening scene with the brilliant Portia Boston (singer & movie star) to the end with Panda bear rising worship, I was standing and applauding this group. You don't get results like that unless the head coach (Kent Gash) possesses some or all of the following listed below. I'm sure he has all of those traits plus more. It was a pleasure to meet him after the show.
- Unrelenting work ethic
- Recruiting and development
- Ability to adapt
- Attention to detail
- Making the process fun

Penn State Professors are— with the leadership of Boaz Dvir— producing a PBS documentary on unsung hero, Michel Cojot, narrated by Judd Nelson.
A preview of the film will be presented by the American Jewish Historical Society on March 23, 2016 in New York City.
The documentary, which Dvir fashions as a “suspenseful character study,” will focus on two pivotal events in Cojot’s life.
One, after his lifelong obsession of hunting down ex-Gestapo Commander, Klaus Barbie. Cojot has a clear shot and when he was about to pull the trigger, Goldberg relates that he was unable to kill Barbie for a number of complex psychological reasons, including a haunting quotation from Elie Wiesel that impeded his action: “Every murder is a suicide.”
The second tells the story of playing a pivotal role in one of history’s most daring and successful hostage-rescue operations.

ABSTRACT: Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, Vol. 6(3), Aug 2012, 224-230.
“Research in the field of entertainment-education demonstrates that narrative forms such as TV and radio can impact prosocial behaviors and attitudes. The current study addresses whether attitudes can also be affected by musical theater. Attitudes were assessed in 171 audience members before and after a professionally produced musical comedy that used social–cognitive principles to explore the theme of deer hunting. Measures included an 8-item Hunting Attitude Scale and an instrument assessing audience engagement (captivation, intellectual stimulation, emotional resonance, spiritual value, social cohesion/insight, and specific emotional reactions). A significant change was observed in attitudes targeted by the show. Audience members' reports of emotional engagement and insight were significantly related to hunting attitude change. Participants who had complex emotional reactions to the show (e.g., feeling both happy and sad) were significantly more likely than those who had only positive reactions to score higher on multiple engagement measures. Although previous research has found a link between strength of audience emotional involvement and personal efficacy, present results suggest an important additional role for complexity of emotional reaction.”
Overall, the study indicates that musical theater may be a promising method for promoting attitudinal change.
“So what’s the relationship between attitude and behavioral change?” you may be asking.
Behaviors usually, but not always, reflect established beliefs and attitudes. For example, a man who believes strongly in abstinence before marriage may choose to remain a virgin until his wedding night. Under other circumstances, that same man may engage in premarital sex despite his convictions after being influenced by social messages that his masculinity is dependent on sexual activity. Attitude is a feeling, belief, or opinion of approval or disapproval towards something. Behavior is an action or reaction that occurs in response to an event or internal stimuli (i.e., thought). People hold complex relationships between attitudes and behavior that are further complicated by the social factors influencing both.
Behavior can be influenced by a number of factors beyond attitude, including preconceptions about self and others, monetary factors, social influences (what peers and community members are saying and doing), and convenience. Someone may have strong convictions about improving the public school system in their town, but if it means a hefty increase to their property taxes, they may vote against any improvements due to the potential for monetary loss; or they may simply not vote at all because their polling place is too far from their home, or the weather is bad on Election Day.
