Robert Campbell

The Arts and Entertainment Magazine has learned that Producer Robert F. Campbell (interviewed in our March 1, 2011 issue) has a new project in the works. Robert is another mainstream producer that has began producing web series films.

His wife, Muriel Campbell, has recently produced the popular web series, Pink Slip, which has been displayed in our magazine. Robert’s new project is titled Inconceivable Housewives. Bob says, “Here’s the idea behind “Inconceivable Housewives”…a joint Rainycourt and Pennylane Production. Robert’s partner in the production is Anna Damergis.
“Female friends form a support group to encourage each other as they try to accomplish the one goal missing from their lives. All in their ’30s,-,, they’ve achieved success in marriage and business— but, the clock is ticking and they all want to become biological mothers. They cheer each other on…with comical and, often, poignant results.” (more…)

The Arts and Entertainment Magazine is very pleased to learn the Producer Jason Figgis, whom we had interviewed in the November 2011 issue of our magazine is working on a new film.

The tile of his new production is called The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann  which tells the story of a young girl who is forced to become the mother image for her family after her own mother’s death. Raising her younger siblings as if they are her own children, and caring for her bereaving father, Isabel struggles in her new role in life. This is no ordinary tale of woe, however, as a new wrinkle takes hold of her future. Isabel becomes a victim of a vampire and slowly turns to the dark side.

Jason is presenting this story, and we have added a link to the campaign he is running to gain supporters. With our magazines many contacts in the world of cinema, and our many friends in Hollywood, this should become a winning film for the horror crowd. We look forward to seeing this film in movie houses across the United States, and hope that the movie moguls in Hollywood pay close attention to our News Flash about Jason’s production. (more…)
