Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) April 02, 2012

In support of Autism Acceptance Month in April, Goody Awards (http://goodyawards.com) launches a cause marketing campaign today (Autism Acceptance Day) to support changing the conversation about Autism to acceptance and appreciation versus negative tones often associated with Autism Awareness Month. In 2002, the estimate was 1 in 150 American children had some form of autism, and with the new CDC estimate of 1 in 88 children, this 78% increase makes its even more important to increase our understanding. To recognize the many social good contributions of an individual who is changing this conversation, Goody Awards will be presenting a 17-yr-old Award-Winning Visual Effects Animator, Dani Bowman, who is autistic with a Golden Goody (top award like getting an Oscar in Social Good) in April.

Dani Bowman started her own animation company at only 11 years old, Powerlight Studios, and has since illustrated two anti-bullying books, writes and voice acts 9 different cartoon series, illustrated and did the voiceover for the upcoming Rethinking Autism PSA and is currently working on a film. Dani aspires to be the Temple Grandin of her generation, and recently did red carpet interviews at the Los Angeles Animation Film Festival with animators such as Academy Award Nominee Bill Plympton http://www.powerlight-studios.com/OneOnOne. Dani Bowman commented, I am honored to be the recipient of the Golden Goody Award. As a person with autism, I think its important to stand up against bullying for those in the autism community, spread positive awareness of autism and inspire others with autism to follow their own dreams. Danis uncle and guardian Patrick Eidemiller added, It is wonderful that Dani has been selected for the Golden Goody Award acknowledging her work in the autism community and knowing that she is making a difference in the lives of others. In support of Autism Acceptance Month, Dani just posted this iReport message on CNN http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-769312

This Goody Awards cause marketing campaign will include a sweepstakes on Facebook http://on.fb.me/H79U6R and Twitter http://bit.ly/H5FzdQ where individuals can make a difference by entering to win an iPad (random drawing) plus give an iPad to an autistic child. Dani Bowman will select the autistic child who receives the iPad based on a needs survey that she is currently doing with Extra Special Kids on Facebook. The iPad, like other computers, is an effective communications tool for many on the autism spectrum. The touch screen and layout make the iPad more accessible for children with coordination or learning difficulties; and these children may find sliding and tapping easier than either typing or writing. Moreover, the iPad can be easily carried, and thus is helpful for calming and focusing children on the go. (Social Good Shout Out #HeroGoody #GoodyAwards to former MySpace Designer and Manager, Charles Saltzman, for designing the sweepstakes graphics.)

Dana Commandatore and her husband, Actor Michael Broderick co-founded Rethinking Autism and are raising an autistic son with the hope of a better quality of life for autistic people and their families. Rethinking Autism hosted Temple Grandin as a speaker and will be releasing a new Rethinking Autism PSA next week that is illustrated with voice-over by Dani Bowman and includes several other autistic contributors. The new PSA will be posted on RethinkingAutism.com and the Goody Awards Facebook and Twitter. Dana Commandatore shared, “It is a pleasure to work with Dani. Her talents, drive and determination are impressive for any 17-year-old. We are used to hearing about all the challenges associated with autism, there is also a beautiful side that is evident in Dani and her work.” http://rethinkingautism.com

There are many autistic children who love math, music, videos and games, and are making a great impact on digital entertainment. To help bring awareness to the digital entertainment community, Goody Awards will be speaking at a Digital LA Social Good startups event on Tuesday, April 3rd in Los Angeles to kick off this campaign. CEO/Founder Liz H Kelly, shared, Were honored to have met Dani Bowman through Rethinking Autism and work together on this campaign. I also have an 8-yr-old nephew with autism who loves playing on the computer, his iPod Touch, and making movies. We learn from him every day.

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) March 29th, 2012 (PRWEB) March 29, 2012

In 2008, two fitness instructors (one from Canada and the other from England) met while working on board a Carnival Cruise Line ship. They became friends and later shared their dream of making movies.

After their contracts with the company ended and lengthy discussions about their futures, they decided to go for it and make a feature film. Dominique Adams wrote a twisted love story that could be produced on a micro-budget and invested his life savings. Tom Broadwell borrowed money from his father to co-produce the film and then starred in the lead role.

‘Twisted Seduction’ was filmed in Montreal, Canada with the help of UQAM (L’Université du Québec à Montréal) film students on a $ 30,000 budget. The film was shot in 10 days, using high quality cameras (4K RED HD), so that it could meet theatrical release standards. It premiered in the summer of 2010 at the 14th Annual Fantasia International Film Festival, in Montreal, Canada.

The passionate filmmakers dream was for the film to be released into theaters. But more than anything, the two former trainers wanted people to see and experience their film.

Without industry connections or even an agent, making it to the big screen is quite a hard task. It’s useless to have our movie in the cutting room unreleased, and we don’t like the idea of charging a viewing fee and profiting from the few loyal fans we have. That is why we are offering it free of charge.

Ironically, we’re actually spending money for people to watch our film, with the hosting and streaming fees, not to mention the 30K production costs. But if many people enjoy our little flick and pass the word around over time, it might give us an opportunity to make more films, which is what we ultimately want. says Broadwell.

I’ve written several other screenplays ranging from sci-fi and fantasy stories to adult comedies and romance. So hopefully, ‘Twisted Seduction’ helps us by getting our foot in the door. says Adams.

‘Twisted Seduction’ tells the story of a young British mathematician (Tom Broadwell) who locks himself up in an industrial loft with an attractive sales executive (Caroline Brassard) who was analyzed and selected based on 78 dimensions of compatibility. He is convinced that he can make her fall in love with him by following strategic psychological steps and using well planned charm, despite the fact that he is holding her against her will.

Obviously, our film does not rely on special effects but only on the interactions of two characters. It’s an original little twisted love story that people should watch when they’re bored with nothing else to do, so they have a chance to get into the characters, allowing the story to progress from a slow beginning to a charming story with an unexpected ending. says Adams, who also directed and edited the film.

‘Twisted Seduction’ will be released exclusively on their official movie site on March 29th, 2012 (it will not be offered in HD to avoid slow streaming.) In order to avoid third party web sites charging viewers, the film will not be downloadable nor embeddable, as the first time filmmakers wish to keep it 100% free.

Another interesting possibility would be to have this film produced as a remake. It has several plots at the end, which left audiences stunned at Fantasia. I could see Bradley Cooper kidnapping Angelina Jolie in that role. Two A-listers taking over the Box Office with a low budget wicked love story. I’d pay money to see that. concludes Adams.

You may view the entire film on the movie site at:

Mariachi music is a genre of music that started in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. The music is amalgamation of stringed instruments highly impacted by the cultural and historical growth of the western part of Mexico.

Originally Mariachis from Mexico were street musicians, but these days they are mostly professional entertainers who perform at weddings and other events as well as in movies. Most Mariachi band members can play many instruments and they all can sing.

Interested parties wanting to attend Thursdays March 26ths mariachi music festivities are encouraged to call ahead and make reservations.

Matcha.tv, an online video aggregator that intelligently integrates users streaming video services, social graph and rich metadata for a more personalized video experience, is now available for iPad users with the launch of the Matcha.tv iPad app. Matcha.tv users can now easily find, follow and watch their favorite movies and TV shows from various providers such as Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, Amazon, and Comcast Xfinity directly from their iPad via Matcha.tvs unified user hub.

With more than 200,000 on-demand, streaming video titles scattered across multiple services and devices, the process for finding and following movies and TV shows online has become increasingly fragmented and frustrating for consumers. Viewers are also spending too much time searching for content and getting irrelevant results in return. Matcha.tv was specifically developed to combat these problems.

Before cable TV we relied on the latest copy of TV Guide to help us find and follow our favorite TV shows and this later evolved into the electronic program guide that many of us still use today, said Guy Piekarz, Matcha.tv co-founder and CEO. However, the explosion of the streaming video industry along with the increased popularity of tablet devices has dramatically changed how users are finding and watching movies and TV shows, and the idea of a single programming guide must be re-imagined. Matcha.tvs personalized aggregation technology quickly filters through 200,000+ streaming video titles to provide accurate and intelligent recommendations so users can start watching their favorite videos faster.

Matcha.tvs goes beyond aggregating 200,000 titles of premium content, incorporating multiple layers of smart functionality to create a personalized program guide, including:

Rich meta and social data In addition to basic content information (title, date, duration, etc.) provided by each online video service, Matcha.tv aggregates rich metadata from sites like IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes, YouTube as well as Facebook open graph to provide movie trailers, professional reviews, friends ratings and viewing history.
A proprietary social recommendation engine – Recommendation engines help users filter through massive content catalogs, but often fall short of users expectations. Matcha.tv’s unique recommendation engine combines traditional collaborative filtering algorithms with a users own social graph.
Curated channels Matcha.tv uses a combination of algorithmic and crowd sourcing methods to offer users unique channels of new content (e.g., Hottest, Recommendations, Friends and Newly Available).
Smart cloud DVR Like a smart online DVR, Matcha.tvs DVR will always point users
to their next available episode across all the selected services and devices.

With global iPad sales approaching 100 million, Matcha.tv developed its iPad application to serve these mobile users most of whom report watching on-demand TV shows, full-length movies and live broadcasts on their devices. Additionally, the company plans to release its application on more platforms later this year.

ABOUT MATCHA.TV
