    (Watch the trailer left)

    The feature film ETERNAL KISS, stars Joseph Gallaccio, Laura Bleasdale, Carly Street, David Connellan, Christina Cuffari and Nigel Bennett. Written, produced and directed by Paul Kimball.

    Eternal Kiss tells the story of David Price, a thirty-something filmmaker who gets more than he bargained for when he sets out to make a documentary about people who believe in the existence of vampires and finds himself the target of media mogul Elisabeth Langstrom, a very real vampire who is convinced that David is her soul-mate. But nothing is as simple as it seems, as David has secrets of his own, including a tortured past that even he doesn’t fully remember or understand, and a burgeoning love affair with Laura, the new girl in town, who may also be more than she seems. In the end, it all comes down to a choice for David – fate, or free will - and the question of whether true love can really conquer all!

    ETERNAL KISS is being distributed by an LA distributor and will be available for viewing to the general public.

    AMY SARK, PRODUCER, WRITER, ACTOR IS NOW REPRESENTED BY ATLANTIC TALENT:

    ATA's Amy Sark

    AMY worked in the following films: Dog Girl-short film directed by Heather Young-it won the Best Overall Student films at the Montreal World Film Festival, -Amy played the Principal Role of Brittney's Mother; a woman who peaked/got pregnant in high school is now trying to understand her teenage daughter as the lives of teenagers have changed so much since she was young.
    Crazy Like Looking-film by Brian Eisner-being submitted into the festivals-Amy played the Principal Role of Sam who is a lonely slightly crazy single woman looking for love and Desrie who is also desperately single and aggressively looking for love.
    Just by Chance-short film-writer/producer/director-two sets of teenagers, boyfriend /girlfriend who seemingly have everything and a brother and sister who are forced to live on the streets after their father kills their mother. The film runs through two scenarios; the first scenario a planned robbery and unexpected murder and the effects of all who are involved and the second scenario shows what could happen when you are given a second chance at life.
    Amy has worked in film behind the scenes as well as a production assistant, location scout, locations manager and continuity. Last December Amy had the opportunity to make a short film which she wrote, produced and directed through a Mentor-ship grant from IMAC (Island Media Arts Co-op). Amy has started preparing her next film which is pre-production for labor day weekend 2010. She currently works in PEI at MCPEI (Mi'kmaq Confederacy of Prince Edward Island) in the communications department working on 4 documentaries (researching, shooting and editing) and planning celebrations for Mi'kmaq cultural events throughout the summer.
    Amy's goal is to be totally immersed in film, now knowing what it feels like to write a story, choose the people (or be chosen) to live through that character and act the words you have written, knowing that it's an extension of you, can have such an impact on peoples lives. Movies and television to her are a welcome vacation for the daily grind of the sometimes harsh realities of life and can remind you quickly of how good you have it. She loves the opportunity to make someones words come alive and make their story complete.
    Amy grew up in a rural community on Prince Edward Island and for as long as she can remember she has loved film. Amy started out by working on set to see how it was all made and then started some small roles in front of the camera and then writing/directing/producing. It's definitely a craft she can not get enough of and will continue to learn as much as she can as it is always changing. Amy's short film "Just by Chance" was mentioned in WIFTAtlantic (http://wift-at.com/pulse/pei-pulse/) twice and was just accepted to IMAFestival on PEI and it will be screened May 15 at City Cinemas in Charlottetown PEI at 3:30 pm in the-Youth and Emerging Artist category and entered into the festival junket shortly after.

    THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE ABOUT ATA'S AMY SARK APPEARED IN THE CHARLETTETOWN GUARDIAN:

    ATA's Amy Sark's Film Just By Chance

    Amy Sark’s film "Just By Chance" debuts at Island Media Arts Festival (poster right)
    by Ann Thurlow

    Amy Sark Some people say they dream of being a filmmaker. But Amy Sark actually did. I mean, she actually dreamed her first film, Just By Chance. “I had an incredibly vivid dream—I could see everything,” she explains. “I got up and wrote it down and that was my script.”
    It wasn’t her first foray into the world of film and television. She started by working as an assistant on the locally produced TV show, Aftermath. And she had a few experiences in front of the camera as well. But she studied to be a pharmacy technician and did not imagine another role for herself.
    Then came the dream, and a script.
    She had already taken a year off from the pharmacy sensing, perhaps, that something else was in store for her. She submitted her script to Island Media Arts Co-op’s mentorship program and it was accepted. All of a sudden, she was making a film.
    Just By Chance is a story about desperation and redemption—about a brother and sister who end up on the street and what happens as they try to survive. Sark wanted the actors to be the appropriate age so she put out a call on kijiji, looking for teenagers who wanted to be in a movie. She was overwhelmed by the response. She held auditions and began rehearsals. And from that point on, she knew she had made the right choice.
    She was impressed by her young cast, astonished by their willingness to work long hours simply for the experience. She had to scout locations, find someone to do hair and make-up, figure out costumes—as well as direct. Again and again, people came forward to help her and, even when she was wondering if she had bitten off more than she could chew, she was buoyed by the support.
    Just By Chance is not an easy story. The backstory of the young street kids is heartbreaking; the first step they plan for their survival is horrifying. But Sark did not flinch from telling it. Nor did she flinch from all the work involved in producing a twenty minute movie. Her IMAC mentor, Bill Harrington, edited the movie—she is still amazed, she says, by how true it is to her original dream.
    Her film had its debut at the IMAC film festival; she’ll now do what young filmmakers do all the time—start submitting it to other festivals.
    In the meantime, she has been hired by the Mi’kmaq Confederacy to produce a series of documentaries on Mi’kmaq contributions to PEI culture. (to see one of her documentaries, go to buzzon.com and follow the link at the bottom of the article about Amy). She is being paid for what she loves to do and she can hardly believe it.
    And, of course, she has had another dream. Again, she got up and wrote it down. And, again, she is planning to make another film. She is doing the other thing that filmmakers do—scrounging for money. Did she dream her life would come to this?

    PETER FLEMMING'S Acting Classes:
    The following, is from an actress who attended Peter's recent acting class

    Hi Gary, Nancy and Gloria
    I just want to extend a sincere thank you for giving me the wonderful opportunity to take Peter's acting class. He is a fabulous teacher and his approach to it is simply brilliant. He explained things in a way that just made sense. I have never been able to get to that level of comfortability and peace with myself. I really tapped into something amazing yesterday and I feel as though it is going to stay with me. I am forever grateful that he shared this knowledge with all of us. I really hope to get another chance to work with him again soon. Please thank him for me.
    Take Care,
    Jenny Lynn

    Peter Flemming's seminar was exactly what I needed as an actor.
    The information Peter provided was wonderful. He was very specific in presenting techniques for getting "castable" performances and was so clear in his explanation of how to apply these and make them personal. The workshop was a reality check for me and a refresher. It showed me that I am growing and reminded me to trust in my process. I would absolutely be interested in the 2 day extensive and hope Peter is able to offer such a class when he is next in Halifax. Any opportunity to train with Peter is a blessing. The more time the better. I was completely engaged the entire time. There was an incredible energy and sense of giving in the room. The exercises built so well off of each other. I really felt everything came together in the scene study portion of the class. The scenes were necessary for me to feel everything coming together. I would recommend this workshop in a heartbeat to all actors. Peter helps actors to feel they are not alone. His class was inspiring, humbling, and encouraging.
    Christina Cuffari

    Hello everyone,
    I'd like to tell you how much I enjoyed Peter's class last Saturday. I sincerly see the benefit that it will hold not only for myself but I believe for the others as well. Peter took the time to make sure everyone was addressed individually. During the course of the day you could see each of us making a few more steps toward our goals. It was facinating to see. He gave constructive critism and positive feedback to everyone. I was in awe with his teaching methods and the level of skills that he brought. I truly hope to be able to take his class next spring!
    Nancy and Gary, it was a pleasure to meet you.
    All the best,
    Manon Boudreau

    From Peter:
    Thank you to everyone who took my acting workshop sat 7th. It's an honor for me to be a part of your learning process. Thank's so much for your feed back. We all continue to learn together on this path. Its so rewarding to see all of you make huge strides in your acting abilities in a day. Affter the class I went to Vancouver to work on a project called "Dead Rising 2", where I play the lead character Chuck Greene.
    Peter :)

    NOTICE TO ALL ATLANTIC TALENT ACTORS: PLEASE take the time each day to check your emails to see if you have an audition. This industry has become a very competitive, fast moving high tech-business. I recently sent out audition notices to 30-actors, only half responded and confirmed.
    By not checking your emails, you are missing out on work. When we are working on several jobs at once it would be very difficult to call 30 odd actors, leave voice mails and track you down.
    The highly competitive industry can be very busy at times and we appreciate your FULL cooperation. Gloria Williams, Agent

    Paul Burke ACTRA, VOICE TALENT, listen to Paul's VOICE DEMO. Paul Burke played the Principal Role of Sam Baley in the feature film "Ante".
    View the Film Festival trailer.
    View Paul Burke's acting demo reel.
    Film summary: When down-on-his-luck Sam Bailey takes a wrong turn on a remote country road, he ends up with more than a little dirt to wash off his shoes after a miserable farmwife's hope for a better life becomes his worst nightmare. After Sam's greedy Russian wife discovers his deadly secret, she ups the ante with her own crazy plot - playing with Sam's life to cover her bet. An offbeat dark comedy with overtones of film noir and western genres, The Ante tells the story of a man's absurd gamble to save his innocence. Three desperate people who bet everything they have in a brainless high-stakes game of loser-loses-all.
    One of the most incompetent heroes you'll ever see, and two women you hope you'll never encounter in a story where you're as equally struck by the characters' bad choices as you are by the stunning visuals. I laughed a lot at this film, and most of those chuckles were the kind where I nodded as I laughed - because I got it, and I know the filmmakers got it, but I was positive that no one in their created world got it. Awesome. To audition Paul for a Voice Over contact Atlantic Talent by email, or phone (902)-404-3070.
