MOVIE SPOTLIGHT - "THE MEAT PUPPET"


1). meat puppet; (noun)
person(s) that have no will of their own; somebody that lets others control them. Another name for a human being, especially one who doesn't think for him/herself, has no soul and is therefore controlled by others).


Currently filming in New Jersey is this year’s new bone chilling horror/thriller “The Meat Puppet”. From the mind of Award Winning Actor Keith Collins, along with Silver Phoenix Entertainment, Valenti Vision Films and the pen of NY Emmy Award Winning writer Joseph Pepitone and Billy Pepitone (“Stuck in the Middle”) comes a sadistic thrill fest, full of twists and turns, that is sure to give movie goers the fright of their lives.

A vain, successful playboy tortures and kills beautiful girls and uses them to make the perfect meal for his lavish dinner parties. Body parts, blood, torture, cannibalism and NO escape are a few ways to describe this clever new terrifying and psychologically damaging creep show.

“The Meat Puppet” tells the story of Andrew “Drew” Shelton who has it all – looks, money, women and an insatiable taste for human flesh. His vanity is only surpassed by his obsession with finding the perfect tasting meal and it has fueled his appetite for killing, preparing and cooking beautiful women. He throws lavish dinner parties and serves his guests his latest victim and one unlucky guest becomes the main course of his next get together. When a no-nonsense detective starts putting the pieces together, it leads to a game of cat and mouse that only increases the stakes. But is Drew the soul-less, cold-blooded killer that he appears to be? Or is he just the Meat Puppet for a more sadistic mind?

Directed by Joe Valenti (“Echelon 8”). Produced by Keith Collins. Produced & Executive Produced by Blaze Kelly Coyle and Joe Valenti. Written by Joseph & Billy Pepitone.

PARAGON ALGORITHM THE MOVIE FILMS

We got to speak with the next upcoming thriller team Jana (AJ) Mattioli and Serge Levin during their audition process. Lets just say that the quote by Albert "RealityIsMerelyAnIllusion,AlbeitAVeryPersistent One” describes it best.



“Paragon Algorithm” is a surreal and chilling ride into the untapped dimensions of reality. Written & Produced by Serge Levin (An Affirmative Act) with the support of an award winning Producer & Director Jana (AJ) Mattioli (An Affirmative Act, The Coffee Shop).

The film tells a story of a genius undergrad physics student, Andrew, who discovers the ultimate equation that quantifies and unlocks the true mechanics of time. His findings will break your preconceived notions about time, and startle you with the immense power that this key commands.

How many doors does the key unlock, how dangerous are the repercussions, and how permanent are the rips in existence? Through the eyes of Andrew you will embark on a journey of scientific discovery and traverse across several dimensions of our existence



Andrew’s perception of reality will become skewed and the interlacing of various events will become all too reminiscent of a dream. But is it really a dream or the side effects from Andrew’s experiments? You will be the judge.

“Paragon Algorithm” is a visual portrayal of concepts which may seem abstract but actually have solid scientific foundation. Aside from its entertainment merits, the film will also educate the viewer on some basics of quantum physics and mainly time.



Make-up and wardrobe will be done by Stacey Peterson from ”Jerseylicious”, “Bridezillas” and the “Rachael Ray” show. Director of Photography: Gabriel Rodriguez; Sound: Aaron Miller. Production Manager Patrick Henry Phelan. This film is brought to you by Mattioli Productions, Isle Empire Picture, Phobos Film Works, and Pantera Productions.

Angela Bowie's New York City Book Signing and Celebration

ANGELA BOWIE SIGNS A DEAL TO PUBLISH “LIPSTICK LEGENDS”

The New York City Signing and after party celebration is at Soho's hotspot "Lair" Friday night hosted by actor Keith Collins. Those who make it past the velvet ropes will be able to meet, greet and purchase Bowie's new book "Lipstick Legends" which has been making waves around the US.

Rock’s Legendary Angie Shares Her Past and Interviews Glam Rock Legends
Alice Cooper, Kim Fowley, Cherry Vanilla, and Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple

Actress, singer, author Angela Bowie has just signed a publication contract for Lipstick Legends, her time machine voyage to the era of the 1970s when Glam Rock was all the rage. Drawing upon memories of her experiences with ex-husband David Bowie, Angie uses her own life as a vantage point from which to interview the likes of Alice Cooper, producer Kim Fowley, Warhol legend Cherry Vanilla, Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Chris Robison of The New York Dolls, author Mark Bego, musician Chick Cashman, legendary journalist Mary Finnegan, and David Bowie’s mime teacher and mentor Lindsay Kemp.
According to Angela, “Lipstick Legends are people who pushed the envelope, and helped redefine the sexual mores of the 1970s. They were people, like myself, who lived during most indulgent and vibrant decade of the Twentieth Century. I am thrilled to share the spotlight of Lipstick Legends with such a glittering cast of characters. It’s a little bit beautiful, a whole lot brassy!”
Drawing upon her years as a writer and performer, Angela takes the reader into the room with her in a way that is conversational and informative, and channels an entire era.
“Are you a “Lipstick Legend?” asks Ms. Bowie. “I bet you are. Did you dance all night and party until breakfast, front a band, and get all dragged up? Did you march and protest, fall in love, or swoon at David Bowie shows? Are you threatening to relive the exhilarating panic times of Glam Rock, and the squealing tires of adrenaline entertainment? Were you there with me on the dancefloor of the Sombrero in London? I bet you were! Were you with me those six nights of sold-out concerts at Universal Amphitheater? Wherever you were, come with me and relive those gay old days. Plunge into that pool of ecstasy with me one more time.” If you are looking for something different, Lipstick Legends is it.
Lipstick Legends is available now by Publish America, and will be available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com globally.
Angela Bowie has recently penned articles in British magazines Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, on the internet magazine Frock, and she is the author of three previously published books: Free Spirit (1982), Backstage Passes (1993), and The Pocket Guide to Bisexuality. She has recently relocated from Tucson to Atlanta.
