Hear the story of a news maker and star maker himself, Ben Bryant.

Ben Bryant – Bio

I have been in the production business since my college days. Until 1972 I was a successful actor and singer in theatre, film, the Metropolitan Opera and TV.

In ’70, seeking to exercise my burgeoning interest in film production, I joined the award winning Group One Productions of Hollywood. I quickly developed production skills on a multitude of projects ranging from two-man second-unit shoots to Carole King’s 1974 Central Park concert (12 cameras and a union crew of over 100.)

Until the early ‘90s I worked in film and TV as a producer and first Assistant Director. Based in New York, I’ve served in one or more of those capacities on over 1,000 commercials and dozens of corporate films for clients including ABC-TV, AT&T, Exxon, Ford, GM, IBM, MacDonald’s, Miller Beer, Porsche-Audi, Proctor & Gamble, and Volkswagen. This work was done in more than half the fifty states, Jamaica and Canada. I’ve also worked as production manager or first AD on five theatrical and TV movies.

After years of supporting directors I decided to apply the skills learned from some of the best and, in ’89, began producing and directing a TV show, Love is the Power. Since then I’ve been working solely in video, producing and directing approximately 70 multi-camera TV shows and over 50 live concerts and documentaries. I now take many projects from concept through completion; often writing, producing, directing, shooting and editing.

A member of the Directors’ Guild of America since ’79, I hold a B.A. In theatre and music from Whittier College.

In 2011, inspired by nothing more than idle time, I began what I thought was a short essay on my childhood in Tennessee. I became so engaged in my memories that the next thing I knew it was two weeks later and I had written twenty-five or thirty pages. I realized that I was beginning to write an autobiography.

Three Stages, book one of this memoir, is the story of my first thirty-seven years – from a small Tennessee town to Hollywood and New York. It comprises my adventures at Hollywood High, Whittier College (where I played football under future NFL greats, George Allen and Don Coryell), in the USAF then as an actor and singer.

The book is filled with stories about the bizarre and funny incidents that happened both on and off stage during my fifteen years as a successful working actor and of the great and not-so-great stars I worked with.

During my next twenty years as a producer and AD (First Assistant Director) I often found myself in social situations – both with fellow film professionals and “civilians” – recounting bizarre or otherwise interesting and funny tales of my adventures in production. At least a dozen times someone said, “You should write a book.” I often joked that, due to the nature of my work, should I ever create such a tome it would be titled Circumstances Beyond My Control. Having finished Three Stages, the obvious next step was this volume.

This book comprises the often hilarious, sometimes exciting series of stories about my adventures in the challenging world of film production. These tales will take you on a stimulating journey that will include an amazing variety of film assignments and locations throughout the US and Jamaica.

I’m currently (September 2014) almost finished with the third and last book, Waiting for Elizabeth which picks up my story at age 55 during a rocky personal and professional period as I migrated from producing to becoming a video director and editor.

Jonah was raised in South Florida, USA and at an early age he started to see his talents and creativity blossom. As a child Jonah was always intuitive and driven by an unseen force to progress forward, always helping and guiding others to their destiny. By the age of 12, he already had several pieces of his work published. Poetry, articles, songs & thoughts all seemed to ring truth and take front page. At 13, Jonah rewrote a hit Michael Jackson song into talking about going green. The song itself was so powerful the entire school sang it from kindergarten up.

As he was watching tower one burn the 2nd plane hit the tower shortly after. In 2002 he went to Israel, the first night he arrived he was in Tel Aviv blocks away when the first ever two female suicide bombers struck. The following year Jonah was in London, the bombings happened 2 blocks from his friends work there. One of the only subways he took while visiting him. The next year Jonah arrived in Thailand and was actually on the opposite side of the island when the tsunami hit. Months previous, Jonah had changed his trip from Phuket which was wiped out to KO Sumo.

James Kapicka is best known as "Yoga James" (E-RYT-200).  He is a student of eastern and western psychology and former yoga studio owner. The spiritual path found him through the wisdom teachings of Ram Dass, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Tao te Ching. James then deepened his practice through the physical discipline of yoga, and began to experience more personal power, freedom, and peace in his life. He was soon called to teach others the tools from Vedic wisdom which had transformed him. He has expanded the breath of his teachings, though training in Vinyasa, Forest, Wall, Yin, children’s Kundalini, Embodyoga, and Thai yoga massage at the Old Medicine Hospital in Chaing Mai, Thailand.

In 2010 James met Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma (Mother), and two years later spent time at her ashram in India. There he received his mantra and formal meditation training. In 2011 he took refuge in the 5 Mindfulness Precepts with Zen Master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. The lives and teachings of Jesus the Christ, Paramahansa Yogananda, Eckhart Tolle, Mahatma Gandhi, Byron Katie, and Ramana Maharshi have also philosophically, practically, and spiritually guided and molded James’ evolving practice.

James creates an environment that empowers students to stay in their integrity and trust their intuition. His classes are dynamic, yet mindful and grounding. With focus on connected movement and breath awareness, he encourages students to physically and emotionally play, explore, work, and heal on a personal level. He supports students as they face fears, overcome challenges, and leave their all on the mat. 

Along with teaching group classes and private practices, James offers workshops at studios and festivals all over California with emphasis on yoga philosophy. His yin yoga teacher trainings explore energy work, and meditation practices and are influenced by his work with the Tao te Ching, Paul & Suzee Grilley, and Sarah Powers.

Whether he is traveling, dancing, reading, or absorbed in Nature, James says, “it’s all yoga”. He considers himself to be a constant student, in which he aspires to experience life wholeheartedly, and he encourages students to do the same.

He also creates spiritual and metaphysical music festivals, designed to transform the participant through direct experience.  This coming October 3 - 6, 2014 in Sacramento, CA, he is creating a celebration of spirit aptly named, the Transcendence Festival.

About Doug Newsom

I am also a traveler, excited at new things, enjoying the experience, and living in the moment! I am a reader, writer and poet, with an entrepreneurial, mathematical mind. I love to theorize, think and meditate, but I hope not to miss an opportunity for play!

I am a kind and romantic soul, with a grand zest for life and the desire for exploration. I am humorous and thought provoking with old fashioned manners. I enjoy fine wine, unique cuisine, and conversations about unusual subjects.

I am a spiritual person. I am a true believer in diversity and synergy, and the power of thought! I believe everything ever created has purpose, is perfect, and will change!

I have reached higher levels of consciousness; increasing my capacity to love and be aware in the present; to understand information quickly and to connect to all that is.

I have used meditation to gain i, and I accept people for who they are. But I do not hang around forever! I am too complex, too intelligent, and too quickly bored.

I love to work with my hands; woodworking, landscaping, and just about any home project. I build companies for a living, so it’s no different with other creative outlets, I like to build! When an activity allows me to drift without thinking or stress, like wood working or playing an instrument, it’s a treasure.

My humor is abundant, intense and often dry.

If someone’s emotions are indiscernible to the naked eye, and yet every action they take, or movement they make, is on a comic par with John Cleets – I’m their huckleberry! But, if you’ve stopped laughing at yourself, allow me! I’m still bemused by seeing a lady turn down a polite request to dance! If I find you’ve stubbed your toes, because you over-paid for a trendy pair of shoes, or purchased a size too small to fit, I will laugh! I find that quite funny really!!

If survival depends on scheming, plotting, thinking, and wondering how to guard yourself, get your piece, and do it fast! Don’t make me spank you!

I prefer to hang among those whom Aristotle would have found interesting!

My faults (and this is tough to write about): I sometimes lack patience. I can appear somewhat aloof. I allow others to walk on me at times. I am extremely outgoing, but I rarely do extracurricular activities, perhaps because lately I’ve put too much emphasis into work and not enough into life. I can be stubborn. I am a charmer. I’m self actualized so I often overlook or reluctantly listen to stories of woe. I am just too damn optimistic. I am somewhat old fashioned, and may be  too much of a romantic, because I like to open doors, pull out chairs, and walk on the correct side of a sidewalk. And, whether I can afford it or not, I usually pay the tab!

And I’m the CEO of BBS Radio!

Randy Cramer, known as Captain “Kaye” is a US Marine and Super Soldier who served for 17 years on Mars, defending the Mars colonies.  He was a part of Project Moonshadow and was assigned to the Mars Defense Force from a covert military branch, United States Marine Corps, special section, (USMC s.s.) set up by President Eisenhower as a unit that would uphold moral ethics and hopefully  keep things in check in regards to the activity of MJ-12 and some of their more unscrupulous members.

His story, information and accounts gives us insight into things that other Whistleblowers have been speaking about in relation to Alternative 3 and the establishment of bases on Mars.  Since he has spoken out because his chain of command requested him to do so, he's less of a whistleblower and more of a direct representative of USMC s.s.  He has experiences that take us into an in depth understanding of ET races that are interacting with Earth, covert agendas that are affecting the whole of humanity and information about off-planet military activity that has been kept deep black and that he is now sharing with us.
