GENE WARREN, JR.

     My experience in the motion picture, television and commercial world began in 1962 at 21 years of age.  It was a one day construction job as a permit in the grip department on the I Love Lucy set at Desilu Studios.  I didn’t work again for 3 months.  Then it was a few days here, a month there, a couple of weeks at Warner Bros. then a month at MGM etc., for about 2 years until I earned union seniority while on the night shift at Columbia Pictures and was immediately bumped up to a day staff job as the number 8 crab dolly operator on the lot.  The youngest dolly grip staffer at the time in Hollywood I might add.  As a consequence I worked at least a few days on almost every feature and TV show  produced on the lot from mid 1964 until January 1969.  It was the old studio system and I was never laid off. 

     The reason I mentioned at length my early days as a grip and dolly/crane operator was because the dolly job most often positions you in the middle of the on set discussions between the Director, DP and the actors.  There was no school like it.  And since I was interested in my craft and film making in general I always paid attention and listened in.  A few examples of films and TV that I worked on most or all of principal photography in those years were; Walk Don’t Run, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, Murderers Row, Enter Laughing, Three On A Couch,  Trouble With Angels, Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round and the Monkees TV show.

     In 1969, not wanting to remain in the grip department the rest of my life, I left the steady job and began working off and on at my fathers visual effects company, Excelcior Animated Motion Pictures.  It was one of the few small effects companys in Hollywood before Star Wars changed everything.  The animation done at Excelcior was stop motion and it turned out that I had a natural talent and worked on and animated many Dough Boy, Hamburger Helper, Swiss Miss and Chuck Wagon commercials during the almost 12 years I worked at Excelcior.  We also produced the miniature work and dinosaur stop motion for the Saturday morning children’s show Land Of The Lost.  Also the miniature effects work for the TV series The Man From Atlantis, the Roger Corman film Avalanche and John Frankenheimers Black Sunday.

     Thru the hands on work I became an accomplished cinematographer, model maker, sculptor and stop motion animator.  I also helped break down scripts and plan how to do the effects.  Since my fathers studio did not have an optical printer until the last 2 years before he closed, we would try and do as much as possible in camera.

     Excelsior was closed in 1979 and I and two partners, Leslie Huntley and Peter Kleinow opened Fantasy II film effects in 1980.  We now had an optical department but continued to do as much work in camera as we could.  Both because it was usually more cost effective and tended to look better.  I believe that even today, in the digital age, the above holds true. 

     I, and my partners received an Emmy for visual effects in the mini series Winds of War in 1983.  Then in 1991 I received an Oscar for Terminator II Judgement Day.  The last significant miniature work I was involved in was Wes Anderson’s Moorise Kingdom.

     I still think there is a place for in camera effects of all kinds and my years of experience actually doing them would greatly aid students in USC’s film school.  Whether one wants a career in directing, producing, production design or cinematography, a thorough appreciation of the myriad techniques available, can only help develop a more well rounded filmmaker.  The choice of one method over another can affect both quality and the budget.

Frank is a New Jersey residence and has been attracted to the paranormal since a young age. His first opportunity to begin investigating the paranormal was under the guidance of Nancy Tursi and the now defunct Double Visions Paranormal Group located out of Palmyra, NJ. Dedicated and desiring to learn more, in early 2009 Frank founded and currently is the director of NJROPE, which operates throughout New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware. NJROPE currently consists of approximately 30 members, all of whom share his desire to learn about the paranormal world, but more importantly to assist people who are having paranormal experiences in understanding and dealing with their given situations.

He has written several classes, which are part of the intense NJROPE training process, with variations offered to NJROPE clients and the public through lectures intended to increase education and awareness about the subject. Frank has completed over 300 paranormal investigations and consulted for dozens more. Frank has recently founded and is the owner of the Online store, NJROPE Depot. The store has been created to provide assistance to clients of NJROPE, NJROPE sister groups and the public with building and maintaining a positive environment.

Judy Carroll was born in Queensland, AU, in 1952. Her family background is Creole, English, and Romany (Gypsy). She left school to become a professional Flamenco dancer, following in the footsteps of her grandmother, who was a dancer and clairvoyant medium in the Romany tradition. Judy feels that this background helped her to assimilate the encounters she's had with Grey ETs since early childhood. Sixty years of these ongoing and at times fully conscious encounters has given her a deep insight into this phenomenon that is happening to many thousands of people world-wide.

The ET Visitors advised her to meditate so as to facilitate easier telepathic communication, and to study Tai Chi and natural healing. In 2011, Judy attended a meeting on an ET ship that involved a discussion on the past and present situation on Earth, including the hijacking of the planet many millennia ago. In light of this, she wrote a book on the ET history of Earth, the hijacking of the planet by a rebel force and the subsequent manipulation of scriptural accounts of events that took place in the distant past.

She has written three books; Human by day, Zeta by Night, the Zeta Message, and her new book which is just out, The Extraterrestrial Message.

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!

"Is it possible to walk with one foot in the “seen” and the other in the “unseen”? I sure hope so, because I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m doing! I like to think of myself as an “ordinary” woman, living an extraordinary life."

As the character “Kerry”; I am a mother of three, a wife of one, a seeker of truth, and a lover of things seen and unseen. I am the writer, director, and star of my very own movie. (It’s fun to think that somewhere in the multiverse, there are beings eating their versions of popcorn, watching movies starring us!)

I have been trying to fit the puzzle pieces together since I was a young child; this is a trait that has fueled my curiosity in ways I couldn’t begin to imagine!  A few years ago I began asking questions that appeared to infuriate folks. It seemed the more I asked, the more divided people became. Was it me or the times we’re living in? I began seeing agendas everywhere I turned, and they weren’t benevolent. It became clear that there was an underbelly to this world we live in....  

One particularly grand “a-ha” moment was born from the realization that the information we are constantly bombarded with sits in my very own living room: my TV! At the risk of sounding paranoid, I couldn't help but feel that most of the underlying messages were those of fear! How does one NOT subconsciously tune their frequency to the fear channel?  For me, my fear-frequency tuned to the cancer station. According to our media, it was just a matter of time before it was my turn in the oncologists chair. Oddly (a-hem) enough, I did in fact get cancer. 

I’m happy to report that this little blip was just the wake up call I needed to get me steered in the right direction! This served as the opening to the communication with my guides or “team” as I like to call them. Once this happened, there was no looking back. My world opened up in ways I could never have begun to imagine! It was as if I’d hung the “open for business” sign in the window! 

Interestingly, the spiritual components to my life were there all along, I just didn’t recognize them. For example, I’ve seen spirits my entire life... I’ve channeled my entire life.... I’ve seen timelines and dimensions my entire life. I just didn’t know what I was seeing. It took three encounters with recently crossed spirits, a moment with James Van Praagh, and a wild message (from Spirit) in my kitchen cabinet, for me to “get it”. 

Now that I “have it”... what do I “do” with it? 

For starters, I have an online show Alice Eats the Apple The show was created with the intent of ‘normalizing” the metaphysical. I love to joke (not really, it happens more times than you’d think!) that we may be sitting in our mom-cars, waiting in the carpool line, working on our astral traveling skills!  I'm also just beginning my blog.

I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a room-mom. I am a coach. I am an energetic frequency holder. I am a grid anchor. I am a soul path recalibrator. I am an infinite being. I am here to remind you that you are, too.
