Come Enjoy the Vice is Nice Charity Event to Help Animal Rescues in Need

July 24th, 2013

CEO

The 4th Annual VICE IS NICE Event is being held on Saturday, July 27th in Southern California. Hosted by Kelly Holland and Rancho Providencia, VICE IS NICE raises money (and awareness) to help animals in dire need of a home and medical services. Some of Southern California’s biggest animal rescues will be on the receiving end of money raised from the event and sponsorships.

Last year’s fundraiser was such a success it helped open Petopia, a unique adoption center in the Westfield Mall in Woodland Hills, California. “Petopia operates as an alliance of several different dog and cat rescues, and together, these rescues have found great homes for hundreds of animals that would otherwise have been euthanized at local shelters,” says Kelly Holland. “We’d like to continue to support and expand the services Petopia offers by having an even bigger and better event this year.”

Applegate (Mike Baker, JR.) and Lola (Annie Ermlick) hatch their plans.

Seven-time Emmy-winning TV Producer/Host Mike Baker, JR. opens in Damn Yankees at the Alden Theatre in McLean, Virginia on Friday, July 12. The musical runs through Sunday, July 28th. Baker is excited to play the role of “Applegate,” a part he interviewed Jerry Lewis about in 1998 for the BRAVO Cable Network. Baker also interviewed Tony-Winning actress, Bebe Neuwirth, who played “Lola.” These interviews can be seen on National Arts Television.com.

Baker’s enthusiasm for Damn Yankees comes from a boyhood love of sports. Baker made television history in the mid 1980’s and 1990’s by being the first Television Program Director to program 250 college basketball games in a single season before ESPN. Baker also programmed a 34-hour college basketball marathon during NCAA conference weekend. Tony Kornheiser, then with The Washington Post, came out to do a story on Baker. In a stroke of genius, Baker coaxed Kornheiser into going on the air at half-time of one the game broadcasts. Tony’s first response was, “I don’t have a face for television.” Baker responded by saying, “Tony you are the funniest sports columnist in America.

CEO

Sundance Institute today announced that the first-ever NEXT WEEKEND film festival, Aug. 8-11, 2013 at venues throughout Los Angeles, will kick off with an outdoor screening of Chris Smith’s iconic cult documentary American Movie and Mark Borchardt’s horror film Coven Aug. 8 at Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

NEXT WEEKEND – an extension of the popular NEXT <=> section at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah – is a summer film festival presenting four days of screenings, parties and artist programs that celebrate the renegade spirit of independent filmmaking.

Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, “American Movie and Coven exemplify what NEXT is all about – an undying passion to make movies against odds and with unfettered creativity. One of the coolest cinematic venues in Los Angeles, Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the ideal location to launch NEXT WEEKEND and to bring together all the renegade film lovers to be entertained and inspired by these extraordinary classic independent films.”

John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “NEXT WEEKEND was created to not only celebrate the current generation of filmmakers working with NEXT sensibilities, but also to reflect on those films that paved the way.”
