The web-series was a hit, yet as with many things, life got in the way. Now, a decade later the series is back by popular demand. As most know, Mosley and Saint Victor joined B&B as Maya and Carter in January 2013, and although their characters crossed paths romantically, they were never married. Now, the actors feel they have more to bring to Robert and Denise’s story. Joining them in the endeavor are co-directors Tina Huang (Rizzoli & Isles, Linda, General Hospital, Josie, Days of our Lives) and Malcolm Barrett (The Hurt Locker), as well as producer/newlywed Tricia Levesque (Withdrawal). Several other of their famous friends make appearances as well on the series thats being called "Really Funny," "Comic and chemistry magic," and "Amazing use of these talented actors."
On the soap opera Guiding Light, they fell in love, or at least their characters did. On the Bold and The Beautiful, They somewhat lived separate lives with separate loves. However, off screen the two talented actors were creating a love story for themselves, but not in the way you were thinking. Knowing the on screen chemistry was real, Lawrence Saint Victor and Karla Mosley decided to create something on their own. What they came up with was the comedy Wed-Locked. Wed-Locked originally debuted back in 2009 when Mosley and Saint Victor played Guiding Light’s Christine and Remy. At the time, as well as playing a married couple on the soap opera, Saint Victor had been married for three years and Mosley was about to wed. The duo wanted to explore the realities of being newlyweds from the perspective of people of color. The series chronicled the ups and downs in the lives of the newly married Robert (Saint Victor) and Denise (Mosley).

THE BEAUTIFUL AND BOLD WORLD OF WED-LOCKED
Lawrence Saint Victor and Karla Mosley
A KILLER SERIES COMES TO ON!
The premise is simple. A highly skilled assassin goes rogue when she encounters her high school crush entering the scene during one of her missions. As one might predict, they run this throws Agent Nine complete off the rails and causes her to do something she has never done before...break protocol. This is where the magic of the series begins? They could have gone a lot of ways with the story from this point, however, even though we find ourselves enjoying some comedic moments, instead of making this a romp comedy about missed connections (which don’t get me wrong, is fun as heck), Rebecca Gold turns left and goes dark. The series is a lot of fun. Rebecca Gold is filled with geek jokes (from Star Wars to Hitchhiker’s Guide and everything in between) and the action scenes are well done and believable. Let's just say that the girl can kicks ass...and the ending … Check it out for yourself and I'm sure you will be dying for more. WATCH SEASON 1 NOW!

Season one of The Pride Wives of Dallas was filled with all kinds of juicy drama. From infidelity accusations, to family acceptance drama, to insemination and pregnancy issues to the return to Dallas of a person guaranteed to add drama to the life of one of the cast members.

April 21 the cast returns for for what may be the most explosive episode yet A reality show staple, The Reunion Episode, has been known to be filled with shade and tea beyond what you see all during the season, and this is definitely true for The Pride Wives. According to producers and cast, secrets will be revealed, Lies will be uncovered, and more tea will be spilled than what you'd find in a SoHo Tea shop.
Pride Wives of Dallas return to share all the tea from season 1
A 22-year-old woman contacted The ON! Channel, to explain how one of its series/shows, "Pride Wives of Dallas", had literally saved her life. "I was planning on killing myself this week," said the woman who wished to remain anonymous. She continued, "Since coming out, I've lost almost everyone that had meant anything to me. My parents won't talk to me and my closest friends seem to be afraid to be seen with me. I thought I'd have all their love and support, but as it turns out, being LGBTQ still comes with a stigma that they couldn't handle. I was ready but while building the courage, I came across The Pride Wives Round Table episode. After watching it, I couldn't go through with it. I wanted to live and they made me feel like like I could." Founder of The ON! Channel said the call shook him deeply, but made him happy that the show had saved the young lady's life. "Tracy Woodburry Chester and Angela C. Chester, Executive Producers of The Pride Wives of Dallas knew what they were creating when they and their team created Pride Wives of Dallas. They knew that this show would touch lives and maybe even save some...and for at least one person, that's exactly what it did.
The movie industry can be a tough place, however it was once said that “Talent cannot be stifled”. This is completely true when it comes to the talented Tina Jetter. Born and raised in Connecticut, twenty year old Tina Jetter has been an accomplished actress since the age of four. Today, understanding the workings of the Hollywood machine, Tina Jetter isn’t waiting for a nod from the powers that be, she is making a place for herself through her art...and doing it her way. Tina is a prolific writer and director and producer with several projects in various stages of production including an animated film. She believes that wearing many hats is beneficial in contributing to her versatility as an artist. Ms. Jetter’s amazing body of work includes the film Murder, about a beloved father whom is murdered and the search to find his killer, The News, a film about a couple that has to share life changing secrets with each other, the heart tugging film Bad Judgments, Coming Out, A Sub In The Brick City, 911 Gun Violence, Just Say No, North Housing Authority with 4 time award winner Crystal Deniro, and Supposition by Tony James (to be released December 14) Her most dramatic works are the films Am I Crazy, inspired by the work of filmmaker Andres Muschietti, about a young woman dealing with the mental ravages of schizophrenia and manipulation. As well as the Maurice W film Candle In The Wind, about a girl abducted by a serial teen rapist and murderer. When told that there are no roles for women especially woman of color, Tina Jetter responds by saying that the roles are there but you have to vigorously search them out, however if you can’tfind them, create your own. She truly believes that “...there is a better future for women in the movie business.” People are starting to take notice as Ms. Jetter has been interviewed by and featured in several magazines including CineWoman and Performing Arts Magazine. Tina is gearing up to be a force in the industry. Many predict she could become the next Shonda Rhimes.

To me, this is one of if not the best fan film made. The acting is on par with any Hollywood Produced film. The action is sick with some of the best choreography you will see anywhere. Even the costumes are top notch. Actually they are better than most big budget takes on the characters. So much good in this series including the fact that unlike most Batman Universe stories, Batman is no where to be found. This is all about Thr Red hood and again the action and story do not disappoint. Neither does the darkness. This is not your bright colored witty superhero movie, and thank the Bat Gods for that. This film was produced only out of the gracious pockets of the director himself, Toby Bajrovic and it was all shot in Perth, Western Australia. Actor, Simon Arblaster plays Jason Todd/Red Hood in this 23 minute fan fiction movie.
Red Hood, the Fallen is written and directed by Toby Barjovic and like all DC Comics is filled with action and suspense. Following the Death of Batman, a new vigilante hits Gotham, hellbent on fulfilling redemption over a classic enemy.
I must admit that I am a huge comic book fan and more so a fan of the Batman universe (no offense Marvel) Of all of the comic book characters , I do believe that the Batman universe is the best hero universe DC has pumped out. I know , I know...Batman is probably the most used and abused DC super hero, next to Superman, that Hollywood has had the pleasure of ruining… time and time again. The role of Batman has been played by no less than 8 actors on TV/Film (and let’s not talk about the voice actors). As cool a character as Batman is, What about Night Wing? or, even better, the awesome anti-hero, Red Hood? For those that don't know Jason Todd, The Red Hood, became robin after Dick Grayson Grew up to become Night Wing. He was later Killed by the Joker, only for readers to discover he was brought back to life after being submerged in the Lazurus Pits. (Trust me it would take too long to explain that). Why has Hollywood ignored these cool and interesting story lines? Why can’t they just follow a Robin story line for once? Well, forget Hollywood! That’s why we have fans! And these DC fans don’t disappoint with their fan film all about the Red Hood.

Beautiez & Bikerz comes to this month
Watch anytime on-demand
Beautiez & Bikerz: the TV Reality Show that shines the limelight on Female Bikers Doc Honeycutt, Medical Practitioner and community leader focused on the holistic wellbeing and development of her community, brings her TV reality show Beautiez & Bikerz to ON!. This reality show deconstructs the traditional masculinist biker image intending to show that pink and pretty can be tough too. After promoting the rights of women and children for over a decade through different mediums like the Tots for Toys drives and more, Doc Honeycutt has produced a TV reality show that showcase the lives of the biker diva and their impact on the community. The Tots for Toys engaged in providing toys for all children in the community during Christmas as part their no child left behind campaign. The fact that women can transform pain into something positive through a common hobby is inspiring and something worth celebrating. According to Doc Honeycutt, author and executive producer of the reality show the intrigue lies in the challenges surmounted by the group. To her, “We love the idea that we are showcasing a harsh reality, what brings us together and sometimes threaten to tear us apart, but in the end it makes us stronger”. Biking is an iconic American tradition that has been promoted by men for centuries while women were more contented to ride behind their men. This initiative is therefore daring as it brings together strong women united in their desire to hit the open road on power bikes. Commenting on some of the characters of the group; Doc Honeycutt describes ‘the real Charlotte Monroe’ as the ‘biggest character in the group’, while ‘myself and Chirl Girl are the peacemakers in the group’. The designated troublemakers are , Babee Mama and Genesis. These tough women are mothers, sisters, spouses, with challenging jobs who have battled excruciating agonies like cancer and more, yet, they are still exuding a joy for life that is commendable. The importance of biking for these divas lie essentially in the freedom that the open road offers plus: • Showcasing an image of strong positive women who are valuable role models. • Inspiring women to love themselves and break barriers. • Promoting a sisterhood of love and mutual support. Doc Honeycutt inherited the love of biking from her mother who was part of the Queen City’s biker scene. Unlike the other ladies who were contented with riding behind their men, this bike babe had her own ride and took her girls along. She’s been riding for twenty years since and is completely addicted. Beautiez and Bikerzis a sum total of this passion which she shares with like minded divas.

PERCEPTIONS Brings an ALL-STAR Cast to ON!
Logline: A couple gets caught in the middle of a crossfire between masked men arguing between justice and “tradition.” Perceptionis a short film that takes a raw and honest look into the heartbeat of our society’s ongoing battle between law enforcement and in large part, black America. The number of young black males killed by U.S. police is at the highest point ever in our country’s history. Despite making up only 2% of the total US population, African American males between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised more than 15% of all deaths logged this year by an ongoing investigation into the use of deadly force by police. Their rate of police-involved deaths was five times higher than for white men of the same age. As opposed to simply regurgitating more statistics and charts, the creators of Perception felt it their duty and obligation to bring a very uncomfortable light to such a dark sore in our culture. Perception doesn’t just highlight the problem, this film looks to spark conversation, action and change. Yes, art imitates life, but Perception looks to use this art to influence new direction Directed by Charles Jones, written by Chad Quinn, produced by Dale Stelly, DoP Dana Rice - featuring Charles Malik Whitfield, Malinda Williams, Omarr Salgado, Vida Guerra, Fernando Chien, Alimi Ballard, Wendy Davis, Terrell Tilford, Edward Fordham, CIsco Reyes and Nelcie Souffrant.
