I'm Here With

Like a modern day siren, Rachel lures her listeners in with haunting melodies and a soulful voice. Once entranced, she takes her captives on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guiding them safely through the storms and shipwrecks of life.

There is a saying that, “Stars are made, not born,” and that couldn’t be more true for this actress, singer, dancer.

Talk about a triple threat! Music, dance and acting have always been a part of this starlet’s life. Brought up in the entertain- ment industry, Rachel has grown up around music, theater, film and dance! From the tender age of 3, she has been dancing, eventually becoming a professional hula dancer, competing in the top hula competitions and traveling the world enchanting international audiences.

It was actually thanks to her dancing abilities that she was introduced to the television and film industry. She was asked to dance in commercials for companies like Hawaiian Airlines, in televised parades like Disney World’s Winter Parade, for major televised events like The International Children’s Festival sharing the stage with the Sesame Street Gang and even at major football games like the Pro-Bowl for four years.

All this before she was even thirteen years old! It was around this age that she discovered her gift, passion and love for music! Engrossed with the rhythmic vibes of her culture, this Hawaiian Native began playing the ukulele, eventually writing her own lyrics and melodies.

Though her creativity was heavily influenced by her island home, her taste in music con- trasted the happy and light-hearted sounds of the islands. Instead, she found solace in artists like P!nk, Evanescence and Adele who’s music mirrored the hardships and realities she faced in her own life. Behind the lights, cameras and smiles, Rachel was haunted by traumas and abuses she’d been going through for years.

The award-winning broadcaster and longtime host of CBC's The Current, made headlines last summer when she left the traditional broadcasting space to produce and host her own podcast.

The first episode of More with Anna Maria Tremonti will finally be released on Tuesday, January 28, and listeners will definitely be introduced to a whole new side of her.

Listeners would be interested to learn more about the show - which features some incredible guests and insightful conversations - why she decided to make the switch, and more about Anna Maria in general.

Interview with Vancouver's award winning director, Titus Heckel with his new feature CHAINED.

CHAINED, psychological crime thriller from Vancouver's award winning director, Titus Heckel, to film in Kelowna started Dec 5th.

Telefilm-supported psychological crime thriller, CHAINED, the latest feature film from Vancouver-based award-winning writer and director Titus Heckel, starts filming in Kelowna December 5th, 2019.

CHAINED focuses on Taylor, an abused and bullied 13-year-old and the friendship he forges with Jim, a criminal he discovered chained inside an abandoned warehouse. A violent betrayal between the duo turns the abused into the abuser. With the consequences-and victims of Jim’s crimes closing in, Taylor finds himself in over his head.

Starring Aleks Paunovic (VAN HELSING, SNOWPIERCER) as Jim and rising star Marlon Kazadi (CHILD’S PLAY and the upcoming GHOSTBUSTERS 2020) as Taylor, the film also features Canadian Screen Award winning actor Adrian Holmes (star of 19-2 and the new Netflix series V WARS) as Taylor’s father, Pete.

“We are thrilled to have this immensely talented trio on board to help tell this powerful, provocative story,” says producer Rachelle Chartrand. “With all the service work being done in the province, and country, it is a testament to the brilliance of the script and the complex characters Titus has created that Aleks and Adrian are doing a Canadian indie film at this stage of their illustrious careers. And to discover the young powerhouse, Marlon Kazadi, on the verge of breaking into stardom, is a gift.”

The film has already garnered numerous accolades and secured broadcast deals with Super Channel and Hollywood Suite. Winners of the Telefilm sponsored JETS Program, an international coproduction and pitching competition held during the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival, the screenplay was also a semi-finalist in the 2018 Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting, which is put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

CHAINED, along with producer Rachelle Chartrand, was one of 6 CDN features to be chosen for the Producers Lab at the 2018 Whistler Film Festival. CHAINED received development funding from the highly competitive Harold Greenberg Fund (Bell Media) as well as Creative BC, and is a recipient of 2019 Canada Feature Film Fund from Telefilm.

Titus Heckel’s 2014 directorial debut, WITH CHILD, was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for both the Best World Showcase at the SoHo International Film Festival and the Flash Forward Award at the Busan International Film Festival. Titus is also a multi-award-winning writer.

Lead producer Rachelle Chartrand is an award-winning producer, screenwriter and past-president of Women in Film & Television Vancouver. Rounding out the team is 15-year veteran producer Chester Sit, whose projects have been distributed on APTN, CBC, Super Channel and OMNI Television.

Teresa is the founder of Teresa May Agency and Director of Business Relations and Communications

Teresa opened up Teresa May Agency as she learned about the growth of the filming industry and the need to recruit Principal Actors and Movie Extras. Many people she connects within her large network of friends, business associates, and colleagues have an interest in doing something fun, a little different for a little extra income while learning about the movie industry. As she discovers, there are also many great talents in the Okanagan but they had no representation, there were no talent agencies here at all. It only took some business sense, a lot of connections, a bit of hard work to build the roster of talents. Teresa comes with over 30 years of film industry experience from the East coast to the West, living in Halifax, Vancouver, and California, and working as Background, Commercials, and Model in those days, and combined with her University Education, business experience, marketing skills, and community involvement.
