Wake Up with KC

The Film Effect Podcast first started in early February 2021 by Ed Snyder, who co-hosted another film review show in 2020 with his teenage daughter Madilyn called Mad-Dad Movie Review. Ed had been wanting to do a second show so he could discuss films that he knew Madilyn wouldn't want to watch (let alone talk about for an hour afterwards), so he started this show a little later after Mad-Dad went on hiatus.

Originally he hosted the show solo. In fact, the first handful of episodes are just Ed for the duration. A little over a month after the premiere of the first episode (which was on True Romance), Ed brought in one of his best friends Sean Elliott and the two have been co-hosting the show together ever since (starting with the Heat episode). Every week the two select a movie to discuss from beginning to end, along with other things about the movie with the help of various categories that help with the flow of each episode. On top of that, the two usually discuss current events & other movie news for the first 15-20 minutes of each show (as well as offer movie recommendations from each co-host).

So if you like movies & movie podcasts, then you've come to the right place..

This is The Film Effect Podcast, where we take all things film to the full effect!!

Christen Stovall is an avid reader and lover of fantasy. She began storytelling at a young age but never considered writing until she was an adult.

  In 2008 Christen married her first love, Dustin. Sadly, just a year and a half later, Dustin ended his life. At 28 Christen was a widow, alone, and struggling to find meaning in her brief time as Dustin's wife. In her sorrow she turned to fantasy.

  Five years later, Christen published her first novel, Soulbound, as a tribute to her late husband. Through the Song of Souls Trilogy Christen has found healing and purpose. Her greatest hope is that her books can provide a long lasting legacy for Dustin.

How do you overcome a horrific experience like Ashley? She shares her story and message with us today! So proud of Ashley and she is an amazing being helping others as well!

 Ashley Michelle has gone through things that she wouldn’t want anyone else to go through, including being assaulted and not only being a witness to a murder scene where her ex-boyfriend had just killed someone she knew of, but he locked the door behind her and told her she was next.Thankfully she escaped, but, from that moment, her life has been filled with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Instead of this taking over her life, she chose to talk about what happened to her, but more importantly, about her healing process so she can inspire people to change their lives after going through their own tough times. she wants someone to look at her and say, because of you, I didn't give up!

Michael shares his life story and his passion and transformation with us!

At the tender age of just seventeen, Michael enlisted in the United States Army. He served two years as an enlisted man before being chosen to become an officer, receiving his commission in June of 1967. After Ranger leadership and patrol training, followed by Jungle Training with the Special Forces in Panama, he was sent to Vietnam as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader where he joined his new platoon during the heat of battle. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart for being wounded in action.

After the war he found refuge in acting and writing as an escape from his own demons and the fog of war. He is now an award-winning playwright having won First Place at the Smithfield One Act Play Festival and his plays have been featured in many locations in the U.S. as well as internationally. His very emotional play (Think Twice) about homelessness, was the second most read play on the internet and was produced by the Durban University Theater in Durban, South Africa.

Michael was once referred to as one of the lost veterans when he drifted into the mountains of Blue Lake, California, and lived alone in a trailer with his dogs. This is where he started the catharsis of writing, to expel all of the horrors he had experienced, and in his work are many of the truths he had to endure.

Michael was a part of the creative input and development of Vietnam War Stories, one of HBO's first successful mini-series.

He is also proud to say that he was invited to dance in the Circle of Warriors, and is an honorary member of both the Shoshone and Nez Perce Indian Tribes. He learned many things from his native brother warriors. The one thing that he cherishes most of all is learning to walk the Red Road in harmony with all living things.

In his latest work, A Soldier's Final Act, he also brings us closer to the alarming suicide rates of our Veterans. We are all familiar with the tragic statistics but very few of us actually know of one of these troubled souls.

A SOLDIER'S FINAL ACT

Synopsis:

In the past year more than twenty veterans a day ended their own lives. Suicide has also been the second highest reason for adolescent deaths.

Our story begins with a troubled veteran in a hotel room. He is seeking help from the VA and is distraught and at his end. He is carrying ghosts that will not let him be at peace. He ends up taking his own life.

We then find a family of three who are in the same room having difficulties of their own. The girl is 16 and goth. They are staying at the hotel due to their son who has been injured in a football accident. The father has never approved of his young daughter’s lifestyle or choices. The mother tends to side with the father which leads to arguments between the three of them. The father, disgusted, eventually leaves the room. The mother soon follows but has taken a pill from her purse. The daughter noticed the pills and is about to take her own life when the spirit of the veteran reappears. The girl senses a spirit close. The spirit sees her and what she is about to do. The dialogue between the two convinces the young girl that suicide is not the answer which leads to a reconciliation for the family.

In saving the young girl the veteran has redeemed himself and is transported into a bright light.

A VISION AT THE END OF THE ROAD

Here I am at last. So many miles and so many battles. From the bloody fields of battle in a war to the battles I have had to fight in my own psyche.

My emotions are overwhelming as I walk along the vast corn fields. I am crying and I begin running. I run for about a mile until I can see the final crossroads. I stop and stand on the corner for a minute listening to the crows and the wind as it gently breezes through the cornfields.

It is a sunny day as I walk slowly down the road. In the distance, I can see the old farmhouse materializing like a mirage growing in the desert. And then, my heart is overwhelmed as I see them. Two shirtless and dark tanned little blond-haired children playing in the yard. It is my daughter, Kelly, and my first-born son, Michael. I can see their dark bodies and their blond hair shining brightly from the sun. "Is that them? Could that be my children? Look at how beautiful they are." I think to myself. They are laughing and playing and my heart is filled with joy as they run to me hollering; "Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Authors's note:

The most honorable duty I ever received was to lead American soldiers into combat. The second most honorable duty was my appointment as OIC of Funeral Detail at Fort Benning, Georgia, burying our fallen heroes. Now it is my personal duty to lead our veterans back home, to themselves, to hold their heads high and never forget the pride.
