CHICAGO, /PRNewswire/ — A new female protagonist; the unforgiving pimp hunter, LA Jones. Gutsy investigator LA Jones has made it her business to hunt down low-life pimps. Following the murder of a young woman in Reno, Jones sets her sights on the No. 1 suspect, Luciano “Lucky” Strykes. 

Artillery Network is excited to announce Pimp Killer, the all-new exploit from Afghan-American writer Ghezal Omar

Got pimp problems? Then LA Jones is your woman.

She’s made a nice little business for herself over the last few years: hunting down pimps. Following the murder of a young woman in Reno, she turns her attention to Luciano “Lucky” Strykes, a low-life pimp hiding out in Hollywood. Lucky is notorious for torturing women who try to flee him, and LA is more than willing to dish out her own brand of justice, making this a match made in vengeance.

“While the book is written as a dark action comedy, it tackles a very serious subject,” said series creator Ghezal Omar. “The character of Lucky is notorious for torturing women who try to flee him. I was determined to create a female heroine who was more than willing to serve her own brand of justice.”

Pimp Killer is not Ghezal Omar‘s first foray into the graphic novel fandom of female empowerment. The first Afghan-American graphic novelist, her 2020 graphic novel, .357 Magnum Opus, depicts the dark entanglements of an unflinching woman bounty hunter named Sexx Pistol. 

The limited edition paperback is the first of in a forthcoming series of three, features art by Ayhan Hayrula (X’ed) with a cover by Phillip Ginn (That Fighter Girl: One Night’s Fight).

Pimp Killer continues the graphic novel fandom of female empowerment. For fans of Quentin Tarantino, Darren Aronofsky, and David Lynch, the title is now available for purchase at https://pimpkiller.com.

Documentary Celebrating Veteran-Owned Businesses in Production

“Land of the Brave” is a new documentary film that celebrates the courage, sacrifice, and determination of veteran-owned businesses across the United States. The film highlights the stories of veterans who have transitioned from military service to entrepreneurship, showcasing their resilience, creativity, and commitment to serving their communities.

Documentary Celebrating Veteran-Owned Businesses in Production
Atlanta, GA, -(PR.com)– A new documentary celebrating the contributions of Veteran-owned businesses in Georgia is set to air on streaming platforms by quarter 4 of 2023. The documentary, titled, “Land Of The Brave,” is produced by a team led by Army Veterans and television producers.

The documentary highlights the achievements of several Veteran-owned businesses in Georgia, showcasing their resilience, innovation, and commitment to their communities. The film is anchored by two hosts, one of whom is a decorated Army Veteran who received two Purple Hearts during his service.

According to the documentary’s producers, the goal of the film is to raise awareness about the important role that Veteran-owned businesses play in Georgia’s economy and communities. “We want to honor the service and sacrifice of our fellow Veterans by showcasing the impact they’re making as entrepreneurs and business leaders,” said one Joe Kurtenbach, who is one of the hosts.

The documentary features interviews with several Veteran entrepreneurs who share their stories of overcoming challenges and achieving success in the business world. Viewers will also learn about the resources and support available to Veterans who want to start or grow their own businesses.

“We hope this film inspires other Veterans to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and helps to foster a greater appreciation for the contributions of our Veteran-owned businesses,” said Steven Le Noir, the director.

“Land Of The Brave” is being produced by Black Forest Films, a disabled Veteran-owned production company based out of Ball Ground, GA. Their work has been featured on Netflix, History Channel, Ora TV, The Outdoor Channel, Paramount Network and other platforms.

The documentary is scheduled for a theatrical release in 2023, and will also be available for streaming online. 

Porter+Craig Film & Media Acquires Goldove Entertainment’s Sci-Fi UFO-Themed Thriller Lumina, Which is Poised to Light Up the Big Screen This Summer

Porter+Craig Film & Media continues its winning streak, as it begins its theatrical release campaign for Goldove Entertainment’s hot new sci-fi thriller Lumina.

Porter+Craig Film & Media Acquires Goldove Entertainment’s Sci-Fi UFO-Themed Thriller Lumina, Which is Poised to Light Up the Big Screen This Summer
Los Angeles, CA, (PR.com)– With strong appeal to the same audiences that made chillers like The X-Files, Nope, Independence Day, Cloverfield, Dark Skies, and I Am Number Four into hits, and a custom-built soundtrack by Lumina’s writer/director Gino McKoy – a University of Toronto graduate, athlete, singer-songwriter (who worked with world-renowned musicians and music producers), and now a producer. In his current film and TV career, McKoy’s colorful life story takes him from Trinidad to Toronto to Hollywood – and back to the motherland of Africa.

Lumina is the first Sci-Fi movie to be shot entirely in Morocco, with the largest interior sci-fi sets built in the History of Morocco, Africa which was arranged by the finance executive Lynda McKoy. Filmed in Marrakesh, high Atlas Mountain, Ouarzazate, and other scenic (and rarely-seen) locations, Lumina brings a spectacular experience to the sci-fi action thriller genre. With Canadian producers Gino McKoy, Lynda McKoy, Hudson McKoy and David Seychell joined by Oscar-winning editor Thom Nobel, Lumina’s shoot employed over 500 people and corporations during worst of the COVID lockdowns, when business and employment was shut down.

With Hollywood star Eric Roberts atop a diverse cast of appealing young actors whose international credits range from American indie films and TV favorites to British and European comedies and dramas, and the legitimate theatre, Lumina boasts “star power” in the real sense of the word. The big-budget indie thriller tells the story of Alex (Rupert Lazarus), whose relationship with dream girl Tatiana (Eleanor Williams) ends in a flash – a blinding flash of light that is, when it appears the sky literally opens to swallow her up. Traumatized, obsessed, and desperate (and dismissed as hopelessly mentally ill), Alex sets off with his motley crew of friends and conspiracy theorists to find out what really happened. Off in the desert, Alex and his crew are not only forced to confront the reality of alien life forms, but the extra-terrestrials’ unending appetite to kidnap and “study” human beings – as the group including Andrea Tividar (Delilah), Ken Lawson (George), Emily Hall (Sher), and Sidney Nicole Rogers (Patricia) tries to escape with their lives.

The release is being spearheaded by Porter-Craig Film & Media, which was founded after a merger of Jeff Porter’s successful Beverly Hills sales agency Porter Pictures, as he joined forces with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures former executive Sgt. Major Keith L. Craig, who was part of the team who worked on the execution of the distribution strategy for all of Disney’s film silos including Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Disney Animation Studios. Which includes a multi-billion-dollar portfolio with franchise titles such as Black Panther, The Avengers, and Star Wars. As Executive Producers, Consultants, and Domestic Distributors on Lumina, Sgt. Major Craig & Jeff Porter look forward to strategizing with Goldove Entertainment to optimize the films potential. As Porter+Craig is eager to continue consulting with new filmmakers and expanding inclusionary global partnerships dedicated to catapulting women and minorities in the independent films and television programming worldwide.

Lumina’s diverse cast boast credits from Hollywood to Broadway to London and back, and from avant-garde indies to top TV and movie hits. In addition to Roberts’ countless screen credits, the young cast members have appeared on American favorites like Killing Eve, FBI Most Wanted, Leverage, S.W.A.T. Bulletproof, One Fine Day, Girlfriends, The Scariest Night of Your Life, and classic faves including Moesha, The Parkers, and Chicago Hope. The key British cast members credits read like a Who’s Who of UK and Australian movie and TV hits, including Shakespeare & Hathaway, The Coroner, Requiem, Safe Inside, and TV icon Norman Lear’s Live In Front of a Studio Audience.
