Comedy is Important

2013-05-05T12:20:00.001-04:00

HME'S GUIDING PHILOSOPHY FOR COMEDY

Comedy is important because it has the power to heal people. If they are under pressure, laughter relieves the burden of stress on their body. If they are sick, laughter sends a healing signal to their brain’s control center. If they are in despair, laughter hits the switch to reset their state-of-mind. Laughter is a remedy and an escape.

In tough economic times like these, laughter is the highest gift we can provide to the masses as our part of making the world a better place. Making people laugh is a serious business. To hit the mark in a family-friendly way, we’ve got to take it seriously and make excellence our motto.

"Comedy is important for the soul."

Verna’s Safe Zone, Reclusive Creativity and the new HQ

2012-11-12T14:15:00.001-05:00

Verna lives and works in a “safe zone” that is free of harmful chemicals. In 1999, she developed an extreme sensitivity to everyday chemicals... things like newsprint, perfume*, air fresheners, printed flyers and a long list of other common items. The situation can be life-threatening, but as long as she stays within her “safe zone” she enjoys good health and a high-level of functioning.
It’s not all bad news though... it turns out that there is a positive side effect to her reclusive lifestyle. This setting has helped her reach extraordinary levels of creativity. Verna has become an unstoppable source of film concepts and fictional tales. She is in a rare class of writers who can propagate unlimited themes, one after another.
Her long-time business partner attends meetings on her behalf (he is a comic who can be quite entertaining). In all film projects, Verna selects experienced co-creators who are willing to take the lead in a physical setting. This ensures that each production is properly cared for. Her involvement is prolific, but strictly “behind the scenes”.
Plans are underway to create a headquarters in the Toronto region where Verna can safely interact with industry professionals. In addition to the luxurious business lounge, screening room and editing bay, it will be a fun setting that includes a variety of recreational assets (such as arcade, basketball courts, pro-athlete’s gym, pool house, guest cabins, and more). As soon as the capital funds are in place, this work/play environment will be accessible to business associates.

* It’s quite ironic that perfume is a threat to Verna’s health now. Back in 1988, she named her daughter Chanèle, based on CHANEL, her favorite design house and fragrance.

CLOUD ATLAS Extended Trailer w Intro [video]

2012-08-02T09:57:00.000-04:00

This movie looks really interesting...

There were 3 Directors on the project and here's an introduction from them...

Directors trio Tom Tykwer & Lana Wachowski & Andy Wachowski talk 'Cloud Atlas'

Watch the extended movie trailer right here…

ENTV ››› The official trailer for The Watchowskis' "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry & Hugo Weaving. The unifying concept between the six separate stories that makes up Cloud Atlas is that each features the same souls, reincarnated throughout the ages (played by the same actors and actresses). We also see Doona Bae (The Host) as a human clone from the future, whose sense of individuality puts her at risk, Hugh Grant reappearing throughout the ages as "incredibly evil" people, including a vicious cannibal and Susan Sarandon as the (eternally unobtainable) object of Broadbent's affections. ‹‹‹ source: ENTV

Kudos for Premiere of “8” in L.A.

2012-03-04T14:48:00.001-05:00

Thanks to a live stream on YouTube, last night I watched a play premiering in Los Angeles as it was happening. The star studded cast created a memorable experience. I, for one, was enlightened by the play and will add my voice to the fight for marriage equality.

All of the performers did a wonderful job but it was especially amusing to see Brad Pitt as the judge - he was his usual dapper and mesmerizing self. (What a great casting choice because – even in a room full of stars - he would have been too distracting anywhere else on the stage). John C. Reilly gave a stellar performance (bringing much needed laughs to a serious courtroom setting) and Martin Sheen delivered a brilliant, impassioned portrayal that left me speechless.
Director/Producer, Rob Reiner made seasoned casting choices that really pulled it together. You can read more about the play and its participants in the Daily Reporter: West Coast Premiere of Marriage-Rights Play

The Great Illusion

2012-02-25T18:00:00.000-05:00

The Great Illusion…
It is the “ILLUSION of satisfaction” that compels us to chase things in life… the ILLUSION of what we THINK will happen to us when we reach that target. But in fact, the things we chase are not likely to be the same things that give us true satisfaction.

BRAD PITT hits a home run with Moneyball

2012-01-08T17:00:00.001-05:00

2012 PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Brad Pitt is being honored with the Desert Palm Achievement Actor Award at the Film Festival for his work in MONEYBALL and Tree of Life. The star-studded event, which runs Jan. 5-16, will also honor Pitt’s Tree of Life co-star Jessica Chastain with the Spotlight Award. [source]

Photo Gallery from 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival by USAtoday.com

Brad Pitt relied on the use of a cane all evening due a recent ski injury. On the subject of Brad being honored with the Festival's Desert Palm Achievement Award, good friend George Clooney accused Pitt of courting the "sympathy vote." … but that was all in fun because Clooney himself would go on to win the festival's Chairman's Award for his work in 'The Ides of March' and 'The Descendants.' [source]

List of 2012 Nominations for the Golden Globe Awards on (Winners announced January 15, 2012)

Moneyball is also being nominated for 4 Golden Globe Awards, including “best motion picture” … “best performance” (for Brad) … and “best performance in a supporting role” for Jonah Hill.

Photo Gallery: Behind the Scenes of ‘Moneyball’ with Brad Pitt

The interesting thing about all these awards and nominations is that MONEYBALL almost never existed! After 5 years of development, months of preproduction and $10M already invested, the execs at Sony Pictures pulled the plug on the project.

MORALITY – New Screenplay Available

2012-01-05T10:04:00.001-05:00

Introducing MORALITY, the screenplay by Matt Hazel

“MORALITY” is a psychological thriller that delves into the realm of personal morals and sin. It combines the mystery and seat-gripping action of “SEVEN” with the chilling, mind-numbing fear of the unknown assailant as in “PHONEBOOTH” or “BURIED”.
“MORALITY” follows the lives of seemingly random unrelated individuals, as they are systematically hunted and eventually abducted. This ends with the abduction of Dr. Philip Moore, an eminent scholar, who wakes up locked in a strange circular room, the unwilling pawn in a sadistic game.
Prodded along by only his captor’s voice, he is forced into the unenviable task of deciding the fate of the other abducted individuals. Based on his own set of morals, he is given the power to offer the others, either salvation or death.
This culminates in a highly personal ordeal for Dr. Moore as his own relatives appear to face judgement one against the other. Even the good doctor himself is not spared from moral scrutiny as he is compelled to fight for his own life. The movie ends with a twist that will leave the audience speechless.

Screenwriter: Matt Hazel
Genre: Psychological-Thriller
Status: Screenplay available for purchase and/or options
Bonus: Casting recommendations included (professional digital report complete with photos and links)

She is a strong advocate against intolerance and her goal is to get bullying legally recognized as a hate-crime. Kudos to you Lady Gaga. Good on you!

SUDDENLY MONEY – Plot Introduced

2012-01-04T13:04:00.001-05:00

MOVIE PLOT

Calvin Bloom and Jack Vega are a team of struggling scientists with their own small research firm, Bloom & Vega Laboratories. These guys are too honest for their own good! Unwilling to fudge reports for their corporate clients, they have a tough time making enough money and just can’t pay the bills most months. Life is hard and they get pushed around a lot.
Then one day, they discover the cure against visual aging and the tides of their fortune shift dramatically. Doing away with the need for cosmetic surgery, the duo become heroes to the Hollywood crowd and movie stars begin to invite them to A-List parties. They start rolling in the dough and every pharmaceutical company courts them aggressively for the formula. Some even try to steal it!
Everything should be great. But sudden fame and riches are not all they’re cracked up to be. The perils of wealth and stardom soon overwhelm this clumsy pair and they get creative about having a simpler life.

QUOTES by VERNA LANE

Comedy is important for the soul.

Perception alters reality. When the mind changes, EVERYTHING changes.

Life is nothing if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing.

FAMOUS LINEAGE

Verna’s French Canadian ancestry traces back to 1578 Canadian Settlers from Montpellier, France. She is directly related to Madonna as 7th cousins, Hillary Clinton as 9th cousins and Celine Dion as 10th cousins.

Through this same lineage (bloodline) she is also related to Angelina Jolie, Alanis Morrisette and the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla, wife of England’s Prince Charles).

This might explain why Verna is such a trailblazer... she comes from a hardy stock of pioneering women who thrive on innovation and breaking the rules!!
