Mighty Grip Inc. and MercVille Productions Release Second Season of ‘The Pole Dancing Chronicles’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Christina Villegas and Jeff Mercer, the creative forces behind MercVille Productions, have announced the release of the second season of their popular web based docu-series, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles." Sponsored and co-produced by Mighty Grip Inc., a leading worldwide sporting goods manufacturer, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" showcases people and events from within the pole and aerial community.

With the growing recognition of pole dance and aerial art as respected fitness regimens, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles," provides an insider's peek into the sport and the people behind it, highlighting, in particular, men and women who are defying societal expectations and are excelling within the field.

The second season launched with an episode on 56-year-old pole artist Makeda Smith. A grandmother and entertainment publicist, Smith has garnered international media attention for her poling acumen at her advanced age. The second episode of season two covers "Chronicles" producer Villegas and details her love for the art as well as her intention and motivation to create and produce "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" with her partner Mercer. Episode three, the most recent feature, highlights acclaimed multi-championship pole performance artist, Nadia Sharif, a former engineer turned dancer and instructor.

Former docu-reality producers for network television, Mercer and Villegas formed MercVille Productions in 2013 with a goal to create entertaining, inspiring, and informative stories about everyday people. A pole and burlesque instructor, Villegas also opened her dance studio, Flying Curves Dance Studio in 2013. After teaching pole dancing and empowerment through movement to women on and off for nine years while also working in reality TV, she decided to combine her love and passion for pole with her passion for video storytelling and production.

When Villegas began producing "Goddesses Empowered: The Show," a live pole and burlesque show, she was inspired by the various tales, trials and tribulations of her students. She felt that the compelling stories of women who had evolved through pole dancing needed a global platform and the idea for "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" was born. Mighty Grip, a wholesale distributor and online sporting goods store, came on board in 2015 and in 2016 the season debuted with eight shows, which were released online monthly.

"We have met so many wonderful and talented people that have opened their arms and hearts to us," expresses Villegas.

"Pole and aerial is an emerging art and is often misunderstood," adds Mercer. "Our series not only introduces a larger audience to the sport, dispelling myths and concerns, but also serves as a tool of empowerment and motivation within the pole and aerial community."

Mighty Grip, Inc. is widely recognized for their popular grip aids for athletes. Stephanie Housel, President and COO of Mighty Grip, Inc., initiated launching the brand into the pole world, universalizing the use of the product among pole and aerial enthusiasts internationally. "We are honored to offer 'The Pole Dancing Chronicles' as an important vehicle for sharing personal stories about the world of pole and aerial dance," cites Housel. "As one of the leading providers of grip aids, gloves, and protective gear for pole and aerial artists, 'The Pole Dancing Chronicles' allows us to stay in touch and in tune with our client base on a personal level. Our customers are real people with real stories, and we are excited to share them with the world."

Season two of "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" consists of 10 episodes released monthly online through to 2018.

Empire Creators Are Under Fire by Prison Author of ‘Empire: Cookie’s Revenge’

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- The creators of the hit television show "Empire" may be facing some hard questions from author Eugene L. Weems, Founder of Celebrity Spotlight Entertainment LLC and author of the blockbuster book "Empire: Cookie's Revenge" (ISBN: 978-1515335917). Weems is claiming Co-Creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong have allegedly based the second season of the "Empire" show on Weems' book and have also "stolen" his idea of creating a spinoff television series about the upbringing of Taraji P. Henson's Cookie Lyon character.

Weems, serving a 20-year sentence in a California prison for armed robbery, is not surprised by the alleged actions of Daniels and Strong. He understands some of the most brilliant people need a little boost to advance their creativity. Weems has been focused on positively impacting the lives of at-risk youth and inmates and has published nearly a dozen books while serving his sentence.

Weems' unconventional spirit motivated him to create "Empire: Cookie's Revenge," dubbed the greatest literary entertainment of the year. It is powerful and exciting. Weems' claims of being robbed of his intellectual property are supported with essential facts. Pick up a copy of "Empire: Cookie's Revenge" from Amazon.com and judge for yourself. The truth is in the words.

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Digital Dailies, the patented technology at the heart of DAX, the leading provider of production workflow and media asset management solutions to the entertainment industry, along with its inventor and DAX, LLC co-founder Josh C. Kline, have been honored by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development.”

Digital Dailies, the patented technology at the heart of DAX, the leading provider of production workflow and media asset management solutions to the entertainment industry, along with its inventor and DAX, LLC co-founder Josh C. Kline, have been honored by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development.

DAX CEO Patrick Macdonald-King said, "Kline's pioneering vision for Digital Dailies and our company's dedication have led the industry's transition to file-based workflow in the cloud. We thank the Television Academy for recognizing the significant role that Digital Dailies play in the television industry. We feel the honor is shared by our many clients, using our technology to make great shows, and by DAX's talented staff who are committed to serving the industry with the best tools and support."

"It's an honor to be recognized by the Television Academy for Digital Dailies which grew out of my passion for innovation and the creative process," said Josh C. Kline, "The proliferation of Digital Dailies throughout the industry, as a tool used by television's top talents, is an amazing and deeply satisfying culmination of our work."

In making the announcement of this year's Emmy(R) Engineering Awardees, the Television Academy identified Digital Dailies(R) as "the impetus for significant television industry change by distributing production dailies and cuts via a web-based, streaming approach. Digital Dailies also has provided content security in the forms of both encryption and watermarking the system. This was rapidly adopted due to its secure, fast, reliable and low-cost delivery to anyone with an Internet connection, over which shots can be approved and annotated with frame-accurate comments. Having launched in the era of film, Digital Dailies(R) has bridged the gap to today's file-based workflows through its advanced metadata processing that enabled a clip-based paradigm."

The Engineering Emmy(R) marks DAX's second recognition this year, following the StudioDaily Prime Award at 2013 NAB. TV shows using Digital Dailies(R) and DAX racked up 53 nominations and 9 wins at the 2013 Primetime Emmys(R).

A R T I C L E:

Cable giant Time Warner, with the recent acquisition of Insight Communications, now controls 90 percent of the cable viewing market in Columbus, Ohio. However, according to the Minority Media Community Collaborative (MMCC) it lacks local African American and other minority media programming. The MMCC consists of The Columbus NAACP, The Baptist Ministerial Alliance, The Haitian Catholic Coalition of Ohio, The Asian Chamber of Commerce and The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The MMCC says that despite repeated requests Time Warner Cable has steadfastly refused to meet with them to discuss the disparity of local African American and other minority programming.

Noel Williams, President of the Columbus branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP - www.columbusnaacp.org) says, "This kind of snubbing represents the worst example of corporate arrogance and cultural insensitivity. The issue of equal media participation is of paramount importance to all of our communities."

Joy Kouns, the Asian Chamber of Commerce adds, "Time Warner Cable has a responsibility to provide local programming that meets the needs of a highly diversified Columbus community."

The Reverend Joel King, cousin of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. concludes, "Blatant disregard is not acceptable. We will not be snubbed, disrespected, shut out or ignored. Our voices will be heard."

The Minority Media Community Collaborative has scheduled a press conference to address this issue:
DATE: Wednesday, November 28, 2012.
TIME: from 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
LOCATION: Family Missionary Baptist Church, 996 Oakwood Ave.

Please contact for further information: 614-218-8200 or columbusnaacp1@juno.com.

About NAACP:

The real story of the nation's most significant civil rights organization lies in the hearts and minds of the people who would not stand idly by while the rights of America's darker citizens were denied. From bold investigations of mob brutality, protests of mass murders, segregation and discrimination, to testimony before congressional committees on the vicious tactics used to bar African Americans from the ballot box, it was the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society. While much of NAACP history is chronicled in books, articles, pamphlets and magazines, the true movement lies in the faces - black, white, yellow, red, and brown - united to awaken the consciousness of a people and a nation. The NAACP will remain vigilant in its mission until the promise of America is made real for all Americans More information: www.columbusnaacp.org .
