In the intriguing world of KAOS, it's the pantheon of gods versus humans with Zeus at the top of the mythological food chain as the cruel and stylish ruler of the gods, a position he has enjoyed for some time. Then one day he discovers the unthinkable: a wrinkle on his forehead. Paranoia builds, leading the supreme deity down a dangerous and unstable path. All-powerful Zeus is convinced his fall is nigh and sees omens of doom everywhere. Recently audiences saw Shila as Cinder Lumen Firetown's resident matchmaker in Disney & Pixar ELEM ENTAL, utilizing her natural gift that allows her to smell true love in a Fire person's smoke, whether they know it or not.

The heart-pounding "Tehran," which has earned the comparison in the media already of "24" meets "The Americans," is must-watch TV at its finest.

Her mother was a poet and her father was a philanthropist, real estate mogul, and the founder and CEO of Iran's largest construction company, Vima Co. At an early age, Ommi witnessed the wrath of the Islamic regime. Ommi's father was also on their hit list, but her family had the chance to flee the country, leaving behind their wealth and all their belongings to begin a new life in the United States. Today, Shila Ommi is a prominent actress in the Iranian communities in diaspora. For over a decade, she toured the globe as the lead actress and co-artistic director of Workshop 79, a theatre company spearheaded by acclaimed Iranian playwright/director/actor Houshang Touzie ("A Simple Wedding," "Argo"). The founder of the LA-based theater group, Turquoise Heart Productions, Ommi uses theater art as a form of healing and activism, writes, directs, and acts in theatre pieces that share the Iranian experience with American audiences, and the exile experience with Iranians abroad. She is recently directed a play commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health. Ommi portrays the character Nahid, in the acclaimed espionage thriller, "Tehran," with seasons 1 & 2 streaming now on Apple TV+ . She portrayed the character of Yasmin in the Apple TV+ anthology series "Little America" co-starring with Shaun Toub (who is also her screen husband in "Tehran").

S6 Ep 20Documentary Filmmaking with Amy Nicholson | Happy Campers
EAmy Nicholson is a New York-based filmmaker and commercial director whose projects often explore the essence of Americana with a humorous eye and a warm respect for her subjects. Nicholson's most recent documentary, a short titled Pickle, won multiple audience awards, was selected for The New York Times' Op-Docs, and was featured on the Criterion Collection alongside Errol Morris' Gates of Heaven. Pickle was also nominated for an IDA Award and Cinema Eye Honors. Nicholson has produced and directed several features.

Nicholson's films have screened at Hot Docs, Sheffield, Full Frame, DOK Leipzig, BFI London, Camden, Traverse City, Rooftop Films, and the MoMA. They have been reviewed by Variety, Indiewire, The Hollywood Reporter, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. HAPPY CAMPERS chronicles the final days of a working-class summer colony in a scrappy trailer park that just happens to hold the secret to a rich life. In a waterfront campground off the coast of Virginia, residents spend their summers living spitting distance apart in rust-bitten RVs. They chuckle about the modest rent they pay for a million-dollar location, but what makes them the luckiest people in the world is more than just stunning sunsets, it's the community they've created. Beneath cliched trailer park stereotypes lies an unlikely utopia where all are welcome. Neighbors help each other out, and share everything from power tools to simple pleasures. Loneliness and isolation are inconceivable. When their affordable paradise is sold to developers, the residents brace for eviction and the loss of friendships that span generations. They hold tight to their final days in the sun. The well-heeled crowd that takes their place will never be as wealthy.

S6 Ep 18Independent Feature Film Running on Empty with Lionsgate
"For my first feature I wanted to make something interesting, funny, and heartfelt with a real independent film sensibility similar to films I loved growing up in the 80s and 90s. I see the film as an anti-rom com of sorts and wanted it to feel timeless. The casting was crucial to create the tone of the film and the characters that drive the story. The entire cast was amazing to work with. It felt like a never-ending summer camp on set. I hope that the audience is entertained, amused, touched and most of all enjoy the ride before it's over."

S6 Ep 15Reclaim Your Mind & Sleep with Jim Poole | CEO of NuCalm
EIn this episode, Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, shares how neuroscience can help you manage stress, improve sleep, and reclaim control of your mental state—without drugs or side effects. We explore the science behind NuCalm, its applications for peak performance, and insights from Poole's decades of experience in healthcare, biotech, and global business strategy. Jim Poole says "The human race appears to be in a race to erase the human race." And at a time when "many people seem to have lost control of their lives," NuCalm is the perfect remedy, argues Poole, the visionary CEO behind the stress management technology. "We have a tireless passion for helping people reclaim control of their lives,' says Poole. "And we can do it with the world's most powerful neuroscience. We have a culture of service. We don't serve for reciprocity or credit, we serve because we want to, we can, and we love to. It's our mission and it's our purpose and we will leave an indelible legacy on the human condition." NuCalm is a unique, patented technology that's clinically proven to lower stress and improve sleep quality. It guides brain wave function reliably, safely, and effectively, with no drugs or side effects, using physics, mathematics, and algorithms in neuroacoustic software underneath music. Poole, 55, is an accomplished business executive with extensive experience in the healthcare, biotechnology, medical, financial services, market research, and IT industries. Since 2009 he has managed the strategic direction and ongoing operations of NuCalm, a neuroscience company with an expertise in evidence-based personalized wellness and performance. NuCalm stands alone as a pioneer in neuroscience that provides humans with the power to change their mental state on demand, without drugs or side effects. In July 2015, the U.S. Patent Office granted NuCalm the first and only patent for "Systems and Methods for Balancing and Maintaining the Health of the Human Autonomic Nervous System." In August 2021, the U.S. Patent Office granted NuCalm the first and only patent for "Methods and devices for applying dynamic, non-linear oscillations and vibrations to elicit a physiological state change in humans." Poole has successfully launched global products, managed growth strategies, and optimized business operations for both large and small organizations. Prior to joining NuCalm, he founded Focused Evolution, a global management strategy consulting firm. As Managing Partner, Poole oversaw mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, and growth strategies for venture capital and private equity firms. Focused Evolution managed the largest private equity acquisition in the history of the dental industry for Credit Suisse DLJ Merchant Banking Partners in 2007 and 2008. Poole has lectured on applied neuropsychobiology, the human stress response, sleep and recovery, brain wave management, and business strategies across the globe, from the Royal College of Physicians in London to the 20th Annual Congress for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics in Los Angeles, from Beijing to St. Petersburg to Parliament to the Pentagon and Quantico to the Toronto Film Festival and the Consumer Electronics Show, the NFL Combine and the Super Bowl, across Europe, the United States, Canada, and India.
