  • Kaci Fennell and Jeneil Williams Are Brand Ambassadors for Kingston City Run

    KINGSTON, Jamaica – Kingston City Run (KCR ) now enjoys a double dose of star power as event organizers recently unveiled their newest, celebrity ambassadors: Miss Universe Jamaica Kaci Fennell and Pulse Supermodel Jeneil Williams . Since fitness plays such an important role in their lives, both ladies are thrilled to be a part of the annual charity race, which tests the strength, conditioning and endurance of local and international runners during its ½ marathon, 10K and 5K contests. Kaci and Jeneil are also happy to a part of an important initiative that helps to raise much needed funds for the homeless population living in the island’s capital. “With Jeneil’s athletic background and Kaci’s work with a number of feeding programmes, we believe this is a perfect partnership,” says Nicola Madden Greig, Co-Chair, Kingston City Run Organizing Committee. “We’re excited to have them both on board and look forward to working with them on a number of activities in the weeks leading up to the big race on Sunday, March 15,” she explains. Jeneil jumped at the opportunity to assist with the promotion of the event as it gives her a chance to indulge in one of her first loves: running. Long before gracing the pages of Vogue and modelling for top international brands, including Burberry, Fendi and Louis Vitton, Jeneil was a rising track and field star at Vere Technical High School. In fact, it was an injury she sustained during the high jump that derailed her athletic dreams, leaving her to pursue a modelling career instead. Jeneil, still an active jogger, sees running as a great way to stay in shape, and believes participating in races, such as Kingston City Run, is a fun way to get healthy and fit. Kaci was eager to support the event because of her strong desire to give back to individuals who are less fortunate. Over the past several months, Kaci has been working closely with a local charity to organize feeding projects in communities around Kingston and St Andrew. Since teaming up with the organization, she has helped to organize a bake sale benefiting homeless persons and recently hosted a Christmas dinner at a private girls’ home. “It is always exciting to be a part of doing good, Kingston City Run is a fine example of just that. I am more than happy to be a part of KCR this year,” reveals Kaci. “I hope we can get an even bigger turn out than last year so that we can assist in providing immediate care as well as more permanent housing solutions and skills training for the homeless. I’m looking forward to everyone’s full support,” she explains. Besides the main race day, Kingston City Run participants will start the weekend off at the Bacchanal Welcome Party on Friday, March 13 and enjoy an Experience Kingston Lifestyle Expo and pre-race party on Saturday, March 14.

  • Guyanese Born Singer Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell of Brownstone Dies at 46

    Guyanese singer Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell, a member of the 1990s girl group Brownstone —has died after cutting herself in a fall at home in Southern California, last Friday (Feb. 27), a representative said Monday. Maxwell, 46, fell backwards out of a doorway with a glass of wine in hand. The glass shattered and cut Maxwell in the neck as she hit the ground. Although alcohol may have been a factor, authorities have yet to determine what caused the fall. An autopsy and toxicology test is expected to return an official cause of death. Maxwell found fame in the early '90s after she formed the group with Monica “Mimi” Doby and Nicole “Nicci” Gilbert. The group was signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ label, and scored its biggest hit with 1995's "If You Love Me", a single from their debut album From the Bottom Up, that year. The song earned them a Billboard Music Award and a Grammy nomination. The group went on to release another album in 1997, but hasn’t officially made music together since. She was married to Danish music producer Carsten Soulshock Schack and is survived by 11-year-old son, Nicolaj Hojer . The family is requesting privacy during this most difficult time. Our condolences go out to Maxwell's family.

  • Actress Tonya Lee Williams seeking successor for ReelWorld Festival

    After 15 years at the helm of the ReelWorld Film Festival , Tonya Lee Williams is stepping aside for a younger person with fresh ideas to advance the annual winter showcase. In the last four months, she has been interviewing candidates to find her successor. “I will always be part of the festival and I will attend,” said Williams on the eve of this year’s event, which runs from March 2-8 in the Greater Toronto Area. “But it’s exhausting as I get older. The new executive director will make all the decisions relating to the festival, including the hiring of staff.” Williams, 56, started the festival to showcase Canada’s diversity and provide a platform for visible minorities to display their artistic talent and in the process motivate audiences through film. “I didn’t launch this festival for me to run or to be that part of it,” she said. “I thought it was going to be more philanthropic. I live in Los Angeles, my life is in Los Angeles and I work there. I wanted to create an initiative where I could donate some money and kick this off. We hired an executive director that first year and some staff and I kind of took a back seat.” In the inaugural year, the festival didn’t go as smoothly as she would have wanted. To compound matters further, it went over budget. “I lost money and there is nothing more motivating than when that happens,” she said. “I had to take full control the second year. We had to at least break even or try to make some money. ” With the evolution of technology in the film industry, Williams is looking for someone to lead the charge in the new era. “The whole industry is changing, so I am seeking someone who is tapped into the digital age,” she said. “I know that’s very important, but I don’t know how to drive that forward.” While embracing business, Williams said she would prefer to produce movies. “Running a film festival is no different than running a restaurant or another business for that matter,” she said. “I need to get back into a creative space. I am at that stage in my life where I want to do things that I love. I started in the entertainment business when I was 16 and I don’t have to prove anything to anybody. I want to do things that are enjoyable and trigger my creative juices. I don’t care if that’s a play in some small theatre. While building a business is not my style, I like how this festival has turned out.” The award-winning actress is among a team of advisors selected for this year’s Jamaica Film Festival (JFF) , which takes place in Kingston from July 7-11. Selected by Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO) , the advisors will provide logistics, technical and management support for the event and will assist local filmmakers with marketing and distributing their films locally and internationally. Williams has a connection to Jamaica. Born in England to Jamaican parents, she spent seven years in the Caribbean island with her mother, who was employed at the Jubilee Maternity Hospital. In 1966, Williams and her mother went back to England for four years before migrating to Canada. Named one of Canada’s Top 25 immigrants in 2012, she won a Miss Junior Personality contest at age 14, was crowned Miss Black Ontario four years later in 1977 and did comedy for 15 years before switching to drama. Williams landed small TV roles and worked in Canadian theatre for a few years before heading to Los Angeles 28 years ago in search of a major acting role. She’s best known for her role as Dr. Olivia Hastings on the daytime drama, The Young and the Restless , which she was associated with for 23 years. Several veteran and first-time filmmakers are in this year’s festival. The newcomers include director Alexander Henry and actor Samuel Asante, who teamed up to produce a short film, Do Something . “This film is about overcoming stereotypes and learning and growing from our mistakes,” said Henry, who was born in Canada to immigrant parents from Barbados and Jamaica. “Doing the right thing means you first have to step up and do something.” Asante plays the role of Tre in the four-minute film that will be screened as part of the shorts program on March 7 at 4:30 p.m. at Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre. “Tre is a young man with issues,” said Asante. “His mother is on the verge of losing her job and he is in a dilemma and is driven to do something to help his family. I could relate to that as I went through some of the same challenges he’s facing.” Multiple award-winning filmmaker, Lalita Krishna , has been with the festival since 2002. Her documentary, Listen to Me, will be screened on March 7 at 1 p.m. at the Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre. The documentary follows the story of Farrah Khan, a counsellor, who runs visual and expressive arts programs for young women to talk about issues like body image, forced marriage and family violence. Skilfully interweaving personal narrative with the artistic work of the participants, Listen to Meillustrates the importance of programs which give voice and a platform for young women to safely tell their stories and be empowered to shape their future. Krishna said the ReelWorld event stands out from other festivals. “It’s unique because of the diversity of films you see here,” said Krishna, who won the 2010 ReelWorld Film Festival Trailblazer Award. “I go to many festivals and I am on the Hot Docs Festival board, but the vibes you get here and the interaction is different. You almost feel like if this is your festival.” Last year, the ReelWorld was expanded to include Markham, which is one of North America’s fastest growing cities. Source

  • New Caribbean TV Series to be Filmed in The Bahamas

    Film and television producer Scott Steindorff and television actor Rick Fox are scouting various locations for a new television series about island life in the Caribbean. They were recently in The Bahamas meeting with government officials and scouting the Island. Known as “Hollywood's book man” Scott Steindorff has chosen extremely high profile literary bestsellers to adapt into movies from authors including Philip Roth, Richard Russo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, T.C. Boyle, Nicholas Sparks, as well as Michael Connelly's "Lincoln Lawyer" and Mikhail Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita." He also produced the TV series Las Vegas for NBC. In an interview with TheBahamasWeekly.com Steindorff spoke about the reason why they choose The Bahamas as the location for their series. " The Bahamas has the most beautiful beaches and background in the world. The people are kind and genuine and it is the perfect time to do a show and share the beauty of this magical land with the world." Steindorff also added, "Also Rick Fox is a sought after talent in Hollywood. The show will have top Hollywood stars, as well as be a perfect vehicle to nurture new talent in the Bahamas in front of the camera, as well as behind the camera.

  • Meet Jamaican Artiste "Runkus"

    Born Romario Sebastian Anthony Bennett aka RUNKUS to parents veteran entertainer Determine and artiste manager and booking agent Paula Francis, he started recording at the tender age of seven (7) years old with songs like Ghetto Youths, Those Niggas and Back on the Street Again on his parents Zulu Productions label. Runkus is a past Campion College student, who did exceptionally well in his CSEC and CAPE Examinations. He was also a very active member of the student body, being President of several clubs including Media Production, Green Generation and the Music Club. At the age of 15, he recorded a Mixtape with his father Determine entitled "Like Father Like Son" which was well received and allowed him to perform in the United States. The following year (2010) he entered a Talent Search which was organized by RETV, alongside his guitarist Scot Leslie who is now the lead guitarist in his band, (Runkus and the Old Skl Band). Being the only contestant with a difference, that is, an acoustic style to his set, he astounded the judges and won the competition, which gave him the opportunity to be on the RETV School tour performing alongside Beenieman, Denique, Ding Dong, Khago, Cherine Anderson, Stacious and Voicemail and also the the opportunity to do his first official music video for song entitled "Badmind" on the Magician Records label, which got heavy rotation on television and radio. Runkus has also had the opportunity to perform on Sting 2009, St Mary Mi Come From, and Champion in action, alongside his father. He sets himself aside from others in the field, simply because he doesn't have a set type of music style as he does what comes to mind and what feels right. "To say that I only do one or a few genre of music is limiting my scope, I simply do music, not just reggae, not just dancehall, not just roots rock… I DO MUSIC!" stated the young musician. Most of his music is guitar driven due to his love for the instrument and prior to the fact that he does engineering for his father (in his home studio, Matches Boxx Production), he is able to compose enough to fabricate a finished product in his mind and bring it to life in the studio, like what was done with “Rain Start Fall” which was a collaborative effort of the Old Skl Band and Majah Label Music Group. He recently released a single accompanied by a music video with Bassick Records JA entitled “Victim” which is receiving positive feedback and support from many. Runkus and the Old Skl Band have just completed a project with his production team Majah Label Music Group. It also consists of songs produced by Bassick Records JA, UIM and Krs Allen. The project entitled "Welcome Paula Son" consists of eleven (11) fiery tracks and a bonus track, displaying his versatility, lyrical prowess and his appreciation for various genres. It includes collaborations with his father Determine, his mother, Keznamdi, Royal Blu, and Eva. Runkus is really a force to be reckoned with, a very promising artiste and new world sensation.
