Los Angeles, CA – The 2023 HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA AWARDS nominated “Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone” for Song – Independent Film, from the feature film “Sons 2 The Grave.”  The awards will be held November 15th in Los Angeles. The film is produced by Canadian production company Have Faith Productions (HFP) run by mother- daughter team, author, screenwriter & producer, Lynne Stoltz and Toronto executive producer & publicist, Sasha Stoltz, in association with FilmRise and Incendo.  “Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone” is performed by Juno award winner Sean Jones who brought heart, soul and understanding to a heartbreaking scene, leaving us in tears.  We are truly humbled to have a song from our film nominated in a group of such talented artists.   We will be forever grateful to the amazing Sean Jones for bringing it home like no other. Because of the continuing popularity of “Sons 2 The Grave,” Have Faith Productions will produce the television series, “Hudson” inspired by the movie. Sons 2 The Grave” filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, tells the story of basketball phenom, Marcus Jennings.  With one foot in Hudson and one in the NBA, Marcus is taken out.   After midnight on a footbridge that separates million-dollar homes of the rich, famous and the politically connected from subsidized housing, Marcus Jennings is shot twice in the head.   A message sent to the community.   A code of silence remains in place, fostering a common element that binds this community, fear, and the currency of payback will always be bloodshed.  We are our brothers keeper is just a slogan in Hudson.  Ruth Jennings moved to Hudson for her son, his school regularly visited by scouts.  A strong, hardworking single mother, Ruth thought she could protect her child against all odds & choices, but Marcus found it hard to fight off his new surroundings and mislaid loyalties.   Marcus thought he was in control.  A boy living in a mans body, living up to his and others exaggerated egos.  He attracted the attention of scouts, agents, and Division 1 NCAA schools in the US, a pitstop before the NBA.  Marcus also attracted the attention of RD.  RD controlled Hudson & worked for those who controlled him.  In the end it was what they all had in common that ended Marcuss life…Fear.  Fear of staying, fear of leaving and fear of appearing weak.  Murder is a sin.  There is no justification… but there is understanding.  Were born sons and we die sons. Somewhere in between is the story.”  Ruth Jennings believes God sees all.  There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.   But for now… there is Hudson. “Hudson” the series will pick up from there. HFP will bring actors & music from Hip hop/ R&B & Soul royalty together with high profile Community & Faith leaders.  The episodes will echo a line from the movie, “This Ain’t No Fairy Tale… This Is “Hudson.”   Episodes will take you into the heart of the city from upscale streets to back alleys, social status not always pre-determining who turns up where.  “Hudson” will capture the politics and the temperament of the city in raw, powerful & heart wrenching episodes, that will have you attach to the characters, routing for them even when they fall and disappoint.  As producers and writers, we need to tell the stories that hold us accountable to the reality of the truth, not just our own or what feels comfortable.  The police drama takes you inside the 34th precinct, its heartbeat sometimes on life support.  The officers and detectives like the rest of us are flawed. Most conceal their personal fears and demons, not letting them take over.  But there is a point when some officers break, or yes, come broken to the job.  Their safety net, stretched.…  An eager young pastor assigned to the precinct, whos faith is fully intact, a seasoned but weary shrink whose faith has long been scarred & a Captain who makes the hard decisions whatever side of the blue line they fall on.  “HUDSON” relationships run as high up the ladder as City Hall.  Mayor Ron Langston came from the wrong side of the bridge to take office, a move some say is merely geography.  His loyalty to popular club owner/ entrepreneur and childhood friend, Quincy Q” Harris, a man comfortable on both sides of the bridge, is a source of constant concern for his supporters.   HMMA OFFICIAL NOMINATION:SONG – INDEPENDENT FILM“Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone” from ‘SONS 2 THE GRAVE’ – Written by Sean Jones, Michael Shand, Miku Graham. Performed by Sean Jones.  Follow Have Faith Productions: https://www.instagram.com/have_faith_productions/  Media Inquiries:Sasha Stoltz Publicity:Sasha Stoltz | Sasha@sashastoltzpublicity.com | 416.579.4804 https://www.sashastoltzpublicity.com

Sonia Furstenau staying on as B.C. Greens leader in wake of indecisive election

Published

 on

The B.C. Greens say Sonia Furstenau will be staying on as party leader, despite losing her seat in the legislature in Saturday’s provincial election.

The party says in a statement that its two newly elected MLAs, Jeremy Valeriote and Rob Botterell, support Furstenau’s leadership as they “navigate the prospect of having the balance of power in the legislature.”

Neither the NDP led by Premier David Eby nor the B.C. Conservatives led by John Rustad secured a majority in the election, with two recounts set to take place from Oct. 26 to 28.

Eby says in a news conference that while the election outcome is uncertain, it’s “very likely” that the NDP would need the support of others to pass legislation.

He says he reached out to Furstenau on election night to congratulate her on the Greens’ showing.

But he says the Green party has told the NDP they are “not ready yet” for a conversation about a minority government deal.

The Conservatives went from taking less than two per cent of the vote in 2020 to being elected or leading in 45 ridings, two short of a majority and only one behind the NDP.

Toronto FC captain Jonathan Osorio making a difference off the pitch as well as on it

Published

Toronto FC captain Jonathan Osorio is making a difference, 4,175 kilometres away from home.

The 32-year-old Canadian international midfielder, whose parents hail from Colombia, has been working with the Canadian Colombian Children’s Organization, a charity whose goal is to help disadvantaged youth in the South American country.

Osorio has worked behind the scenes, with no fanfare.

Until now, with his benevolence resulting in becoming Toronto FC’s nominee for the Audi Goals Drive Progress Impact Award, which honours an MLS player “who showed outstanding dedication to charitable efforts and serving the community” during the 2024 season.”

Other nominees include Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Sebastian Berhalter and CF Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois.

The winner will be announced in late November.

The Canadian Colombian Children’s Organization (CCCO) is run entirely by volunteers like Monica Figueredo and Claudia Soler. Founded in 1991, it received charitable status in 2005.

The charity currently has four projects on the go: two in Medellin and one each in Armenia and Barranquilla.

They include a school, a home for young girls whose parents are addicted to drugs, after-school and weekend programs for children in a disadvantaged neighbourhood, and nutrition and education help for underprivileged youth.

The organization heard about Osorio and was put in contact with him via an intermediary, which led to a lunch meeting. Osorio did his due diligence and soon got back to the charity with his decision.

“It was something that I wanted to be a part of right away,” said Osorio, whose lone regret is that he didn’t get involved sooner.

“I’m fortunate now that to help more now that I could have back then,” he added. “The timing actually worked out for everybody. For the last three years I have donated to their cause and we’ve built a couple of (football) fields in different cities over there in the schools.”

His father visited one of the sites in Armenia close to his hometown.

“He said it was amazing, the kids, how grateful they are to be able to play on any pitch, really,” said Osorio. “But to be playing on a new pitch, they’re just so grateful and so humble.

“It really makes it worth it being part of this organization.”

The collaboration has also made Osorio take stock.

“We’re very fortunate here in Canada, I think, for the most part. Kids get to go to school and have a roof over their head and things like that. In Colombia, it’s not really the same case. My father and his family grew up in tough conditions, so giving back is like giving back to my father.”

Osorio’s help has been a godsend to the charity.

“We were so surprised with how willing he was,” said Soler.

The TFC skipper has helped pay for a football field in Armenia as well as an ambitious sports complex under construction in Barranquilla.

“It’s been great for them,” Figueredo said of the pitch in Armenia. “Because when they go to school, now they have a proper place to train.”

Osorio has also sent videos encouraging the kids to stay active — as well as shipping soccer balls and signed jerseys their way.

“They know more about Jonathan than the other players in Colombia,” Figueredo said. “That’s the funny part. Even though he’s far away, they’ve connected with him.”

“They feel that they have a future, that they can do more,” she added. “Seeing that was really, really great.”

The kids also followed Osorio through the 2022 World Cup and this summer’s Copa America.

Back home, Osorio has also attended the charity’s annual golf tournament, helping raise funds.

A Toronto native, he has long donated four tickets for every TFC home game to the Hospital for Sick Children.

Vancouver’s Berhalter was nominated for his involvement in the Whitecaps’ partnership with B.C. Children’s Hospital while Montreal’s Sirois was chosen for his work with the Montreal Impact Foundation.
