NFL Star Kerry Rhodes Announces Film Production Company “It’s The Comeback Kids LLC”

LOS ANGELES, CA – (May 30, 2013) - NFL star Kerry Rhodes (www.KerryRhodes.com) is man of artistic sensibilities. At heart, he is a storyteller who thrives on blending fiction with the real world. His passion for art and film has culminated with the creation of a new production company, “It’s The Comeback Kids LLC”, co-founded with managing partner Anthony Holt. The company has trained its eye towards television and the feature film market and is currently in post-production on two debut projects; Gone In An Instant, a documentary that chronicles the rise and fall of NBA superstar Antoine Walker’s fame and fortune, and Bike Cops, a weekly webisode series featuring high-profile athletes that follows two mismatched partners fighting crime in suburbia.
“As a professional athlete, I find Antoine Walker’s story both inspiring and tragic,” said Kerry Rhodes. “It’s an incredible thing to take your misfortune and use it to help educate and inspire others so they don’t make the same mistakes. I admire his courage to come forward with this message.”
Antoine Walker’s story speaks for itself. Amassing over $110 million during a 13-year NBA career, Walker went from being an NBA All-Star and World Champion to facing felony charges stemming from gambling debt in Las Vegas. However, vice was not his sole enemy; his generosity to more than 70 family members and friends evenly contributed to the drain of his fortune. Now successfully navigating bankruptcy, Antoine is on a mission to educate others on financial literacy, using his own story as a warning and an effective platform for others to learn from his mistakes.
The documentary is the first of many planned projects by “It’s The Comeback Kids LLC” that will span new media, television and film.
For more information on ”It’s The Comeback Kids LLC”, or to interview Kerry Rhodes, contact LA PR specialist Eileen Koch of Eileen Koch & Company INC., a full service PR, Marketing and Branding firm at 310.441.1000, or email Eileen@eileenkoch.com. Visit www.EileenKoch.com.

Burbank, CA: (April 8, 2013) Reliance MediaWorks (www.RelianceMediaWorks.com) is proud to announce that Academy Award-winning VFX Supervisor, George Murphy, will join their in-house team. Filling the position of Chief Creative Officer, Mr. Murphy is known within the entertainment industry for his visual effects work on iconic movies like Jurassic Park, Planet of the Apes, Forrest Gump (for which he received a Best Visual Effects Oscar), King Kong, Starship Troopers, and The Matrix: Reloaded & Revolutions, among others. As a seasoned expert in Hollywood visual effects, Mr. Murphy’s broad experience and accomplishments are sure to prove a perfect match for the creative future of Reliance MediaWorks (RMW).
“I’m excited to be joining the team at Reliance MediaWorks where I can collaborate in growing the company’s expertise to fully support directors, producers, studios and other key creatives in achieving their vision on a diverse range of projects,” Murphy stated. “Building on RMW’s current strengths, we will be expanding and refining the offerings from our Burbank team, with an aim to establish a hub of exceptional expertise in the areas of visual effects, animation and digital content creation. My goal is to further establish Reliance MediaWorks as a truly collaborative resource for clients; accessible, responsive and able to serve as an integral part of a production’s core creative effort,” Murphy continued to say.
With an illustrious career path built working with iconic Hollywood names such as Industrial Light & Magic, ESC Entertainment, Electronic Arts, WETA Digital, and Disney’s ImageMovers Digital, George Murphy transports over three decades of experience as a professional photographer, Visual Effects Supervisor, and digital artist to his position at RMW. A pioneer of Hollywood’s digital age, he has cultivated a reputation for, as he puts it, “bringing together diverse visual elements into believable images of reality and fantasy, which remain faithful to the chosen style and medium of a project.”
Murphy’s philosophy has always been to provide clients and their audiences with VFX work that enhances a film’s story and the performances of its characters, rather than distracting. He brings to this task a critical eye toward enhancing what matters most on the screen and backs it with extensive expertise in both live action and digital approaches, experience he’s gained working on numerous productions collaborating with directors, actors, technicians and digital artists in all stages of the filmmaking process.
RMW chose Murphy from a multitude of star candidates to steer the helm of their already formidable production team.

Our desire to support Hollywood’s most demanding directors make him the ideal choice to lead our Global VFX team,” said Naresh Malik, President Media and Creative Services Reliance MediaWorks.

Eileen Koch & Company Joins PRWeek and PMK*BMC’s Roundtable Discussion
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwired – Apr 2, 2013) - Fame is influence. Actors, athletes and musicians all have one thing in common — exposure. Their lives are led in the public domain, giving their audiences unrestricted access to what they do, where they go, how they shop and what they endorse. Entertainment PR firms face the challenge of fine-tuning this influence through media to fulfill the needs of their clients.
This was the hot topic as Eileen Koch of Eileen Koch & Company sat down for a roundtable discussion (via www.PRWeekUS.com) with PRWeek alongside PMK*BMC, United Talent Agency, 20th Century FOX Films, Starz, Red Bull Media House, The Axis Agency, BMI and YouTube to talk about the status of the Entertainment industry today and what is means to be a content-conscious “brand.”
With the rise of social media, celebrities and budding businesses alike can now deliver content straight to their followers without using traditional mediums, a unique development for PR professionals.
“Not everybody is the ‘theatrical’ celebrity,” Eileen observed. “They could be chefs or hairdressers. Social media has opened the door for the ‘average person’ looking to gain publicity and build their business.”
The panel also highlighted how Facebook, YouTube and other websites have changed companies’ approach to media strategy. Traditional publications still allow easy access to industry professionals, but Entertainment firms have to be savvy enough to work with clients that self-publish through blogs and remain true to their online “voice.”
“My big focus [in the future] will be client education on the latest technologies and getting them to understand their values,” Eileen stated.
With media outreach the proof is in the pudding, but convincing clients that their money is well-spent remains a top priority. Data is always reassuring, but sometimes difficult to produce. “It’s still hard to show clients the value of what we do,” Eileen said, “but if we can get there, it takes us up another level.”
The roundtable discussion was jointly hosted by PRWeek and PMK*BMC, and was the first to feature the heavy hitters of Los Angeles’ Publicity and Marketing industry.

Stylist Eric Archibald Strikes Oscar Gold with Jennifer Hudson
LOS ANGELES, CA- (Feb 24, 2013) Celebrity stylist Eric Archibald (eric-archibald.com) sat anxiously on the set of E! Live From the Red Carpet at the Hotel Roosevelt on Oscar Sunday as he waited for the highly anticipated red carpet arrival of his client, Jennifer Hudson. With an 80lb weight loss since her Academy Award debut in 2007, the Oscar winner, styled by Archibald, donned a slinky, body hugging Roberto Cavalli Couture metallic blue gown (hand beaded in Paris), paired with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and a Jimmy Choo clutch. Notorious for making best-dressed lists, Hudson was the perfect muse for the couture ensemble.
During the E! Live From the Red Carpet pre-Oscar show, Hudson told Ryan Seacrest, “It took three days of fittings, three hours each day to make my decision. It’s a serious decision. My stylist cried tears of joy [when I finally decided].” In response, Eric told E! “Jennifer likes to be comfortable, and feel like what she is wearing is a second skin. She looks amazing.”
With a huge smile from behind the scenes at E!, Archibald rushed to the Dolby Theater where he prepared Hudson for her upcoming live performance. Not only did she “wow” on the red carpet, the singer/actress brought audiences to their feet with one of the most powerful and memorable Oscar performances to date. For her breathtaking Dreamgirls performance of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” Archibald dressed the starlet in a copper KAUFMANFRANCO crystal encrusted linear column gown.
To complete Oscar night, Archibald attended the Vanity Fair after-party with Hudson, making sure every thread was in place, as they relished in the Oscar history that had been made. The stylist humbly said, “Dressing Jennifer for the Oscars is such an honor, and I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to showcase her beauty through such amazing fashion and designs.”
The NY native, known for his celebrity clientele, also recently dressed Jennifer Hudson in a curve-hugging black and white ensemble for her chilling Super Bowl 2013 performance of “America the Beautiful” with the Sandy Hook Elementary students, as well as the 2013 Inaugural Ball where she performed “Let’s Stay Together” for President Barack Obama, and First Lady, Michelle Obama.

“This has been a wonderful year so far for us,” Eric said. “Styling Jennifer for the Oscars is such an honor, and I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to showcase her beauty through such amazing fashion and designs.”

Eileen Koch & Company Welcomes Artist, Musician and Independent Filmmaker Seraphim Ward
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – Feb 11, 2013) - Eileen Koch & Company is pleased to announce our newest client, rock vixen and independent filmmaker Seraphim Ward. Known throughout Hollywood for her poetic lyrics, hard-rock edge and colorful style, Seraphim’s latest single, “What’s the Color of Love? (Beautiful Creature)” (the first release off her new album, Time Heals All Wounds), spills all the raw intensity and passion she has emanated throughout her artistic career. Visit www.seraphimward.com.
Born of Creole heritage and raised in the southern states of Mississippi, Louisiana and Indiana, Seraphim Ward struggled as a child to overcome a stutter that, for a time, caused her to withdraw from society. She found an outlet for her rich imagination in words and books, delving into literature at an early age, and began composing her own material through lyrics and music in her early teens.
Her love for art, performance and music crescendoed to a peak until, at age 15, Seraphim made the move to Hollywood. Straight away, her uniqueness caught the eye of a manager who helped start her career; she booked campaigns for Kraft, Foot Locker, Macy’s and J-Crew, work that led her to the catwalk as a model for high-end designers and boutiques in Beverly Hills. While studying film, she began exploring the Los Angeles music scene and was encouraged to record her own material. Seraphim’s creative dreams were fully realized with the release of her debut album, Mute Malevolence.
Adding “actress” to her ever-growing resume, Seraphim will star this summer as “Rachel” alongside award-winning actress Bai Ling (The Crow, Red Corner, Wild Wild West) in the feature film Speed Dragon. Two hot songs off her new album, “Rebel” and “Bad Behavior,” are featured in the soundtrack. She is currently completing post-production work on her first original feature film, Angel One Eye, for which she served as writer, cinematographer and director.
Seraphim Ward continues to produce new music and music videos through Sin Icon Production Music and Film Company. Seraphim’s stamp of individuality has already inked its design on Hollywood and we look forward to seeing the art of this one-of-a-kind trailblazer for many years.

Stylist Eric Archibald Dresses Jennifer Hudson for Super Bowl Performance With Sandy Hook Elementary Students
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – Feb 5, 2013) - Super Bowl Sunday provided much more than victory or defeat for fans of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Prior to kickoff, Jennifer Hudson stunned the world with a heartbreaking rendition of “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by the surviving children of Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Eric Archibald, personal stylist to the Oscar winner, worked hard with Ms. Hudson to meet her high standard of fashion, but took great care not to overshadow the presence of the survivors.
Eric chose to highlight the emotional performance with simple black-and-white tones, dressing Ms. Hudson in a black leather top by Monika Chiang, a white pencil skirt by L’Wren Scott and decorating her feet with black pumps by Yves Saint Laurent. The outfit was carefully designed to bring subtle focus to the singer during her televised performance, while blending in and connecting her with the white and khaki outfits of the 26 elementary children with whom she shared the stage. “Jennifer wanted simple and classic,” Eric says. “She herself has overcome great tragedy and it was all about paying respect to the moment.”
Eric and Jennifer furnished the outfit with one bright touch: a green ribbon pinned to her top in honor of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. In late 2008, Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew were fatally shot by William Balfour, the estranged husband of her sister Julia. The tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary spoke closely to her own experience, and the singer later spoke about the honor and the emotional challenge of performing with children whom she regards as “inspirational.”
“Little children being survivors like that…that is the part that took me back in,” Hudson recalled. “They are conquerors, they are survivors. And they’re babies.”
Eric Archibald also recently dressed Ms. Hudson for her performance at the 2013 Inaugural Ball.

Eileen Koch & Company Welcomes Young Technology Entrepreneur Jennifer Colli
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – Jan 17, 2013) – Eileen Koch & Company INC. is pleased to announce our newest client, Jennifer Colli. A young entrepreneur hailing from Texas, Jennifer is striking out into the technology industry with a fresh perspective. Having already created and sold out of her educational software company, JonDavid Enterprises, by the age of 25, Jennifer is now looking to make her mark in the app world with her new product called, “Who Has It?” (www.whohasitapp.com).
“Who Has It?” is a revolutionary new mobile fashion platform, seeking to connect consumers, retailers, and celebrities. Jennifer was inspired to create the app when she noticed the disconnect between consumers and retailers in the fashion industry. “I will revolutionize the way that people shop. I have designed this app from different points of view all based on years of market analysis and research, and created an application that will allow users to shop anywhere in the world, any time. My goal is to get users to experience the world of fashion for what it really is.”
“Who Has It?” is a real-time app of existing and new product or inventory that will be available in stores. Different from other fashion-oriented apps, “Who Has It?” offers customization and system functionality specific to each user and retailer’s needs. With a target audience of teens and young adults, “Who Has It?” gives retailers another marketing outlet to reach their existing and potential customer base. Another appealing aspect of the app is that it allows its retailers to be as involved or uninvolved as they want to be, while continuing to generate sales and keep customers up to date.
Beyond the basic functionalities of “Who Has It?”, one of the most exciting features is the celebrity facet. Allowing an inside look into celebrities’ closets, the “Who Has It?” app then connects fans and consumers to the retailers who provide their favorite star looks. The app offers a way for celebrities to connect with their fans, and also brings recognition to retailers.
With experience and success behind her, Jennifer Colli is looking forward to continuing her excellence in the technology field with her revolutionary new app, “Who Has It?”

NFL Arizona Cardinals Safety Kerry Rhodes Included in Pro Football Focus’ 2012 All-NFC West Team
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – Jan 16, 2013) – Hot on the heels of a record year with the Arizona Cardinals, all-star safety Kerry Rhodes (www.kerryrhodes.com) scored a major victory by being included on the 2012 Pro Football Focus (PFF) All-NFC West Team. The honorary “draft” celebrates Kerry’s best year as a leading NFL safety, having broken up six passes and nabbing four interceptions during his 13 games as a starter.
Each year, Pro Football Focus nominates individuals who show outstanding performance on the field in their given role, as well as their performance as a team player.
Joining Kerry Rhodes are fellow Cardinals, Calais Campbell and Patrick Peterson, who, alongside Kerry, have cemented Arizona’s reputation as one of the best defensive teams in the league. The pick of 3 key players was a welcome omen to the team, who recently fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves after a disappointing season that ended 5 – 11.
“Thank you so much @PFF for including me on your 2012 All-NFC West Team,” Rhodes tweeted to his followers, remarking that he was grateful for the nomination.
As a key member of the Cardinals, Kerry Rhodes has proven that he is committed to improving his performance on and off the field. The bar has been set high for the 2013 upcoming season, but Rhodes is no stranger to a challenge. All eyes are on Arizona and fans are very eager to see what he will do next.

Tea Party Documentary Party Crashers Now Available on Hulu and iTunes
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – Jan 15, 2013) – Party Crashers (www.partycrashersdoc.com), the debut project of Live Oak Productions and filmmaker Travis Burroughs, is now available online for download via Hulu and iTunes. This groundbreaking, feature-length documentary examines the roots of the Tea Party movement and investigates how its voice swelled into one of the most powerful political forces of the 21st century.
Party Crashers takes viewers on a journey across the country to visit key landmarks and individuals who defined the Tea Party movement. The documentary features interviews with members who helped shape early Tea Party ideology, such as John O’Hara and Brendan Steinhauser. The two are noteworthy for their involvement in the Washington-based Tea Party organization called FreedomWorks, which recently made headlines after Labor Day for upheaval amongst its leadership following the November elections. Both men help peel back the mystery surrounding the controversial stance that the Tea Party legislation has taken regarding the Constitutional rights of American citizens, as well as the changes their followers hope to make in reducing government spending and reduction of the national debt.
Other interviews feature prominent figures that have played significant roles as political leaders, or party backers, such as Senator Rand Paul, Republican Assembly member Sharron Angle, and actor Stephen Baldwin, each remarking on the evolution of today’s political landscape as affected by Tea Party members across the country. Valuable contributions are also made by critics of the Tea Party movement, such as Professors Christopher Park and Thaddeus Russell, who examine how racism and bigotry may have subtly infiltrated the minds of legislators and become an unwanted, but often overlooked, component of Party ideology.
Party Crashers debuted on the independent film circuit in the United States to great aplomb and is available on DVD through the film’s website, www.partycrashersdoc.com, as well as online through Hulu and iTunes. Follow the movement on Facebook and Twitter and watch as Party Crashers unveils the struggles, triumphs and controversy surrounding the dark horse of American politics.

A personal bio
Veteran publicist Eileen Koch has lived and breathed entertainment since childhood. The New York City native moved to Los Angeles with her family at the age of 16, where she was immediately drawn to the bright lights of Hollywood. A gifted dancer, Koch took to the stage as a professional performer, working alongside some of the biggest names in theater and television as a teen and young adult.
As she came of age, Koch developed an interest in the business side of entertainment, and decided in her late 20s to start her own management company specializing in children and teens. The move from center stage to the wings was a welcomed one for Koch. She considered it a privilege to discover promising young talent and nurture them toward the recognition they deserve. One of the first young faces to catch her eye was Milla Jovovich; Koch discovered and managed the Ukrainian beauty secure pivotal jobs that would propel her from obscurity into a top model and actress virtually overnight.
Koch’s fledgling company quickly expanded to include public relations services, as she found that her tenacious spirit and gift for communication made her well-suited for working with the media. Meanwhile, her rapidly growing client base fell for her warm and personal approach to business, and appreciated her years of experience as an entertainer herself.
