LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – DECEMBER 18, 2009 – Earlier this month we welcomed the world premiere of actor, writer, director and producer Rich Tola’s deeply nurtured work of passion, “BOULEVARD ZEN” (www.boulevardzen.com). The feature, produced under Tola’s production company, Two Strike Hitter, garnered emotional viewer support after its initial unveiling last week. In conjunction with the film’s premiere was a spotlight on Tola’s nonprofit organization, The Boulevard Zen Foundation Inc., in which he and his team raised more than $1,000 in donations for the spiritual-minded, humanitarian foundation. An inspirational, life-affirming tale, ‘Boulevard Zen’ centers on the universal healing powers of yoga. The 5,000-year-old practice is given a modern-day spin by Zen’s leading character, Bobby D’Angelo, a grief stricken widower devastated by the loss of his soul mate and yoga teacher. Real estate attorney D’Angelo finds clarity and enlightenment as he travels the path of a yoga master, inspiring students along the way. This uniquely truthful depiction of personal issues positively affected by yoga extends far beyond the reach of the individuals themselves. The Boulevard Zen Foundation is a nonprofit organization created to provide yoga instruction and education to battered women and children throughout the country. The organization was founded after Tola’s visit to a local women’s shelter where he was inspired by the facility’s rectory and retreat-like atmosphere. When he learned that the facility did not have adequate funds for yoga, Tola discovered a unique opportunity and put his business savvy into effect. “I knew that yoga could help empower these women and children and help with the healing process,” stated Tola. “My hope is that ‘Boulevard Zen’ will educate and inspire the public about a worthy cause and the life-changing benefits of yoga. We are encouraged by the success of the film’s premiere and beyond thrilled at the generosity and compassion of everyone who donated to the Foundation.” For more information about The Boulevard Zen Foundation, or to interview Rich Tola, please contact Eileen Koch @ Eileen Koch & Company INC (EKC) 310.441.1000 or email Eileen@eileenkoch.com. ![]() For Immediate Release HOT from Koch

– Laura Bryna Joins Forces With Music Producer Rob Boldt – LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – DECEMBER 10, 2009 – Resilient international recording artist Laura Bryna (www.laurabryna.com) has announced to collaborate with the vastly versatile and seriously selective music producer Rob Boldt for her highly anticipated second full-length album, to be released in 2010. Bryna, who has established herself as a blossoming queen on the modern music scene with her signature eclectic country-pop-rock style, is taking her sound and soul to an altogether new level with the addition of Boldt. Rob Boldt has conscientiously contributed to defining tracks by notable names like Fergie, Paula Abdul, Lou Cantrell, J.C. Chavez, & N’SYNC. With his superbly discerning ear and tenacious talent, Boldt seems a pitch perfect match for Bryna’s bold and beautiful aesthetic – a combination sure to splendidly deliver. The sophomore album to Bryna’s wildly embraced debut CD, “Trying To Be Me,” her second album promises to take huge leaps in experimentation, while staying firmly rooted in her distinctive, resonant and captivating sound. Stylish Los Angeles producer Rob Boldt – who is a composer himself - is known for his forte and faculties with regard to music. His taste, ability and skill can be grasped as much by the company he keeps as the recordings themselves. And Bryna now joins that company and makes it sing! This is why the combination of Bryna and Boldt holds such serious promise. “In my experience I’ve worked with so many talented artists, but there was something unique that I found about Laura’s voice and personality that really caught my attention,” states Boldt. “I’m beyond thrilled to work with such an exquisitely talented luminary and I’m utterly convinced great things lie in store for Bryna’s future.” From her West Hollywood base, Maryland native Laura Bryna launched her singular singer-songwriter career fairly recently. And what volumes since have come! Last year she bowled over a sold out crowd at the famed LAX Club in Las Vegas for her debut CD release. That same year, after her stirring and contagious hit “Hometown Heroes” served as the Air National Guard’s official campaign song, she was named their national spokesperson. This year the fiery, fiercely talented Bryna rocked the House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles to a once-again, standing room only crowd, establishing her as a rocker to be reckoned with! She has also signed an international record and licensing (multi CD) agreement with AGR Television Records in Hamburg, Germany, which is distributed by Universal Music Group. With so much in store and so much at stake, this latest collaboration with the inimitable Boldt thrusts rising star Laura Bryna onto the 2010 world stage where she belongs!

– New Film Inspires Wealth of Spirit, Body & Mind – LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – DECEMBER 1, 2009 – On December 9, the world will enthusiastically announce the highly anticipated, inspirational debut feature film, BOULEVARD ZEN (www.boulevardzen.com), by actor, writer, director and producer Rich Tola. Two Strike Hitter, Tola’s Production Company, has been nurturing this powerful story for the last two years, the culmination of which crescendos into an emotional, spiritual and physical experience rarely captured so richly on camera. A true labor of love, Tola’s day-in-the-life tale Boulevard Zen centers around Bobby D'Angelo, a man still steeped in the loss and tragic death of his wife and true love, who incidentally doubled as his master yoga teacher. The film also delves into the mind and heart of an unlikely real estate attorney turned yoga master, whose nature inspires his own students through his commitment to form, his clarity of intentions, and the discipline with which he works. With an almost Darwinian approach, he is an exemplary master. A truly universal story, Boulevard Zen brilliantly and carefully illuminates how the healing effects of yoga can truly be life changing. With both profound physical and spiritual manifestations, the film beautifully articulates yoga’s impact on personal issues such as anorexia, infertility, anxiety, hypertension, depression, domestic abuse and low self-esteem. These are remedied through a 5,000-years-old practice that, at its core, is one of balance, strength and clarity, and ultimately peace. A film as close to Tola’s heart as to his head, Boulevard Zen’s unforgettable soundtrack was also produced by the director himself. He was also inspired to co-write the lyrics for the movie’s theme song, “Life’s Boulevard,” and can also be heard playing harmonica on “Bobby’s Song” and in the instrumentals. As versatile as he is active, Tola studied with several master teachers in both Los Angeles and New York, holding degrees from both The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He is also a certified yoga instructor with advanced training in yoga therapeutics, as well as a member of the Yoga Alliance. Through his art, his teaching and his non-profit organization, The Boulevard Zen Foundation, Tola’s aim is a simple but mighty one: to change the world.

Fast forward to a time where one can click on a Website and find all the ingredients and choices for a beautiful night out from theatre and dance, comedy and sport, to speed dating and yoga.

And in this same fast forward, the wondrous evening to be had not only is conveniently secured and wallet pleasing, but also gives back to the community. Well then the time would be 2009 and the magical provider would be Texas-grown ticket maverick StubDog. StubDog was founded in 2006 by young entrepreneur Sam Levassar.

The goal set forth by Levassar and StubDog was to be able to provide people with the opportunity to try something new and entice them to explore events locally for a fraction of the normal costs. Levassar teamed up with lifelong friend, StubDog’s vice president of operations Paul Beckwith to make StubDog and its ideals come to life. With its grass roots in Texas, offering events in Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth, StubDog successfully launched in Los Angeles in 2008, securing partnerships with The Actors Gang, The Ford Amphitheatre, White Trash Catholic Circus, Art of Boxing Promotions, Pilates Studio City and the Groundlings just to name a few.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 – As the stars came out on the evening of Sunday, September 20th, so did the design creations of the world’s most recognized couture houses. There was a new name etching its impressions onto the ultimate walk of style and into the sought-after designer list this year. Designer Lorena Sarbu’s (www.lorenasarbu.com) wondrous couture fabrications were on point to make a fresh, seductive, uniquely personalized statement on this year’s 61st Annual Primetime Emmy world stage. One of the Emmy nominees that graced the red carpet in Lorena Sarbu this year was Primetime Emmy nominated actress Shohreh Aghdashloo. Shohreh Aghdashloo was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her powerful performance in HBO’s “House Of Saddam.” This was Aghdashloo’s first Emmy nomination. But the Iranian born beauty is not a newcomer to the awards arena. In 2003, Aghdashloo skyrocketed to fame with her portrayal of Nadereh Behrani in “House of Sand and Fog” opposite Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly. Her performance earned her an Oscar nomination and top honors, such as the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female, Los Angeles Film Critics Association award for Best Supporting Actress and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress. Aghdashloo’s other diverse credits include, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” “X-Men: The Last Stand” and FOX’s “24.” Lorena Sarbu’s vision for Aghdashloo’s Emmy evening meshed sophistication, demure sexy and shimmering beauty. The perfection realized was a bejeweled blue, iridescent Italian silk chiffon gown with an exquisitely pleated bustier cinched at the waist with [antique jewelry hand picked by Lorena Sarbu]. The gown’s straps delicately expand to kiss the shoulders as its rear criss-cross pattern plays as an elegant, enticing framework for her back. Ethereal and light, the dress cascades to the floor, accentuating her sophisticated and sensual form. Passionate about marrying design creation with the talent’s own unique personal aura and allure, Lorena Sarbu’s custom creations are alive in so many ways, which set her apart from the rest of the couture set. The dress imagined for Aghdashloo is a prime example of Lorena Sarbu pure enchantment. This was Lorena Sarbu’s second design presence at this year’s Emmy Awards. 2009 Daytime Emmy Award Winner, Tamara Braun accepted her statue in a stunning, form fitting, sexy, Lorena Sarbu pewter chiffon and silk mermaid gown with a daring plunge back. The gown, matched with Braun’s beauty, had the YouTube, Facebook and soap blogs aflutter for days.

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. – September 3, 2009 – As Tamara Braun walked up the steps to the stage to accept her Emmy and was finally in view of all at the Orpheum Theatre, the vocal approval thunderously roared. The sexy, low plunge back of her regal Lorena Sarbu gown was the genesis for this impulsive, uncontrollable praise celebrating picturesque feminine allure. From the front, profile and back, to the color, fabric and innovative match of aura, the Lorena Sarbu gown which adorned Braun on her historic evening showcased beauty, elegance, sophistication and sexiness in standout and standing applause perfection. Tamara Braun’s Emmy win comes for her electric portrayal of Ava Vitali on “Days of Our Lives.” For Braun’s Emmy evening, Lorena Sarbu imagined a sexy, pewter chiffon and silk mermaid gown with a daring plunge back. Refining the ideal ornamentally, her gown creation was paired with beautiful Lorena Sarbu vintage hardware accents. Lorena Sarbu and her fresh couture imagery have made their presence felt vibrantly at this year’s Emmy Awards. Her uniquely elegant mix of classic and nouveau embodied and shined brilliantly on today’s most diverse talent and brightest stars at both the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards. Represented on the red carpet, Hollywood parties, socialites, award ceremonies and industry events, Lorena Sarbu’s couture is rocketing towards the new in demand, first choice of the A-list set.

The international version has several bonus tracks (“Out the Window” and “I Don’t Have a Thing to Wear”). The provisional with AGR and Bryna is a multi CD deal.

Los Angeles Debut Performance – Standing Room Only at the House of Blues WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA (August 14, 2009) – Monday night was anything but quiet at the famous House of Blues on the Sunset Strip as music recording artist Laura Bryna rocked a packed club in her Los Angeles debut. Bryna performed songs from her debut CD, ‘Trying to be Me’, as well as some new material destined for a follow up CD sometime in 2010. The mix of music brought together rock, pop, and country in a soulful mixture that allowed the Los Angeles-based Bryna to showcase her powerful range. Two of the songs featured a dancing duo as choreographed by the well known Eddie Garcia (has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Ja Rule, Sheryl Crow, Jane's Addiction, Paula Abdul, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy and more). An especially exciting announcement confirming Bryna’s deal to have her CD distributed internationally through AGR Television Records and Universal Music Group International was made at the show. As part of the arrangement, Bryna will make appearances in various countries to promote the music beginning early next year. The concert event also featured tributes to a number of special American ‘Hometown Heroes’ as well, including Women of the Air National Guard and five everyday unsung heroes flown to L.A. as part of a national search contest sponsored by Bryna, Southern Beauty magazine, JOICO, It’s A Glam Thing and the Andaz Hotel. Some of the celebrities attending included soap stars Kate Linder, Patrika Darbo and Sean Kanan; and TV/Film actors Ben Feldman and Jonathan Sadowski. In addition to a standing room, appreciative crowd who came for some great new music, the event took time to honor the five winners of the ‘Hometown Heroes’ search conducted this spring and summer. VH1 host BD Freeman opened the show and introduced National News Anchor / TV Host Suzanne Sena who acted as MC. Mayor Abbe Land of West Hollywood and Mayoral Rep BJ Lemothe (City of Los Angeles) both made a few remarks and tributes to the heroes, the Air Guard women and Bryna. Lemothe read a letter to Bryna from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, honoring the performer for her dedication to the armed forces and others in need. Bryna, who gives countless hours of her time to supporting efforts of the Air Guard and the National Guard Youth Foundation as well as Make-A-Wish Foundation, was quite emotional in trying to describe her feelings for the hometown heroes in the audience. “I am so blessed to do what I love,” said Bryna. “But without the sacrifices that these men and women make for their country, I wouldn’t be able to do this. They are the true heroes – they help me to live my dream.” Laura Bryna is currently working on film and television opportunities as well as a brand new music project.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – JUNE 2009 – Since the release of her 2008 debut album, Laura Bryna has become quite a phenomenon, receiving the kind of reaction from fans and press alike that you rarely see these days. For an artist so early in her career, her resume already reads like an industry veteran’s, with major endorsements from some of the biggest names in the business. Bryna’s first major tour was a 45-city expedition with country legend Clint Black. This was the first of several extremely successful live pairings, placing Bryna alongside top artists like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Sugarland. Her debut album, Trying to Be Me, has struck a chord with an audience that spans the spectrum of fans on both sides of the country and pop fence. Not only is Bryna one of the most beautiful new stars in Nashville, but her timeless melodies and substantial lyrics make her one of the most significant talents to emerge in many years. With such widespread appeal, it’s easy to understand why she’s considered one of the hottest rising stars in country-pop music today. She’s found the rare audience that only superstars-in-the-making seem to attract, as her career already seems to be following the same trajectory that launched pop crossover megastars like Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill to become household names. Right out of the gate, Bryna’s label Equity Records realized her enormous potential, signing her to a three-album deal. This auspicious beginning led to her recent role as the face and voice of the Nation Air Guard ad campaign, featuring a song she co-wrote aptly titled, “Hometown Heroes,” as a tribute to all of the heroes who serve our country. Bryna’s glamorous and fashionable image mixed with her girl-next-door charm has made her wildly popular with fans. Her involvement with the Make-A-Wish foundation is a testament to her generous heart and down to earth personality. Visit her impressive site www.laurabryna.com and hear for yourself why she’s one of the fastest rising stars in country-pop today.

Eileen Koch Keeps Good Company Koch Client Amanda Eliasch Throws Serious Beverly Hills Bash LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - February 20, 2009) - It is said that beauty breeds beauty and wealth breeds wealth, though both were proved astonishingly true at the glorious get together hosted by the incomparable Amanda Eliasch, photographer and socialite extraordinaire. It is indicative of the kind of exemplary company that the equally inimitable Eileen Koch surrounds herself with and always has -- this was a night to remember! Koch has always had an eye for ability, a drive for the ideal and an instinct for success. Thus follows an almost kaleidoscopic entourage of truly remarkable talent. Case and point: the Amanda Eliasch Bash in Beverly Hills for the launching of her book "Cloak & Dagger Butterfly," that boasted some amazingly brilliant and staggeringly beautiful lords and ladies, including actor Michael York, Kristin Cavallari, Lady Victoria Hervey, Rick & Kathy Hilton, Ronnie and Vidal Sassoon among a mighty list of many others. Though a special shout must go out to the extraordinary live performance that brought the hot pink imbued room to a veritable standstill, so plush with excitement, exuberance and sensuality the evening had suddenly become. A special gift, flying in from Paris to attend and perform, the other-worldly Dita Von Teese's striptease single handedly flipped the vibe of the night and turned the party into something of a happening -- a truly thrilling and exquisite happening. Amanda Eliasch, one of Eileen Koch & Company INC.'s most prized clients, intends to spend some time in Los Angeles, as well as her home in London where she lives with her bold and brilliant two sons. From her book, to dabbling in an array of artistic endeavors, extensive travel and social activities, Eliasch understands that "Flitting from one thing to the next is a rich woman's prerogative." But make no mistake; this is a lady on a constant quest for life's richness and beauty. The same can be said of Eileen Koch. A truly unforgettable evening. Just another notch in the increasingly expanding world of one of the most conscientious, hard-working and spirited individuals in the business. It is an ongoing process that Koch has engaged with meticulously and is most comfortable with. This, after a rock solid history of public relations prowess.
