In this episode Larry Gilbert sat down with the multi-talented actor Oliver Trevena, a name synonymous with success in Hollywood, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, Trevena has seamlessly navigated various roles from acclaimed TV host to award-winning actor, producer, and philanthropist. Trevena's journey in the spotlight began with his charismatic presence as a TV host for major shows like Young Hollywood and The Hollywood Reporter, where he interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment. He's also fronted red carpets for prestigious award shows, including The Grammys and The American Music Awards. But his career didn't stop there. Over the last few years, Trevena has transitioned from hosting to acting, and what a journey it has been. Oliver has starred in over a dozen feature films, sharing the screen with Hollywood heavyweights like Gerard Butler in Plane, Nina Dobrev and Aaron Eckhart in The Bricklayer, and Olga Kurylenko and Harvey Keitel in Paradox Effect, the latter earning him the Breakout Actor Award at the Rome Film Festival. With the recent Toronto Film Festival premiere of The Cut, where he co-stars alongside Orlando Bloom, Trevena's name continues to rise in Hollywood's elite circles. While his acting resume grows, Trevena is also making waves behind the camera. He produced and stars in Another Day in America, which recently hit the festival circuit, and he just wrapped production on Icefall, starring alongside Joel Kinnaman and Danny Huston. Trevena's upcoming projects include two television shows: Beachy Head, which he co-created with Danny Cannon and stars Dougray Scott, and London Son, both of which he is producing with Pulp Fiction producer Lawrence Bender. Beyond Hollywood, Trevena's impact is felt on a global scale through his philanthropic efforts. For over a decade, he's served as an ambassador for Not for Sale, a worldwide organization fighting human trafficking and modern-day slavery. His dedication earned him an award from the Duchess of York. His passion for humanitarian work doesn't stop there—Trevena produced a documentary in India, spotlighting the importance of female education and raising awareness about forced child marriage. Trevena is not just an entertainer; he's also a savvy entrepreneur. As the founder of Ollywood Media, he's built a thriving business centered around investments, production, and brand creation. Recognized as one of the "Top 20 Entrepreneurs to Watch," Trevena has merged his deep connections within the entertainment world with his creative vision to launch global brands like Allsaints, DOGPOUND, and Next Health. His most recent venture, Caliwater, co-founded with close friend Vanessa Hudgens, has attracted an all-star group of investors including Gerard Butler, Glen Powell, and Ryan Tedder. With a packed schedule of upcoming films, TV projects, and entrepreneurial ventures, Oliver Trevena continues to redefine what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in the modern entertainment industry. Whether he's acting, producing, or leading philanthropic initiatives, Trevena's passion for storytelling and making a difference shines through every endeavor. Tune in to the full episode to hear Oliver's inspiring story of perseverance, the lessons he's learned from his 20+ years in the entertainment business, and how he balances his Hollywood success with his business ventures.

In 2007, Italian artist Graziano Cecchini poured red dye into the Trevi Fountain to protest the Rome Film Festival. "You wanted just a red carpet", he said. "We want a city entirely in vermilion.

For the last sixteen years, Chris Meyer has been a funeral homeowner.

Chris has a Juris Doctorate and Master's in Environmental Law (Magna Cum Laude) from Vermont Law School and a BA in Politics and History from Brandeis University. He has been a licensed New York State attorney for over twenty-eight years. Prior to his funeral life, he wrote, directed, and produced a low budget film called "Black is White". The feature length, race relations drama was written up in Variety as the film to watch from the Independent Feature Film Market in New York City. It was one of twelve international films chosen for the Rome Film Festival. When the film was not chosen for the Sundance Film Festival, Chris loaded up his car and moved to Hollywood to become a screenwriter. He made a living as a production assistant working for Herb Ritts, the premier fashion photographer of his time and on various studio lots.

As large parts of the UK enter stricter COVID restrictions this weekend, many businesses and individuals say they face a challenging winter. Seven months ago during the national lockdown, SUNDAY heard from three people who were getting to grips with running their church, mosque and synagogue. Edward catches up with them to hear how they managed and what they have learnt from the experience. FRANCESCO is the latest film from Oscar and Emmy-nominated Director Evgeny Afineevsky, featuring exclusive interviews with Pope Francis. It premiered at the Rome Film Festival this week and immediately made headlines for the statements made by Francis supporting civil union laws for same sex partners. His personal position on this issue isn’t new but some commentators believe Pope Francis may be setting a path for the church to follow. Canon lawyer Ed Condon and academic Candida Moss discuss. A bakery set up in a church kitchen to train refugee women in bread-making skills is now supplying a local food bank with more than 200 loaves a week.

Pamela Dickey Young, Professor in the School of Religion at Queen’s University joins us for this segment.  Young discusses Pope Francis’ watershed endorsement on same-sex civil unions, an endorsement that emerged on October 21 2020 in the debut of Evgeny Afineevsky’s documentary Francesco at the Rome Film Festival.

Thailand has been rocked by months of student street protests that have intensified in recent days. They're unprecedented in that they don't just criticise the government, but also the monarchy - a taboo in Thailand. Jonathan Head in Bangkok reports on what may be a critical turning point in a political upheaval. This week it’s exactly a year since the Spanish government exhumed the remains of dictator General Francisco Franco from his mausoleum. But the question of how to handle the divisive legacy of the country’s 1930's civil war and the ensuing decades-long dictatorship under Franco remains a contentious issue in Spanish politics and society. And now there are new efforts to tackle it, as Guy Hedgecoe reports from Madrid. In Jordan, the already high unemployment has risen further during the pandemic, but the country remains attractive to migrant workers from nearby Egypt where wages are lower. But, as Charlie Faulkner hears from an Egyptian cobbler, the choice to stay in Jordan to keep his job, comes at a high price. In the US, attitudes to China have hardened in recent years, with trade tariffs, and blame for the coronavirus. In China, attitudes to the United States have changed too, but also in more positive terms, at least when looked at over a longer period of time, such as the lifespan of the grandfather of Vincent Ni. The 15th Rome Film Festival is running this week - taking place in a city that is, itself, an iconic cinematic location that still holds an irresistible allure for filmmakers across the world. This brings welcome jobs and much-needed money to the cash-strapped capital, and, as Joanna Robertson reports, headaches – and questions - to many residents.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Supporters of Donald Trump are already running amok at early voting locations around the United States. And the Secret Service busted a man who wrote a letter threatening to kill Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as well as their supporters in his city. Meanwhile, labor unions and allied organizations are forming their own volunteer force to counter Trump’s QUOTE army ENDQUOTE of poll-watchers. Everybody in labor is getting the message that the election isn’t over on November 3rd. And lastly, for the first time, a pope of the Catholic church comes out in favor of legal recognition for same-sex unions. Tradcaths are mad as hell about it. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: A 42-year-old man from Frederick, Marlyand, was charged yesterday with threatening the lives of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the Washington Post reports. Secret Service investigators and federal prosecutors say James Dale Reed left a handwritten letter on the doorstep of a Frederick residence, threatening to severely beat Biden and rape Harris with his rifle barrel before executing both candidates on national television. The letter also warned supporters of the Biden-Harris campaign that they would be targeted. Separately, the Post reports, tensions are high at early-voting sites around the country. The first days of early voting have unfolded with dozens of accusations of inappropriate campaigning and possible voter intimidation in at least fourteen states. A wide array of complaints have been reported, many involving Trump supporters. In Nevada City, California, as many as three hundred raucous Trump supporters in cars and trucks crowded into the parking lot of the county government center, where early voting was underway. At one polling place at a church in Hendersonville, Tennessee, last week, a Trump supporter drove by repeatedly in a large truck-and-trailer rig with Trump flags and music blaring from speakers, creating havoc. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, a convoy of vehicles, some with Trump flags, honked and yelled near a voting site on Saturday. And so on. There are also concerns about the presence of police and armed security at some polling places. Finally, from the campaign trail: Barack Obama made his first live speech for Biden yesterday in Philadelphia. Voting doesn’t make everything perfect, Obama said, but it can make things better. Which, after a year like this one, has gotta be worth something. Labor prepares election defenders America’s largest labor unions are getting ready for anything come election day and its aftermath. NBC News reports that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will convene an emergency meeting of major union leaders on Friday to map out election contingency plans. Donald Trump’s campaign is recruiting what it calls an army of volunteers to monitor polls. Labor officials say they are preparing to counter any attempt by Trump supporters to interfere with the casting or counting of ballots. In his invitation to other union presidents, Trumka said QUOTE Trump's threats pose a clear and present danger to the election, our democracy and the future of the country ENDQUOTE. The group he’s assembled includes the leaders of the Service Employees International Union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the National Education Association, all of which have endorsed Joe Biden. Tefere Gebre, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO, told NBC that labor groups plan to push back not only on any ballot interference but also against any resistance to the peaceful transfer of power should Biden win. Meanwhile, the Working Families Party, a progressive group founded and backed in part by labor unions, is supporting a new initiative called Election Defenders, which is training thousands of people across the country to work the polls. The Election Defenders will provide, among other things, election and voter defense, de-escalating white supremacist intimidation tactics and signaling to a network of groups and lawyers if and where trouble breaks out. Solidarity with all defenders of democracy! Pope endorses gay unions Pope Francis became the first pontiff to endorse same-sex civil unions in comments for a documentary that premiered yesterday, the Associated Press reports. The pope’s comments come midway through the feature-length documentary “Francesco,” which premiered at the Rome Film Festival. The film delves into issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. According to the Catholic News Agency, Francis was speaking in the context of providing pastoral care to people who identify as LGBT. In the film, Francis says QUOTE Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God. You can’t kick someone out of a family, nor make their life miserable for this. What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered ENDQUOTE. It’s not full marriage equality, but by Catholic church standards, it’s definitely something. Conservative Catholics are already freaking out. Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, called for clarification from the pope, saying QUOTE the church cannot support the acceptance of objectively immoral relationships ENDQUOTE. Oh please, get over yourself. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: A court filing this week by the American Civil Liberties Union revealed that lawyers have been unable to track down the parents of five hundred and forty five children who were separated from their families by the Trump administration. Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, said the people responsible for this horrific practice must be held accountable. He added QUOTE We will not stop looking until we have found every one of the families, no matter how long it takes ENDQUOTE. Godspeed. The Justice Department announced a record $8.3 billion settlement yesterday with Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin. As part of the deal, the company agreed to plead guilty to three felonies, but the Washington Post reports that state authorities and families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction complain that the DOJ’s terms go easy on the Sacklers, the billionaire family that once ran the firm. Who could blame them? Donald Trump has a mysterious bank account in China, the New York Times reports as part of its ongoing investigation of his taxes. It’s unclear which bank holds the account or how much money may have passed through it. But it does explain why Republicans are so desperate to make an issue of the Biden family’s international business deals, which are piddling by comparison. As you may have heard by now, for his new Borat movie, Sacha Baron Cohen lured Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, into a compromising position in a hotel room. Those privy to the advance footage report that Giuliani is seen stuffing his left hand down his pants on a hotel bed in the presence of a woman presented as Borat’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Tutar, who is played by twenty-four-year-old actress Maria Bakalova. Very nice. Giuliani insisted in a radio interview yesterday that he was just tucking his shirt in. Sure thing, Rudy. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report.

This is our first attempt at incorporating listener feedback in our programme, and one of the lessons that we learned is to ask just one question per episode. The discussions became too long, thus, we had to split this episode into two parts.Majority of Part 1 is about the Twilight DVD and the New Moon Casting Rumours. Part 2 contains our 2008 Year In Review.For Part 1, once again, we'd just like to say that we love Edi Gathegi and all the jokes in this episode were made in the spirit of fun speculation. They weren't meant to be offensive in any way.And with that, we present Episode 10 Part 1! Enjoy!SHOW NOTES | Danag: The Filipino Twilight Saga PodcastEpisode 10 Part 1 - What Do You Mean Edward Can't Have A Jamaican Accent, Man?In which:- "Charlie" comes back- We discuss the latest New Moon casting rumours- We try to figure out The Curious Case of Friedman and Wachsberger- We discuss what we want to see in the Twilight DVD- Everyone, and we mean everyone, auditions for the role of EdwardRunning Time: 1 hour 1 minuteRecording Date: 24 January 2009This week’s panel: Daene, Mabelle, Clair de Lune, MinamiLinks and Notes:Twilight Soundtrack Turns Gold!Stephenie Meyer is the Bestselling Author of 2008The Hollywood Reporter interviews Summit Entertainment's Friedman and Wachsberger Taylor is Back! - Statements from Stephenie Meyer and Chris Weitz | 26 Pounds and CountingVanessa Hudgens - IMDB page | "You Are The Music In Me" music video from High School Musical 2 | Ashley Greene didn't know about the rumours, but she said she'll be glad to have Vanessa join the cast | MTV reports that Ashley said that Vanessa did audition | Vanessa's rep doesn't know about any audition | Entertainment Weekly said no audition happened | Access Hollywood said their sources at Summit said Vanessa is up for the role | Zac is Done, RPattz is in!

You know, when they finish filming for the day, sometimes they go to one of the cast's trailer to just hang out, play instruments and sing. I think it will be interesting to watch them perform music.Sheri: Probably the auditions. It would be nice to see the first time Kristen and Rob kissed. And also for us to have a glimpse of those who auditioned for Edward's role.Anna Nicolette: The "Lion and the Lamb" part wherein Esme was the one to utter the quote not Edward. The delivery would've been more fitting rather than just being blurted out by Edward.Alex Jo: I wish it also have an audio commentary by the author of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer. And I wish that it has lyrics of "Bella's Lullaby". And I also wished that the cover has an autograph by Miss Stephenie Meyer.Riyah: Maybe most of the fans would also like the BLOOPERS portion while making the movie to be included in the DVD as well. And also for me specially, I'd prefer if they include the video where Rob pattinson audition for the role of Edward.Jacq/Amala: I know this sounds crazy but I would have wanted to have the DVDs signed by the cast. ahaha Well, aside from that, I would want them to at least have an exclusive interview of the cast and everybody behind the movie. More behind the scenes maybe...Rome: A Blooper or Gag Reel, More BTS footage: the ones shown in Rome and Madrid comes to mind, hope it's included in the 7-part docuPrezeuz: i really want to see how the stars auditioned for the roles.. haha!Melissa: For the Twilight DVD, it would be nice to include a feature on the Rome Film Festival when Twilight debut the 8-minute clip. It would be a blast to hear those Twilighters screaming, maybe even see our very own Amala Thea, our official TCP correspondent from Rome. Also, maybe clips from the LA movie premiere and other premieres from other parts of the globe (Madrid, Italy, etc.) and just basically capture the craziness and the cast/director's reactions to it.Kai: I'm not really sure if there's a blooper reel on the DVD ( -- is there?) If there's none, then, I'd like that. Mainly because I would like to see Rob and Kristen loosen up a bit, you know? I think fans would like to see them out of their "Why so serious face/s". ;)) I also would like to see alternate endings / cuts or whatnot. You know, the same scene but from a different angle or camera shot or clip. It'll be interesting to see what shots were not used and could be used for that scene and compare it.Liam: Ge, Xin, Rome, Echo, and I were talking about the Tagalog translation of Twilight lines. As what Rome posted in the Tagalugin Mo thread, it's quite interesting to see a Tagalog dubbed Bella-Edward Kissing Scene. Plus, I think it should be dubbed by 2 of the most promising members of the TCP Forum. It will be totally cool (and hilarious hehehe) to have that in the DVD.Elizabeth: The Audition. (not sure if this is part of the documentary: "The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen", which is among the special features) I would want to see how the actors convince the Producers, Meyer and everyone that they are good for the role. plus, i kinda think that they try on different roles before 'landing' on their final role. I think it's fun...seeing another actor play somebody's role...Miami Ink - Official Website | About Ami JamesMusic Used This Week:Opening Credits - Immortalize Me by SalientIntro Spiel - Excerpt from Charlie's Angels Theme (2000) by Apollo 440 | Buy AlbumSegment Transitions - Excerpts from Dinner With His Family by Carter Burwell and I Would Be The Meal by Carter Burwell from Twilight: The Score | Buy AlbumEnd Credits - Excerpt from Cold Ground by Mark Seliger's Rusty Truck | Buy AlbumEpisode Edited by: Clair de LuneDanag Logo Artwork: Paul MendozaThank You: Rome, Echo, and all the listeners who sent in their answers for this episode's questionsIf you want to participate in our discussions or if you have topic suggestions, comments, and questions, please send them to:twilightcoven(at)gmail(dot)comFor the latest news in the Twilight Saga, visit our blog:twilightcovenph.blogspot.com
