Filmore Noir and Shantel PotinsI am so excited and honored to be part of the 10th season of SIFFwhich promises to be fantastic. What I've seen so far alreadygave me chills. Horror seems to be on everyone's mind. However,I have to admit that in terms of costumes, I'm not displeased.Now, are the directors and actors as dark as their films? That'swhat I'll find out for you. We'll meet them outside of their studios,know a little more about the rising stars we've never seen orheard of and find some gossip about our most favorite stars.Want information about your stars? Shantel will bring them toyou on a silver plate, my darlings.

Thanks for having me here New t! I t’s a pleasure to be part ofBattle of the Bands.

I was just 16, and to be honest i t was the best decision I haveever take. Thanks to that I’m living my dream of being aperformer.

I know this is my goal in life. I’m here to stay. If for some reasoni t doesn’t for me... wel l, I don’t know what I’m going to do.

Arcadia Goldysch

I started to listen at rap music when I was 13. I t was love at first sight. I decided to becomea professional singer when I dropped school. I knew i t was my goal in life. I have so manyinfluences! But if I had to pick one of them i t wil l be Nicki Minaj. She’s a combination ofpop and rap, and that’s what I want for my music style.

Yes I am! Actual ly is almost finished, I’m real ly exci ted forthe world to hear i t. Also, I can tel l you something about i t.The lead single i t’s cal led “Change Your Life” and i t’s comingreal ly soon and we are working on a video for i t! For therelease date of the album I can’t tel l details yet.

I think i t’s a perfect and exci ting way to put your name andmusic out there. You get to know so much people that havethe same dream as you, become a music star.

Karma Sisters Steph Kline

All: *laugh*. we get that a lot.

wel l you could say they are clones of me, I am the oldest.Oh yeah true. Haha no we are not clones though i t would be cool.

There is a few small things that are different about each of us and I think ourpersonali ties real ly effect how we wil l even thought we al l have basical ly the same face.

Hey New t man what are you trying to say here Bro? You saying I suck! Haha I’mkidding no no my ful l time job is with Breaking Blue and this is a side projects for ourrecording agencies Studio54.

I honestly thought Miki was mad trying to get us al l to work together. I t’s kind of funny to see what Miki goes through, Studio54 put us through

countless hours or work and then more just to make sure we were anywhere near agood stranded to I don’t think we need to worry about sucking New t ;)

punk rock! Mate you have no idea what Breaking Blue and I have got up oursleeves haha!

I think for us i t’s more a chance for me to show my sisters the life that I live and forthem to have their rock star time but go back to a normal life after Battle of the Bands.

At the end of the day Miki is the only one here who lives for her music we love i tdon’t get me wrong i t’s just we wanted to see what i t was like and get more of aunderstanding.

I’m the nerd of the family I finished Collage when I was 8 being 17 now I alwaysthought my sisters head was in the cloud thinking she could sing and when this bandthing came up I was thinking honestly Miki you need a real job but now seeing what shedoes i t’s crazy! Late nights, early morning, posing for photos do not even get mestarted on how hard that is and how long i t takes and what works and what doesn’t!This is not just some fun thing for her and I can see that now and I’m thankful to theBattle of the Bands for giving me the chance to see how hard my older sister works.

oh yeah I did! Hunter my boyfriend wel l now fiancé asked me to marry him and I saidyes! I t wont change anything for me Hunter knows that Breaking Blue and singing is mylife and he is part of that life for a good time now and he was the one who asked so heknows how i t al l works and if anything i t’s nice to have him around you know when I fal lasleep is wired places he puts me in bed, i t kinda sounds wired but he takes good careof me.

no joke one night we didn’t get home til l around 7am and she fel l asleep in a chairsi tting up straight and Hunter picked her up and carried her to the hotel room.

Kenzie Howell We have a lot of newcomers and unsungheros showing at SIFF this season, all bravelycoming out of their shells to showcase theirtalents! It is my pleasure, as a fellow SIFFnewbie (yes, I entered a video last fall, but that’sall I’ve done as of yet!), to introduce them toyou!

Intermedio: Darren Stewart

The Sims 3 Uni ted States

On vacation, a newlywed couple and their friends meet in a remote partof Mexico to explore a cave hidden deep in the woods. Far below the surface,horror strikes when the group gets lost and they can’t find a way out. Theypush on, praying for another exi t, but there is something else lurking under theearth. The friends are now prey, forced to unleash their most primal instinctsin an al l-out war against an unspeakable horror, one that attacks withoutwarning, again and again and again. Wil l they find a way out of the cave system?Find out on this September!

: Brace yourself! I t’s goingto be a scary one! This horror filmjust screams (pardon the pun)“We’re al l gonna die!” And that’s justfrom the trailer alone. I don’t knowwhat those people found in thatcave, but if I were them, I’d get out!This is just like a real horror movietrailer: starts off with a fun plan,then the si tuation turns dire, andyou’re left wondering what isgoing on. Plus you get a glimpseof the horror that everyone isabout to meet face-to-face. I, forone, am eager to see what exactlythat creature was and what i t’scapable of. I suspect a lot ofpeople wil l have trouble sleepingafter they see i t, too!
