THE DOOR- EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ALIA KRUZ


@AliaKruz
Visionary for Greatness
Written By: Geneva Relf


Alia Kruz was born in Bogota, Columbia on May 7th however it was only six months later she was adopted into a family from Fargo, North Dakota. Alia Kruz from a young age showed signs of greatness beyond her years, and took center stage to heart! Appearing in local talent shows, hosting events, and even taking it to the classroom with her comic release! Alia Kruz was bound to fly with wings that surpassed her surrounds, however the journey was a bumpy road including self discovery! Alia attended Shanley High School which was a Catholic school in Fargo, it was there when Alia tested the waters a bit. However her parents decided to send her off to Boys Town located in Omaha, NE from there the road seemed to appear gray. From foster home to group home finally landing in YCC Youth Correctional Facility this is where change begins for Alia and laid the foundation for greater expectations! 

At the age of 15 she decided to make a change engulfing herself in the roots of success. By the age of 18 years old she made up in her mind that now or never for direction in life. She graduated from high school while she was at YCC and being surrounded by those worst off then her put life in perspective! Alia realized then visions of greatness is nothing without work, and headed home back to Fargo. Where she attended the university of  NDSU, Alia kept the lessons she learned from her experience and time in YCC close to her heart knowing one day she wanted to give back! However a miracle came at the age of 19 the birth of her son, with no more then 700 hundred dollars and U-haul Los Angeles became the destination for achievements. The road was hard however Alia Kruz has the heart of a champion with no quit in sight, with the blessings of working connections Alia began to see the payoff. However Love was not in the vision but it came in Derrell Owens who saw a woman with passion,heart, beauty,as well intellectual, and a son he fell in love with as his own! 

Alia is very well accomplished however now is the time where giving back means the most. In the works is a Youth Center designed for greatness. A center where your  level of achievement is a reward not force success, and aligned with her mentor Rosey Grier who is known for his work with the Kennedy Charity organizations. Alia wants to provide a dawn of hope on a generation that needs a life line in chances. However this center is going to push the envelope in education even taking it to the levels of college a dream most youth want to accomplish! Alia knows that all it takes is a chance, which is why she is giving back to those many might have thrown away! She is even working on her reality show and making appearances on the hot reality shows "For The Love of Ray J", "Family Business" the show of Brandy and Ray J! However you might have seen her on runways from the 'STUNT 101' ( Hip Hop is way of life) fashion show, "FALL IN LOVE AGAIN" lingerie fashion show, even Ozone magazine. However she has also appeared in films now taking the business side further she is tackling her own success with a path of greatness ahead!  Alia Kruz knows that being a businesswoman, mother, and partner means work however the blessings that follows are priceless.  


Alia Kruz has built and empire with a vision, and no more then a dream to be greater! She has invoked change in her life whiles inspiring those around her, Alia is not taking any short cuts to success but striving to prove that businesswomen are making a comeback whiles making it look fabulous! Alia Kruz has overcome many obstacles, adversity, and challenges however through it all and her faith she has overcome! Make sure you do not blink or underestimate her long talented list of skills in her resume, also blinking can cause you to miss greatness unfolding! Alia Kruz a woman with success stamped from birth! Lookout for the upcoming reality show based off the exclusive club "The Door" where you will see not only the behind the scene view of your top celebrities from Shorty Mack, Lebron James, Tyrese, Ray J, P Gordy, Kennedy-Kennedy,Marlyn Singelton and Vaughn Alvarez among many more. The Door is going to take you behind the velvet rope, and the flashing lights, and with a variety of locations you never know where they will head next! However the vision is clear the goal is the youth center, and making dreams come true!

JOHN LENNON PEACE MONUMENT

 


Liverpool, England (September 24, 2010) – A global peace monument is to be gifted to the people of Europe on the occasion of John Lennon’s 70th birthday. It will be unveiled as part of a gala ceremony in Lennon’s birthplace of Liverpool by his eldest son Julian and first wife Cynthia. 
Taking place on Lennon’s birth date of October 9th, the unveiling of the 18ft monument entitled ‘Imagine Peace & Harmony’ in Liverpool city centre will be attended by two thousand dignitaries and fans from all over the world and will form the most significant global birthday celebration dedicated to John’s life and work. 
Commissioned by the Global Peace Initiative, an American arts organization dedicated to creating peace monuments around the world to promote global peace, the European Peace Monument has been created by American art prodigy Lauren Voiers in Phoenix, Arizona. When unveiled in Liverpool’s Chavasse Park - a five acre green space in the heart of the city overlooking the River Mersey - it will give hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city the opportunity to celebrate the life and spirit of Lennon and his message of peace.  
According to Julian, “I like the idea that a young, creative artist is inspired to leave a permanent reminder of a message of peace. I think Dad would have liked this too, so it is in his honor and memory that I agreed to take part in this event on his birthday.” 
Lauren Voiers has been asked by Julian to incorporate, within the monument’s design, a white feather – which to Julian is a symbol of both his father's spirit and of peace. As Julian Lennon explains: “One of the things my father said to me was that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok, it was by, in some shape or form, presenting me with a white feather.” 
The unveiling of the monument by the Lennon family is a remarkable moment in Liverpool’s cultural history and one that will be remembered for many years to come. And the fact that this event is to be attended by dignitaries from all over the European Union shows the significance of the monument holds to the wider global community. 
Jerry Goldman, MD The Beatles Story, Liverpool comments: 
“Lennon’s message of peace is timeless and is one that is now more relevant than ever. We hope that this imposing monument dedicated to John will become a place that people from all over the world will visit to contemplate peace and John Lennon’s contribution to it through his music. 
“Liverpool is the only ideal destination for such a remarkable monument and we feel sure that it will take on a global significance as word travels round the world that there is a place to go to in England where people can meet under the timeless banner of peace.” 

The unveiling of the John Lennon Peace Monument will take place on the morning of Saturday 9th October 2010. Joining Julian and Cynthia Lennon will be Ambassadors and other representatives from the EU, Members of Parliament, leaders of the city of Liverpool, the Global Peace Initiative, The Beatles Story, Liverpool ONE and of course the artist Lauren Voiers. 
The John Lennon Peace Monument is the second peace monument to be gifted by the Global Peace Initiative. The first was gifted to the people of Asia in 2005, was accepted by the President of Singapore and has a permanent home in his country. There are plans for a third monument to be gifted to the people of South America as part of a pledge by the Global Peace Initiative to reach out to all continents with their message. 

A ticketed event for just 2000 people there will be very limited interview, photographic and filming opportunities available for key media on the day.
Please note that Julian and Cynthia Lennon are not available for interview on this occasion.
For more information, to request media attendance and to place initial media requests please contact richard@creativeconcern.comandrewpeacock@creativeconcern.com or claire@creativeconcern.com at Creative Concern or call 0161-236-0600

COVERED BY HIS BLOOD- UPCOMING MOVIE


Geneva- Thanks for taking this time to talk about your upcoming film project.



Tee Platinum- Thanks! It's my pleasure!



Geneva- Covered By His Blood where did the title come from?


Tee- Well it's actually a double meaning which involves real blood. You have to stay tuned to find out!!


Geneva- Now when casting a movie, what is the hardest part?
Tee- For this movie, Faye Childs did the casting. She's a really amazing writer from New Orleans. You can see more about her on the website www.coveredbyhisblood.com  ....But from the outside looking in, I would say that the hardest part of casting for a script is three things. First and foremost, finding people who are believable actors who can bring the character to life.  Secondly, finding someone who is dedicated and loyal.  You want someone who is passionate about their craft and a person who isn't going to disappear unexpectedly or not show up the day of the shoot.  And lastly, its important to find actors with a good personality.  You want some one who is a people person who is easy to get along with because you will be on the set with this person normally for 8-12 hour shoots.  You don't someone coming with a list of demands, a diva attitude or some one who is unreasonable.  That can really sabotage your project.



Geneva- I guess my first question should have been, how did this film come about?


Tee- I initiated the project and brought in the people who I thought were best suited to pull off what I needed done to do my part as an video editor in post production. Alex of Smart Aleck Films was the cinematographer, the best in Atlanta may I add. And like I mentioned before, Faye Childs was the script writer and casting director. It was kind of like after the situation was masterminded, they set up the play for the 3 point shot.



Geneva- Can you tell us about the cast for this film?


Tee- The cast is comprised of 4 or 5 main characters.  Kerry is the main character. She is young and naive in love. (Played by Honey Johnson). She is in love with her new boyfriend Jordan (played by Brian Knight) who she brings home for Christmas dinner to meet her family.  Everybody seems to love him instantly except Kerry's mother (played by Jo Lynn Merriweather) who gets a bad feeling or vibe about Jordan. Then the drama begins! Jordan's sister, Jay (played by Charlie J), pops up to the dinner to pick up her brother. Keep in mind that Kerry never knew Jordan had a sister all of this time because she's the "black sheep of the family". Then Kerry and Jay start hanging out and doing things you wouldn't believe. Then things spiral out of control until Kerry is literally fighting for her life. But to answer your question, the cast did a great job!  They put in a lot of hard work!  Many of them are new faces but I know that we have a few potential superstars on our hands! Your fans can be the judge! www.coveredbyhisblood.com   


Geneva- What do you want viewers to get from this film?

Tee- We want the viewers to entertained, enlightened and educated all at the same time! And to keep in mind that everything that glitters isn't gold. And money isn't everything or worth selling your soul over.  It's good to have nice things, but you shouldn't lose who you are in trying to obtain them.


Geneva- Well thanks so much for taking this time! Is there anything you would like to add before we go?


Tee- Just check out the trailer on this blog and check out more about the film on www.coveredbyhisblood.com To see my demo reel or to get more information about me, go to www.teeplatinum.com  Thanks for having me!!
