NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER
The Fall Season is upon us, and as you pull on a sweater and look for your turkey recipes, think about a few of the questions we have presented in our current newsletter: "What is your Life's Purpose?"; "Where do you find Fulfillment?"; "What do you do with a Gift of Opportunity?".
Sheila Callaghan from "United States of Tara" (Writer), and Dawn Higginbotham from " Off the Ledge " (Writer/Producer) join me this month. They are both professional, creative writers who hope to inspire many of you. I hope you can watch all our videos in one sitting and find there are questions will resonate with you long after the videos are over.
Enjoy! My best for you, Renee

Renee is going to be starring in a new Indie film called 'Fitful'.
The principal roles for the new Brauer Productions, Inc. indie film Fitful have been cast. Actors Larry Joe Campbell and Renee O'Connor will fill the two lead roles.
Fitful, a dark comedy/suspense feature written and directed by Michigan Film Maker of the Year Rich Brauer, will be filmed in Manistee, Mich. this September.
SYNOPSIS: Paula (Renee O'Connor) is an inspector for the Historic Trust who visits an abandoned ship on a desolate waterfront. She meets up with the self-appointed caretaker, Vigs (Larry Joe Campbell), who had blindly made the application for historical status. Moments after her arrival, her car is disabled and she is far from town and is stuck for the night.
Without other options, she takes him up on his offer to spend the night. What follows is a sleepless night of bad dreams and creepy reality.

BECOME A ROC MEMBER!
I had the idea of creating a website for original entertainment over a year ago, yet a little space ship named 'Ark' came calling, and I was momentarily distracted. :)
Now, it's time! ROC membership is a subscription based section programmed with new video content. If you choose to accept, the membership will require you to sign up and the monthly payment of ten dollars will begin access to the private section.
Each month you will view new programming. My vision as we begin this journey is to build our membership site to sustain its own web series as well as more original programming as a vehicle for other filmmakers. The monthly features playing in the ROC members section will be '5 Ways...', a skit looking at the absurdity of life. 'Talking With...', where I interview inspiring women. 'ROCin' Recipes'..., yes, I finally learned a thing or two in the kitchen. 'ROC's Cellar'..., I share my first videos with you... and more.
Enjoy yourselves! renee
