Debbie Durkin's Main Event Red Carpet Lounge at the elite Friars
of Beverly Hills was the only gifting suite to be broadcast live by NowLive.com.
Celebrities packed all their goodies in reusable and environmentally friendly
bags from Bags on the Run. So what did they get? A $500 gift certificate from
Lamborghini Watches, but Boston Legal's William Shatner and Sylvester Stallone's
model wife Jennifer Flavin each walked away with a watch of their own. Caribbean
Escapes gave away trips starting at $5,000 to five star resorts around the
world to stars like Kevin Dillon of Entourage and soap veteran Diedre
Hall.
They also received beautiful vintage jewelry from Lara
Noel Hill Designs,
authentic handmade purses and clutches from Shamar
Designs, lingerie and not-so-innocent
body products from Undercover Wear, the finest all natural cleaning products
from Shaklee, amazingly scented candles from La-Tee-Da, and Extra
Virgin Body Products, the newly launched skincare and body line for both men and women.
When they weren't collecting goodies, celebrities like Rex
Lee of Entourage
and Kevin Federline's ex, Shar Jackson had their teeth whitened and enjoyed
paraffin hand wraps by the new Bella Spa in Beverly Hills. They were also
pampered with luxurious facials, massages, and eyelash extensions, and BedHead
was on hand to perform hair magic.
Of course what star doesn't need a bite to eat and drink. They had their
choice of HER Energy Drink, H2OM Water with Intention, Boresha Gourmet
Coffee, Fully Loaded Tea and cocktails to wash down the different chipotle sauces
served with chips from The Art of Chipotle, the new Dr. Melina Protein
Bars that is available in three delicious flavors, and cookies from Marius
Morsels.
The event benefited Invisible
Children, an organization that helps end violence
towards children in Northern Uganda and spcaLA, which brings about positive
changes for animals

Info on past events/testimonials:
We have completed another successful LA Film Actors/Writers/Filmmakers Conference during the Los Angeles Film Festival. All the actors auditioned for a SAG Limited Exhibition Feature Film and some commercial print work upcoming with John Manning Photography. Filmmakers and writers had the opportunity to pitch name producers and directors and one film is already in foreign pre-sales negotiation in Germany and in France.
We believe in the whole package. We've created a one-of-a-kind , intimate, fast-forward , Acting, Screenwriters, Producers , and Filmmakers Conference. It is an excellent learning and networking tool for both practicing and aspiring professionals. It is taught by a group of prominent experts in the fields of Acting, Scriptwriting, Producing, Financing, Casting, Packaging, PR, and Management, complemented by pitch sessions, film screenings at a renowned International Film Festival, their after-film networking parties, guild-sponsored panel discussions, and meetings arranged with industry. Participants will get help in creating and presenting their projects in group sessions and individual consultations. As the Conference always runs in conjunction with a film festival, participants have many opportunities to meet celebrities and powerbrokers, and make important connections to jumpstart their careers while building your resume with LA credits. We teach you how to become Proactive in your career endeavors. An indie video/film producer will be filming segments of the conference, so if you want some footage for your actors reel, website, or PR, it will be available.
What past attendees are saying about this extraordinary opportunity:
"Life-changing". L.L. , Model/Actress, Temecula, CA.
Thanks, it really helped me get focused. I am already in an infommercial and TV commerical. I want to attend more. H.Dill, Model/Actress/Licensed Agency Owner, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Chicago.
"Debbie rocks." T. Murnane, Writer/Poet, Boston, MA.
"..she's a tireless worker"... Michael Chase Walker. Power Screenwriting, Author,former head of Children's Programming. CBS. Writer/Tantric Counselor, Colorado.
Deb, you are amazing! Several doors have opened up already, and now I feel better prepared to walk through them. J.Joy, Model/Actress, Las Vegas
What worked most for me was that we were a small group of people with diverse backgrounds that Debbie magically seemed to know we would work well as a group.Debbie brought in extraordinary professionals from all aspects of the industry to lead the workshops. That along with the backdrop of the networking possibilities of the Film Festival have equipped me with the tools to bring my career to the next level! D. Loomer, Actress/ Resolute Pictures, Canada/CA.
Thanks, the conference was fantastic and it helped focus my endeavors, Thanks to your screenwriting coaches I have made major adjustments to my screenplay. Paul E, Writer/Filmmaker, Riverside, CA.
Debbie Durkin put together a very informative seminar. I had a tremendous experience with Charles Carroll. My time with him should prove to be invaluable. There were many informative speakers and plenty of information to be absorbed by all. Michael Levine was inspirational. Debbie is a fireball of energy. She keeps up a tremendous pace. Often times we joked that she should "switch to decaf" not knowing she usually drinks decaf. Russell H, Commodity Films, Sarasota, Florida.
"I felt that the conference had so much information regarding the business, that I couldn't take notes quick enough. I was particularly inspired and motivated by Michael Levine. His words of wisdom about packaging yourself and the three magic "o"s was in itself well worth going to the conference. Thank you Deb also for having Endres Hules and Charles Carroll. Indeed extremely knowledgeable men in the business."
S. Solis, Actor, Los Angeles/Chicago.
