 By Laura Medina

In this age of streaming and post-COVID quarantine world, this post “This Ends With This,” “Regretting You” young adult movie catering to middle aged Millennials, who were teenaged parents to current teens, searching for a do-over, “Regretting You” pulling all the stops in promotional tour.

On its opening night, the cast warned up the audience with a free necklace, designed by one of its stars, McKenna Grace, a collectible poster, then a cast Questions & Answers session followed by a short two-songs, from the soundtrack, mini concert by rising Gen-Z Americana singer-songwriter duos.

That’s how you snag then keep your audience in the theater to streaming market, that becoming increasingly competitive young adult movie and tv market.

It really helps in the finance budget when one of the scenes is set in AMC theater as the workplace for aspiring movie student, working as one of its employees. Cross-marketing helps out a lot, word to the wise.

Don’t want to spoil the surprise, the normal young adult teen characters are relegated to secondary plot line, to their Millennial parents seeking second chances for an alternative life of “what ifs.”

Oh, the wise and Baby Boomer country grandfather made a joke about inheriting “air.”

“Regretting You” is now pushing promotions in a new direction.

Frascati, the Roman White Wine is the Original White Wine That Goes Well With Everything.

By Laura Medina

 

They say the first wine was invented in Rome, where the volcanic soil and the soft sea breeze sprout perfect wine grapes-white wine grapes.

As the Roman Empire expanded, so did the exportation of a specific white wine, Frascati.

Since it’s one of the oldest white wines, Frascati goes well with everything from savory cheese to soup to shellfish and fish to traditionally pairing it with white meat of poultry and pork to cookies and desserts.

Go classic, drink Frascati, an Italian no-brainer.

Curtis Stone’s “Field Trip” is Returning After 2-Years Hiatus with Hong Kong Premiere Episode.

 By Laura Medina

After a two years hiatus, Curtis Stone’s foodie-culture-travel show, “Field Trip” is returning.

Starting back with an Hong Kong episode.

For the screening, he brought Hong Kong’s VEA chef with him.

Like any foodie tourist, VAE chef went crazy gobbling down every Mexican dish there is in Los Angeles.

Curtis went on to say, him doing “Field Trip” was nothing new nor off the cuff.

It was an evolutionary tv trip for him.

Way back in Australia, after interning with the demanding Chef Marco Pierre White, Curtis starred in Australia only, “Surfing the Menu,” a proto-food-travel show.

That ignited his tv career.

He went from local-schmocal soon to be cult tv show, “Surfing the Menu,” to his FOX Network judging cooking competition battle shows to “Take Home Chef” to his current series, “Field Trip.”

Curtis admitted “Field Trip” started simply humble, modest, and quick.

He, his sommelier, and assistant chef would always on trips to discover new dishes and flavors for new dishes and wines.

In 2019, a camera operator found out what they’re doing then he quickly jumped right in, with them, saying this makes for a great tv show. They immediately hired a sound guy.

This was how “Field Trip” started.

The first iteration of “Field Trip” last for two years from 2019 to 2021.

Now, it’s back with a premiere episode, “Hong Kong.”

It was as a delicious wake-up and a welcoming Malibu hospitality.

The breakfast buffet woke people up at 9am.

Chance The Rapper debut new songs, from his upcoming album and revisited the classics around 10am, as fans sip coffee and orange juice, noshing and nibbling on scrambled eggs and French Toast.

Chance softly and honestly segued into what’s happening now in his hometown dealing ICE, “Chicago is a reactive city.”

Then, he opened up about his parents starting out as political activists where dad wound up working for Barack Obama.

While working for Obama, his dad taught his aspiring rapper son how to psychographic target market his audience.

Way back when, Chance’s dad told him to make a list of all and every Facebook fan he has, then jot down which school they go to.

Then, his dad would make him wait outside his Facebook fans’ school to pass his CDs, promotional ads for his upcoming shows, and swag as his Facebook fans were released from school. Schools that Chance didn’t go but his dad made him go to his fans to build his business and career. Smart dad.

To catch up with his audience of fans at Aviator Nation Dreamland breakfast, Chance told them he’s been in Ghana, where he lectured on Marcus Garvey and the link between African-American heritage and history with Ghana.

Chance the Rapper’s morning breakfast buffet, mini performance and lecture nourish the brain, the soul, and stomach with food and intellectual nutrition.
