The business of independent motion picture production and distribution – a truly collaborative process – reaches its peak every year at the American Film Market. Over 8,000 industry leaders converge in Santa Monica for eight days of deal-making, screenings, seminars, networking and parties. Participants come from over 80 countries and include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners, producers, writers, the world’s press all those who provide services to the motion picture industry. Founded in 1981, the American Film Market (AFM) quickly became the premiere global marketplace where Hollywood’s decision-makers and trendsetters all gather under one roof. Unlike a film festival, the AFM is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed. In just eight days, more than $1 billion in deals will be sealed — on both completed films and those in every stage of development and production — making AFM the must-attend industry event. The AFM transforms Santa Monica. The Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel is converted into a busy marketplace and all 29 screens on the Santa Monica Promenade and the surrounding community become AFM screening rooms. Participants may view more than 500 screenings of 300+ films – 29 new films every two hours – the majority of them world or U.S. premieres. Titles range from big budget blockbusters that will be released by the major studios in the U.S., to lower budget art and genre films recognized at international film festivals, all destined for theaters and television around the world. With 8,000 attendees, 500 screenings, and the industry’s largest Conference series, the American Film Market continues to be the pivotal destination for independent filmmakers and business people from all over the world.

The Camera Obscura Art Lab is a place to learn salsa moves, enhance your blogging skills, design a font, mix a perfume, fuse glass, solder a circuitboard or tile a mosaic table, among many other possibilities! It all happens at 1450 Ocean Avenue in Palisades Park, steps from the entrance to the Santa Monica Pier. This midcentury building houses the iconic Camera Obscura mechanism and offers lovely views of the ocean as well as a multitude of activities, as well as access to great restaurants and easy parking around the corner in the public structures. You might even take a turn on the ferris wheel down on the boardwalk after a class! All arts, crafts and movement classes are for adults, at prices from free to three figures and ranging from two hour events to multiweek workshops. 1450 Ocean Ave sits on the former site of the North Beach Station of the Pacific Electric railway, now Palisades Park, between Broadway and Santa Monica Blvd. Philanthropist Marcellus L. Joslyn gifted the building in 1955 to the city of Santa Monica in memory of his wife. Designed by architect Weldon J. Fulton, it sports exterior walls clad in chunky Palos Verdes stone, glass walls, sloping roofs, and projecting canopies and rafter beams, to create a distinctively midcentury appearance. Fulton also created the swooping font spelling out “Camera Obscura” and camera on tripod logo on the front. Similar features are found at the Montana and Fairview branch libraries and at the Zucky’s building on Wilshire Blvd., also designed by Fulton. The Camera Obscura itself is quite a bit older – it was built by Robert F. Jones, nephew of Santa Monica city founder Senator John P. Jones, in 1898 and was moved up from the Beach.

In the U.S., more than 2 of 3 adults are classified as overweight or obese. Some studies project the U.S. could "see its first sustained drop in life expectancy in the modern era" due to obesity. Individuals classified as overweight or obesity face many health consequences, including but not limited to: diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and respiratory problems. Many are also plagued with social, emotional, and mental troubles that stem from insecurity, ridicule and/or exclusion. Over 55 million citizens live in apartment communities across the nation, presenting a unique opportunity to efficiently and cost-effectively engage large groups of individuals and families within the convenience of their living space. Research reveals that more individuals tend to take advantage of programs and services that are available within their home community than those who need to drive to a location to access a service. Additionally, apartment residents who are highly involved in on-site programs are more likely to be satisfied with their resident experience and to prosper than those residents who have no on-site programming available to them. Although the Hapi Foundation does not have a participation requirement for the residents of the apartment communities in which it participates, it does encourage all individuals and families to engage in the programs and services conveniently available to them. The Hapi Foundation is combating the obesity epidemic and associated life-style related chronic diseases by providing individuals and families living in apartment communities with access to free health and well-being programs. Hapi partners with apartment communities throughout the United States, working with residents to identify sustainable health and wellness initiatives within their community.

Welcome! The Yoga of Sound is a systematic experiential technique that utilizes sound current and Yoga (Asana, Pranyama,Meditation and Mantra) to awaken, clear and harmonize the entire Chakra system. In working with the sound current (audible frequency) and other waves (inaudible frequency) we use vibrations that resonate with the different Chakras of the human energy system. The Yoga of Sound (a Resonant Sound based Yoga practice) was created and conceived together, organically by Sound Alchemists and Yogi Rohan. This is a concept of toning every Chakra by using the sounds at different frequencies produced by the Sacred sounds. ***Our mission is to share the pure, cosmic sound frequencies with the people who need them through the aid of yogic sound baths to bring vibrational harmony on the planet*** Peace and Love! ~Yogi Rohan Ra'jah www.theyogaofsound.org FB page: https://www.facebook.com/TheYogaOfSinusoidalResonance
