Actress Leanna Chamish and filmmaker Mitch Klein recently received Smash or Trash Independent Film-making Certificates of Appreciation for their years of dedication to the craft. It is an honor to know such tremendous and talented people.

We have a FANTASTIC giveaway here at the site for the month of May! Independent producer Lee Doll of Lee Doll Film Productions has generously donated a super prize package featuring his #1 talent – actress/singer Louanna Lee. This talented young lady has been doing concert dates, talk shows, and her mystery series is now appearing on television. This is your chance to win both episode #1 and #2, two promotional posters for the mystery series, and Little Miss TNT’s first self-titled music CD!

Episode #1 is directed by Matt Barry and deals with Louanna Lee and her friend Victoria stumbling across a race fixing scheme down at the local horse tracks.
