7-Time Award-Winning Young OC Actress Will Appear in Upcoming Sci-Fi with Anthony Michael Hall


Los Angeles, CA, December 08, 2022 –(CarryOnHarry.com)–Β Kayden Tokarski, a 13-year-old Orange County, CA actress who just won her 7th best acting award and plays a young Julia Roberts’ character in “Gaslit,” will play a mean girl in the upcoming ’80s sci-fi, “Roswell Delirium,” starring Anthony Michael Hall.

Kayden plays the role of Becky in the upcoming sci-fi psychological drama that is set in the 1980s and pays homage to all the beloved films and shows from that era. Directed by Richard Bakewell, the film stars Dee Wallace, known for her motherly roles in 1980s hits like E.T. and Cujo; The Breakfast Club’s Anthony Michael Hall; The Facts of Life’s Lisa Whelchel; Die Hard’s Reggie VelJohnson; and Flash Gordan’s Sam Jones. “Roswell Delirium” will also introduce viewers to up-and-comers Kylee Levien, who plays the lead; Ashton Solecki; and Arielle Bodenhausen.

The film takes place in Roswell in the ’80s when the Soviets launched multiple nuclear attacks on the USA. Two years later, radiation poisoning is at its peak, unbeknownst to the population, and a magical place, called, “Spacerock,” has emerged after the destruction of Area 51. Out of desperation, people have come to believe that this land will heal their loved ones but only if they surrender them to the aliens. While the film is centered around the aftermath of the Cold War, it is ultimately about the complex relationship between a mother and her daughter and how they navigate life post-nuclear attack.

“What I’m most proud of is the remarkable performances we received from our 80s stars, and even more so from the fresh faces that the audience will fall in love with for years to come,” Director Richard Bakewell said.

In addition to filming “Roswell Delirium,” which will be released in July 2023, Kayden recently won her seventh Best Young Acting Award since 2021. She won five best young actress awards for her role in the independent film, “I Miss Her, Too.” She won an international Gold Best Young Actor award and Silver Best Acting Duo award from the Independent Shorts Awards, and a Best Young Actress from Vegas Shorts. On September 29, she won a Best Child/Young Actress award from the Indie Short Fest Los Angeles International Film Festival and on November 12, she won a Best Actress Award from LA Independent Film Channel. Last year, Kayden won two Best Young Actress awards for her role in the independent film, “Message from the Mermaids.” Kayden won an international Gold Best Young Actress award from the Independent Shorts Film Festival and a Best Young Actress award from the Venice Shorts Film Festival.

Along with starring in several films including “My Melancholy Baby” on Amazon Prime and playing the role of 13-year-old Martha Mitchell (Julia Roberts) on β€œGaslit,” Kayden is an advocate. She served as keynote speaker for the 34th annual Walk Against Drugs in Orange County last year – spreading the message to tweens and teens to say NO to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vaping – and was also a β€œcelebrity” speaker for last year’s Red Cross LA fundraiser that also featured Mario Lopez. Kayden was also part of the Joyful Child Foundation’s 2019 (founded and led by Erin Runnion) “Be Brave, Be Safe” pilot aimed at empowering kids against predators.

Eric Nolan Transitions From R&B Stage to Film Production With ‘Faithful Intentions’ Release

Eric Nolan, a longtime member of R&B group The O’Jays, and Ohio filmmaker James Ford have launched the national release of "Faithful Intentions," an independent feature now streaming on Amazon Prime Video through Silver Line Entertainment, according to a release from JAE Films.

The film is a production of JAE Films, the Youngstown, Ohio-based company Nolan and Ford co-own. Per the release, the company was founded to produce original, character-driven films outside the traditional studio system, and "Faithful Intentions" is described as its most ambitious release to date.

Nolan served as executive producer and one of the film’s story developers, per the release. "Storytelling doesn’t begin or end with music," Nolan said. "Whether it’s a song or a film, you’re trying to make people feel something. Faithful Intentions gave us the opportunity to tell a story that stays with you long after it’s over."

Ford co-wrote, directed and executive produced the film, leading it from development through national distribution, according to the release. "Independent filmmaking demands resilience," Ford said. "Every challenge becomes an opportunity to be more creative. We’re proud of what we’ve built together, and we’re excited that audiences across the country now have the opportunity to experience Faithful Intentions."

The release describes the film’s plot as centered on trust, deception, loyalty and redemption, following characters whose choices carry irreversible consequences.

JAE Films says it has several new projects in development and describes itself as an emerging independent production company based in Youngstown.

Dangerous ‘Graveyard of the Pacific’ Gets Its Story Told in New Film

A new documentary about the Columbia River Bar, the treacherous stretch of water known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific," premieres August 4 on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, according to a release from Resonance Productions. The film, "Taming The Mouth," launches on Coast Guard Day, which the release notes was chosen to mark the service’s history of rescue work at the river’s mouth.

The Columbia River Bar, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific, has long been considered one of the most dangerous maritime entrances in the world because of shifting sandbars, unpredictable currents and severe storms, per the release. "Taming The Mouth" covers the nearly 150-year effort to make the passage safer through construction and upkeep of the Columbia River jetty system, and follows U.S. Coast Guard crews who still conduct search-and-rescue operations there today.

The release states the Columbia River system now supports an estimated $24 billion in annual commerce, linking the Pacific Northwest to global trade. The film draws on historic imagery, expert interviews and firsthand accounts from engineers, historians and maritime workers.

"People often don’t realize how much is at stake at the mouth of the Columbia," Bruce Jones, executive director of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, said in the release. "This film helps tell the story of how this dangerous stretch of water was transformedβ€”and why that work still matters today."

Filmmaker Brett Eichenberger of Portland-based Resonance Productions said the documentary is "about resilience, sacrifice, innovation, and the people who have continually risen to the challenge of one of nature’s most powerful forces," according to the release.

The project was supported by the Columbia River Maritime Museum and regional partners including the Port of Vancouver USA, J.E. McAmis and Shaver Transportation, per the release. After its digital release, the film is scheduled to screen next month at the Wild Rivers Film Festival in Brookings, Oregon. Additional community screenings have not yet been announced.
