Independent Filmmaker and Tech Entrepreneur Jeffrey Ikahn Announces New Feature Film Candy Flip (2026) and Social-Tech Ventures
[ad_1]
Candy Flip is a “dramady” feature produced through Argonaut Media Group, Latigo Films in association with Handshake Partners Entertainment and directed by Ikahn.
The film stars Matt Rife, Cole Carter, Jessica Belkin, and Danielle Loving.
Set amid the electric chaos of an exclusive influencer party in Los Angeles, Candy Flip follows a night where fame, illusion, and reality collide. When a group of social media stars and creative elites experiment with a candy-flip — the potent fusion of LSD and MDMA — their euphoric escape turns into an existential free fall. As the night unfolds, filters fade and facades fracture. Beneath the glitter and neon, each character confronts the truth they’ve been performing to avoid: their doubt, loneliness, and desperate need to be seen.
The main character’s trip becomes a descent into self-awareness — a fever dream of memories, fears, and fantasies colliding in hallucinatory clarity. Surrounded by peers who live for attention but starve for connection, they begin to question what’s real, what’s curated, and what remains when the likes disappear. In the chaos of their shared unraveling, egos dissolve, alliances crumble, and a profound realization emerges: sometimes, you have to lose your identity to find your humanity.
“Storytelling has always been about connection,” said Ikahn. “As technology evolves, so should the ways we share those stories — whether through film, social platforms, or entirely new mediums.”
In addition to his filmmaking career, Ikahn is currently building technology companies in the social and media space, developing platforms that empower independent artists, creators, and filmmakers to grow authentic audiences and monetize their creative influence. His work integrates art, entrepreneurship, and innovation — shaping how culture, content, and connection intersect.
Ikahn’s mission with Argonaut Media Group and his upcoming ventures is to bridge the worlds of entertainment and technology — empowering creators to tell impactful stories and audiences to experience them in transformative new ways.

Author Tonya Williams’s New Children’s Book Tells a Rescue Puppy’s Story Through the Lens of Her Wisconsin Ranch
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Tonya Williams has released "The Adventures of Loki and Friends," a children’s book narrated by a rescue puppy named Loki who leaves an uncertain start in Texas behind and finds a home on a working farm. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing and is available now in bookstores and through major online retailers.
The story is told in Loki’s own voice. He arrives at his new home not knowing anyone, and the book follows him as he meets the farm’s other animals, including a donkey named Amos who becomes his closest friend, along with goats, horses, cattle, and potbellied pigs. According to the publisher’s description, each of these animals carries a story of its own, and Loki’s arrival becomes part of a larger web of relationships built around rescue, belonging, and gratitude.
Williams draws on her own background for the material. She grew up on a farm and now runs Never Done Ranch, a 200-acre property in Wisconsin, with her husband, raising cattle, horses, goats, and other livestock alongside family pets. That hands-on experience with animals, she says, shaped how she thinks about faith and resilience, and it’s the frame the book uses throughout: animals as both companions and, in Williams’s telling, instruments of spiritual lesson.
In her statement, Williams remarked that "Animals have been God’s instrument in my life to teach me about love, forgiveness, and purpose." "I wanted to share these lessons through Loki’s story so that children everywhere could understand that their pets are not just companions: they are teachers of the heart."
The book is categorized as juvenile nonfiction-adjacent fiction aimed at young, animal-loving readers, and is pitched as a faith-centered take on the familiar rescue-dog narrative, with the ranch setting giving it a specific, lived-in backdrop rather than a generic farm.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the appeal here less in the plot than in the setting: a real working ranch, run by the author herself, lending a children’s book about rescue animals an unusual degree of authenticity.

Millbrook Artist Betty Kiser Publishes Devotional on Faith Through Life’s Transitions
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Millbrook resident Betty Kiser, who works as an artist and writer, has released the devotional "Trusting God with Your Change of Seasons" via Christian Faith Publishing.
Through a Christian faith perspective, the devotional explores significant life transitions including career changes, empty nests, relocation, and shifts in marital status, per the publisher’s statement. Kiser draws on Romans 8:28 and Joshua 1:9 throughout, using those passages to argue that age shouldn’t be treated as a barrier to pursuing new direction later in life.
Kiser has spent roughly six decades working as an artist, writer, mentor and teacher, the announcement states. She now works from what she calls her Forever Home and Art Gallery, a space she describes as combining her art practice with her religious life. "My deepest desire is to help others see that every change, every season shift, is an opportunity to deepen our trust in God and discover His faithfulness anew," Kiser said in the announcement.
The book is available in hardcover and paperback through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores, as well as directly through Christian Faith Publishing’s website.
Studio CarryOnHarry covers independently published and small-press religious titles because they rarely get mainstream review attention despite reaching dedicated readerships — this one looks like a fairly typical entry in the inspirational devotional genre, aimed squarely at readers navigating midlife or later-life change.
