RR: Stephen Seidel IMDB Fresh Face, May Mercy Lie Review

Renegade Reporting's (@RenegadeRptg) host Stephen Seidel (@StephenSeidel) is currently featured as one of 21 actors, as IMDB's Fresh Face, an esteemed honor in the entertainment community. 

May Mercy Lie, the short film produced by Seidel's Renegade Reporting, as well as Aaron Courseault's F Filmz, recently was reviewed by world renowned Emmy broadcaster and documentarian, Bob Jimenez, for Latino Weekly Review. View Link Here. As quoted by Jimenez, "Producer/Writer Stephen Seidel not only walks us into this moral cobweb, he plays the injured man with nerve tugging reality. His eyes are open one minute and closed the next: Seidel's metaphor for seeing either light or darkness."


Jimenez goes on to say, "May Mercy Lie is unmistakable in what it asks: Is mercy killing necessary and moral? Cleverly, Seidel don't answer us, choosing to end his short film in two ways. The audience makes its own choice, one that Seidel, by film's end, convinces us may not be simply circumstantial."

Renegade Reporting: Jordi Vilasuso on All My Children Finale

Renegade Reporting's (@RenegadeRptg)  with Stephen Seidel (@StephenSeidel) reported live from City 35 Programming's LA Business Today with Jordi Vilasuso on the ending of All of My Children, and the beginning of a new era.

Jordi is a daytime Emmy award winning actor (Guiding Light), who returned to All My Children as Griffin Castillo. His return, was cut off short by the ending of an era, All My Children ended after 40 years on September 23rd. Stephen Seidel was there the day he shot to capture his feelings. In addition, the industry is changing, with twitter, fan interaction, and the internet. Shows are being developed with story lines that will appease both the viewers, but also allow for fans to have say in the outcome. 

If the fans want something bad enough, the producers will most likely listen.... Hint Hint Hint Hint. Jordi still has a few years left on contract, so let's get AMC, streaming online so you can watch WHAT you want, WHEN you want it. Tweet Jordi @JordiVilasuso and @StephenSeidel with hashtag #TakeBackAMC

Renegade Reporting: Huff Post (You Made A Difference, Weird News)

Renegade Reporting's (@RenegadeRptg)  with Stephen Seidel (@StephenSeidel) was featured twice in the past month on the Huffington Post.

The first was a man on the street interview with Cain Motter about his Credit Card Artistry. That premiered in the HuffPost's Weird News Section, and highlighted the video we made for him. 
In addition, a video I created was featured on Huff Post for the You Made a Difference Campaign, started by close friend, Leslie Needleman and Scott Janssen, which thanks teachers for their diligent work within the educational process. My video was for my AP Calculus H.S. teacher, Mr. Perry, who not only studied with Jaime Escalante, an inner city LA teacher whom the movie 'Stand and Deliver' documented, but also instructed me about lifelong investing. In addition, Jerry Penacoli and many inspirational journalists have joined. Make a video for your favorite teacher too! View Article.
