Emmy Award Winner Carol Lee Espy Completes Narration for Westinghouse Film


Pittsburgh, PA - December 3, 2007- Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that Emmy award winner Carol Lee Espy has completed narration for the upcoming film, Westinghouse, which will be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Pre-orders for the film are already being taken through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. Click here for a sneak preview of the film.

Carol Lee Espy is a TV/radio host for KDKA Radio, which was the first commercial radio station in the country. Originally owned by Westinghouse until the company's merger with CBS in 1996, the station made history by airing their first broadcast from the Westinghouse "K" Building in East Pittsburgh in 1920.

Espy is also a singer, songwriter, and producer whose voice can be heard on national PBS productions. In 2001 she helped to launch "On Q", a news magazine at WQED Multimedia in Pittsburgh, and became the voice of WQED. Since then she has won two Mid-Atlantic Emmys for her writing and producing and seven nominations for writing/producing and music composition.

"We are excited to have the talented Carol Lee Espy on board as narrator of Westinghouse. It's quite fitting that she is associated with our film given the Westinghouse and KDKA connection. Her voice brings the story of George Westinghouse to life," said Producer/Director Mark Bussler, "And since Pittsburgh celebrates its 250th anniversary next year, we are honored to be releasing a film about this great innovator who made such an impact on our city and the world."

Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality and conflict with Thomas Edison. George Westinghouse is considered America's greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Edison, and win.

His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of electric power and the Westinghouse air brake is considered one of the most important inventions in history. Automobile shock absorbers, railroad signaling and the modern day weekend all owe their existence to the man who Andrew Carnegie called "A genius who can't be downed."

His spirit lived on for decades when his former companies created the golden age of American-made appliances, machines and technologies. Westinghouse Electric dominated the 1939 World's Fair with Elektro, the talking robot, and the Battle of the Centuries dishwashing contest. The "You can be SURE...if it's Westinghouse" slogan was used in ads that featured Ronald Reagan promoting home appliances.

Westinghouse may be most famous for the massive companies that he created, but the man called "Uncle George" was a reserved, creative giant who went out of his way to treat his workforce with dignity and respect. He was an honest millionaire in the days of robber barons, an optimist in the days of skeptics and a generous CEO from whom today's executives can learn.

Westinghouse was filmed in cooperation with the George Westinghouse Museum and features rare and never before seen footage, industrial films and photos previously buried deep within the Westinghouse archives. Filmed in High Definition, the film includes interviews with George Westinghouse Museum Executive Director, Edward J. Reis, and William H. Terbo, the grand nephew of visionary genius Nikola Tesla and executive secretary of the Tesla Memorial Society, Inc.

Mark Bussler's credits include EXPO - Magic of the White City narrated by Gene Wilder, World War 1 - American Legacy narrated by David Carradine, Horses of Gettysburg narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell, Gettysburg and Stories of Valor narrated by Keith Carradine and Johnstown Flood narrated by Richard Dreyfuss.

There is something simply mystical about train stations. A walk through the corridors of one of these magnificent buildings is like stepping back in time.

Silent Wings Film Screening Portrays Critical Role of WWII Glider Pilots at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force


Dayton, OH - October 16, 2007 - The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will feature a screening of Silent Wings – The American Glider Pilots of WWII at 10 a.m. on Nov. 10 in the Carney Auditorium.

Narrated by Hal Holbrook, Silent Wings reveals the critical role gliders played in World War II offensives. Through rare archival footage and photographs, the film places the audience right at the center of the action in the dangerous world of the American glider pilot.

During World War II, 6,000 young Americans volunteered to fly large unarmed cargo gliders into battle. For these glider pilots, every mission was critical. It was their task to repeatedly risk their lives landing the men and tools of war deep within enemy-held territory, often in complete darkness. Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts.

Distributed by Inecom Entertainment Company, the film includes interviews with former National WWII Glider Pilots Association, Inc. Chairman Michael J. Samek, surviving glider veterans and legendary journalists Andy Rooney and Walter Cronkite, who flew into Holland with the 101st Airborne Division in 1944.

New York congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy who sponsored a House Resolution honoring glider pilots said, “For nearly 50 years, our nation knew very little about these courageous men. They are finally receiving the recognition they deserve through the release of Silent Wings and passage of a House Resolution in their name.”

No tickets are necessary for this free film screening. Doors to the Carney Auditorium open at 9 a.m. More information about the film is available at http://www.silentwingsfilm.com/.

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is located on Springfield Street, six miles northeast of downtown Dayton. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day).

For more information, contact the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at (937) 255-8046, ext. 490.
