History Center and Inecom Entertainment Company

Pittsburgh, PA - April 8, 2008 - The Senator John Heinz History Center will host the world premiere of an engaging new feature-length documentary film, Westinghouse, on Sunday, April 13th at 1 p.m.

Produced and distributed by Pittsburgh-based Inecom Entertainment Company, the film focuses on the life and legacy of George Westinghouse, an integral part of Western Pennsylvania's 250-year history of innovation.

"In many ways, George Westinghouse is the archetypical Pittsburgh innovator," said Andy Masich, president and CEO of the History Center. "His contributions helped to shape Pittsburgh's 250-year history and his inventions have changed the world. As the home of the world's largest collection of Westinghouse artifacts, the History Center showcases the Westinghouse story like no other place."

The combination of Tesla's visionary genius and Westinghouse' business and manufacturing genius are what won the 'Battle of the Currents' and brought us electricity as we know it today."

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.

The Grange Fair - An American Tradition Now Available for Preorder and in Stores February 19th


Pittsburgh, PA - December 10, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that preorders for its new Emmy award-winning film, The Grange Fair - An American Tradition, are being taken via major Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. The DVD will also be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, February 19, 2008.

The Grange Fair - An American Tradition captures a vanishing piece of Americana - one of the last remaining agricultural encampment Grange fairs in the country.

For much of the last century, Grange fairs were an important part of rural life, an opportunity for isolated farm families to gather to exchange information, showcase livestock and socialize. In addition to possessing some of the trappings of a conventional county fair - agricultural vendors, livestock and produce competitions, food, rides and live performances - the Grange Fair featured in the film, operates likes a small city. It boasts almost a thousand highly coveted residential tents and a fleet of 1,300 recreational vehicles housing thousands of families. Thousands more attend to join family reunions, enjoy the midway and watch competitions.

For many participants, the fair and its competitions mark the culmination of months of work raising animals, growing produce, cooking and baking. Produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting and airing nationwide on public television, The Grange Fair - An American Tradition reveals the drama of those final nail-biting moments in which a year of work goes before the judges along with the personal triumphs and disappointments of those who participate in this unique American phenomena.

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde Garnering Positive Reviews


Pittsburgh, PA - December 6, 2007 - Looking for a unique gift for the holidays? Something funny, quirky - maybe even charming? Inecom Entertainment Company's comedic film Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde continues to garner positive reviews and may be just what the doctor ordered - pun intended!

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is a comedy about a doctor who went to film school to make a film about being a doctor. Producer/Director Dr. Ravi Godse jokes, "Making movies is not brain surgery; it is more difficult than that!"

Like many men his age, Dr. Ravi finds himself halfway through his life having not yet achieved the greatness he anticipated. Sure, he could buy a sports car or find a hot, young babe to help him through his midlife crisis, but Dr. Ravi yearns for more. His search for divine fulfillment takes him from the halls of a hospital to what he believes is his true calling - directing and producing a true "timeless classic" motion picture.

On his journey, he must cope with unscrupulous agents, reluctant colleagues, an unenthusiastic wife and even the Mafia. From the streets of Pittsburgh to the sun-swept shores of South Africa, Dr. Ravi's search takes him near and far eventually bringing him to the realization that it's not important what he does or how well he does it, as long as he just does something.

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for some rude humor. The film's ensemble cast also features American Radio Hall of Fame inductee and Sports Broadcasting legend Myron Cope and multiple Emmy-winning TV personality Dave Crawley.

Here's what just a few reviewers have said about the film:

"The influence of Woody Allen's early films on Godse's movie is unmistakable, complete with a neurotic schlemiel protagonist who directly addresses the camera, a la Annie Hall." - Ramesh Santanam, Associated Press

"A charming indie comedy with moments of absolute hilarity. Brings to mind such notable efforts as Clerks and Things to Do." - John Latchem, Home Media Magazine

"Dr. Godse is not only a man of medicine, but also a man with an abundance of humor!" - Gary West, WBVP/WMBA Morning Show

"Ravi is like the Indian Woody Allen." - The Joey Reynolds Show, WOR Radio

"Godse peppers his film with low-key jokes that work because of their eccentricities. We never feel the movie trying to be hip and quirky, which is exactly why its quirkiness succeeds."- David Cornelius, DVD Talk

"Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is enjoyable, fresh, funny, sincere and interesting - better than many other films I have seen. Utterly charming!" - Richard Lanoie, TheSeriousComedySite.com

"Well-developed storyline with some hilarious moments. This comic caper definitely gets you thinking about your achievements in life, or the lack of them!" - Aaina, Bollywoodmantra.com

"You'll be charmed by Dr. Ravi. This delightful comedy offers simple pleasures not found in most of today's mainstream releases." - Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalkReviews.com

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.

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).

Pittsburgh, PA - April 20, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company, a producer and distributor of documentary and instructional films, announced that Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII has been selected for screening at several museums during Memorial Day weekend with additional screenings planned for the future. For a current listing of film screenings, visit the Inecom events page.

The film is garnering national interest thanks to its debut on Capitol Hill and the simultaneous passage of House Resolution 42 honoring WWII glider pilots on the DVD street date. Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, Director Robert Child and National WWII Glider Pilots Association, Inc. Chairman Michael J. Samek were on hand for the events and news coverage of the Capitol Hill press conference for the film is now available at VA News courtesy of the Department of Veteran Affairs.

Narrated by acclaimed actor Hal Holbrook, the film includes interviews with surviving glider veterans and legendary journalists Andy Rooney and Walter Cronkite, who flew into Holland with the 101st Airborne Division in 1944.

From the early race to build gliders to the D-Day invasion at Normandy to Germany’s final surrender, 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 hazardous world of the American glider pilot.

Director Robert Child agreed, "When I was first told of this development by Inecom Entertainment, they began the phone call with 'Are you sitting down?'.
