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.

"George Westinghouse is possibly the most important American of all time who has been lost to history," said Mark Bussler, producer and director of the film. "He is the role model that American students need today to face the engineering trials of the future, and we are excited at the interest we've already seen in the film and look forward to an entertaining and educational event at the History Center."

In the fall of 2007, the George Westinghouse Museum officially merged with the History Center. As a Smithsonian affiliated museum and Pennsylvania's largest history museum, the History Center tells the complete Westinghouse story to the broadest possible audience, preserving the Westinghouse legacy for future generations.

The History Center's collection includes signature artifacts such as the Westinghouse families' gold trimmed dinner glasses and Tiffany plates used during elegant dinner parties; patent models showing various design implementations for the Westinghouse air brake; and a Mazda light bulb display that documents the important role Westinghouse played in lighting the world at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

"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."

Following the film's premiere, a group of panelists will answer questions from the audience and discuss the life and contributions of George Westinghouse, as well as the making of the film. The panel will include:

• Mark Bussler, producer/director, Westinghouse


• Carol Lee Espy, narrator, Westinghouse

• David Cope, World's Fair historian

Forgotten Role Model George Westinghouse on Screen for First Time

Pittsburgh, PA - March 13, 2008 - George Westinghouse is considered America's greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison, and win.

His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of electric power. The Westinghouse air brake is considered one of the most important inventions in history and saved countless lives.

Writer, Director and Producer Mark Bussler has produced the first and only documentary film about George Westinghouse that brings this forgotten role model to the screen. (Information and trailer available at www.westinghousefilm.com)

“George Westinghouse is possibly the most important American of all time who has been lost to history. We celebrate inventors like Howard Hughes and Thomas Edison because they were dramatic and eccentric individuals.

Westinghouse was a kind, reserved engineer, inventor, businessman, husband and father. He wasn’t eccentric - but he did more to advance to United States’ industrial power than any person who ever lived.

At 22 years of age he saw thousands of lives lost in the railroading industry and created the air brake. He worked with Nikola Tesla and brought practical electricity into our homes.

Westinghouse built companies that manufactured generators, turbines and railroading devices. He created tens of thousands of jobs and built entire communities around them. Kids today could relate him to Bill Gates - yet without Westinghouse there would be no computers.

Today the world is electrified at a rate never before seen in human existence and most power is still generated by methods that were around 100 years ago. George Westinghouse is the role model that America’s students need today to face the engineering trials of the future.” says Bussler.

Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary that 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 the following:

• Edward J. Reis, executive director, George Westinghouse Museum (1998-2007)
• William H. Terbo, grandnephew of visionary genius Nikola Tesla
• Quentin R. Skrabec, Jr., PhD, author, George Westinghouse: Gentle Genius
• Former Westinghouse employees

The film is currently available on DVD via preorder on Amazon.com and will be on sale at Internet retailers and retail stores nationwide on April 8th. Additionally, Westinghouse will premiere on screen at the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 1 pm. A panel discussion will follow.

Inecom Entertainment Sets Street Date of April 8, 2008 for Westinghouse

Pittsburgh, PA - September 12, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that its new film, Westinghouse, will be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Preorders for the film are already being taken through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. Click here for a sneak preview of the film.

Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality and achievements. George Westinghouse is considered America’s greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas 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 an interview with George Westinghouse Museum Executive Director, Edward J. Reis.

Director 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.

Amidst a surge of interest in retro gaming, Classic Game Room - The Rise and Fall of the Internet's Greatest Video Game Review Show takes a comedic look back at the show that started it all.
