Recent release “Bedside Manners for Physicians and Everybody Else: What They Don’t Teach in Medical School (Or Any Other School)” from Covenant Books author Scott Abramson, MD, is chock full of stories from inside the examination room, stories that exemplify the gamut of communication: the good, the bad, and the ugly, and stories that exemplify the scourge of physician burnout and its possible healings.

SAN MATEO, Calif. – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Scott Abramson, MD, a physician with four decades of hands-on experience, has completed his new book, “Bedside Manners for Physicians and Everybody Else: What They Don’t Teach in Medical School (Or Any Other School)”:  a compilation of entertaining and inspirational stories told from the physician perspective about communication, lessons learned, not just in the medical field but in any arena when humans talk to other humans.

Fulton Books author Trudi Pippin, a proud grandmother who holds a lifelong love for nature, has completed her most recent book “If Trees Could Talk”: an imaginative tale that dares to ask what trees would say if they had the ability to speak.

Published by Fulton Books, Trudi Pippin’s book is a charming and captivating story that encourages readers to use their imaginations as they follow the lives of trees throughout the year. From chatting about the children playing to speaking of the changing weather and the spooky bats flying at night, the trees have quite a bit to talk about if given the chance, and through Pippin’s writing and the reader’s imagination, they finally can.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “If Trees Could Talk” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

CEDAR CITY, Utah – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Kareli Loeza, a Mexican American woman born and raised in California and a certified clinical medical assistant, has completed her most recent book “As Fiery as the Sun, as Moody as the Moon”: a contemplative and profound poetry collection.

“The lotus is a beautiful, colorful flower that typically grows in the filthiest of swamps, blooming out of the mud. When the load of the world starts to weigh heavy, pick up this book and read yourself into another world,” writes author Kareli Loeza. “A world where you can find some comfort in knowing you are not alone. Even in your darkest moments, even on your worst days, someone else out there begs the stars just as you are.

“Help yourself to the sensations each entry brings you and leave behind the worry of tomorrow if only for a moment. When I first started writing, it was just an outlet for me to unleash all I felt inside. I was stuck in such a dark place mentally and emotionally. I felt as if I was dragging my feet through the mud. I wanted that to show in my writing.

“To be quite honest, I wanted anyone who read my entries to feel that darkness seeping through every word. Then along the way, the universe had a special new journey waiting for me. Once I accepted this new road, I began to heal myself, and slowly I began to feel other colors, and from the mud, I was buried in, I started to bloom like the lotus flower I was always meant to be.”

Published by Fulton Books, Kareli Loeza’s book captures the author’s personal and introspective emotions about life’s many twists and turns. Through her writing, the author hopes to show readers that everyone has a different path in life and that it is possible to overcome the dark times.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “As Fiery as the Sun, as Moody as the Moon” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Southern California Cinema Event to Spotlight 23 Films from Ireland and Host US Premiere of Ireland’s Oscar Submission

2022 Newport Beach Film Festival
Irish Spotlight Screenings and Event, October 16, \nA Celebration of Irish Film and Creativity

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – October 5, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The 23rd annual Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) will present the largest celebration of Irish Cinema in North America during its eight-day run (Oct. 13-20, 2022) in Southern California. Highlights include an Irish Showcase event, red carpet premieres, 10 Irish feature-length films, the U.S. premiere of Ireland’s foreign Oscar submission, 13 Irish short films and the participation of Irish filmmakers and dignitaries.

On Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022, the Festival will present its Irish Spotlight, an evening celebration of Irish cinema and culture. The event will feature the premiere of three highly anticipated Irish films, The Ghost of Richard Harris, The Quiet Girl and Joyride, followed by a festive celebration of Irish culture and cuisine. The Irish Spotlight films will screen at Edwards Big Newport (300 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA). The post-screening celebration will take place at Muldoon’s Irish Pub (202 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA) and will feature live music and hosted hors d’oeuvres. 

The Festival will host the North American Premiere of The Ghost of Richard Harris directed by Adrian Sibley and starring Jared Harris, Damien Harris, and Jamie Harris. Perhaps the greatest actor Ireland has produced, the once famous Hollywood star and notorious hellraiser Richard Harris still lives in the hearts of his countrymen and his three sons who have thought about him every day, since his unexpected death 20 years ago. They are still in search of, and argue about, who he really was—a complex and flawed genius. 

The Festival will present the U.S. Premiere of the award-winning film The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin), written and directed by Colm Bairéad. Selected as Ireland’s Oscar submission for 2023 Best International Feature, The Quiet Girl stars Catherine Clinch, Carrie Crowley and Andrew Bennett. Set in rural Ireland in the early 1980s, this powerful film reflects the gentle strength of family in all its forms. A quiet, neglected girl is sent away from her dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one.

The Irish Showcase program will feature the U.S. Premiere of Joyride, directed by Emer Reynolds and starring Olivia Colman, Charlie Reid, Lochlann O’Mearáin, Olwen Fouéré, David Pearse, and Aislín McGucklin. The film follows Joy, a train wreck on an adventure who is ready to give away her newborn baby. Joined by a cheeky street urchin, they are two diamonds in the rough on the run.

In addition to the Irish Showcase selections, the Festival will screen a number of feature narrative, documentary and short films representing the strongest contemporary Irish cinema. 

The Festival will present the Southern California premiere of The Banshees of Inisherin, directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan, David Pearse and Pat Shortt. On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, delivering an ultimatum that leads to alarming consequences for both of them.

Directed by Frank Berry, the Irish immigration drama Aisha stars Letitia Wright and Josh O’Connor. While caught for years in Ireland’s immigration system, Aisha Osagie develops a close friendship with former prisoner Conor Healy. This friendship soon looks to be short-lived as Aisha’s future in Ireland comes under threat. Aisha will be making its west coast premiere at the Festival. 

The psychological thriller from Ireland Nocebo, directed by Lorcan Finnegan, delves into topics about consumerism, human exploitation, the fast-paced fashion industry, and the power of the brain and the decision of whether to hurt or heal the physical body. Nocebo stars Eva Green, Mark Strong and Chai Fonacier.

In the Irish drama Róise and Frank, (Mo Ghrá Buan), directed by Rachel Moriarty and Peter Murphy, Irish actress Bríd Ní Neachtain plays a widow who has given up on life and becomes convinced that a stray dog is the reincarnation of her Hurling-loving husband.

Directed by Luke Hanlon, The Troubles, a Dublin Story stars Ray Malone, Adam Redmond, Wayne Byrne, William Delaney, Sarah Hayden and Sophia Adli. Two young Dublin brothers must navigate loyalty, honor, and the dangerous world of republicanism as they fuel the Northern war machine—by any means necessary.

The Irish surf documentary Keep it A Secret, directed by Sean Duggan and featuring Willie Britton and Kevin Cavey, will play in the Festival’s Action Sports Film Series. In 1972, every international sporting event in Ireland was canceled, except for one. Keep It A Secret recounts the inspiring true story of the dawn of Irish surfing and how the sport’s brave pioneers found peace in the surf during the most violent years of The Troubles.

Writer and director Lila Schmitz brings her award-winning documentary, The Job of Songs, to the Newport Beach Film Festival. This highly acclaimed film focuses on Doolin, an isolated village teetering on the western edge of Ireland, where a community of musicians seeks joy and connection through music as it faces a modernizing world.

Films screening in the 2022 Festival Irish Short Programs include An Irish Goodbye, Bad Boy Buck, Bestial Ones, Burn it All, Faces, First Date, Imbas Forosnai, Mildly Different, Not My Sister, Regular Rabbit, The Oubliette, Throw Your Heart Over First and Warts & All.

The Newport Beach Film Festival Irish Showcase is presented by Guinness and supported by Culture Ireland, Screen Ireland, Tourism Ireland and The Joseph A. Lynch Trust in partnership with Consulate General of Ireland – Los Angeles, Aer Lingus, The Irish Herald, Irish Arts & Entertainment, Irish Film and Television Academy, Irish Film Institute, Galway Film Fleadh, Irish American Magazine, Kerrygold, Celtic Nations Magazine, Irish Screen America, Ireland Week, Irish Fair Foundation, and Muldoon’s Irish Pub. 

“The strength of Irish cinema is reflected in the diverse and broad range of features and shorts included as part of this year’s spotlight. From the U.S. premiere of An Cailín Ciúin  (The Quiet Girl), Ireland’s entry for Best International Feature at Oscars 2023, to the heart-warming and moving story of grief and loss in Rosie and Frank, these are stories that will leave no one untouched nor in any doubt as to the talent, originality and imaginativeness within Irish film. Newport Beach Film Festival continues to be a true celebration of film and the showcase of exceptional stories,” stated Marcella Smyth, Consul General of Ireland – South Western United States.

“We are proud to support the Newport Beach Film Festival as an international sponsor and to see this 23rd edition reinforce its strong ties with Irish cinema. We are absolutely delighted that Festival attendees will be able to see some of the best films that Irish film, documentary and shorts have to offer this year, which are a strong representative of the creativity of Irish cinema in 2022,” stated Louise Ryan, Head of Marketing & Communications, Screen Ireland.

“Newport Beach Film Festival is well-known for platforming highly-anticipated, critically acclaimed cinema, from both at home and abroad, as well as having a reputation for unearthing some real hidden gems. But it is also a unique forum for enriching cross-cultural understanding and sharing experiences through the power of cinema. Its annual Irish Spotlight is a perfect example of this—showcasing the best in New Irish cinema to its discerning audiences, as well as bringing Irish film creatives together with industry peers at the festival, and of course, reflecting the culture of the strong Irish community in Southern California,” stated Gar O’Brien, Head of Film & Television, Irish Film & Television Academy.

“The Festival is extremely proud to showcase outstanding Irish Cinema. We are honored to host the most comprehensive collection of Irish films in North America. This year’s program reflects the exceptionally strong creative talent in Ireland,” stated Gregg Schwenk, CEO of the Newport Beach Film Festival.
