New Zealand Spotlight:
There’s a Hole in My Bucket
is part of the “Around the World in One Night” international celebration lineup featuring global independent features and shorts.
When his younger brother Mike dies of Motor Neurone Disease (known as ALS in the United States), Royd Tolkien, the risk-averse great-grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien, inherits a secret bucket list of 50 challenges he never agreed to and cannot refuse. Before his death, adrenaline-sports junkie Mike leaves one final act of love and mischief designed to drag his notoriously comfort-zone-hugging older brother into the land of thrill-seeking living.
There’s a Hole in My Bucket
follows Royd’s unexpected journey across New Zealand as he fulfills Mike’s wishes, pushing a grieving brother further than he ever imagined possible. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, with Peter Jackson, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies, and Weta Workshop along for the ride, the film is a raucous and tender story of brotherly love, grief, adventure, and living life beyond your comfort zone.Video (Trailer):

Prepare to be transported back to the birth of a legend with ELTON DOM: THE YOUNG ELTON EXPERIENCE!
This electrifying show stars 21-year-old musical prodigy Dominick Fulco, who doesn’t just sing the hits—he becomes the era-defining icon who first stormed the stage with raw energy and outrageous glamour. Backed by a powerhouse band, Elton Dom blazes through all of Sir Elton’s greatest hits with the frenetic passion of the early '70s, capturing every note, every flamboyant flick of the wrist, and every ounce of the rock 'n' roll spectacle that made Elton John a global superstar.
Forget the gentle nostalgia of later years—this is a high-voltage, piano-pounding journey to the moment the rocket first launched. It’s not a tribute; it’s a time machine. Come prepared to dance and sing the night away.
Coming to Orange County - 4 Performances Only October 16 @ 7:30PM October 17 @ 2:30PM October 17 @ 7:30PM October 18 @ 1:00PM Tickets at EltonDomLive.com, starting at $35.

Orange County residents: I am seeking participants for a graduate research study about perspectives on mountain lions. I am a graduate student in Miami University's Department of Biology through Project Dragonfly and The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
I am inviting adults age 18 or older who currently reside in Orange County, California, to participate in an anonymous online survey.
The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. You do not need any prior knowledge or experience with mountain lions to participate, and people with all perspectives are encouraged to participate. Participation is voluntary, and responses are anonymous.
