The Huntsman is an Epic Pictures release that is currently in AMC Theatres and on video-on-demand (VOD). It is based on the Judith Sanders novel of the same name with Emmy Award winning Steven Jon Whritner (Repo Man) as script writer and co-producer. Frank J. Malinoski is executive producer. The Huntsman stars Shawn Ashmore (X-Men United), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost, The Purge: Election Year), Jessy Schram (Man Men, Chicago Med) and Garret Dillahunt (Fear the Walking Dead, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

"I got to see it in a couple theatres," Harris told me when I asked. "Both were with the actors and cast. We also invited our people."

The Huntsman follows an ICU (intensive care unit) nurse, played by Shawn Ashmore, who volunteers to help a coma patient, played by Garre Dillahunt who is accused of murdering six women. The suspect's wife, played by Elizabeth Mitchell, refuses to believe he is a murderer. The ICU nurse gets drawn into webs of lies, obsession and secrets all while a detective, played by Jessy Schram, is focused on stopping the killer by any means necessary. The film touches on the gray areas of morality, the limits of justice and the nature of truth.

I asked Kyle Harris to confirm that something I told someone was true, that after the film is made, there is still lots of work that happens and the Navy veteran (like me) said, "Absolutely, it's called postproduction. I like all aspects (of film production). That's the fun part. I'm there the whole time. The editor does his thing. I come into the room and we talk...I'm open. So many things change in the editing room. It still has to be hand-held every day until it gets to the big screen. Pre-production is tedious. I used to have long hair; it made me pull my hair out!!"

Harris is a native of Hawaii, but lives in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City. He has directed 17 films and produced 16. Some of those credits include Reverence and the Emmy Award winning documentary I Stand: The Guardians of the Water and Anywhere (2026). He also is known for his short films, such as Charlie Mike, Los Americanos, Prey, and Heel'D.

"Yes, the shorts were first...2013...to the summer of 2023," Kyle told me when I asked about his long list of shorts. "I use them now as proof of concept....to let them know we can pull it off. It (shorts) first started off for building my craft. Now I use shorts as proof of concept for features."

I asked Kyle Harris about the challenges of making The Huntsman and he said, "Every movie is challenging. Everyday there is a new obstacle. The Huntsman was surprisingly smooth. Most challenges were environmental. The heat and lightning shut us down. I've spent my career making low budget films (and know how to get around challenges)."

The Huntsman, aside from AMC theatres, can be seen on Fandango, Amazon Video, Google Play, Verizon TV, Comcast, Dish Net, Cox, DirecTV, Spectrum, YouTube, Sling TV and Apple TV. The Huntsman is a Plymouth Rock Entertainment, SafeHouse Films production.  www.Epic-Pictures.com www.AMCTheatres.com www.TheHuntsmanFilm.com

Dave Willner made his new move when former VP/GM Howard Mazer retired. Howard was a maverick in driving radio sales and listenership. Famous for his community outreach. During his tenure Radio One's stations, in particular 92Q Jams (WERQ-FM 92.3), were always on the streets holding and hosting events and supporting charitable community services. Today, everyone is online, which is how Willner is approaching the industry. Urban One Baltimore even has their own streaming station One Digital (YouTube, BBC Radio 1, TuneIn and iHeartRadio). Other Radio One Baltimore stations include Magic (WWIN-FM 102.3 & 92.7), Praise (WPRS-FM 104.1), Spirit (1400AM) and The Beat (WOLB -AM 1010).

"When cable first started people said it was going to be the death of ABC, NBC, etc... It became just another source," Willner pointed out when I asked. "It is the same in audio. We have to expand our reach through different platforms. Go where our audience is to connect to them."

For that David said he needs people familiar with those locations (social media).

"We need more...media salespeople with a marketing and media background," he said. "My pet-peeve with universities... the business side (sales) is not being taught."

Dave Willner met Howard Mazer in college, and they both started working at B104. Howard joined Radio One Baltimore in sales in 1992. When he became head of sales he brought on Dave who was still working at B104. So, Dave made the move and joined Radio One Baltimore in 1999 as an account executive. By 2000 he was in management at Radio One Baltimore as its National Sales Manager. In 2005 he was promoted to Director of Sales.

"It's been 27 years," David points out as we discussed his career at Radio One. "I was waiting for a management position...Howard and I go way back. We both worked at B104. I believe in him...I've been following him for almost 30 years."

David Willner explained the history of Radio One Baltimore as I talked about Cathy Hughes being my first contact. I first interviewed her because of the milestones at Radio One. She in turn supported the events I coordinated. Howard Mazer continued that support as is David Willner. I have been working with Radio One Baltimore since Cathy Hughes came to Baltimore.

"At that time...they were in Washinton, DC, then Baltimore, then Philly...lots of growth," he pointed out.
Radio One, now under the umbrella of Urban One, has 70 radio stations worldwide.

"We stream too," David said as we talked about streaming channels like Spotify. "Radio One has multiple audio channels - terrestrial and streaming."

"I came to Radio One in my late 30s," he said. "I was working in radio since my 20s straight out of college. I went to Towson...then B104 (JCorp). It was a Top 40 station, #1 at the time. I worked in lots of jobs (promotions, traffic, on-air). Made my way to the sales department at B104. I wanted to move up and there was no more moving up. I wanted to get into management."

That is when Howard Mazer made David a promise, come work in sales here and work your way up to management. I made a similar deal with the publisher of The Baltimore Times. I wanted to be a journalist and they wanted salespeople. I was told to work in sales, and I could be journalist also. So, as I worked in sales, I was also a feature story writer.

"In Baltimore, we are the only urban station in a market that is 30% African-American," David Willner points out. "On one side we are the only one reaching this audience and demographics. The other side is we can't do everything...we get hammered with requests."

It's those requests and the other audio options available to his listeners that are the driving force for David Willner in his new role as Vice President/General Manager. To increase listeners and sales by meeting people where they are - in their car, online streaming and on the many social media platforms.  www.Urban1.com www.92Q.com www.MagicBaltimore.com www.PraiseBaltimore.com www.MyBaltimoreSpirit.com www.WOLBBaltimore.com
