Chloé Hollings takes audiences back in time in hit show ‘Versailles’

Image
Like most children, Chloé Hollings found herself greatly influenced by her mother as a child. She was an actress, and a young Hollings was brought up hearing stories about her mother’s past performances and the wonderful characters she studied. It felt like destiny that she herself would also become an actress, originally wanting to be just like her mother, but quickly realizing it was also her passion. At 14, she first stepped onto a stage to play Lady Macbeth, a character that fascinated a teenage Hollings. She couldn’t seem to believe that this woman was all pure evil. From then on, she was hooked, understanding the power of analyzing a script to find a person’s humanity and sincerely portray them. Such an understanding has allowed Hollings to rise to the forefront of Europe’s entertainment industry. She has starred in Hollywood blockbusters like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and voiced characters for mobile apps like Bury Me, My Love , a video game. The app ...

We have conducted an interview with their Senior Personal Stylist Stephanie Holland. In your opinion what is personal styling and what are the common misconceptions? Personal styling is essentially having your wardrobe and day-to-day image outsourced to a professional.

We have conducted an interview with Zavesti team member Chivi Frost about her new book The Blogger Trailmap: How to Take Your Blog to the Next Level in Easy Steps . How did you first begin the business? The story of my book, ( The Blogger Trailmap: How to Take Your Blog to the Next Level in Easy Steps ), begins in the days when I worked at a desk job. I yearned to start a home-based business which would bring me independence. In pursuit of this dream, I poured over the blogs, the books and the videos available on the internet. Unfortunately, so much of this information on the internet is from sales people in the garb of bloggers who are promoting affiliate links to earn money. Or tout their own products. You can easily end up wasting months and years of your life. Which is...

Image
Arshad Madhani is a digital marketing professional who has gained a wide international following due to his expertise in all things marketing related. He holds an MBA degree from Texas A&M University and currently runs his consulting business from an Atlanta, Georgia location. We recently got to sit down and chat with Arshad and discuss all things digital marketing and life. Here’s what he had to say. What Exactly Led You to Become a Digital Marketing Consultant? I think it's probably my passion for problem solving combined with my natural affinity for digital communication and marketing. There's something very attractive about helping people overcome their obstacles, especially when you work with them, combine your mental resources, and jointly arrive at a resolution. Sometimes the original problem or challenge appears insurmountable. That feeling of beating the odds, making the smart call, and ironing out the wrinkles to create a workable solution is what moti...

Rambler: A Family Pushes Through the Fog of Mental Illness

Image
Linda K. Schmitmeyer ’s memoir, “ Rambler: A Family Pushes Through the Fog of Mental Illness ,” is an intimate and forthright look at her experience of raising children with a husband who has a severe mental illness. Linda’s professional life has taken her from the classroom to the newsroom to a public relations office. Semi-retired now, she continues to work as a freelance writer and editor and adjunct university professor. The career constant—the thread running through it all—is her love for writing. She fondly recalls the first time she imagined herself a writer. In grade school at the time, she overheard an aunt praising a story she’d written about growing up in a large family. (She has 10 brothers and a sister.) But being a writer wasn’t something little girls living in the Midwest in the 1950s set out to be, so she became a teacher. Eventually she morphed into a writer. When not writing—or thinking about writing—she enjoys traveling and bicycling, with her husband, Steve...

VFX Artist Jie Meng talks “Avengers: Infinity War” and combining computer science with art

Image
Growing up in China, Jie Meng was crazy about the visual arts. He easily found his way to graphic design, as he thought his talents could effortlessly spread the emotions and feelings from one individual to another. He began showing a great interest in using mathematics patterns as the graphic elements and use them to design visual art pieces. However, the more he worked in graphic design, the more he felt something lacking. Movies had always been a passion of his, and he realized that lending his talents to filmmaking would lead to a fulfilling career where millions around the world could appreciate his work. Almost instinctively, he began working as a visual effects artist, and he has never looked back. “Moving pictures can tell stories more directly and can easily share the worldview and introspection of the current social status to others,” he said. Throughout his career, Meng has proven time and time again why he is considered one of the best Chinese FX artists right ...
