Welcome to Streamers on the Rise, where we find streamers who are growing their channels, content, and audiences in extraordinary ways. Each week we’ll talk with a creator about what goes into livestreaming–both on and off camera.
Cinna has been a McDonald’s staffer, a murder scene cleaner, and an aerospace engineer-in-training.
Now, she’s a full-time Twitch streamer.
She never thought streaming would be a career for her. She actually didn’t know about streaming at all until college. At the time, she was working two jobs to pay her way through her aerospace engineering program, and was playing video games as a hobby. She’d been raised by her dad, and he was “a big video game guy,” she says, which fostered a love of gaming in her. When she stumbled on Twitch, something about it caught her interest.

The UK alt-rockers shared the news alongside a new song that’s included on the comp entitled “Nowhere to Go But Everywhere” — the namesake of the group’s North American tour this fall.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner hadn’t done a film together since Affleck’s 2003 feature Daredevil. One of the reasons Garner wasn’t sure about working with her ex-husband was due to his pace as a filmmaker.

Affleck’s career went through heavy turbulence before the Oscar-winner managed to find his footing. Somewhere in the early to mid 2000s, the media turned on Affleck. And Affleck had a difficult time finding the source for all the vitriol that was being thrown his way.
“The amount of venom—I must have touched some specific little place in the consciousness,” Affleck once told GQ. “I don’t believe I didn’t deserve any negative judgment for anything, but it was just way out of whack.”

The UK owes many of its proudest creations to other countries. Our national dish is chicken tikka masala, the Romans gave us everything from plumbing to underfloor heating, and let’s not even get started on the Royal family.
So it should come as no surprise that some top UK TV shows are based on original series from around the world. Some of these are obvious, like Drag Race UK and Law & Order being imported from the US, or The Masked Singer originating in South Korea, but some UK remakes are less up front about their international origins.
Hullraisers
Lucy Beaumont developed this Hull-based sitcom about the lives of three hilarious, bawdy and chaotic women, which debuted on Channel 4 in spring 2022 and has already been commissioned for a second series. But despite being a gorgeous and all-too-rare depiction of working-class British wit, Hullraisers is actually based on an Israeli sitcom called Little Mom,...

To celebrate the UK and Irish release of action-packed Icelandic comedy thriller with a twist, Cop Secret – on digital platforms on 23rd May – we are giving away an iTunes voucher!
Auðunn Blöndal stars as your usual maverick, hard-drinking, no-nonsense, brutal cop in a tight white vest… but he has a secret – he has a crush on hunky fellow policeman Hörđur (Egill Einarsson)! This distracts him from his job tracking down a supervillain robbing all the banks in Reykjavik.
Cop Secret is co-written and directed with infectious energy by Hannes Þór Halldórsson, a professional football goalkeeper who plays for Iceland’s national team, best known for turning away a penalty kick from Lionel Messi in the 2018 World Cup. Here, he makes his feature debut.

Lorde offered a full breakdown of her long-awaited new single, “Solar Power,” during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music One Friday, June 11th.
The track, Lorde said, was borne during a summer on Martha’s Vineyard, when she came back from a long day of swimming and began playing around with a Yamaha Dx keyboard. She said the melody reminded her of Robby Williams’ song “Rock DJ,” and when she later took the song’s skeleton to producer Jack Antonoff, she set about capturing a distinct summer vibe.

An adaptation of the novel “We Go Around in the Night and are Consumed by Fire” by “Loaded” producers Hillbilly Films and Television has attached its key creative team.
BAFTA-nominated helmer Georgi Banks-Davies (“I Hate Suzie”) is set to direct the limited drama series, while Clare McQuillan (“Impulse”) is writing. The film deal was brokered by Luke Speed of the Curtis Brown Group on behalf of Alexander Cochran of C&w Agency.
Inspired by graffiti found on an overpass in Manchester, Jules Grant’s debut novel is a queer love story and revenge thriller that provides a little-seen view of British gangland in Manchester, from a female perspective.
Banks-Davies most recently served as the lead director on Sky series “I Hate Suzie,” which is nominated for the best series BAFTA TV Award as well as an emerging talent (fiction) nod for the director. Her additional credits include short drama “Garfield,...

Celebrity fans and friends paid tribute Friday to Peter Fonda, the son of Henry Fonda and younger brother of Jane Fonda, who died in his home at age 79 on August 16. He is best known for playing the role of Wyatt in 1969’s “Easy Rider,” and he also starred in films like “Ulee’s Gold” and “The Hired Hand.” Friends, family and peers posted their tributes to the late countercultural icon.
“It is with deep sorrow that we share the news that Peter Fonda has passed away,” The Fonda family issued an exclusive statement to People magazine. “He passed away peacefully on Friday morning, August 16 at 11:05am at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by family. The official cause of death was respiratory failure due to lung cancer. In one of the saddest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our hearts.

Peter Fonda, who died Friday at age 79, was a member of a Hollywood royal family that included father Henry Fonda, sister Jane Fonda and his daughter Bridget Fonda. He also might have, along with Dennis Hopper, launched an entire Hollywood industry with their 1969 film Easy Rider, considered by many to mark the birth of modern indie cinema. The film, which made Fonda a counterculture hero, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
A two-time Oscar nominee — for the Easy Rider screenplay he co-wrote with Hopper and Terry Southern, and for his leading role in Ulee’s Gold almost 30 years later — Fonda was remembered today by the industry in which he spent his entire life.

The surprise move puts an abrupt cap on Newman’s decades-long career at Fox, where he worked with counterpart Dana Walden to turn 20th Century Fox Television into arguably the most successful studio in television and more recently ran the network with Walden. It also moves Collier, who will report to Murdoch, from AMC Networks, where he helped build AMC into an original programming power on the backs of series such as “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” and “The Walking Dead.”

Parquet Courts’ lead singer Andrew Savage, one-half of the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Texas band’s two-headed leadership, is mad as hell. While on the opposite side of the stage, bandmate Austin Brown is getting wistful. That yin-and-yang of punk and funk – as Savage notes in the opening track to “Wide Awake!,” “Total Football:” “Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive” – lends itself to the very human dilemma at the heart of Parquet Courts’ fifth album, “Wide Awake!”
Often cited as part of the continuum of downtown New York art-guitar bands — from the Velvet Underground through Television to the Strokes — Parquet Courts are the perfect example of rock miniaturization, refining what they do to a hard diamond for those in-the-know. By enlisting pop wunderkind Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton as their first-ever outside producer, Parquet Courts has opened up its musical palette even more than most recent effort, 2016’s ballad-laden “Human Performance.”

Claire McGlasson’s debut novel about a real-life cult, set in 1920s England, is being turned into a television series after Hillbilly Television optioned the rights.
The UK drama production company, which was founded byPolly Leys and Kate Norrish, is to develop a TV adaptation of The Rapture, which will be published in June 2019 by Faber and Faber, after fighting off fierce competition for the novel.
The Rapture is a story of madness and friendship, repressed emotions and acts of true devotion. It is set in 1926 in the UK market town of Bedford.

David Mandil’s MoviePlus Productions, the Israeli banner which is presenting ”Miguel” at Canneseries Festival, is developing “The Silent Fighters,” a documentary feature about a classified military unit, and “Duduland” (working title), a drama series about the true story of disgraced Israeli TV star Dudu Topaz.
“Duduland,” which has been commissioned by Hot, will chronicle the epic downfall of Dudu Topaz, one of Israel’s biggest TV stars who embarked on a mission to bring down industry figures he held responsible for his fall from grace. He was eventually apprehended by the police and sent to prison, where he committed suicide.
The 8 one-hour episodes will be written and directed by Assaf Harel, a well-established screenwriter who won two Israeli Television Academy Awards for “Parliament,” a half-hour comedy series about five elderly men living in Israel, and wrote “Loaded” (“Mesudarim”), a hit comedy-drama series about four friends who sell their start-up...

Debuting tonight on AMC, the tech-themed Loaded is far from merely a British version of HBO’s Silicon Valley and, in fact, a lot smarter and more fun that it might seem. Adding to the combination of four friends who become instant multi-millionaires from the sale of their app, Mary McCormack delivers a blistering, brassy performance as the American corporate VP who arrives to show there is a new sheriff in old London town. Having already aired this year on Channel 4 in…...

“Loaded,” the new AMC series about the wacky adventures of overnight British millionaires, is one of the rare comedies that’s better when no one’s laughing. Ostensibly a show about what happens when a group of four men luck into unfathomable riches, one of its frequent missteps is its runtime. Unlike the vast majority of comedies on American airwaves, “Loaded” runs in hourlong increments. Overstaffed, undercooked, and in constant search of a central focus, the series is one of the better arguments for keeping comedies as concise as possible.
A Channel 4 production airing stateside on AMC and based on a the Israeli series “Mesudarim,” “Loaded” follows the fortunes (literal and metaphorical) of a group of four friends who have recently made a mint from selling their app to an American corporation. Josh (Jim Howick) is the uptight brains of the outfit, Leon (Samuel Anderson) is the enigmatic boisterous public face of the company,...

AMC has just released a trailer for its new comedy series Loaded. The show looks to be pretty funny and in a very similar vein as HBO's Silicon Valley. The show is based on a popular Israeli series and is about friendship and how money can put them to the test.
The cast includes Jim Howick, Samuel Anderson, Jonny Sweet and Nick Helm. They play a group of tech entrepreneurs and childhood friends that have recently made a fortune after selling their gaming company. They become instant millionaires and are forced to deal with the struggles that come along with becoming rich overnight.
Even though the series seems to be very similar to Silicon Valley, I would imagine that there will be plenty that helps it stand on its own two feet. What do you think?
Loaded is AMC just slated to premiere at 10 Pm Monday, July 17, following Preacher.

New Channel 4 comedy Loaded is a very funny look at male friendship, money and success, with a strong cast and real depth…
When I meet the cast of Channel 4’s Loaded, it’s at the tail-end of a stretch of interviews during which Samuel Anderson, Nick Helm, Jim Howick and Jonny Sweet have been asked approximately four times an hour what, if they each suddenly received £15m as their app-designing characters do in the show, they’d spend it on. Before I even sit down, Sweet starts to reel off “I’d get a kettle, fill it with gold…”
