Major Los Angeles Festival Pivots to Online Platform as City Rebuilds Post-Fire
As Los Angeles rebuilds from the devastating fires, the resilience of its community shines through in unexpected ways. One such beacon of hope is the iconic New Media Film Festival®, which has boldly transitioned to a virtual format for this year’s event. The festival, originally scheduled to take place in person, will now be held online on June 4th and 5th, 2025.

Los Angeles, CA, United States, 28th Feb 2025 – The three months leading up to an event are critical, and after assessing the current situation from the California fire devastation and ongoing rebuilding efforts, the festival is making a concerted decision for the local and global communities. “We have ensured that the full value and more of what an in-person festival would cost has been given to charities. Pricing will be kept at a minimum, and the full festival experience, including coveted networking opportunities, special guest speakers, giveaways and more will be made available,” stated Founder/Director Susan Johnston, New Media Film Festival®.
These fires hit close to home with many of the team members being affected. Within days the festival sent a list to their 80,000 newsletter subscribers, socials and website www.newmediafilmfestival.com with links to direct vetted information on Evacuation/Incident Maps, Fire Dept fire Updates, Fire Statistics, recovering and rebuilding from a disaster.
The shift to a digital platform allows the festival to continue its tradition of showcasing diverse talents and fostering community spirit, even amidst adversity. By creating an intimate atmosphere online, they celebrate the resilience of art and its ability to heal and inspire.
The virtual festival offers a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrate the indomitable spirit of Los Angeles. Audiences will be treated to an eclectic mix of screenings, interactive sessions, and thought-provoking discussions, all accessible from the comfort of their homes. As the city heals and rebuilds, the multiple award winning New Media Film Festival® stands as a testament to the power of art and community to inspire and uplift, even in the face of great challenges.
This bold move underscores the festival’s commitment to the global content creator community, innovation and story, ensuring that the magic of New Media Film Festival® endures, no matter the circumstances. This is a festival that knows how to pivot. In 2023, the festival’s beloved Landmark Theater on West Pico closed three weeks before the in-person festival, yet with all the moving parts it takes to put on an event of this magnitude, a new venue was found, and the show went on. Different circumstances offer new visions and implementations, and the team is proud to assess and adapt for the good of all.
In the dynamic world of content, originality is key. The New Media Film Festival®, which has been Honoring Stories Worth Telling since 2009 for all ages, all cultures, all media – offers a unique platform for storytellers who dare to step away from the conventional and embrace innovation. With a submission process that values story and production quality, the festival opens doors to industry leaders and potential collaborations. It’s an opportunity for creators to retain their rights while gaining exposure and recognition from seasoned professionals in the field of New Media.
Early Line-up starts in January and closes on April 6th 2025, the final day to submit to be considered for awards. Grand Prize Award, Priceless. Meetings with HBO and Marvel, along with studio time in Los Angeles, and various production services and perks– Best of Category and Top 3 scripts each win perks, detailed on www.newmediafilmfestival.com/submit

South GA Center for Optimal Wellness Launches Advanced Sarcotropin Therapy Program for Age-Related Muscle Loss
Reclaim Strength and Confidence After 40 with Georgia’s New Breakthrough in Muscle Loss Treatment.
Georgia, US, 17th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, South GA Center for Optimal Wellness is proud to announce the launch of its advanced Sarcotropin therapy program, a revolutionary solution aimed at combating sarcopenia, i.e., age-related muscle loss, through cutting-edge peptide support and human growth hormone stimulation. This new therapy offers adults over 40 a powerful, science-backed way to regain strength, improve body composition, and reclaim energy and vitality.
Sarcotropin IPA is a medical food supplement that targets the natural decline of human growth hormone (HGH) associated with aging. Designed to stimulate the pituitary gland and promote the production of HGH, Sarcotropin encourages lean muscle development, enhances cognitive clarity, reduces fat accumulation, and supports better sleep, all without synthetic hormones. The formula includes a proprietary Sarcotyn peptide blend, plus amino acids, vitamins, and brain-boosting ingredients like Alpha-GPC and DMAE.
This therapy is especially beneficial for those who feel their bodies no longer respond to exercise or diet in the same way. By improving muscle recovery, increasing stamina, and accelerating fat metabolism, Sarcotropin supports individuals in building lean muscle, especially during resistance training or active daily routines.
Those experiencing mood swings, poor sleep, or decreased motivation may also benefit from its neuro-supportive ingredients that promote better mental health and emotional balance. Sarcotropin offers a sustainable, non-invasive option to counter the silent effects of aging. With consistent use, it becomes a powerful ally in restoring vitality and functional strength.
“Sarcotropin is changing the game for our patients who feel like they’re aging faster than they should,” said another representative at South GA Center for Optimal Wellness. “Within weeks, they begin to see and feel the difference; more strength, less fat, improved mood, and better sleep.”
In addition to in-office consultations, South GA Center for Optimal Wellness now offers Sarcotropin IPA for online purchase, making access to this transformative therapy easier than ever. Whether clients are seeking muscle gain, fat loss, cognitive support, or simply a more youthful sense of well-being, this program is tailored to support long-term results.

International B2B Platforms Connecting Global Buyers with Reliable African Suppliers
Wilmington, DE, United States, 17th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Global B2B platforms are transforming how exporters connect with buyers, making international trade faster, easier, and more cost-effective.
In today’s global trade, suppliers no longer need to spend huge amounts on big advertising campaigns to meet buyers. International B2B platforms like B2BMAP or Alibaba are changing the game – delivering targeted trade leads with powerful marketing services.
For African exporters of exporting items like Cocoa beans, Fruits and nuts, Petroleum oils, and Iron and steel, the challenge has always been finding genuine international buyers; without wasting money on low-quality leads or costly promotions. Many have tried large global marketplaces such as Alibaba, but often the results are mixed and competition is huge.
B2BMAP’s approach is different – this international B2B platform not only connects exporters with verified global buyers but also promotes their business through online visibility campaigns and targeted digital marketing. This means suppliers get year-round exposure without paying extra for separate advertising.
Chezlynne Trading, a South African exporter of Fruits and nuts and Petroleum oils, has reached buyers across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
John Otieno Omondi, a leading iron and steel supplier from South Africa with 9 years in business, explains:
“Before B2BMAP, we spent a lot on online ads, yet we mostly got poor-quality leads. We even tried other top marketplaces, but it was hard to stand out.
Since joining B2BMAP, we’ve been getting targeted international leads from buyers who are truly ready to do business. What impressed me most is that the platform also promotes our products through digital marketing at no extra cost.”
Why suppliers choose B2BMAP for international leads and cost savings:
- Verified global buyers with higher conversion potential
- Built-in digital marketing services — saving thousands on ads
- 24/7 online visibility for exporters
- Higher-quality leads compared to many big marketplaces.
“B2BMAP is more than just a marketplace,” said a company representative. “We give suppliers the tools and exposure they need to succeed internationally – without the costs that usually come with global marketing.”
B2BMAP continues to attract serious importers and buyers, giving suppliers a trusted space to build long-lasting business relationships. The platform’s premium marketing services ensures SME’s and exporters products stay visible in competitive global markets without extra investment. This makes it easier for small and medium businesses to compete with big market players.
With verified leads, transparent communication, and cost-saving promotion, B2BMAP is becoming the go-to choice for exporters looking to expand internationally. For companies ready to grow without overspending, this is the smarter way to trade.
