International Literary Properties, the New York- and London-based rights management outfit, has expanded the role of its UK CEO Hilary Strong to include Europe. In her new remit as CEO of UK and Europe, the former Agatha Christie Ltd CEO will be responsible for the company’s UK and European acquisition program. She will also have global responsibility for Ilp’s TV and film exploitation of the estates in its portfolio.

The New York-headquartered business is led by literary veteran Scott Hoffman as Global CEO and Ted Green as Executive Chairman. Strong works alongside Anthology Group founder, Bob Benton in the UK and Europe.

Long before the tragic murders that shattered their peace occurred, Deborah and Dy-Shawn Simpkins were committed to providing kids with alternatives to street violence via their after-school and day care programs.
For over 15 years the couple has supported upwards of 650 youth through these services. Despite their devoted efforts, a senseless act of violence took the lives of their own son, Dy-Shawn Simpkins Jr., 18, along with their nephew Kee-Ayre Griffin, 29, who were killed in a triple shooting in East Orange. The senseless murders interrupted the promising lives of Simpkins, Jr — with his athletic career at Norfolk State University; and of Griffin — a former student athlete at Temple University.
Now everyone is asked to participate in a march with the core message — the Love and Not Hate March & Movement. Organized by Simpkins’s own nonprofit of seven years, the Gap Program (Gang Alternative Program), and other nonprofits collectively known as Community United As One.

Late Beatle George Harrison may no longer be with us, but his film production work lives on thanks to indie home entertainment giant, Image. The company has announced the acquisition of Harrison's Handmade Films library, a collection of titles produced by the rock icon which showcases a wide range of movies covering multiple genres. The DVD/Blu-ray and electronic debuts are set for undisclosed times. The label's first theatrical release is the seminal Terry Gilliam flick, Time Bandits, which was one of several of Handmade's titles under threat of a remake several years ago, but nothing has come of it to date.
The fantasy adventure tale about a young boy who befriends a group of time-traveling dwarves isn't the only hit to Harrison's credit. "The Handmade library contains some of the greatest and most influential films of the past thirty years," said Ted Green, chairman and CEO of Image. "Their...

Forty years ago on September 21, 1969, Wayne Maki almost killed Ted Green. Ted Green was one of the most feared of the National Hockey League gladiators. Superbly confident in his ability to control and pass the puck, Green made his opponents pay a physical price for entering his space on the rink. Green was never afraid on the ice, and he often aggressively provoked fights as the team's enforcer. A modest man off the ice, when he suited up for a game Green was a wicked terror to be feared. His club and his fans expected him to play that role. Age 29 at the time of the incident, Green was at the top of his game. Wayne Maki was at the opposite end of the career spectrum. At age 24, the Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario native was yet to...
