Drama Erupts On Train To Machu Picchu Over Surprise Gift

 

https://youtube.com/shorts/dtX5ahAhXcs

Traveling by train to Machu Picchu offers a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors. With its scenic routes and breathtaking views, it is no wonder that many people choose this mode of transportation to reach the ancient Incan citadel. Not only does traveling by train provide convenience and comfort, but it also offers accessibility for various fitness levels. During the train journey, travelers can expect a certain duration of the round trip, depending on the chosen route. Onboard amenities and services make the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Some train operators even offer cultural performances and entertainment to enhance the overall experience. One particularly memorable experience we had during our journey was the unexpected Inca traditional drama performance. The train featured Inca music and narrations, along with a couple of actors who wore colorful traditional costumes. Their performance depicted a story of love and saying goodbye, and even though we didn't know the exact storyline, we could feel the emotions and authenticity of the moment. We were fortunate to capture this unforgettable moment on film, making it a cherished memory of our trip. To ensure a successful train trip to Machu Picchu, it is advised to plan and make reservations in advance. Packing accordingly and dressing appropriately for the weather is crucial, as the climate can vary. Proper altitude acclimatization is also essential, especially because Machu Picchu is located at a higher altitude. By following these tips and choosing to travel by train, you can have a memorable and convenient journey to Machu Picchu, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of this iconic destination.

Jazmen Darnell Brown Assumes Vice Presidency of LA Webfest and Heads Long-Form Honorees Selection

Los Angeles Web Series Festival, LA Webfest, is thrilled to introduce Jazmen Darnell Brown as its Vice President. A filmmaker and esteemed TV writer with WGA accolades and a Daytime Emmy nomination, Brown's career includes contributions to Peacock, Starz, BET, and OWN.

As LA Webfest approaches its 15th Annual event in 2024, it continues to evolve and celebrate the vast, dynamic world of content creation. In 2023, LA Webfest broadened its vision to recognize long-form content that encapsulates the same entrepreneurial spirit as web series. This strategic shift aimed to illuminate the captivating journeys these projects undertake before gracing the screen. Brown and his dedicated selection committee will annually handpick 5 to 10 long-form honorees, spanning the realms of movies and TV, with a keen eye on both Hollywood productions and the thriving independent landscape.

The inaugural year of long-form recognition in 2023 celebrated "BMF," the popular STARZ crime drama produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Despite chronicling the true-life saga of the Flenory brothers and their role in shaping one of history’s most influential crime families, the show underwent an extensive development process that commenced in the early 2010s. Its creator, Randy Huggins, also received well-deserved honors for drawing upon his personal upbringing to breathe authenticity into the ‘80s southwest Detroit setting.

Jazmen Darnell Brown's commitment to LA Webfest extends far beyond his new role. For several years, he volunteered at the webfest, working closely with the late Michael Ajakwe Jr., the festival's founder. His dedication and passion for advancing independent content, along with the new festival director, Young Man Kang, and his team, have been instrumental in shaping the festival's growth. 

Founded in 2009, LA Webfest was the pioneer international festival exclusively dedicated to web series. Over the years, it has ignited the creation of web festivals worldwide, resulting in a network of more than 50 web festivals spanning the globe.

This year's festival promises to captivate audiences with an international showcase featuring some of the finest long-form series, short-form web series, short films, pilots, and podcasts from across the globe. The submission window for the 2024 event is currently open, with the regular submission deadline set for the end of November.

A notable highlight from the previous edition of the festival was the inclusion of long-form series from major industry players like ABC, Netflix, Apple TV, and LionsGate+. The event also saw celebrated nominees such as Jason Momoa for his role in "See," Paula Patton for "Somewhere Between," and Randy Huggins for creating the popular crime drama "BMF," produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

The LA WEBFEST has a rich history of discovering new talent and nurturing creativity within the web series format. Issa Rae, renowned star and creator of "Insecure," initially screened her show "Awkward Black Girl" at the festival, while her co-star Yvonne Orgi was discovered by LA WEBFEST founder Michale Ajakwe, Jr.

Ajakwe founded the LA WEBFEST in 2009, marking it as the world's first international festival exclusively dedicated to web series. Since then, the festival's influence has extended, inspiring the creation of webfests worldwide, with more than 50 webfests forming a global network.
