ADHD ENTERTAINMENT

ADHD Entertainment

ADHD Entertainment, LLC is a new, up and coming entertainment organization that has already, with its well-developed Internet presence, drawn tens of millions of hits to its many websites.  ADHD Entertainment incorporates a myriad of projects that have been in development for nearly a decade, some even longer.  This corporation prides itself on staying relevant in this new age of web content and user-generated creativity, yet retains the class and dignity of the vintage era of show business.  ADHD Entertainment is a multimedia organization that includes music, broadcasts for radio and television, fashion, literature, and more.

The most well-developed connection you will find, the one that links many of these projects, is B-Rock, a young man with a powerful message—delivered to his audiences through hip-hop.  B-Rock is an incredibly talented artist and has a unique and magnetic sound that has attracted a large Internet-based following.  B-Rock has a full album ready for distribution, Bipolar Disorder, and is featured in a series of four comic books, a reality show, and a fashion line consisting of twenty tee shirts (with more in development) that display quotes from his songs—already hits on MySpace—and a diverse urban collection consisting of polos, hats and athletic ensembles, cologne and perfume.  The character of B-Rock has been in development for many years, and his presence is not to be missed.

ADHD Entertainment has much more to offer—one of the most strongly developed projects is a sitcom called “Ain’t Life Grand” with a professionally written and recorded theme song, and a full season of scripted episodes ready for examination.  This company offers fashion shows, exquisite photography, radio show lineups reflecting five different genres (with a DJ persona known as Rockman that has been in development since the 1970s), children’s books and poetry, all of which are well-developed and much of the marketing is already in place on the web and within the radio shows. 

The photography, taken by the talented Robert Henriksen, concentrates on the small intricacies in nature that are so often glossed over in our fast-paced Western society.  For example, Henriksen’s work gives one the ability to view a budding flower or a turtle precariously crossing a stream as a microcosm for greater triumphs and struggles in our world.  These nature photos are joined by photographs of the crumbling remnants of American history to be found in New Windsor, New York, a town rich with fading memories dating back to the American Revolution.  He also has a chapter in his portfolio that is comprised of unique fashion photography—in which he uses the incredible expressiveness of the human face to capture fleeting emotions rather than merely concentrating on the clothing.  It is the combination of thousands of facial expressions, unique fashions, sets and mood lighting that creates the finished product—a new form of fashion photography for a new generation, one that prefers a more humanistic look.

This company can provide unique, quality entertainment for the YouTube generation as well as for those yearning for the mystique and glamour of the past.  The combination of vintage class and style with relevant messages and extraordinary talent makes ADHD Entertainment a hugely varied and valuable corporation, and it has something for everyone—as America is a young, diverse country hungry for expression, ADHD Entertainment is able to represent us beautifully.

ADHD Entertainment takes great pride in bringing you Robert Henriksen’s innovative photography. As the corporation as a whole prides itself in retaining the vintage beauty and mystery of the past while taking full advantage of the digital age and the vital needs of the present, Henriksen’s photography fits neatly into this concept. His portfolio contains the historic poignancy of crumbling homes and swinging street signs, the powerful symbolism of nature, and the vintage fashions of the past met with the honest humanism that could be America’s future in modeling.
First, the past: Henriksen and ADHD Entertainment are based in historic upstate New York, an area of our country that is drenched in history, dating back to the days of the American Revolution. Many of Henriksen’s photographs capture the fading memories of those times, and others…the tiny specks of history remaining in old water towers and rusty manhole covers, the sites where soldiers camped during the harsh and frigid winters of the Revolutionary War. As the remarkable events that shaped our nation move further into the past, it becomes more urgent that they are documented with the dignity and intricacy that Henriksen’s photography offers.
The present and the past…Henriksen takes extraordinary nature photos that capture the small microcosms that are so prevalent in nature. When you see a budding flower encased in ice, stopped from completing its journey into fullness, or a small turtle trying with all its might to cross a road or stream, you begin to realize that these tiny symbols of our day-to-day struggles are present all around us…but because of our fast-paced Western lifestyle, we don’t see them. Just as we often snap to judgment and forget that our fellow human beings toil as we do, we forget that there are signs of wonder and magic every where we turn. Henriksen’s photography will make the beholder curious as to why we so often forget about the small miracles that represent us so remarkably well.
The past, the present, and finally the future…Robert Henriksen’s fashion photography is the epitome of the way in which the glamour and mystique of the past can and will be met with the innovative artistry of the future. While the vintage fashions and styles of the past are represented strongly in his work, the expression and humor exhibited by his models calls for a new movement in fashion photography. Gone are the days of the stone-faced, detached, unattainable fashion models…these new photographs use the incredible expressiveness of the human face to match mood, humor and personality with the style of clothing being displayed. The subject, rather than being a mere mannequin to display clothing, becomes central to the photo, exploring how the average American should be able to relate the images to those in their everyday lives…that they should be able to see a model who represents them, their colleagues, their families and their friends.
Robert Henriksen truly takes photography to a new level of expression and innovation. His portfolio is incredibly diverse, and he is able to handle everything from small, obscure shapes to sweeping, widespread landscapes. He understands symbolism and detail in a way that truly sets him above all others, and his photography is indicative of a promising future in both art and publishing. links to some of my work are are the top or side bar

ADHD Entertainment takes extraordinary pride in submitting the album Bipolar Disorder for your consideration for distribution purposes.  This album was recorded by a breakout, up-and-coming, innovative hip-hop artist by the name of B-Rock.  From the first track, which boasts of his being the best MC of them all, to the last track—which gives a warning to his predecessors in rap that their time is up; their game is over—this album is gutsy, unique and memorable.  There’s a new boy in town and his name is B-Rock.  Despite his lack of performing experience due to having spent his childhood in a small town hamlet in upstate New York with few opportunities, this young rapper has the skills of a veteran is so many ways.  His brutally honest lyrics bring you inside the adversity he has faced and the pain he’s experienced to an extraordinary degree, with raw emotion and unique perspective.  This precocious rapper is new to the scene but has spent time in the recording studio since he was a young teenager, and he comes across as polished as any professional on the Top 40.

            Bipolar Disorder is a bridge between a past and a future, a journey through dark times and an ultimately optimistic declaration that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  This album contains some harsh imagery as well it should, to combat any inclination to think that he’s exaggerating his situation.  However, woven through said imagery is a strong will to survive and hope for the future, a reaching out to those suffering from similar circumstances, a leading by example.  This album, when heard at the right time, could serve as a guiding light for other young men and women who feel lost and alone.  Even if the listener previously could not relate to such experiences, this album is sure to make it easier to walk in another person’s shoes, and to increase the empathy of all who hear it.  The positive message that one takes away from this album is so potent, it may revolutionize the direction—certainly the perception—of hip-hop.

            This album is also fully appropriate for entertainment alone, and provides a perfect soundtrack to clubs, bars and parties.  The songs are unique; they have magnetic beats and a very distinctive sound that sets B-Rock apart from other hip-hop artists.  B-Rock has also, through his work with ADHD Entertainment, acquired a significant web following and his website has garnered tens of millions of hits; he is a hit on MySpace.  His fashion line is well underway, with twenty tee shirts displaying quotes from his songs already developed and available for purchase.  This urban line will expand to include more tee shirt designs, as well as polos, hats and athletic ensembles, cologne and perfume.  There are completed scripts for several music videos for the songs on the album, and there is also a secondary release: an enhanced CD with lyrics, ring tones and links to the web site.  This artist is diverse, polished, powerful and ready for the spotlight.  His Internet following is devoted and enthusiastic, and they will follow him through all of his endeavors.  “B-Rock’s the name; rap will never be the same.

ADHD Entertainment continually strives to bridge the gaps between demographics and provide quality entertainment to people of all ages.  To this end, we are very pleased to present to you “Little Flower,” a beautiful nature video that is appropriate and engaging for both children and adults.   The original song is uncomplicated enough for small children to learn to sing along, and relaxing enough to work as a lullaby.  There are two different versions of “Little Flower”—one is performed by an adult male vocalist, and the other features a young girl performing.  Either version may be used depending on the demographic that one is trying to reach.

            The video incorporates gorgeous time-lapse imagery to display the growth stages of flowers, providing an unusual glimpse of nature that is both aesthetically pleasing and educational.  Along with the beautiful music, there are the enchanting authentic sounds of nature—birds chirping, streams bubbling, and bees buzzing.  The images and sounds of nature combined with this wonderful song result in an innovative and useful finished product.  “Little Flower” is three minutes and fifty seconds in length.

            Along with this outstanding music video is our companion project, “Crocky/Mackral,” a quirky and fun reality show that features interviews conducted by two young girls, who go by the nicknames “Corky” and “Mackral.”  This series, featuring Robert Henriksen, Tiffany Henriksen and Victoria Zippo, features the making of “Little Flower” as well.  Each mini-episode is about ten minutes in length.  The show is funny and touching, and shows the girls trick-or-treating and having fun at home and on the go.  One episode features a book signing at Borders with Dylan and Cole Sprouse, stars of the Disney Channel sitcom “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.”  Join Crocky, Mackral and Rob as they generously provide a humorous glimpse into their lives.

            From Archie Bunker in “All in the Family” to Doug Heffernan in “King of Queens,” the story of an everyday, hard-working man and his common struggle is usually the foolproof formula for laughs.  However, sitcoms such as the aforementioned usually take place in New York City or on Long Island, or in another famous city such as Los Angeles or even Milwaukee.  Middle America can relate, but not to the degree that they would if the main characters lived in a small town hamlet like their own…with this in mind, ADHD Entertainment is proud to bring you “Ain’t Life Grand!”—a sitcom written by and about an honest hard-working man in a small, unassuming town in the Hudson Valley of New York.  This is a town that could really be any suburban town in North America, whether it is in upstate New York, the Midwest, or the south, and is much more relatable to the average American television viewer than a show that takes place in Queens.

            The main character, Rob, is a general contractor in a town like so many others in America: quaint, everybody-knows-everybody’s business, mom-and-pop deli US of A.  After suffering a devastating car accident, he is returning to business as usual, which includes going down to Bubba’s Bagel Store every morning to get the same cup of coffee at the same time, and exchange witticisms with Bubba and his wife Marie to add a bit of excitement to small town life.  He then interacts with the other eccentric characters in the show—his clients, who are often offbeat and unusual to say the least.  He has been hired by a condominium complex to do punch list work, and he rents an office there to organize his primary duties and also to work on his creative endeavors.  These stories are based on the actual experiences of the show’s creator, and his interactions with his clients highlight the peculiarity and unconventional behavior that often lurks behind the idyllic image of picket-fences, small town bliss.

            The other main focus of Rob’s life is the fact that he is an artist at heart, and is constantly firing off new ideas for “making it big” and getting the heck out of dodge—these ideas run the gamut of the creative spectrum, and include music, writing, photography, script-writing, poetry, et cetera.  He is spending his harried life working his fingers to the bone for a living, cooperating with the bizarre characters that come with his day job, and running around carrying out various creative brainstorms hoping to be “discovered” so he can quit construction, follow his dream and devote his life to the entertainment business.

Continuing in its never-ending effort to provide quality entertainment for a demographically diverse audience, ADHD Entertainment is very proud to present you with WADHD Radio.  This radio station would actually be more accurately described as a group of radio stations, as there will be at least ten channels to choose from when WADHD Radio is launched, and this will quickly blossom into more.  The channels will be divided up in several different ways.  There will be channels merely divided up by the decade closest to one’s heart and memories—the 1940s through the 1990s.  If an entire decade’s worth of music is too broad for a listener, there will be separate channels dedicated to specific genres, from rock to rap, from jazz to heavy metal to a Dr. Demento-style station—even venturing into the early cylinder recordings of Thomas Edison, which ties into another branch of ADHD Entertainment’s web-based megaportal, Historic mp3s.  There will also be channels dedicated to specific musical groups and bands.

            This incredibly diverse radio station comes already equipped with numerous prepared play lists for hour-long radio shows of every flavor.  Even indie music by unsigned, up-and coming artists will have its own station.  The station will kick off with pre-recorded shows for listeners to enjoy, and live broadcasts will work their way in as the station grows.  One of the DJs will be founder Rob Henriksen.  This is a character that is well over thirty years in development, and his unique style will not disappoint.  One special feature of WADHD Radio will be a family channel featuring two generations of Henriksen music makers.  This station will feature Rockman’s older brother CJ, and the songs that he has written throughout his life which served to inspire his younger brother. 

All stations will feature DJ Rockman himself, as his style is as diverse as his character.  The family and rap stations will also feature Rockman’s son B-Rock, a young, up-and-coming rap sensation with an eloquent style and an unforgettable message.  Combined, their extraordinary vision provides a myriad of styles and moods, furthering the mission of ADHD Entertainment to provide great entertainment.  Incidentally, one of the most important qualities of WADHD Radio is that it comes pre-packaged with the prevailing, demographically diverse Internet presence that is ADHD Entertainment—a large group of websites that has already drawn tens of millions of hits.  Rockman has drawn at least 100 million visitors over the last ten years with his many projects, at one point garnering an Alexa rating of sixty thousand out of 120 million sites.  Now it’s time to hand over the job to his son B-Rock, who has his finger on the pulse of today’s youth and is just as diverse as his dad.  The company’s title is joined by “Rockman” and “B-Rock” as commanding keywords that will instantly draw a massive audience to WADHD Radio once it is launched.  Rockman hopes to capitalize on this and to eventually gain enough listeners to garner a unique XM satellite station, so that he can, in his own words, “die doing what [he} loves: playing and listening to music.”

ADHD Entertainment has a mission to be a relevant corporation that provides quality entertainment for a huge variety of demographics, and to help people solidify their identities through music, art, literature, fashion and film.  What better way is there to do so than to get more familiar with one’s history?  To this end, ADHD Entertainment has been hard at work creating their latest brilliant resource: Historic DVDs!  This collection of DVDs provides insight into various different aspects of American history. With many categories to choose from: famous events, great disasters, early Soundies, classic Betty Boop cartoons, classic commercials, Buster Keaton’s comedy and much more, Historic DVDs allows you to see how the early pioneers created and shaped the way for many of the inventions and entertainment we still use today, as well as providing riveting documentaries on the events that shaped our very lives as Americans.

            The vast majority of the DVDs in this collection highlight historical events and movements that are broad enough for all Americans to relate to the information and commentary therein.  To highlight one category, one of the more pertinent and universally relevant phases in American history is industry: there are documentary films on the history of the automobile industry, as well as the trucking and mining industries, and the way that these were developed and woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. With the recent controversy over TARP and just about every industry in our nation itching for a bailout, the genesis of these industries as the foundation of the American economy is a subject about which we could all stand to learn more. There are also documentaries on railroads, manufacturing, aviation and various labor strikes that had a high impact.  There are also a number of films on major events and disasters in our history, from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake to the 1923 Berkeley Fire, and several war documentaries, primarily about the Second World War.

            Historic DVDs also caters to some localized history which will be of interest to those who live there, as well as those who have specific fascinations with certain areas of the United States. As ADHD Entertainment is a New York-based company, many of these deal with New York City—there is a film recorded at the Apollo Theater in Harlem that highlights the shockingly racist entertainment of the 1930s, as well as a few documentaries on the city itself, various Manhattan landmarks, Coney Island and some of the more well-known towns on Long Island. It even includes an interesting look at a Memorial Day parade that was held in the small town of Cornwall, NY (Orange County) in 1920.  Along with these, the category “Cities and States” provides films dealing with Detroit, Norristown & Doylestown (Pennsylvania), Niagara Falls, Chicago, a poignant view of pre-Katrina New Orleans dating back to the height of jazz, Denver, and an in-depth look at the history of the state of Alaska: from Seward’s folly to the process through which it became our 49th state.

            The entertainment category shows the way it has transformed through the years, due to changing culture, social values and technology. It includes vintage cartoons including the classics Betty Boop, Felix the Cat and Popeye. It also includes vintage reels of the comedy of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Eddie Cantor.  There are classic short films like “Who Killed Doc Robin” and features like Bowery Blitzkrieg, along with documentaries on the histories of the television and radio industries, classic commercials and a few looks into the world of fashion.  Overall, this diverse and professionally made collection of DVDs contains a wealth of information and insight into the building blocks of the American identity.
