Aloha HAN Members,

              The Hawaii Actors Network is on the move in the continued effort to get local talent onto the national map!  I am proud to announce that on December 20, 2011 at 10am PST. HAN Founder and President; Teddy Wells will be interviewed on Bella Petite Radio and Webcast!

Bella Petite (http://bellapetite.com/) came to our attention when HAN’s own Kat Mendez (http://www.hawaiiactors.com/profile/KatMendez) graced the cover of the magazine! If you haven’t checked it out, it is a must-see. Kat is definitely a premiere model in Hawaii and we are proud to have her represent! (http://bellapetite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Cover-Layout-Kat-...). Kat booked the cover with the help of HAN’s own Swan Elliott-Bowden (http://www.hawaiiactors.com/profile/SwanKElliottBowden).  Be sure to also check out Swan and Focus International (http://www.focushawaii.com/).

Bella Petite is the go-to fashion and lifestyle magazine, featuring models who are 5’5” and under. With a mission to “enrich the lives of petite women by expanding the opportunities in the fashion, modeling, beauty and the business world,” Bella Petite is an ideal vehicle for HAN to promote Hawaii’s models and talent.

Teddy will be interviewed by Bella Petite Editor and Founder Ann Lauren.  Ann began as a model and a host at the early age of 16, and since then has not only founded Bella Petite magazine and radio, but also founded USA Petites – a national organization promoting 100,000 models in pageants, modeling competitions and fashion shows. Through her pioneering efforts, international companies have jumped on the band wagon towards featuring petite models – including Cartier, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, and United Airlines.

This is a unique opportunity for HAN!  This national platform will put a spotlight on all of the talented actors and crew that we have, as well as the beautiful models and showcase the islands as a wonderful place to film and to do business.  Other guests on the December 20 show include International Agent and Producer Swan K. Elliott-Bowden with Cirque performer Anneta Lucero and an Actor's Profile with Jeff L Williams fromDesperate Housewives! Teddy Wells Adam Rifkin Rob Diggy Danny LeeThe Network The Haunting of Sunshine Girl Mercedes Rose 

Be sure to tune in to the webcast on Tuesday, December 20 at 10 a.m. PST as Teddy Wells promotes the amazing talent these islands have to offer! Stay tuned!
