October 7, 2020 by Aidan Vilchis 219 Comments

From Captain Marvel to Pirates of the Caribbean, the film industry brought $1.4 billion to San Bernardino and Riverside Counties since 1995. This income is unlikely to continue as the film industry has been “hit hard,” says Dan Taylor, President of the Inland Empire Film Services.

His primary role is to help production companies obtain filming permits and provide a resource center where they can hire local people and vendors.According to him, the film industry brought in $50 million to the Inland Empire last fiscal year.

Is copycat culture killing original music in the Inland Empire?

March 13, 2019 by Chris De La Ossa 7 Comments

 Every day local musicians such as myself gather in garages and studios around the Inland Empire to create, practice and record original music. Bands spend thousands on gear and travel to play gigs with hopes of gaining fans and some extra cash. There are ample amounts of bands that dedicate themselves to genres ranging from Metal to Folk and anywhere in between. With tribute bands taking over the bars and venues that actually pay talent, it makes an artist such as myself question what the future holds for unknown musicians that want to play original songs rather than covers. But rather than get bogged down with the popularity of regurgitated tunes, I sought optimism from other … [Read more...] about Is copycat culture killing original music in the Inland Empire?

Horror movies have been around since the days of silent film, and have made their way through every decade. From the classics to modern times, each decade has brought out a different side of dreadfulness. Fourth year student, Estefania Pantoja, prefers to watch modern films that keep her on her toes. “I prefer modern ones. The special effects are more up-to-date and seem more realistic than they were back then,” shared Pantoja. There is a diverse collection of different types of horror flicks that anyone can choose to watch. Some … [Read more...] about Spook month, spooky movies, spooky books

October 16, 2017 by Isaac Cardenas 113 Comments

Establishing his position as the next up and coming artist to watch for, singer-songwriter Moses Sumney's debut is a stunner and one of the year's best.

Wine and canvas paint

June 4, 2017 by Arthur Medrano 623 Comments

By Arthur Medrano |Staff Writer| An entertaining alternative has arrived that no longer pits the social drinker to drink and drive, but rather to drink and paint. San Bernardino's Generation Now was tactical in its way of having the community break away from the typical hangout to enjoy festivities at the Garcia Center for the Arts in San Bernardino on May 26. The Spirit and Arts event occurs every fourth Friday of the month and relies on receiving donations from local city patrons to provide resources so individuals don't have to worry about purchasing their own art supplies. The Garcia Center, which is run by SB's Valley Concert Association, is also home to artwork and … [Read more...] about Wine and canvas paint
