SPOTLIGHT: IRIS BOLLING - THE HEART SERIES (Creator/Executive Producer)

Iris Bolling

(Creator and Executive Producer of The Heart Television Series)

How did you begin the planning process of the Heart Television Show?

Well, I would like to first like to say thank you for hosting my cast on your blog. I had the idea for several years. However, I was missing the pieces to put the puzzle together. My producer, Nikkea Smithers, and I, were attending a literary conference organized by BRAB. We put our heads together to outline the beginning stages of planning. Once we returned to our home city, Richmond, VA, we started implementing our strategies.

How did you fund the project?

I utilized my funds from book sales, credit cards, and the Kickstarter Program. I have awesome fans and friends who supported my vision!

Describe the Schedule.

We filmed for 7 weekends. Many said that it could not be done. However, I want to be inspiration to others. Don’t let others stop your vision. I have great friends,family, cast, and crew that made sure that all things went smoothly. I was blessed to have friends and family members let me use their houses, cars, etc. to assist with filming. People volunteered their time and services to get things done!

Where can we find episodes of the show?

Currently, the show is airing on CW Richmond. The first episode is available on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_gQ3P6nTZA. Starting in March, you will be able to purchase the entire series on DVDS.

Describe your experience on the set?

Being on set was truly an amazing experience for me. Acting was something that I have never done before, but being around these incredible people made it easy for me. We all consider each other family, and it definitely feels that way. The cast and crew are some extremely talented people. I believe in ways we all made each other better on set. That’s why I believe this series is so powerful.

Does Turk have soft spot? If so, describe it.

Tracy. Tracy is the only person that can get to Turk. He will give his life just to make sure his little sister is okay. Tracy is Turk’s soft spot. The love Turk has for his sister is unconditional, but it also can be dangerous.

What are your next projects?

While working on The Heart, I have also been working on my 1st official Album, which will be released the same day as the show. February 15, 2014. Along side with the album, I will be releasing my first single from the album titled “Damn”. The will be available on iTunes and Amazon. Upcoming shows locally as well as

Spotlight: Warrior Beautiful - Wendy Knight

Working with the ex you secretly love to save the souls of the innocent is almost as bad as working with a mighty battle unicorn who would be thrilled to watch you plummet to your death. 

Scout is used to pain. Her body has been broken, her heart has been broken, and the only thing keeping her together is her relationship with her younger sister. Lil Bit be-lieves in unicorns and terrifying monsters she calls soul stealers. But unicorns and monsters aren’t real…are they? 

When Lil Bit falls prey to the mysterious disease sweeping the country, Scout has two options – believe the doctors who say it’s a pandemic or believe Lil Bit, who says it’s the soul stealers. She chooses her sister and goes looking for the unicorns who are supposed to save them. What she finds aren’t the cute pastel mythical creatures she expects. Battle unicorns are big and tough and full of attitude. Who knew? 

Unicorns are real and so are the monsters. Soul stealers are reaping the souls of the innocent, and the unicorns are fighting to stop them. But to save the world, they need the help of humans – the enemy they’re dying to protect. And first to sign up for the fight is the ex-boyfriend Scout’s heart won’t stop loving, no matter how determined she is to hate him. 

Excerpt

She tipped her head, and the candlelight glinted against her silky, honey-brown waves. Her hair had always been his undoing.

When they’d been together, he couldn’t keep his hands away from

her hair. Or her face. Her lips, her eyes…

          “What was that on your shoulder?” She was speaking and

he had to drag his mind away from the past and try to figure out

what she was saying.

“My shoulder?”

She crossed the short space between them, hesitating, and

touched his shoulder. “Here.”

He nearly choked. She wasn’t supposed to see that. But now

the sea foam-green eyes were watching him with open curiosity

and her lips were parted... he couldn’t tell her ‘no’. Not then, not

now, not ever. He looked away, staring at the floor as he rolled the

black sleeve of his shirt.

“Forgive me,” she read in a whisper, her finger tracing the

hard black letters tattooed on his arm. Without looking from the

words, she said, “When did you get this?”

“After… while you… before you left the hospital.” His entire

body shook against her soft touch as she traced the ‘F’ again. Did

she realize what she did to him? What she still did to him, even

after all this time? No other girl had ever affected him the way she

did with just the barest touch of her fingertip.
