TESS THE INVENTOR Starring Angelique Marion Berry TESS THE INVENTOR 12-year-old Victorian genius and protege of Nikola Tesla, Lizzie (Tess) Thompson, invents a machine which inadvertently causes every alternate reality to begin merging together - she has broken the Universe... and only she can fix it. When Tess finds herself in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality, circa 2014, she builds the first of many fantastical Steampunk inventions; the steam-powered mechanical man, Electric Bob. Together they set out across the devastated landscape - facing mutant dogs, bottomless crevasses, and a version of Thomas Edison who has an axe to grind with anyone connected to Tesla - to find the parts she needs to rebuild the Cosmic Oscillator. In a race against time and space, Tess reconstructs her reality-bending machine. But before she can activate it, Edison and his Army steal both it and Electric Bob. Tess straps into her Steampunk Da Vinci wings and storms Edisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Castle. Using her inventions to get past Edison, she rescues Electric Bob and activates the Oscillator. Tess, Electric Bob, and Edison are all transported onto a vast plain beside a huge tower; the enormous engine that was meant to keep the myriad realities separated - The Omniversal Library. Tess and Electric Bob sprint to the tower while Edison stirs to consciousness. An Ancient Inventor inside the Tower works to keep the machinery functioning, but the collisions of the Universes are accelerating. Dozens of ghostly Electric Bobs and Edisons are at a stand-off as Tess operates the alien interface to the Library, desperately trying to build energy walls between the collapsing realities. With encouragement from Electric Bob, she succeeds and Edison fades back into his own dimension. Tess and Electric Bob pass through a door into 1898 Steampunk New York, only to find that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really home - in this dimension, Tesla is a missing woman scientist named Nikoleen. And she bears a remarkable resemblance to Tess... Photo by Levy Moroshan

Tess the Inventor is an original screenplay written by Larry Starke and based on a concept by HotSquatch! executive Jacqueline Gault. The concept spoke to Jacqueline both as a parent and as a female who grew up battling gender stereotypes with Disney princesses as role models, and Larry’s grasp of history and science fiction blossomed into an inspirational tale that will provide a positive role model for young women for years to come. Tess is a true role model, a young girl who uses her brains - not her beauty or the brawn of a man - to accomplish her objectives and overcome adversity. There is no knight in shining armor and she is most certainly not a damsel in distress. Tess is a genius mind who uses her wits to solve the biggest problem that has ever faced mankind - the total annihilation of not only our existence, but the existence of every other alternate universe. The core theme in Tess specifically speaks to young women: its ok to be smart, you don’t need to be rescued, and you can be the hero in your own story. The exact opposite of a Disney Princess. No one rescues Tess when she finds herself imprisoned in Edison’s dungeon and her leadership skills guide her to accomplish her objectives and overcome adversity.

Angel B’s designs debut at “Magic” in Las Vegas

Here Angel and her models Rock the stage at Fashion Fusic Live.

Angel B, launches new collection at FUSIC Fashion Live Series during MAGIC. What? She is only 11 years old? The largest fashion expo in the world, which attracts over 250,000 fashionistas, was the spot to be for the youngest Canadian fashion designer; Angel B, who got to walk the runway the night before at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino pre MAGIC fashion expo event held at Body English Afterdark. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine how a new designer could grab attention at a fashion industry event whereover 250,000 attend with intense competition that would make the fierce attention getting anticson the hit reality TV series Project Runway look tame. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what 11 year olddarling fashion designer Angel Berry did.

Angel B has something to jump up and down about, she could be youngest fashion designer inthe world.

Angel quickly got attention from international fashionistas and media who were busy snappingup pictures and video taping her new collection as she walked the floor with her models at MAGIC. Triple threat designer , actress, and music artist Angel B, who flew in from Canada just to get hernew collection launched, summed up her surreal experience when she walked the runway the night before MAGIC and hit up the walkways of the convention center where MAGIC is held. “it was truly an amazing once in a lifetime experience. I cannot believe that I am living this dream” said the designer who presented her first collection of her lifetime. Not bad, she is only 11 years old and showcasing her line before the world’s largest fashion expo in the world. And at11 years old makes her perhaps the youngest fashion designer in the world. Though MAGIC has long been a buyers market where designers meet buyers, the very personable fast rising celebrity Angel B was simply out to introduce herself first, and her models and collection second. Angel has impressed many in show business, she has a TV series being developed, spoken word music projects with Billboard winning music producers heading for Grammy submissions , and so why not go for it and add in a fashion line to go with her brandbuilding going on worldwide.

Angel B on MAGIC Fashion Expo floor wraps up interview with Fashion One Network.

“We have stories, lots of them about these designers, but one that stuck out the most was Angel’s, a super talented young girl who at 11 year old is blowing minds away with her ideas and designs and new start in business” said fashion coordinator Parris Harris. Parris should know. His credits include over 1000 fashion shows from Milan to New York runways.
