A love triangle, sibling rivalry, a May-December romance – all of these elements make up the popular web series, Stirred, Not Shaken, and after two years of producing this juicy series, Kysa Siovan is calling it quits….to the way she has been approaching the show.
“It’s not enough to create a good show, I realized the best way for a web series to be successful is to make it a marketing tool for businesses,” says Kysa, who has been writing, directing and co-starring in the popular show.
Needless to say, wearing multiple hats has been a challenge and getting people to understand exactly what a web series is has been even harder. The talented actress (who is also a singer and musician) states that Stirred, Not Shaken “is an urban soap opera shown exclusively on the Internet,” but now her “urban soap” can be seen on television in Nashville on NECAT Channel 19, an achievement that is unheard of in the web series craze. This welcomed boost in exposure adds more responsibility to her plate, “most people who are watching the show on TV have never heard of it and since the show is based in Nashville, I have to make sure it represents Nashville in a positive light.”
Based on the positive reviews of Stirred, Not Shaken, Kysa is moving the show in the right direction. Gearing up for the release of the “season finale” of the show, she promises to leave her growing audience wanting more which includes loyal viewers from Canada and Paris, France.
“In addition to showcasing local talent on Stirred, Not Shaken, it’s my duty to show the public what a web series can do as far as promoting. People place emphasis on advertising on their local television or radio station, but with the Internet the possibilities are endless,” adding that right now she is offering free advertising and has the ability to film at local establishments.
“You never know, someone in St. Louis could watch us and see your restaurant or clothing store on the show and want to visit when they come to Nashville. With technology, you have to think outside of the box in terms of marketing and you can start with Stirred, Not Shaken.”
Currently, we are on channels 10 & 19 in Nashville, but if you live outside of Nashville, wouldn’t you like to see us on TV? If so, send an email to circleproductions@comcast.net and give us the channel and/or website to your local community access channel!
We couldn’t let this month pass us by without showing support for breast cancer awareness month. In this segment of “Cookin‘ with Cortez Lee”, our host makes a healthy and delicious broccoli casserole – broccoli is a great cancer fighting food. Peep the ingredients, finished product and video below…
You will need:
Cookware: skillet, pot, 16” – 24”casserole dish or aluminum pan, chopping knife, spatula, fork, spoon, glass bowl, can opener, measuring cup/spoon, large mixing spoon
1 ½ to 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast 1 ½ cups of white rice 1 – 16oz pack of bacon or diced ham 2 eggs 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1 packet of shredded cheddar cheese 2 small containers of cream cheese (or 1 large container) 1 medium can of mushroom soup 1 can of whole kernel corn 2 tablespoons of cooking oil 2 bags of frozen unseasoned broccoli pieces Pepper Jack Cheez Its
Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or until soft.
Place rice in a pot, cover rice with 1 inch of water (3 – 5 cups depending on the pot), add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of salt on medium –high heat. Cover the pot with a lid but leave an opening for the steam to escape. Let the water boil down until you see holes in the rice. Stir rice with large spoon, add water until rice is barely covered then allow water to cook down again until the holes appear. roughly 15 minutes.
Cook the entire pack of bacon in a skillet. Be sure to save the grease by pouring it into a glass bowl. Allow bacon to cool then chop into bits/pieces.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Rinse chicken breast; add bacon grease to skillet over medium heat. (if using ham instead of bacon, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil). Place all chicken breast into the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid but leave an opening for the steam to escape. Cook chicken 7-9 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from heat but allow it to remain in the skillet if possible. Allow chicken to cool at your discretion then chop the chicken with a knife.
Whisk the 2 eggs in a large bowl then add salt and pepper. Drain the can of corn, then mix all ingredients (not the shredded cheese, grease, or oil) into the eggs.
Mix thoroughly then transfer mixture to a casserole dish. Place casserole dish in over for 15 minutes.
Crush 2 cups of Pepper Jack Cheez It in a sandwich bag. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter (slice butter thinly for even melting in the microwave). Place crushed Cheez Its in melted butter until all are evenly coated.
Remove casserole; top with shredded cheese and Cheez Its. Return dish to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let dish stand for 10 minutes. Serves 10 – 14 hearty appetites.
