    U.S. Polo Assn. Celebrates Historic Title Sponsorship of 2025 Pacific Coast Open at Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club

    Global Sports Brand Marks Eighth Year Partnering with the Iconic West Coast Polo Club

    SANTA BARBARA, CA AND WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), proudly marked a major milestone this past weekend as the Title Sponsor of the 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Pacific Coast Open, held August 15-31 at the iconic Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. This prestigious tournament, known as the crown jewel of West Coast polo, brought together top-tier talent and record-breaking crowds for one of the sport’s most celebrated events.

    For the first time, U.S. Polo Assn. served as the Title Sponsor of the 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Pacific Coast Open, one of the oldest and most revered polo tournaments in the world, dating back to 1908. As part of a broader partnership, U.S. Polo Assn. also served as the Official Apparel Brand and Stadium Sponsor of the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club for the 2025 season, extending its relationship with the club into its eighth consecutive year.

    “U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to have supported the Pacific Coast Open for many years, as one of the most historic and prestigious tournaments in the world, and this year we are thrilled to be the Pacific Coast Open’s Title Sponsor,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Our longstanding partnership and collaboration with the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club as Official Apparel Brand and Stadium Sponsor, gives U.S. Polo Assn. the wonderful opportunity to celebrate the brand’s authentic connection to the sport and its heritage, alongside polo players, fans, and the Santa Barbara community through this exceptional event.”

    Throughout the tournament, U.S. Polo Assn. hosted branded activations and offered exclusive 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Pacific Coast Open merchandise, available both on-site at the Santa Barbara Club Boutique and online at uspashop.com. The sports brand also collaborated with fellow Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club partners for lifestyle and social content opportunities, further celebrating the authentic connection between the sport, fashion, and California culture.

    The tournament featured an elite lineup of athletes, including U.S. Polo Assn. Brand Ambassador Nico Escobar, who took the field for Team La Karina. In an action-packed final game, La Karina secured its first-ever Pacific Coast Open title with a 12-10 win over Carbenella. La Karina’s Felipe “Pipe” Vercellino delivered a dominant performance and earned Most Valuable Player honors after scoring nine of his team’s twelve goals.

    “The U.S. Polo Assn. brand continues to enhance the sports experience for players, fans, and our community for the prestigious Pacific Coast Open,” said Henry Walker, President of the Board of Directors for Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. “The long-standing partnership between U.S. Polo Assn. and the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club is a true testament to our shared passion for the sport.”

    The 2025 U.S. Polo Assn. Pacific Coast Open remains the most coveted prize in West Coast polo and is a symbol of tradition, excellence, and competitive spirit. With U.S. Polo Assn.’s title sponsorship, this year’s event elevated not only the level of play but also the lifestyle and experience for fans and players.

  • Gold Terra Announces Drill Target Preparation for the Con Mine, Yellowknife, NWT

    Gold Terra Announces Drill Target Preparation for the Con Mine, Yellowknife, NWT

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSXV:YGT)(Frankfurt:TX0)(OTCQX:YGTFF) (“Gold Terra” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on our 2025-2026 drilling strategy along the past producing Campbell Shear (CS) with an objective to delineate additional potential gold mineralized zones.

    Con Mine Option (CMO) Focus

    The 2025-2026 exploration program includes:

    • An evaluation of the year-end 2002 historical resources (650,000 ounces @11-12 g/t 3 (See further in this press release)) between surface and the current depth of the Robertson shaft (-1,900 metres) at a different Cut-Off Grade (COG).

    • This evaluation will provide drill targets in an area where the historical resource was left behind unmined during a low gold price environment (2002) of US$340 per ounce of gold.

    • Preparation of drill holes targets in the Yellorex trend of the CS where the Company has already outlined a Mineral Resources Estimates (MRE) in 20222 (See further in this press release), and where additional ounces have the potential to be added between surface and 700 metre depth.

    • The Company has also received two Government (GNWT) Mineral Incentives grants totaling $257,560 for the Con Mine drilling and for the Walsh Lake area north of Yellowknife.

    • A Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) followed by Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) after completion of the drill program.

    Under the CMO agreement, the Company has the right to acquire 100% of the CMO property from a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions set out in the agreement, as reported in the Company’s news release dated November 22, 2021. Gold Terra’s option on the CMO with Newmont is until Nov 21, 2027, supporting ongoing CS drilling and potential resource growth.

    In addition, additional exploration targets along the CS and its subsidiaries would be evaluated on the adjoining 100% owned district scale Yellowknife Project which has tremendous potential for the discovery of additional mineral resources, beyond the current 1,207,000 inferred ounces (MRE September 20221 See further in pressrelease).

    Chairman and CEO, Gerald Panneton, commented, “When we signed the 100% purchase option of the Con Mine in November 2021, the gold price was hovering between US$1600 and 1750 per ounce. As we have entered a new gold momentum window with the gold price sitting well above US$3500, this is a game changer. Our CMO and current district scale land holdings have tremendous exploration potential to add additional ounces to our current mineral resources. Gold Terra has 100% access to one of the largest past-producing high-grade gold belts in Canada along the prolific Campbell Shear. Over the last few months, we have been preparing our drilling targets along the Campbell Shear, and we look forward to executing our next program.”

    A long section showing the 2025-2026 drill target areas is shown in the figure below:

    Yellowknife Project 2021 MRE1 :

    The Yellowknife Project has an extensive land position over 836 square kilometres covering 70 kilometers of the CS and the previous exploration indicates the potential to host multiple deposits. To date, the Yellowknife Project’s contiguous Northbelt Property has a March 2021 mineral resource estimate of 1,207,000 inferred ounces 15 km north of the Con Mine and the city of Yellowknife in 4 satellite deposits, with the Crestaurum open pit @ 6 g/t Au (see Gold Terra’s Oct. 21, 2022 Technical Report).

    For current resource estimates please refer to the October 21, 2022 technical report, titled “Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the CMO Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada” with an effective date of September 2, 2022, by Qualified Person, Allan Armitage, Ph. D., P. Geo., SGS Geological Services, which can be found on the Company’s website at https://www.goldterracorp.com and on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.com.

    Con Mine Historical Reserve3 :

    The Con Mine closed in 2003 when the gold price was around US$ 340 per ounce, with approximately 650,000 ounces at 11-12 g/t Au in historic reserves and combined resources as shown in the table below. Please refer to the October 21, 2022 technical report, titled “Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the CMO Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada” with an effective date of September 2, 2022, by Qualified Person, Allan Armitage, Ph. D., P. Geo., SGS Geological Services, which can be found on the Company’s website at https://www.goldterracorp.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

    *Note: The Historic Reserves and Resources quoted above are historical in nature and are not NI 43-101 compliant. They were compiled and reported by MNML during its operation and closure of the Con Mine (2003). Con Mine Ore Reserve Statement January 1st 2003, including:

    The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Joseph Campbell, a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Senior Technical Advisor for the Company.

    About Gold Terra

    The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 918 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilmetres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the prolific Campbell Shear, where approximately 14 Moz of gold has been produced, (refer to Gold Terra Oct 21, 2022, Technical Report) and most recently on the CMO property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003).

    The YP and CMO properties lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company’s exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company’s objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

    Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources

    Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource could ever be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of “Measured Mineral Resources,” “Indicated Mineral Resources,” or “Inferred Mineral Resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource estimates contained herein may be subject to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of such mineral resources. Refer to the Technical Report, once filed, for more information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Historic Resource Estimates and Newmont Corporation’s Involvement

    The historic reserve/resource estimates referenced in this press release, which were compiled during the operation and closure of the Con Mine by Newmont’s predecessor company (2003), are provided for historic context only. These estimates do not reflect Newmont’s current resource base. Gold Terra is solely responsible for the exploration and verification of these resources, and any updated estimates will need to comply with current industry standards. Newmont Corporation is not responsible for Gold Terra’s exploration activities, nor for any resource updates or future developments related to the CMO property.

    Cautionary Note to United States Investors

    The Company prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to Mineral Resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended (“CIM Standards”). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources”, which are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.

    U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are “substantially similar” to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Resources that the Company may report as “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Mineral Resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of “Inferred Mineral Resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

    Certain statements made and information contained in this news release constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (“forward-looking information“). Generally, this forward-looking information can, but not always, be identified by use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events, conditions or results “will”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotations thereof.

    All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking information regarding the current drilling on the Campbell Shear, potentially adding ounces to the Company’s current YCG mineral resource, and the Company’s objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

    There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as the Company’s actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s most recent MD&A and annual information form available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

    Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that would cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on information available to the Company as of the date of this news release. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. All of the forward-looking information contained in this news release is qualified by these cautionary statements.

  • Newsmax Files Lawsuit Against Fox News

    Newsmax Files Lawsuit Against Fox News

    Landmark Federal Antitrust Case Seeks Significant Damages

    BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) (“Newsmax” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company’s subsidiary, Newsmax Broadcasting, LLC, has filed a major federal antitrust lawsuit against Fox Corporation and Fox News Network, LLC (collectively, “Fox”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

    The suit, led by prominent antitrust litigators at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., accuses Fox of engaging in an extensive and unlawful campaign to block competition in the market for right-leaning pay television news, including Newsmax.

    Newsmax’s action seeks damages under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, the Florida Antitrust Act, and the Florida Deceptive & Unfair Trade Practices Act. Under federal law, any damages awarded in this case will be trebled – meaning Fox faces significant financial liability if Newsmax prevails.

    The complaint alleges that Fox has abused its dominance in the right-leaning pay TV news market for years by coercing distributors into unfair carriage agreements designed to exclude or marginalize competitors like Newsmax.

    Fox News, described in the complaint as a “must-have” channel for distributors, leverages its market power to impose restrictions that harm consumers, stifle competition, and drive up costs across the pay TV ecosystem.

    Among the exclusionary tactics detailed in the complaint:

    • No-Carry Provisions: Fox conditions access to Fox News on agreements by distributors not to carry or to restrict competing right-leaning news channels.

    • Financial Penalties: If distributors carry Newsmax, Fox forces them to also carry low-demand channels like Fox Business or Fox Sports 2 in their most widely viewed tiers – triggering potentially tens of millions in extra fees.

    • Confidential Drag-Down Provisions: These clauses penalize distributors for placing Newsmax in basic packages by requiring simultaneous promotion of Fox’s less popular channels.

    • Intimidation Campaigns: Fox has allegedly pressured its guests to not appear on Newsmax, as well as has run online smear campaigns and hired private investigators targeting Newsmax executives to damage the Company’s credibility.

    The result, the complaint asserts, is that Fox has deliberately blocked Newsmax’s growth in critical distribution platforms such as Hulu, Sling, Fubo, and other major platforms.

    Internal Fox communications cited in the complaint reveal that senior executives and talent saw Newsmax as a competitive threat following the 2020 election. Texts, emails, and memoranda show Fox leaders acknowledging that Newsmax’s growing audience could “drastically change the landscape” of cable news, including:

    • Then-Fox host Tucker Carlson warned that “an alternative like Newsmax could be devastating to us.”

    • Fox News President Jay Wallace told CEO Suzanne Scott that Fox was on “war footing” over Newsmax’s rise.

    • Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch instructed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott that Newsmax “should be watched” as a result of press stories about the network.

    • Other executives tracked Newsmax’s bookings and content, openly strategizing about ways to contain the new competitor.

    Harm to Competition and Consumers

    The lawsuit alleges that Fox’s exclusionary conduct has had far-reaching consequences:

    • Higher Prices: By blocking competition, Fox has extracted supracompetitive carriage fees – charging distributors nearly $2.20 per subscriber per month, double CNN’s fees and six times MSNBC’s. These inflated costs have been or likely will be passed on to consumers.

    • Reduced Consumer Choice: Millions of right-leaning viewers who want an alternative have been denied access to Newsmax on affordable basic packages, leaving Fox as the only viable option.

    • Delayed Growth of Newsmax: Fox’s practices have prevented Newsmax from reaching critical mass with distributors, advertisers, and audiences, costing the Company hundreds of millions in lost carriage fees and advertising revenue.

    “Fox has sought to protect and expand its monopoly power in the right-leaning pay TV news market by engaging in a suite of anticompetitive behaviors,” the complaint states. Fox’s unlawful and exclusionary conduct “has harmed not just Newsmax and other competitors,” but also “consumers and competition itself.”

    Newsmax is represented by Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., and Sperling Kenny Nachwalter, LLC, two of the nation’s premier antitrust litigation firms.

    Both firms have extensive experience taking on monopolistic conduct and have successfully litigated complex cases involving dominant players in telecommunications, media, pharmaceuticals, and technology.

    “Fox’s behavior represents a textbook abuse of monopoly power,” said Michael J. Guzman, lead counsel for Newsmax at Kellogg Hansen. “The law is clear: competition, not coercion, should decide what news channels Americans can watch. By leveraging its must-have status, Fox has blocked new voices, suppressed consumer choice, and extracted excess profits.”

    “Fox may have profited from exclusionary contracts and intimidation tactics for years, but those days are over,” said Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax CEO. “This lawsuit is about restoring fairness to the market and ensuring that Americans have real choice in the news they watch. If we prevail, Fox’s damages could be tripled under federal law – an outcome that would send a powerful message to any company that thinks it can monopolize public discourse.”

    The complaint underscores that Fox’s conduct harms not just Newsmax, but the competitive process itself. By keeping rivals off affordable distribution packages, Fox has denied millions of Americans the diversity of viewpoints that a healthy marketplace of ideas requires.

    “American democracy depends on a vibrant and competitive media landscape,” Ruddy added. “Fox has acted as a gatekeeper, silencing emerging voices and overcharging consumers. Our lawsuit seeks not only justice for Newsmax, but also to protect the rights of viewers who deserve choice and fair pricing.”

    Newsmax is asking the federal court to:

    • Declare Fox’s conduct unlawful under federal and state antitrust laws.

    • Award monetary damages as permitted by law.

    • Enjoin Fox from continuing exclusionary contracts and monopolistic practices.

    • Order equitable relief to restore competition in right-leaning pay TV news.

    The center is located on Cottage Grove Road (Rt. 218) in Bloomfield, a suburb of Hartford. The surrounding area includes employers such as Cigna, MetLife, and Waste Management, and is near Bradley International Airport and the University of Hartford. Nearly 75,000 residents live within a three-mile radius, with average household incomes above $115,000.

    “We are pleased to expand our geographic footprint into the Hartford market with the acquisition of Copaco Center via our Sterling Value Add Partners IV Fund. Having been familiar with the property for nearly a decade, our team is excited to enhance its value through targeted management, strategic leasing, and other value-add initiatives. These efforts should strengthen Copaco Center’s role in serving the local community while delivering strong results for our investor partners,” said Jordan Fried, a Principal of Sterling Organization.

    “We’d like to thank Chris Angelone and Zach Nitsche with JLL’s Retail Capital Markets team for their collaboration on this transaction. We truly appreciate the relationship and their entire team’s professionalism from start to finish,” added Mr. Fried.

    ePropelled Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification for Quality Management System

    Certification underscores ePropelled’s commitment to quality, continuous improvement and operational excellence in electric propulsion solutions

    LACONIA, NEW HAMPSHIRE / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / ePropelled, a global leader in uncrewed vehicle solutions for air, land and sea – announced today that its quality management system has been certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard by NQA, an independent accredited certification body. The certification was awarded on August 7, 2025, and applies to all of ePropelled’s divisions and product lines, covering the design, engineering and manufacturing operations at the company’s headquarters and manufacturing center in New Hampshire, as well as its research and development facilities in the United Kingdom and India. This achievement marks a significant milestone in ePropelled’s pursuit of the highest international quality standards.

    ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system, providing a framework for organizations to consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements. Achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to quality, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

    In ePropelled’s case, the certification process involved a rigorous evaluation of its enterprise-wide quality management system. The company underwent extensive internal preparations – documenting processes, implementing quality controls and training employees – followed by a comprehensive external audit. ePropelled’s certification was achieved after an extensive audit, which verified that the company met all ISO 9001:2015 requirements. This thorough, third-party audit examined ePropelled’s processes, documentation and operational practices to ensure they adhere to the stringent criteria of the standard.

    “This achievement is a significant milestone for ePropelled and a testament to our team’s dedication to quality and excellence,” said Nick Grewal, ePropelled’s Founder and CEO. “ISO 9001:2015 certification aligns with our strategic vision to deliver innovative propulsion solutions for unmanned air, land and sea vehicles. It reinforces our commitment to embedding unmatched quality in everything we do and assures our customers that ePropelled operates to the highest international standards.”

    With the ISO 9001:2015 certification in place, ePropelled strengthens its position as a trusted partner for customers in aerospace, defense, and commercial UAV markets where rigorous quality standards are paramount. The certification provides assurance to clients and partners that ePropelled’s products and services are developed under a robust, globally benchmarked quality management system, thereby reducing risk and enhancing reliability.

    “Implementing the ISO 9001:2015 standard required us to enhance our organization at every level,” said Richard Edwards, ePropelled’s Director of Operations. “We streamlined and documented our processes, invested in employee training and fostered a culture of continuous improvement. The organizational and operational improvements needed for this certification were substantial – but as a result, we are now a more efficient, cohesive and quality-driven company. This effort has not only earned us the certification, it has made us stronger in how we operate.”

    This milestone also aligns with ePropelled’s core mission to supply superior products that meet or exceed customer expectations while continuously improving its processes to enhance customer satisfaction. By meeting the ISO 9001:2015 standard, ePropelled not only demonstrates compliance with international best practices but also underscores its long-term commitment to operational excellence and customer success.

  • The Keefer Brothers Launch “Digital Basecamp” – to Deliver Raw Storytelling, Mindset, and Strategy Content Born From the Wild

    The Keefer Brothers Launch “Digital Basecamp” – to Deliver Raw Storytelling, Mindset, and Strategy Content Born From the Wild

    MIDLAND, MICHIGAN / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Chris and Casey Keefer, known worldwide as The Keefer Brothers, announce the launch of a digital basecamp, a new member-driven content hub and companion app that brings together adventure storytelling, skill-building courses, personal growth content, leadership lessons, and a proven mindset system for those seeking more out of life.

    For 25 years, the Keefer Brothers have lived the life they share on screen, building brands, scaling businesses, producing award-winning content and television series, all while forging their approach to life in the most unforgiving environments. Enduring over 365+ days off-grid, they have developed a deep playbook of skills, strategies, and mindset frameworks that fuse raw outdoor roots with elite entrepreneurial execution.

    The digital basecamp will serve as the home for:

    • The Code: A Wilderness Forged Operating System for Life – A framework that blends hard-earned lessons from the wild with real-world strategies to help members push limits and thrive in modern life.

    • Skill-Building Hunt Academy – In-depth, on-demand educational modules led by industry experts. The first course, Alaska DIY 101, distills 15 years of experience into a step-by-step guide for planning and executing a successful DIY Alaska hunt.

    • Exclusive Hunting and Fishing Content – Behind-the-scenes footage, Dropped archives, and original film series like Generation Wild, a high adventure youth-focused collaboration with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.

    • Personal Growth Resources – Practical tools to apply wilderness lessons to daily life, relationships, and business.

    • Community & Access – Member forums, live Q&As, challenges, and exclusive opportunities to connect directly with the Keefer Brothers.

    • Contests and Experiences – Opportunities to win hunts, participate in skunkworks projects, gear-giveaways, and once-in-a-lifetime expeditions.

    “We’ve built brands, survived off the land, and spent decades learning what it takes to thrive in high-stakes environments, in the wild and in business,” says Chris Keefer. “This content hub brings that experience together for people ready to challenge themselves and live a bigger story.”

    This digital basecamp takes the Keefer Brothers’ mission beyond entertainment, creating a space where adventure fuels growth. Future plans include interactive experiences, exclusive gear drops, and collaborations with outdoor brands and creators.

    “Our scars become your skills,” adds Casey Keefer. “The wild taught us to suffer with purpose, lead with grit, and live with fire. We’ve thrived in the toughest places on earth, but this is where we plant our flag for the future, for those ready to climb life’s second mountain and live a story worth telling.”

    The Keefer Brothers’ digital basecamp is available now at www.keeferbrothers.com, with the companion app available on Apple and Google Play stores.

Their approach to life is built upon fire-tested leadership, faith-driven freedom and unapologetic self-reliance. They’re here to cultivate a mindset that outlives them.

  • 2.8 Million Views in 48 Hours for Full Moon and ReelShort’s Vertical Thriller DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY

    2.8 Million Views in 48 Hours for Full Moon and ReelShort’s Vertical Thriller DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY

    LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Venerable independent genre film distributor Full Moon’s first collaboration with successful vertical media app ReelShort, the Charles Band produced and directed DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY, has already reached an impressive viewership of nearly three million streamers since its Sept. 1 premiere. The erotic, dramatic thriller (the first vertical entertainment to be filmed in Italy) stars ReelShort/vertical media superstars Nicole Mattox and Eric Guillmette, along with Felix Merback, (who also serves as an executive producer) and has been getting rave reviews from ReelShort fans and subscribers, with many of them calling it “Hot,” “Bold” and “Unforgettable.”

    Synopsis: After a near-fatal car crash shatters her body and breaks her spirit, journalist Emily [Mattox] escapes to a remote rural region of Italy, only to find herself ensnared in the mysterious and forbidden “Dungeons of Ecstasy.” Here, in the darkest chambers of the dungeon, Emily’s captor – who uncannily resembles her long lost ex-husband – forces her through a series of dangerous, sensual trials that awaken taboo memories and a love she’s never known.

    DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY is available now exclusively through the ReelShort app as a sexy, cling-hanging 61 episode series. An extended, alternate version will be available as a fully edited feature on the Full Moon Features streaming channel as well as Amazon Prime at a later date. The vertical media format has taken the streaming entertainment universe by storm. A recent article in The Washington Post claimed that the popularity of platforms like ReelShort rests in the fact that these “mini-dramas combine the adrenaline-fueled rhythm of TikTok with the familiarity of a romance novel” – and DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY is no exception. The series has also been making waves in genre film publications like JoBlo.com and Rue Morgue, making Full Moon’s first foray into the medium a groundbreaking out-of-the-box success.
