The Waterman Movie is an unfinished independent Flash animated comedy film based on the web series Waterman and was in a state of financial difficulty. The film was announced on March 16, 2007 via a blog which was posted on Waterman Studios' official site, stating that a film of the popular series Waterman would be made. The film will feature the voice of comedic actor Leslie Nielsen. Nielsen died on November 28, 2010, but had already completed recording for his part in the film.
The release date was set for winter 2007, then changed to 2008. On January 14, 2008, Bryan Waterman stated that the film was only 40% done. He also stated that the film is "still moving ahead as scheduled." With over a year since any news on the project, a message was posted by him on February 3, 2009 stating, "That 2008 was a busy year for Waterman Studios" and that production of the film had come to a halt. In June 2011 during a live video on Vokle, he mentioned that he was aiming for a release of Christmas 2012, but that did not happen.
Plot
When famed comedy rock duo 16 Buttons of Justice is informed of the tremendous failure that is the 16 Buttons of Justice TV Show, the duo must come up with a plan to send ratings through the roof, before the show is canceled. Soon after hearing that Ready Espanosa, father to 16 Buttons of Justice front man Raccoon X, and a world-famous explorer have gone missing, the duo decides to document their own rescue attempt to save the greatest adventurer of all time.
Crowd funding
In 2010, Bryan Waterman attempted to raise money for the film via Kickstarter with a goal of $35,000. Only $13,384 was pledged by the August deadline, so as per Kickstarter's rules, no money was raised.

Paola Minekov () is a Bulgarian artist who lives and works in London, UK.
Work
The Dancers Series
The complete collection of the Dancers Series was exhibited for the first time as part of the programme of the Varna International Ballet Competition in 2008, in a joint exhibition with Paola's father, the sculptor Ivan Minekov. The exhibition was opened by the organisers of the Competition, covered by the Bulgarian National Television and attended by Élisabeth Platel. The Dancers paintings received critical acclaim by Prof. Dr. V. V. Vanslov, Director of the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Art at The Russian Academy of Arts, Moscow who also attended the exhibition. In 2010 Paola created 3 additional paintings for a Charity Ballet Gala in the Britten Theatre, Royal College of Music in London. The paintings are based on sketches of Celisa Diuana, a dancer from The Royal Ballet and dancers from the Ballet Black Dance Company. In the audience were Dame Vivienne Westwood, Clemency Burton-Hill, Monica Mason & Maina Gielgud.
Description: Great bold strokes uncover composite figures, enveloped in the soft light of the stage. The figure here is just a silhouette, without outlines, and the stroke of colour alone creates the form. The soft gentle tones impart an almost physical sense of light, dispersing and contrasting in the ballet costumes.
The Undercurrents Series
The Undercurrents Series explores the feminine perspective of relationships between lovers, friends and family members. In 2007 the painting Everywoman became the symbol of a research into the psychological impact of genetic breast and ovarian cancer at the Leiden University Medical Centre. In 2011 Everywoman was used on the cover of the research publication. In 2011-2012 Paola collaborated with art critic and author Claudia Moscovici, creating The Seducer painting, inspired by Moscovici's research and novel by the same name, to raise awareness of psychopathic seduction and domestic abuse of women.
The Faberge Big Egg Hunt
In 2012 Paola created Colourful World, one of the 200 giant fibreglass eggs hidden across London as part of The Big Egg Hunt.
She was inspired to paint the globe as an interlocking jigsaw, using primary colours to suggest a playful childlike simplicity which contrasts with the complex reality of geopolitics. The egg was featured in numerous publications in the UK and Bulgaria. It sold at auction for £4350.

David Köhler (known on stage as Pressterror) is a German extratone DJ and producer. His self-proclaimed 'Suizidcore' music genre is characterized with his tracks going from 1000-3600 bpm. Suizidcore is a mixture of terrorcore and extratone mixing hard kicks with 1000BPM beats.
Career
Köhler started his career 15 years ago in Saarbrücken, Germany. In 2001, he discovered his passion for electronic music from using his first record players. Then, he played various hard dance genres until 2005. Since 2002, he produced his own tracks favouring the styles techno, hardcore and Frenchcore. From 2006-2010 he produced many Speedcore and Splittercore tracks. After discovering Terror and Speedcore, he embarked on creating his own unique style, becoming noisier and more extreme. In 2012, Pressterror was known to become one of the fastest and hardest Speedcore artists worldwide from his aggressive style of performance, his pig mask and his style of sound.
His trademarks involve his bloodied pig mask wrapped in barbed wire and his unconventional live performances. These acts include, but are not limited to: injecting himself with a syringe filled with "DRRRRRR!" (resembling the sound of the fast beats), the simulating of automutulation by sawing into himself with the use of fake blood, and strangling himself.
Controversy
Pressterror was featured in an episode of Viceland's Big Night Out, where Pressterror is considered as 'public enemy number 1' by a certain Christian group due to his blasphemous and immoral behaviour. The episode also includes an interview with Pressterror himself, quoting his listeners who tell him that "the music is not dancable to, because it's too fast" and that "Pressterror's music drives people insane, makes them wanna jump through the walls and commit suicide".
