Interview with Rita White - Publicist and President of Conscious Publicity
Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager www.hpiparanormal.net President www.jazmaonline.com
Question: What is a publicist and what is it that they do?

A publicist is someone who communicates with the media on the behalf of someone else. We help our clients get publicity. That includes, talk shows, Internet TV, radio shows, magazines, newspaper interviews and anything that helps the client get seen. We might get contacted by a show requesting one of our psychics to appear on an episode and we'll gladly take care of the details. Conscious Publicity my company deals with actors, models and authors for the most part, but Conscious Publicity’s division “Spiritual Publicity is for our; psychics, mediums, shamans, healers and paranormal investigators." It is the front-running source for psychics in the press. When the industry needs an expert in the paranormal field, they eagerly turn to “Spiritual Publicity”. I guess in short our job is simply to make people as famous as we can.


Question: Why did you decide to help psychics? Most publicist don't have a lot of psychics on their roster.

I am a spiritual person, or at least I think I am. In my own quest for knowledge I have found many people looking for guidance and help. The people that do help are usually the ones who see beyond the normal. They can guide us by telling us what happens after we die, or help us communicate with a dead loved one or even give us a sneak peak into the future. It wasn't that long ago that talking about this sort of thing was taboo. Now the world is begging for information and I have a chance to be apart of that movement. When I get a psychic on a show, or when I connect a radio show with the Shaman, I know I am helping at least one person out there, one person who is looking for help.

Question: What song is your favorite and when people hear it, should be thinking of you?

Return To Innocents by Enigma

Question: What accomplishment in your life would you consider as your 'major accomplishment'? Please explain.
Many accomplishments come to mind, but the major one is making real lasting friends. When I need someone to have fun with there is a friend ready and willing to do something with me. When I am sad and need a friend there is one waiting to talk to me. I am a very lucky person, because of who I surround myself with.

Question: How are you involved in your clients TV shows?

We'll I talk with people from Animal Planet, A&E, Vh1, MTV and Sci Fi to name a few. I pitch them story ideas and introduce them to my clients and that get some of my clients on TV shows. Sometimes producers and casting directors contact us about a client and I take care of all the details. I am a go between to make my clients life easier.

Question: How did you meet your team of psychics?

Well, I met Belinda Bentley first. She was my original Celebrity Psychic. Being familiar with the psychic circuit she began to introduce me to psychics she knew and respected. After that the psychics began contacting us. We don't take every psychic who comes our way, we go with the ones who have a reputation for being nothing short of amazing, but also desire to help others and I mean truly help others. When people meet my psychic they know there is something genuine about them. That is why they are sought out by Hollywood.

Question: Are you psychic?
From what my psychics tell me everyone is, do I think I am...no! However I live vicariously through my clients stories and experiences.

Question: What are you trying to accomplish with your psychic team?

I look at each of my psychics as an individual. They each are unique and have a special gift. So I believe each one of them has their own purpose here. It is nice to know that you have a powerful clientele that will make the world a better place. My main goal with my clients is to help them reach as many people as possible.


Question: What projects do you have coming up in the future?
We are currently publicising a lot of projects. One of those project being a white knuckle thriller about the law of attraction, fate changing decisions and facing the past, “Outrage” was produced and directed by Ace Cruz. Starring the talented Michael Madsen (Sin City, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs) and Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, Slums of Beverly Hills), this highly-acclaimed film also received additional accolades from the AOF with nominations for Best Villain, Best Visual Effects and Best Action Sequence.

Pauly D Entertainment, in conjunction with Spirit Films, LLC, announce that they have inked a contract with Phase 4 Films, Inc. to distribute their film, in both the United States and Canada. Honored earlier this summer at the 2009 Action on Film (AOF) International Film Festival in Pasadena, Calif., “Outrage” was named Best Sci-Fi Picture of the Year.

One of our touching projects is a film in which Catherine Black stars in titled "The Donner Party", formerly known as Forlorn. The movie is hitting the Austin Film Festival this October! Based on the real events of The Donner Party tragedy, The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the western expansion of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in Sierra Nevada at what is now called Donner Pass during the winter of 1846-1847 they resorted to cannibalism until they were rescued. It is about what people will do to survive!

My client Larry Guli will be on Curb Your Enthusiasm on October 25, 2009. He also has a reoccurring role on the longest running Hollywood soap opera, General Hospital as Uncle Paulie the mobster.Before becoming an actor Larry began working at the New York Stock Exchange and it wasn’t long before he became a managing partner in one of the most prestigious specialist firms on the floor. He is still a day trader and gives day trading advice.
Larry also plays Senior Professional Golf in the Senior Series, the second major senior tour in the country and he uses his skills for children's charities when ever he can.

Those are just a few of our up coming projects. There are other projects we are working on and they are confidential right now. Keep an eye out for our psychics though!


Question: If there is something you have not accomplished, what would it be and why would you like to accomplish this feat?

Sky diving! I wish I could do it and maybe one day I will get brave enough. To be able to fly is nothing short of amazing and to get over a rational fear that you could be jumping to your death out of a plane at 30,000 feet would be a huge accomplishment. It would mean I was brave...or stupid. Either way, I'd like to do it. I don't like the feeling that fear is stopping me.


Question: What are your favorite movies, TV shows, cartoons?

CSI, 60 minutes, The Amazing Race, Unsolved Mysteries, and anything with psychics solving cases.


Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?
I enjoy cooking and gardening on my days off. Every now and then I check out a great movie like "The Proposal."



Question: What is your company called?

My company's name is Conscious Publicity.


Question: How can someone contact you?

SpiritualPublicity@gmail.com

Question: Do you have a website that we can visit?

www.consciouspublicity.com


Question: This ends your interview. Thank you so much. Any words of wisdom for your fans?

Yes, do what you love and love what you do. It has made decision making in my life so much easier. The reason I do the work I do is because I do what I love and the reason I get to do that, is because my client choose to do what they love too, then they bring me on board so that I can help them continue to do what they love. It is a beautiful working machine.
