SUMMARY: The St. Louis International Film Festival features Dan Peres’ film “Vision,” which took several years to produce due to funding challenges exacerbated by COVID-19. The film, about a bullied high school student who discovers magical glasses from an old man, explores themes of perception and escape. It will be screened on November 9 at Lindenwood University and November 14 at BNB Theatre in Creve Coeur, with hopes of winning awards, possibly even an Oscar. Peres highlights the rich filmmaking talent in St. Louis and the support available through new tax credits and grants for local filmmakers.

Dan Parris, Director of the film ‘Vision’, joins the morning show to talk about the movie and the 33rd annual St. Louis International Film Festival, which takes place from Nov. 7-17 at various locations across St. Louis. For more information, visit cinemastlouis.org

SUMMARY: A devastating fire in Eureka destroyed a home in the popular Legends community. The Biederman family, including Jeff, his wife Brianna, and their two young children, lost most of their possessions but escaped unharmed. They credit their Doberman Pinscher for alerting them to the fire, allowing them to evacuate in time. The fire, which began around midnight, quickly engulfed both the house and garage. Despite losing a cat in the blaze, the family managed to save their other pets. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and several fire departments helped battle the flames.

Eureka Assistant Fire Chief Scott Berthelmas says that his crew received the call for the fire just before midnight. While on the way to the fire, officials say crews could see the flames from afar. By the time fire crews arrived on the scene, both the home and the attached garage were already fully engulfed in flames.

SUMMARY: A lawsuit against former pediatrician Craig Spiegel, initiated by attorney Ben Crump and local attorney Kayla Onder, focuses on allegations of trading drugs for sexual favors from patients. At a news conference, a former patient, Mallory, emphasized that abuses should be held accountable, claiming Spiegel exploited women and children under the pretense of medical treatment. SSM Health, which previously housed Spiegel, denied any employment relationship with him. Federal prosecutors revealed that at least 25 individuals received controlled substances from Spiegel in exchange for sexual acts. Additional abuse allegations spanning a decade may surface, although no court date has been set.

A former pediatrician and SSM Health are now the focus of a lawsuit filed by nationally known attorney Ben Crump and local attorney Kayla Onder.
