COLUMBUS, OH – The finale of Love Is Quarantine: Greek Style will be live streaming on the CYA Live platform on Thursday, May 14, 8 PM EST, and will also debut on Instagram TV on Friday morning. The Greek-American creators and sisters Elizabeth and Kaki Tzagournis and a special Greek guest will host the Love Is Quarantine: Greek Style finale watch party event. Love Is Quarantine: Greek Style features 12 Greek-American men and women from across the nation who go on blind virtual dates. Based on the hit Netflix series Love Is Blind, the show follows different couples who connect over their shared Greek heritage. Some couples fizzled or were “friend zoned” while others moved to the third and final night. The remaining four couples will go on their last date before finally seeing one another during the live finale event and discover if love between Greek-Americans in quarantine is actually blind.

In a time of social distancing, Cyalive.com has become one of the many social outlets that still allows us to connect with others while enjoying some of our favorite films.

Fans were able to interact and ask questions while reliving their favorite parts of the movie. This week Cya Live brought Marc Altman and Daren Dochterman to join the discussion as Trekkies from around the world gathered together to watch and discuss Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Nicole Conn has been a die-hard romantic, classical pianist and black and white film fan from the age of nine and an avid reader and writer since the age of six. Her latest and seventh film as a writer/director, “More Beautiful… for Having Been Broken” holds a very strong message about children with special needs and the extraordinary relationship between mothers and daughters. Though pandemic isolation prevents us from hosting a face-to-face Red Carpet Premiere in Los Angeles, Vision Films came up with a very cool International Interactive Live Stream Vimeo Event where the cast and crew will be able to chat with the audience as they watch the film. A Q&A after the film will include Cast Members: Zoe Ventoura, Kayla Radomski, Cale Ferrin, Harley Jane Kozak, and Gabrielle Baba-Conn, along with Producer, Lissa Forehan and myself. .
