RFK Media has branched out into the movie business, releasing the Mantaray Pictures feature film BEGINNING OF THE END in time for Halloween and the 2025 holiday season. The movie stars rocker and very longtime HardRadio friend Ron Keel (KEEL), Playboy model Kaitlyn Jaynne, actress Melody Portnoy (daughter of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy), and features a cameo by Mark "The Animal" Mendoza (ex-Twisted Sister). It weaves together four short films rooted around the theme of Artificial Intelligence making people kill each other on the same night (in the same world) in almost linear time in different ways. "Making the movie was a great experience," Ron Keel comments. "I portray Ray, the next-door neighbor, an ordinary guy thrust into a very extraordinary situation. Not to give too much away, but there is some screaming involved, and I've had had a lot of practice acting like that!"
