FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, March 19, 2012

Amanda Tapping, Zak Santiago and director Katrin Bowen of “Random Acts of Romance”, will be appearing on entertainment show, “Get Cooking with the Stars”.

Vancouver, British Columbia (Monday, March 19 2012) – “Get Cooking with the Stars”, is pleased to announce that the stars and director of the film “Random Acts of Romance” (RAOR) will be featured in an upcoming episode.
