Short Summary
I found him and what a journey it was! I am among many who grow up without a parent. In my case it was my father. I remember him when I was very young and then he was no longer in my life after my mother moved from Nashville. Life went on for me but I never forgot my daddy and he never forgot me! I found him in Mississippi! I even wrote a song about it.
I wrote a book about our journey and it's being developed as a movie to inspire others! We have a company that is excited to help package it for funding but the services are fee based. Well, this is round three and with your support, I'll have what is needed to proceed. The goal is to be prepared with star talent attachments once the SAG-AFRTA/WGA strike is over!
What We Need & What You Get
We have $1500 to go!
- Ten donors of $150.
- Or Fifteen donors of $100.
- Or donations of $75, $50 or whatever you can spare.
- All donors of $100 or more will receive a free book.
- All donors will receive an invite to a virtual screening of DAD Speak, the documentary inspired by the book.
The Impact
This is a story that must be told! The most dominant message is that all absent fathers are not created equal. It's also a story of faith, love, forgiveness and healing and we can never have too many of those.
Risks & Challenges
All funds will be used for the stated purposed. All books and perks will be rendered as promised but please bear with me, it could take 30-45 days after the end of the campaign. Film development includes attaching lead talent, devising funding and accounting packages and ultimately securing financing. Production and distribution come later. Our goal is to reach the big screen and/or a streaming platform but there is no guarantee on exactly when that date will be. We do guarantee to give it our best and honest effort and to see that every donor is thanked on screen.
