Today a man, Vernon, tried to sell me a newspaper. For some reason I felt really compelled to talk to him, and I mean really have a conversation with him. Upon talking to him I asked what his dreams are, what he really wants to be doing with his life. He said he wants to write. He's a writer and has written a feature film as well as a couple one offs. He gave me a brief description of his script, which is a thriller and mind teaser. I was immediately drawn to help Vernon make his dream into a reality, and that's where you come in; I cannot produce a movie on my own, but I really want to help Vernon's dream become a reality. This will be a true under dog story. Vernon recently lost his wife of 17 years and is now living on the streets, selling newspapers just trying to survive. I need help. Anything that anyone can do to help me make Vernon's dream a reality, please respond to this post, message me or email me (Curtis.mcgann@icloud.com). I am an actor, and we will need: Actors Cinematographers Producers Sponsors Crew Equipment Locations (Seattle area) Notification...people need to know what we're doing otherwise they won't know to help anything else anyone can think of. Thank you all! Curtis

What a wonderful thing you are doing, I'm not in Seattle either, but there are a lot of members from the area on here -- maybe wrangle a ST32 meetup and see if you can pool your talents.
Clifford, thank you for the encouragement.
Laurie, that's a great idea. Once the holidays are finished, I'll have to do that. Thanks again!

Thank you Maria. I read it on LinkedIn...great article by the way. I love the point and meaning of the story because it's true. Just taking a minute or two and talking to someone could completely change their life, as well as yours. I love it.

Well thank you. I'm just trying to live my life the way that I think God intended me to. We all share this world, and the only way to make it better is to work together. I do believe that Michael Jackson had it right when he said "if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change."

Curtis, what you're doing is a courageous and caring act. God bless you as you work with Him to bring happiness to the people around you. Although we've chosen to produce only our own scripts, I wish I was local so I can be of help. The best I can see that I can do is to suggest to point your friend to writing and film groups within the scope of his reach. And please take him to one of the churches that have a regular potluck. That way he can extend his friendships and the Lord can work to better his situation
