Hello everyone! I have been busy updating the Abilities United Productions business plan, including the forecast spreadsheets. But to complete it I have to have a “London Time” film production budget – so to do so I have taken the screenplay for a breakdown session, inputed into EP-Scheduling (which I was only able to afford their free download trial with 20 uses – do you know how much they want for that software? Incredible!) where I am now completing the breakdowns of each scene and then will import in the free trial of EP-Budgeting (with only 15 uses) to get a production budget to add to the Abilities United company budget and finally be able to submit it as part of the proposal for the investors we have waiting for us! Just like all previous obstacles over the past several years – I find a way to make it happen! But forgive me for fewblog entries as I rush to get this finished!
Oh and as I titled this entry, I did find some errors on the blog page and I have corrected them and even added a couple new features! Check them out! Keep the faith everyone – as I will keep the impossible dream possible…alive! This will happen and the culture and image of the nearly 6 million Americans with paralysis and the 56+ million with a disAbility in general will change with our AUTHENTIC VOICES, VISIONS, PERFORMANCES and finally introduce to Hollywood and the world NON-STEREOTYPICAL and AUTHENTIC REPRESENTATION of those with a disAbility! We can change Hollywood – yes we can!

While I am flattered you contacted me, and I admire your efforts as I believe we have the same
goals in authentically representing to the world those of us with a disAbility –
I am not sure our paths will intersect. We are not accepting new material –
meaning any screenplays or works right now as we first must get our work in
theatres – you do also express your desire in acting. As soon as we have
auditions for our new castings you are more than welcome to come demonstrate
your acting skills and desires for a role in our movies. Meanwhile, feel free
to comment here any time and give us updates on your efforts that relate to the
entertainment industry. Thanks for writing and I wish you all the best!
