We did it! To everyone who has supported our fundraiser, and to the hundreds who have written kind letters of encouragement, and to those who have shared your stories of love and pain - we THANK YOU!
So let the games begin! Actually, they have already begun! We are in full pre-production mode and are set to start shooting on Sunday, July 15. We have our locations locked, are just about done with casting, and now have over 50 dancers participating in our Bollywood dance extravaganza! Rehearsals start soon, and the choreographer (Rahul Nath) and costume designer (Sonia Woodfield) have their hands (and legs) full. Richie Million, our Master Chef and caterer has probably never fed so many people!
This has all been made possible by your generosity. We have exceeded our goal and we commit to putting every penny on the screen and to make a movie that we hope will be seen around the world.
Take a moment to look at our stellar cast and crew (link on the main page under FAQ). And if you're in Los Angeles when we're shooting, please feel free to stop by and say hi!
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
All the best,
Billy
Wow! Kudos to Michael Gier of SilverDoveProductions.com for this outstanding behind-the-scenes video with our choreographer Rahul Nath and the amazing dancers who auditioned for our Bollywood dance number yesterday.
More "Making of" stuff to come!
Wow!! Just wanted to share with all of our friends!

In less than 4 days, because of your generosity, we have raised nearly half of our goal. But the second half is always the tough part. So please, if you can, spread the word and tell everyone you know about this beautiful story and the disease that must go away.
Thanks to everyone for your touching stories and the beautiful memories you have shared with us. As I mentioned before, we have included a tribute section to this page. Please let me know if there any names of loved ones you'd like me to include.
Nancy Daly, National Captain, founded Actors Unite to End Alzheimer's- SAG-AFTRA/AEA in honor of her mother who died from Alzheimer's on May, 8, 2012 and her father who was her mother's devoted caregiver.
We have just put up a link to Nancy's website and her organization. These walks benefit the Alzheimer's Association and help fund the quest to find a cure to the disease. Go there for more info and details on how you can participate.
Once again, from the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU!
