I see that the word has slipped out! If you have not grown weary of me yet, I am slated to be on Channel 7 Action News WXYZ-Detroit tomorrow morning at around 8:45. I hope to represent my community well. If I fall short, it wont be for lack of trying. My brother Tom and I are still trying to make a motion picture set in Detroit, shot exclusively in and around Detroit, that premiers in Detroit, and if fortunate enough to travel the world, wears its hometown proudly on its sleeve at every stop. Tom is now in New York attempting in his unique fashion to achieve this same goal. For some reason, hes far more busy than I with the press! As soon as possible, well have as much of this coverage posted on our An Honest Thief facebook page. Tom and I realize that our relatively small film endeavor alone is in no way a potential panacea for the serious socioeconomic problems currently plaguing our hometown. Such pompous claims would be the epitome of naivete and narcissism. However, we do hope to highlight in some manner the tremendous talent base that resides in and around Detroit. Wed like this films soundtrack to reflect the enormous number of talented metro-Detroit musicians whom Ive heard firsthand and who often play shows for a few dollars and cup of coffee. We also hope to highlight our hometowns current success stories,of which there are many and in multiple fields. Finally,we hope that our film will play some role, however modest, in what we believe is Detroits inevitable resurgence. Thats the dream. One success story at a time. It may sound a bit lofty, but it is achievable. We hope you join us as de facto ambassadors for a great city. We hope you assist two brothers realize a dream and produce a motion picture in their hometown. Thats a lot of hope.... but thats a good thing. Our film effort is on Indiegogo, a crowd funding site. Every dollar contributed brings us closer to our goal and the realization of this dream. Weve got a great cast in place. Were ready to bring them all to Detroit and get to work. We not only want to include you in this endeavor, but we need you. This is a collective effort. We have all kinds of perks for those who contribute. If we get enough small to moderate contributions, we can pull this off. A bucket often fills one drop of water at a time. If you contribute to the funding of this film endeavor, we thank you. However, if you are unable to contribute we simply ask that you share our link and encourage others to rally behind us. For that gracious gesture, we thank you as well. Hey, I need to get ready for bed! I can sometimes go on seemingly forever! Channel 7 has set aside a bit of time for me tomorrow morning. Thank you and heres our link on Indiegogo: igg.me/at/HonestThiefFilm
