Thanks for the kind offer, Michael. However, we are all professionals able to produce this film. The challenge we are having is getting if funded. Slight difference.

As a side note, my best advice to young writers is to avoid paying for critiques from someone you don’t know or weren’t referred to highly. There are many legitimate writing courses and groups that can help with that, for about the same costs or less. I’ve yet to hear of a career launched by someone who offers to read, critique and send your work to others for a fee. Unless, of course, it’s a manager.

It might be time to have your script looked at by a professional, one who might be able to pass it along to those who can actually get it produced.

So glad you saw it, Tai, (and loved it as much as I do). Keeping the Arts alive in our school systems, from elementary on, is so important. Like you said, I hope this will get us all thinking about what we can do to make that happen.

Cheers,
Sandra

Saw this film at the Arclight Hollywood during the Docuweeks showcase this past August. I should have listened to you and brought a box of tissue. Man, I could not stop crying at the end. What an uplifting film! I can’t stop thinking about the wonderful kids and inspirational theatre directors. In a time where government and the over-taxed public is looked upon to save our school systems, the self supporting high school theatre programs of the Lehigh Valley show that we, the communities of our nation, are the best way to support the arts in our schools. Bravo Mr. Kallis & Mr. Lockhart for showing us that privately supported theatre programs in our public schools can work at the highest levels. Let’s hope “Most Valuable Players” inspires other communities around our country to get off their collective rear ends and donate their time and money to keep the performing arts alive in our schools!!!

That is so moving. You were holding a place for him. When creative, inspiring confidantes leave us, it is a raw pain that has no where to go. I’m so glad, in a way though, to know someone else who loved Dunne.

I see your point. True stories are more or less an adaptation of facts. Doubt the Academy will change their rules though.
