Until You Walk The Path, You Won’t
Know Where it Goes will be chatting with musician, author, and
President of Guitars Not Guns, Gregg Hammond on April 16.2015 at 1
pm eastern as he talks about how the arts makes positive changes in
children and teenagers' lives.
Musician, mentor, guitar teacher,
philanthropist, and author born in DC. Gregg's family moved away from
DC in the late 60's to escape the violence of the riots. The move
landed him in the Florida Keys, where he grew up learning to live in
the natural surroundings, teaching fishing, snorkeling, &
exploring in the back country islands of the Keys. Hurricanes
destroyed his guitar studio and then his home. With his dog and a
guitar, he began a journey to find a larger purpose for his life. He
traveled highways and mountain wilderness searching for his truth.
Returning to DC in 2002, Gregg experienced violence in the streets.
He and his father were randomly attacked by a gang of kids in '04. He
was held at gunpoint by teens in '05, and nearly ambushed again by
another gang in '06. These experiences compelled him to take action
to make a difference. He founded GNG DC and volunteers his time
wearing many hats within the charity to keep it going. He has
witnessed miracles in the classroom. His vision includes bringing the
world together, all playing the same song at the same time, featuring
many of the Guitars Not Guns students up on the stages with great
musicians like Paul McCartney, U2, and Ben Harper.

has reinvented himself many times and helped hundreds of kids and
teens to do the same.

Love can be a blessing or the curse that destroys an entire town.
Have
you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder
why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if
it could save you life?
Never Can Say Good-bye is a paranormal thriller-horror that combines a traditional ghost story with unique twists.
Horses and Heroes is not about pointing fingers or creating a political firestorm. It is a documentary series, which will help military personnel and veterans find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy does not involve drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts to a therapist. What it does do is help them find new ways to see and react to their emotional triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to work. It can't replace what was lost, but it can give them the confidence to see that they are more than the sum of their body parts. Horses and Heroes will give veterans and military personnel the information they need to find alternative healing solutions, which can help lower the suicide rate.
It will provide the dual benefit of also providing jobs. We will be hiring veterans already in the entertainment industry as well as opening the door for those who are looking for a new career.
Horses and Heroes will create a greater awareness healing benefits of Equine Therapy for civilians, military personnel, veterans, and their families not only for those currently serving, but also for those from previous wars, who never addressed their issues. Horses and Heroes can’t fix the system nor will be it is a cure all. What it will do is show that there are alternatives, which more effectively help them heal their way home. They can't go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from the now and make a brand new end.
This is the video we shot to grandfather Horses and Heroes into Section 181 of the Jobs Act.
Until You Walk
The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with
midwife, author, and healer, Patricia Harman on April 3 at 1 pm
eastern as she talks about her amazing healing journey and the books
that sprouted from it.
Patricia
Harman has spent over thirty years caring for women as a midwife,
first as a lay-midwife, delivering babies in cabins and on communal
farms in West Virginia, and later as a nurse-midwife in teaching
hospitals and in a community hospital birthing center.
She
spent over a decade in the sixties and seventies in her wild youth
living in rural communes in Washington (Tolstoy Farm), Connecticut
(The Committee for Non-Violent Action) and Minnesota (Free Folk).
During the Vietnam years, she and her husband, Tom Harman, traveled
the country, often hitch-hiking, as they looked for a place to
settle. In 1974 they purchased a farm with a group of like-minded
friends on top of a ridge in Roane County, West Virginia. Here on the
commune, they built log houses, dug a pond, grew and preserved their
own food and started the Growing Tree Natural Foods Cooperative.
It
was during this time that Patsy attended her first home birth, more
or less by accident. "Some people are destined," she has
written. "I was staying at a woman friend's commune when she
went into labor and I ended up delivering my first baby." Soon
after, Harman traveled to Austin, Texas to train with a collective of
home-birth midwives. When she returned, she became one of the
founding members of The West Virginia Cooperative of Midwives. Her
passion for caring for women and babies led her to become an RN as
the first step in getting licensed as certified nurse midwife. In
1985, with her children, a yowling cat and her husband she traveled
north, pulling a broken down trailer to begin her training at the
University of Minnesota where she received her MSN in
Nurse-Midwifery.
For
the past twenty years, Ms. Harman has been a nurse-midwife on the
faculty of The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University
and most recently West Virginia University. In 1998 she went into
private practice with her husband, Tom, an OB/Gyn, in Morgantown,
West Virginia. Here they devoted their lives to caring for women and
bringing babies into the world in a gentle way.
When,
in 2003, the cost of liability insurance for Obstetrics sky-rocketed
from $70,000 a year to $110,000, the Harman's decided to give up
deliveries. Though many loyal patients grieved the loss of their
favorite mid-wife/physician team, the change in life style gave the
author time to begin writing her first book, The Blue Cotton Gown: A
Midwife's Memoir.
Patricia
Harman still lives and works with her husband, Ob/Gyn Thomas Harman,
in Morgantown, West Virginia at their clinic, Partners in Women's
Health Care. Though she no longer attends births, she provides care
for women in early pregnancy and through-out the life span. She
brings to this work the same dedication and compassion she brought to
obstetrics.
The
USA Today bestselling author of The Midwife of Hope River returns
with a heartfelt sequel, a novel teeming with life and full of humor
and warmth, one that celebrates the human spirit.
The
Great Depression has hit West Virginia hard. Men are out of work;
women struggle to feed hungry children. Luckily, Nurse Becky Myers
has returned to care for them. While she can handle most situations,
Becky is still uneasy helping women deliver their babies. For these
mothers-to-be, she relies on an experienced midwife, her dear friend
Patience Murphy.
Though
she is happy to be back in Hope River, time and experience have
tempered Becky’s cheerfulness-as tragedy has destroyed the vibrant
spirit of her former employer Dr Isaac Blum, who has accompanied her.
Patience too has changed. Married and expecting a baby herself, she
is relying on Becky to keep the mothers of Hope River safe.
But
becoming a midwife and ushering precious new life into the world is
not Becky’s only challenge. Her skills and courage will be tested
when a calamitous forest fire blazes through a Civilian Conservation
Corps camp. And she must find a way to bring Isaac back to life and
rediscover the hope they both need to go on.
Full
of humor and compassion, The Reluctant Midwife is a moving tribute to
the power of optimism and love to overcome the most trying
circumstances and times, and is sure to please fans of the poignant
Call the Midwife series.

Love can be a blessing or the curse that destroys an entire town.
Have
you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder
why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if
it could save you life?
Elizabeth was asked
by her mentor to teach a writing course at a small college. Since
she never forgets a kindness, she reluctantly agrees. Arriving in
town, she instantly regrets her decision. She wants to run, but she
is honor bound to stay. Even
as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of
another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand
and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are
thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither
run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome
their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it?"

We have the interest, but not yet the commitment of a distributor. The Michigan Film Incentive and product placement will give us a great P & A budget, which will give us better bargaining power with distributors and Theatrical chains. We grandfathered it into Section 181 of the Jobs Act. We will do everything possible to give the investor(s) an active role so they can used the federal tax deduction on both their passive and active income.
We have an amazing cast and crew, who will give Never Can Say Good-bye the highest production standards. It will touch audiences' hearts as they are scaring their socks off.
Join our team for the opportunity to make a good profit, while being able to be proud of being part of an amazing film

You
published your book. It's wonderful. Everyone says so-even those who
don't know you. The reviewers love it. It's released to the public
and you anticipate the many sales. But nothing happens. It's a
wonderful book. Everyone says so, including the reviewers. Why
aren't people buying it?
The
tracks have been laid. The CD has been compiled. The music video
has been produced. People love you when play locally and travel to
attend your concerts. Your music is available on
many sites as downloads and as
a CD, yet it isn't being bought.
Your
business has an amazing website. It's easy to navigate. You have
quality products and a great reputation, but your website isn't
getting traffic that you need to make the sales.
Your
non-profit social advocacy group has a great platform, which actively
makes a difference for others. Your board includes well respected
experts in your field, passionate advocates, and volunteers, yet your
fund raising efforts don't reflect the time, energy, and resources
that your team has expended.
Why
have your efforts and resources paid off? Simple.
There are thousand of others vying to gain the same attention. Your
message has gotten lost in the promotional and
marketing din. If customers
don't know about it or can't find it, they can't buy it. A PR firm
could change that, but they would cost hundreds if not thousands of
dollars.
Promotion
raises awareness. Marketing creates the need. They
both are only effective they create enough positive buzz to gain both
the attention and interest of your customers.
It's more than just declaring to the world you have a fabulous
product. You have to show why you are different
and better than the rest.
But
to do that you need to get their attention not only once but at least
three times. That's what it takes to motivate consumers. Once to
see. Once to remember. Once to buy.
I
will be talking about low cost, yet highly effective ways to gain the
attention of the search engines, which will
bring you the customers and sales that you want.
Topics
will include:
Developing
your brand
Effective
promotions and marketing as opposed to spamming
Cost
efficient marketing tools
Effective
use of keywords
The
Art of Self Promotion is a one hour teleseminar, which will be held
on February 18 at 9 pm eastern.
I will be talking about the importance of being able to effectively
promote and market yourself as well as your work. I will help you
create and strengthen your brand.
As a writer and producer, I
have helped individuals, PR firms, publishers, and non profit
organizations reach their target audiences with press releases, videos,
and business platforms. Even if you have a PR and Marketing firm
representing you, you still need to put
time and effort to supporting your brand. You will always be your best
advocate. I will show you how to positively represent yourself and your
work.

Mettle of Honor
synopsis: When a gang of
kidnappers takes their young hostage to an abandoned building to
await a $100 million ransom, a homeless Vietnam vet who lives in the
building becomes her only hope for salvation.
Led by Nick, a
recently paroled bank robber, a gang of 14 ruthless killers kidnaps
Molly, the 16 year old daughter of a bank president and gives him 24
hours to rob his own bank for the $100 million ransom... or she
dies. Taking her to an abandoned 6-story building in an isolated
and derelict area of the city, Nick orders his men to kill the
homeless squatters who inhabit the old building to eliminate any
witnesses. Nick's plan soon hits a snag, however, when Gunny, a
homeless Vietnam vet who lives in the building, starts fighting
back. As darkness falls, the 63 year old Marine calls upon combat
and survival skills he hasn't used in 40 years as he wages a one-man
war on a new, and much younger, enemy to protect the frightened young
hostage. Outnumbered, outgunned and definitely “out-youthed”,
Gunny proves he still has the mettle worthy of a hero.
Jim (TJ Woodbury) takes a temporary job as a security guard for a large
hotel when the last guard was "let go" for having too many bad habits.
After chatting with the night desk clerk, Chris (John Santi), he learns
that there is more to the sudden dismissal of the last guard than the
hotel manager (Bobbi Lane) tells him which involved the accidental
drowning of a young boy in the hotel's swimming pool and the guard's
heartless attempt to cover it up. But when he takes a quick blow to the
head by a hotel guest opening a door, Jim believes he's beginning to see
things... like a dead boy floating in the pool. Soon, while making his
late night rounds, Jim comes face to face with the angry ghost of the
boy.
THE SHED is a 26 minute, black and white ghost story about a young
couple who buy a house but is unaware that the shed in the backyard was
the scene of a brutal murder a decade before and, as a result, is
haunted. The husband, David ( Daniel Sappington) begins to hear a child
crying in the backyard late at night but his wife, Amy (Liarra
Michelle), is convinced that he's under a lot of stress over work and
buying the house and is just hearing a neighborhood cat. Things come to a
head when David ventures outside late one night after hearing the
crying and comes face to face with the ghost of a little boy (Dylan
Ochoa). After visit from the police (Jason Smith) and a mysterious old
lady (Michal Faith McCune) who lives across the street, that night David
learns the sad, yet gruesome, secret that the shed has been hiding for
over 10 years..
