Today is the 1s step as we embark on a historic journey to create a high quality feature film Diamond Ruff. It is scary as well as exciting.

Currently, The team putting this project together is myself, my son Kyle – who translates my ideas and pencil sketches them into beautiful graphics, my sister – partner Janis of our business Young Studios, who is my voice of reason…Her favorite word is “No!!!” and my daughter Paige, who supports with her enthusiasm and questions. It’s crazy because I won’t allow her to read the book until she’s 13 on September 5^th. Also helping is Paris Walker, A smart college student who is helping to create the framework to launch the project…It helps…Her dad is a well known pastor in Hartford. So she understands the spirituality of the book.

I called king printing today who have already published one book of mine which is called “Scruples, The legend begins.” They have some of the best prices. I called to get the cost for hard and soft cover of Diamond Ruff. I have put a budget together. Currently we have no money to do this project and I’m trying to figure out what to do next. I put one dollar in an envelope as a first investment. It’s not much but it’s big on symbolism. So we are four million, four hundred ninety nine thousand dollars short of my goal. We’re a long way but a lot closer.
