June 22, 2011 – AMAZING THINGS ARE HAPPENING
06/23/2011
I will be forever grateful to Karen Drew, Reporter, with the local Detroit NBC affiliate, WDIV-Channel 4. She aired an AMAZING story tonight about my personal journey with Alzheimer’s and how I’m turning it into a movie bound for submission into Sundance Film Festival!
It’s incredible for me to see this vision that was born 4 years ago actually coming to life. Amazing things happen when you speak your dreams. Dreams DO come true!
Daddy-O would be SO PROUD!!!!!!!! 🙂
The famous words of my best friend, Jacquelyn Pierce, 4 long years ago. Sobbing on her couch, reeling from my dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, overly consumed by the disease destroying our family, she literally SCREAMED me into action!
It took a few days, but once her words sank in, I started rolling a (borrowed) camera. I had no idea what exactly would come of it all, but since I “speak” video, I started shooting what was happening to my family and what was going on inside of me.
Fast forward 4 years and 300+ hours of footage later…
…Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly yet humbly present to you a movie trailer of my documentary in-the-making which I hope will help change the world of Alzheimer’s…

The other amazing thing is this: I’m blogging from Washington DC!! I’ve brought my trailer, my vision and my passion to the national Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum where I hope to network, get my completion funding, and take this all to the next level…
Daddy-O would be proud! 😉
Frankly Speaking: Alzheimer’s
