It is here in my blog that I want to share with you my gentle reader about my most current endeavor, a film titled "Cast Aside". Cast Aside is a documentary in the making, an advocacy film for those who have little voice in our society. Meet Norman, Norman is a nice middle aged man who likes to read and lives in an Adult Home where conditions are poor. Norman is very active advocating the rights of the residents and it is from Norman we draw inspiration for this film. Norman's experiences with the corruption and neglect of these Adult Homes is indicative of the rampant corruption that exists through out Municipal, State and Federal programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, government spending and pet projects for friend's of politicians and just overall waste of money and inefficiency. This is why I am making this film. I am making it not to just make a Documentary because it's interesting or tragic but because I think awareness is our biggest weapons against this rampant corruption and the complacency that exists among the world's citizens in light of the vast greed, corruption, and exploitation that exists in the world.
Yes, We all know corruption exists and we tolerate it but what I think is intolerable are those who prey on the most vulnerable. There is money to be made in the institutions surrounding our elderly, Sick, handicapped and Mentally ill. There is no shortage of private companies lined up to make money off the misfortune of others. The list is long including and no less than Pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, Banks, Nursing Agencies, Home Health Agencies, the home's operators (many which are unlicensed) and many more milk the system often double or triple billing for services that are often never seen by those they are supposedly benefiting. This is a crime. This is more than a crime, this is a moral outrage. I am outraged by the People who do this, the filthy greedy people and their nasty insidious ways to make their profits on other's suffering. This film "Cast Aside" is being made to shed light on these cretins. I intend to make this film with all my passion and love of truth I can muster. I will be shooting this summer. I do need help! I need any kind of support imaginable not excluding money and crew members. :)
So feel free to write me a check or hand me a wad of sweaty cash. Or if you see yourself working in film than hey let me know. As long as you understand that as director I am G-d (not so much to use his/her name in vain) See I am G-d and that while the cameras roll is true. The only exception is if you put giant rolls of sweaty cash in my hand and than VOILA you are a Producer! So do you fancy yourself a producer and telling me (or at least arguing with) what to do and your vision and so on...but if you have the cash. Otherwise, if you want to do a good deed in earnest I am raising money for this film and I could use hands and support. If you think something should be done to raise awareness about the neglect of people living in homes and other institutions than this is a way. Right on! Thank you all for reading and please come again.
