“Forgotten Hollywood”- Let’s Look at the Tote Board (#18)…
Manny P. here…
The FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD Pilot Documentary (Development) official online funding campaign on INDIEGOGO concluded on May 4th. However, the Brochure campaign continues until May 18th at Westminster Lanes with a day of bowling for cash and prizes. In our 18th week, we’ve reached almost 71% of our goal.
CONTRIBUTIONS
~ JUDY GEORGE ($25) – A primary care nurse for Arthur F. Gelb Medical Corporation based at the Lakewood Medical Center, the practice specializes in pulmonary and critical care issues. Judy is a classic movie buff with a child studying cinema in college. She has also enjoyed reading both copies of the Forgotten Hollywood Book Series.
~ MARY ANN McHUGH ($15) – Like Judy, Mary Ann works in the medical field as an optician. A resident of Los Alamitos, she daily travels to Cerritos to aid folks with minor sight impairments. And, she also loves Hollywood’s Golden Age. Mary Ann is a patron of Mr. B’s, where I host my weekly karaoke shows.
~ ANITA AGUIRRE ($15) – Anita has been my friend for almost two decades. A hairdresser by day, she loves to bowl in leagues at Westminster Lanes. My pals at this particular bowling center continue to support my efforts, whether buying my book series, or contributing to the development of our documentary.
~ ROBERT GRAHAM ($10) – The Graham family are longtime friends. Robert is an Orange County contractor, and like most of his siblings, is a really good singer. Because of this, he visits my karaoke shows at Mr. B’s and the Starting Gate. I just found out that Robert collects Hollywood memorabilia… How cool is that!!
~ ASHLEE ADDAL ($10) – Ashlee is a second generation waitress at the Starting Gate in Los Alamitos. When I approached her about making a contribution, she was absolutely thrilled to participate. Too young to actually remember Hollywood’s Studio Era, Ashlee loves the idea of helping a friend, which I’m proud to call her…
~ MIKE INFIESTO ($10) – Mike is also a karaoke enthusiast who supports my weekly shows. He and his wife have been steadfast in their excitement as we continue on our Forgotten Hollywood journey. How wonderful to find such supporters of my documentary project…

During this 2013 campaign, I’m asking friends, family, and supporters to help us achieve our 120+ day (19-week) goal of $5000. 95 inidividual and business contributors want to support quality family-friendly television programs, intelligently presented.
YOU can contribute ANY AMOUNT. This step ensures Development, and we’ll be able to:
- Hire a research archivist to track down footage and photos; and secure licensing
- Hire a consultant / casting director to book actors and behind-the-scenes folks from Hollywood’s Golden Age; plus cinematic historians for original interviews
- Set up a production shoot to tape these candid moments
All participants will warmly receive screen thanks at the conclusion of the Documentary.
Until next time> “never forget”
