"I could see your movie
being REMADE by producer/star Sandra Bullock with only a few
million of her own dollars invested and being a box office success.
If not Sandra Bullock, then one of about 30 other
celebrity/actresses. Maybe Oprah could throw some small change at
it." from viewer named Peter.

Welcome! My name is Patti and I
made a positive and clean movie that's been seen all over the
world! (See
here.)
It's a love
story set in the restaurant industry.
Because of
many comments like the one above, the right people need to remake
"Did I Say Thousand Island?" and use it as a "benefit
movie"! The mission is to raise awareness and
funds
for the GWC
and I
need your help. Please click on
"You"
to
see what you can do.
Imagine...
Leaving the movie theatre with a smile, AND knowing you have
helped others get water they so desperately
need.
There's
hope!
The purpose of this website isn't to
show you depressing photos of the reality of the current situation
concerning the water crisis, but to offer help with solutions to
some of the problems. This quote is from the
Global Water
Challenge.
"Unprecedented collaboration between all sectors of society is needed in order to achieve sustanable solutions to this challenge."
That
means we must work together! Let's Do It!
Donate to the mission and thank you for your help!
TOM HANKS on "Larry Crowne" Movie
Interviewer:
"Movies can have an impact in the oddest ways—in Splash, your character called the mermaid, played by Daryl Hannah, Madison. After that movie, Madison became one of the most popular names for girls.
Tom:
"It’s a powerful medium: Movies hold sway over many people’s lives."
Julia Roberts or Paul Simon?
Every educator, non-profit and author

2011 said that public AWARENESS is key to the Global Water
Crisis.
There are lots of great documentaries out there
to teach the public about water!

There's a message that needs to be heard and what better way to get it out to John and Jane Public than through a regular movie? They aren't going to conserve water because they don't have a clue they really need to.
SO...
Specific and subtle scenes will be added to the movie that exemplify water conservation actions that everyone can do.
By the way, look at how much we spend
on movies! It's more than what is spent on all
theme parks and all sporting events combined. (pg
