Sturr crazy!

Make a difference in the world by helping us create the highest quality entertainment! Check out our Indie Go Go campaign TODAY at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/255678!

This past weekend, we went to see The Jimmy Sturr Christmas Show at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown, NY. We joined former Congressman Ben Gilman and his lovely wife Georgia, and a group of other friends in celebrating the holiday spirit in truly great fashion! The band was hot, the house was packed, and a great time was had by all! Afterwards, we joined some of the revellers, including Jimmy and his group, for dinner at Limoncello's in Goshen! The food was great! It was a phenomenal day all the way around! Also, we will be getting together with Jimmy in the very near future to discuss some new program possibilities; in the meantime, you can catch him on WTBQ radio and RFD-TV!

In "Chasing G!" news, we will soon begin posting videos of the radio show, "Chasing G! LIVE", to the web! You can see the rough cut of the TV pilot at chasingg.com, and you can meet the guys in the shop OnGSpot at YouTube.com!

We spent Saturday morning at the ashram in Chester with Raj Gulati, creator and executive producer of "36 Hours". We were doubly blessed to be in the presence of Amma G, a beacon of wisdom for all who seek truth and God's love. Bless you, Amma. We were treated to an Indian lunch beyond description. YUMMMMMM! Meanwhile, we await the outcome of impending meetings to be held in January in Mumbai. These meetings are intended to provide the funding and much of the casting of the supporting roles in the feature, to be shot here in Orange County and in New York City. American casting has been put on hold until the numbers come back from the foreign partners.

In the interim, Willy Gilly has edged closer to full funding of its slate of features for both 2013 and 2014. After a very disappointing 2012 in which the election was blamed on much inactivity in the financing arena, now it seems 'Fiscal Cliff' (Whoever that is!?) is singing the same song out of Washington that has Wall Street marching to a funeral dirge. Thank God we are not part of the 'doomsday brigade' that has apparently laid siege to our capitol... and our capital! Next thing is what? Osama's ghost!!!

On another front, "Captain Science" will soon be up on YouTube and Willy Gilly's Facebook page, starting next week... We'd love for parents and students to be our online focus group! Let us know what you think about what you see, and what you'd like to see next! We'd also like to know what kind of educational programming you watch now (public TV, Animal Planet, NatGeo, etc.)!

We will be talking this week with Middletown Cinemas concerning a theatre for our showing of "Collar", to benefit first responder victims of Hurricane Sandy. We are expecting to have the benefit soon, so please stay tuned! They need our help and our prayers!
