Speaking of Marathons


Speaking of Marathons
            In deference to the recent events that have caused such pain and suffering to so many who attended the Boston Marathon this past Monday and for all of us who consider ourselves to be ‘safe’ in, “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” we offer our heartfelt prayers and blessings as comfort all in some small way.  However, we believe that there is a greater race that must be run. We call it, ‘The Human Race’ and every one of us is afoot in the field. 
Whether you are in the business of politics, of war, of medicine, of business, or our business; entertainment, we all have a stake in seeing that everyone has the opportunity to participate as equals and share in the rewards of winning this race.   By “winning,” we are not talking about one of us merely defeating another. We are talking about all of us achieving a small measure of greatness, by just being ‘Human’ and showing the best of that humanity to everyone.  The best of humanity comes from the experience of Loving, Forgiving and Accepting that which we do not necessarily understand, but which somehow touches all of us. 
We truly believe that there is no better place for us to live and do our work than here, in the U.S. of A.  To the rest of the world, who we are may not always be best represented by what we do.  I guess this is no news flash, "Not everyone loves America!"  But everybody does seem to love America's entertainment:  how we tell our stories of triumph over evil, victory over adversity, and love above all.  It is the best of what we have to offer to the world. 
Here at Willy-Gilly, we are committed to recreating this world… our world… “The World,” so that it, ‘works better for Everyone!’ Through our films, programs, plays, books, music and other works of those with whom we work, we can make a huge difference.  We will continue to carry on ‘the good fight,’ the fight of Faith in the belief that, "one nation under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all" shall prevail.  We invite our brothers and sisters everywhere to join us.  Stay tuned…

NO TICKY, NO WASHY!!!


No Ticky, No Washy!

Money makes the world go round I believe is the expression.
But what makes the money go round that seems to be the biggest question
confronting us today.

As good citizens in a ‘free market economy’ we place the burden of
directing our resources in the hands of our leaders. Unfortunately, that
means politicians. Money in the hands of politicians is a dangerous
commodity, mostly because as human beings, each politician has their own
agenda, which may or may not be in the public interest.

That is why it is incumbent upon every good citizen to make their voice
heard, not just at the ballot box, but in the halls and seats of government at
every level. By being heard, we are not talking about a self-aggrandizing
shouting match between diametrically opposed individuals. What we are
talking about is a ration discourse of fair-minded human beings addressing
their interests for the common good.

Tonight in Monroe, NY, 5pm in the Senior Center, once again the Town
Board will convene to hear public commentary on the proposed use of
the Monroe Cinemas. It is our deepest desire to serve the community in
whichever capacity we can to insure that this facility is used to its greatest
purpose for the community at large. Entertainment, leisure activity,
education, public exhibition of subject of interest to all, i.e. history, art,
architecture, commerce, etc.

There is space enough in these facilities to accommodate many interests and
purposes. We request that the community come together to present their
thoughts with civility, kindness and love, not just of self, but for all.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Peace and Joy,

Willy-Gilly

Of Marilyn and Monroe



Of Marilyn and Monroe

It is no secret that Marilyn was the greatest Monroe in history, James notwithstanding!

Considering our current foreign policy and the woeful state of business affairs in this country and how we handle our foreign commitments, that is no small statement.

We (Willy Gilly) continue to move forward against all odds and every obstacle. It is only by the grace of God and our sheer perseverance that we continue to operate as a legitimate business, which leads us to our next Monroe.

We continue to negotiate the closure of our business with the Town of Monroe for the purpose of re-opening and operating the Monroe Cinemas. We have put together a comprehensive development plan for the venue that has the potential of revitalizing the entire Village and in fact the surrounding region. Not just a movie theater any longer, it will provide an entertainment hub for many diverse activities from film, both mainstream and independent to live entertainment to music and art, education and commerce.

We look forward to realizing the dreams and aspirations of not just us, but of everyone who has long awaited the rebirth of this extraordinary edifice.

Look for us to open the doors again to the general public this summer.

Regarding our productions, we remain on hold while our funding partners await the IMF and Homeland Security to release the capital that we have been promised.

After surviving the desert that was 2012, we know that God has great things in store for us in this realm as well.

We will be launching production, regardless, this summer on at least two (2) films adding a third later this fall.

We are wrapping up spring sessions at Acting Anyone Academy. New classes will be forming for the summer. We look forward to using the Monroe Theaters to support technical training and actors training for the entertainment industry. It’s all about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! Less Talk, More Action!

We have had conversations SUNY OCC to bring course work to their curriculum. We have also been approached by an investment banking firm about the infusion of additional capital into our programs related to the new venture at Monroe Cinemas.

TODAY IS THE DAY! LIVE IT AND LOVE IT!!!

Beam us up Scottie!

Beam us up Scottie!



The starship Willy-Gilly is heading for infinity and beyond. There are things afoot that are beyond anything that we have previously imagined in the short term, leading us to speculate that the future holds incredible opportunities for us and our partners. While we are not at liberty to discuss all of the details of our impending good fortune, suffice it to say that everyone will benefit handsomely as we continue to explore new possibilities for creating, developing and producing art and entertainment of all varieties right here in OCNY!



From the written word to the stages and screens of all sizes, from consultation to production to management, we are growing in every direction. By the grace of God, through the talent and resources that He has put in close proximity to us at this time, we are able to achieve great things.



We look forward to the day when all of our efforts will be put before the public for everyone in Orange County and the world at large to enjoy. That day is coming very soon! Stay tuned Star Troopers! The universe awaits! Peace. €8-.D
