At Last! Congress finally does something GREAT!!!

HOORAY!!!

We just got really good news this morning!

Congress finally approved the 181C deduction for Independent Films!!!  What does that mean?  If you attended our November 20th event, "The Bigger Picture", you would know that it means potentially huge tax benefits for many Americans holding too much cash at the end of the year.   If you weren't there, NO WORRIES!  Here is the scoop!

Anyone who invests in Independent Film will receive a federal deduction up to 15M (with a 3-year loss carry forward)!  It is a win/win.  If you, your company or any of your associates needs a federal deduction before the end of the year, have them contact us immediately.  We have film packages designed just for you!

On top of the federal deduction, we will be shooting these films in New York State, which means an additional 30% rebate from the State for the "hard costs" of making the film AND changes in the accounting proceedures make it possible to receive your credits right away.

Not only can you get the deduction, you can get the rebate!

Now is the time.  Catch it before it runs out at midnight on 12/31/14

"THE BIGGER PICTURE"

                                                            

 

                                                                        “THE BIGGER PICTURE”

                                                       Symposium on Major Industry Investment

                                           Film and TV Poised  to Come to Orange County

 Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc., in association with The Castle Event Center in Chester, NY, will host local professionals as they join together to present opportunities for Orange County  residents.

Vikas Varma, Esq. of 'de Ramon-Crush' law firm in Fishkill, NY will join us of W-GPI, Jon Van Cott and Ron DeBellis of Debellis, Van Cott and Associates, PC, both CPAs in  Goshen, NY, along with James Rotondo, MBA, a Financial Consultant and Director of Finance for Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc. from Warwick, NY to present some truly amazing facts about Entertainment and Media (E&M). This distinguished panel will detail a broad range of possibilities for Orange County residents, their financial and legal advisors on Thursday, November 20, 2014.

"When looking for your ship to come in, you better make darn sure that you have an anchor to keep it there once it's landed, even if you have to forge one yourself!" David Patrick Wilson

It seems that everyone is waiting for that fateful day when the next 'big thing' arrives, that 'thing' that is going to make everybody happy, everybody rich, everybody famous. We all want to enjoy the benefits and experience the rewards of something new, exciting and extremely lucrative.

However, seldom do you hear of anyone sufficiently preparing and positioning themselves to secure that great opportunity when it arrives.  Such is the case here in Orange County, where things are rapidly changing for the better and the possibilities to engage in such great good fortune abound.

 Are you ready or will you let this moment pass you by?

Here at Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc., we have been espousing the gospel of American Entertainment and Media (E&M) for the past five (5) years.  We have been constantly touting the many virtues of a constantly growing industry, filled with almost overwhelming opportunities.

This Two Trillion Dollar (That's $2,000,000,000,000!) industry brings potential gains that can obliterate local unemployment and underemployment, as well as stem the attrition of young, ambitious, creative talent, who are leaving the region due to lack of lifelong career supports.  The E&M industry is poised to pounce on Orange County in grand fashion and at a magnitude that almost defies description.

For every individual, regardless of age, experience, background or economic standing, it will mean the massive expansion of the local economy, thousands of jobs and a potential deep reduction in property and individual taxes. In fact, we see 'The Orange Triangle' as, 'the end of the rainbow!' We believe that we are literally living in a potential pot of gold!

Far-fetched?! Over-the-top?! Too-Good-to-be-true?! If you have any interest in seeing for yourself how vast the opportunities can be, join us and our panel of experts:

        Attorney: Vikas Varma, Esq.
        Accountant: Jon Van Cott, CPA
        Business consultant: James Rotondo, MBA
        Producer: Nan Gill-Wilson
        Writer/Director - David Patrick Wilson

WHERE: The Castle Event Center, 109 Brookside Ave. (Rte. 17M), Chester, NY
WHEN: Thursday, November 20, 2014; 6:30-8:30pm
WHAT: A refreshing, informative, honest look at what is coming for you, your business, your friends and your family.
WHY: Because it's time to enjoy all of the benefits of these financial and cultural phenomena and the opportunities that are unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Refreshments provided.  Open Bar.

The Best is Yet to Come

WOW! How time flies when you’re having fun! Last Sunday (August 17, 2014) marked the 5th Anniversary of Willy-Gilly Productions, Inc. We are most grateful to still be in ‘the big (and still growing) game,’ given all of the events that have transpired since we first opened our doors in 2009. We have endured failed major funders, dishonest investors, insincere officials, corrupt theater operators, inept local administrators, public misinformation and the worst economy in nearly a century. Nonetheless, we remain committed to bringing the nearly  $2 Trillion Entertainment and Media industry to the Hudson Valley in a very BIG way, despite the growing efforts by Hollywood to crush the Independent Spirit through massive consolidation and collusion. We look forward to making some HUGE announcements in the coming months, regarding new ‘state of art’ facilities development, our productions and distribution that will potentially bring thousands of sustainable jobs and Billions of dollars in revenue to the region. Our first thanks go to God for His endless blessings and then, to ALL of the many good people who have worked with us and supported our efforts over these early years. To everyone out there, like the ‘chairman of the board,’ ‘old blue eyes,’ Frank Sinatra so beautifully crooned, “The best is yet to come!” Stay tuned! ‘Nuff said! €8-.D

Spring Is Here!!! (Except for those occasional 30 degree nights!!!)

Spring is here (except for those occasional 30 degree nights)! 

Spring is here and so is William Esper’s new book, “An Actor’s Guide to Creating a Character” with introduction by Patricia Heaton (Home Improvement.) 

The William Esper Studio located at 208 W. 37^th Street in Manhattan has been named one of the top 25 acting schools in the world.  Before opening his school, he was Sanford Meisner’s protégé and the heir apparent of The Neighborhood Playhouse’ Acting Program.

What does all this mean to the Hudson Valley?

It means that the Hudson Valley has local access to this world-renowned method of acting right here in our own back yard!

At the “Acting Anyone Academy” in Goshen, New York, Master Actor David Patrick Wilson studied hundreds of hours with BOTH Sanford Meisner and William Esper. 

New classes are forming at the Acting Anyone Academy in the authentic “Meisner Method”.  If you are interested in a professional career in acting or if your children show an exceptional natural talent, don’t miss out on your opportunity to study with a “Master” of this technique who has proven its value in the marketplace.

David’s career includes “The 7Ups”, “Grey Lady Down”, “Eddie and the Cruisers”, “Magnum PI” , “Dallas the Early Years”, a TV series with Ed Asner entitled “The Bronx Zoo”, “Coins in the Fountain” with Lonnie Anderson, “Unspeakable Acts” and “Collar” with Tom Sizemore, Rebecca DeMornay and Richard Roundtree to name just a few.  You can find out more at his IMDB site:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933264/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2

In addition to being blessed with great acting teachers, David was likewise graced to study voice with one of the legends of voice training, Seth Riggs. His “Speech Level Singing”, technique has proven to be the healthiest way to work as a singer.  Seth trained Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, Julio Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Bernadette Peters and all of the American Idol Singers (i.e. Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Stoddard, etc.).  David works with his voice clients privately at the offices of Willy-Gilly Productions, 222 Greenwich Avenue, Goshen, NY   10924.

Level 1 Adult Classes, Level 1 Youth Classes (8-11 years old), Level 1 Young Adult Classes (12-17 years old) as well as Production Classes will be starting soon in the fellowship hall at St. James Episcopal Church, 1 St. James Place, Goshen, NY.

Some private spots are available for “Speech Level Singing”.

If you have ever had any thought about seriously pursuing developing you gifts, here is a rare opportunity to take full advantage of everything that “Acting Anyone Academy” has to offer.

Don’t miss out.  Call to reserve your place.  (845) 294-7500.
