On the dotted line!

Willy Gilly Productions has entered into a consulting agreement with Raj Productions of Middletown, New York to facilitate the production of a ten million dollar feature film, currently titled "36 Hours"!

Under the agreement, Willy Gilly will seek production and funding partners and also the attachment of name Hollywood talent. This marks the first major co-production relationship for Willy Gilly, who will guide these tyro pros to safe harbor with a dynamite package! An action-adventure film that deals with issues of terrorism and homeland security, they expect to be in production by summer 2013.

That's all for now...we're heading to Bethel Woods to see "Letters To Daddy", a great show with a great message. We'd love to see you there, too!

FREE Acting Anyone!

It's that time of the year once again! Back to school! Back to work! Back to the Future! Speaking of which, there will be a FREE Acting Anyone workshop conducted by David Patrick Wilson on Thursday, September 6th at 7:30 pm in the main room of Keller-Williams, 2004 Route 17M in Goshen, New York.

Hot on the heels of the gigantic success of the World Premier of "COLLAR" (and if you missed it...you missed it!), right here in Middletown, Willy Gilly Productions is offering this training workshop FREE of charge to anyone interested in exploring a career in the entertainment industry. With Orange County rapidly becoming a film and TV hot zone (production already up 50% over last year), now is the time to explore a life in America's most profitable job sector. Get on board with a local company committed to creating and providing jobs for US military veterans and anyone else interested in examining entertainment as a livelihood. In front of the camera, or behind it...on-stage or behind the scenes...here is where you can start. For FREE!

So come on down to Keller-Williams and find out what it's all about on Thursday night, September 6th, at 7:30pm. For more information, call (845) 294-7500 or drop us a line a info@acting anyone.com!

Willy Gilly promotes Safe Homes!

Willy Gilly met this morning with the director of Safe Homes of Orange County, located in Newburgh, New York. David Patrick Wilson and Nan Gill-Wilson talked to Kellyann Kostyal-Larrier, executive director. The organization deals with all of the issues related to broken homes and battered women.

Willy Gilly and Safe Homes met to discuss how to further the goals and work of the organization and to create several events in the next year. The purpose would be how to create general awareness of the issues and possible solutions to a growing challenge in American home life. Among the possible events discussed was a Valentine's Day 2013 gathering (bundle up!) at which Willy Gilly will film a unifying statement made 'en masse' at a local stadium (Dutchess?) to be broadcast everywhere declaring an end to violence against women throughout the world. Both parties have agreed to go forward, and are seeking to have as many men and women (and children) as possible, participate in this extraordinary event. They would like to attract at least five thousand people from the five counties' 1.25 million.

For more information, please contact at www.safehomesorangecounty.org or call (845) 562-5365 during normal business hours. Let's all take a stand for Safe Homes!

Oh, really?

Willy Gilly Productions is in negotiations for the development of a reality show based right here in Orange County! The actual content will remain confidential until the pilot is complete. However, it does involve a very popular local business, and is centered on its owner/operator in his day-to-day dealings. This marks the first time Willy Gilly will be producing content specifically for the reality market. Production will commence in late September.

Also, for anyone out there who has been receiving letters supposedly from a Canadian lottery: IT'S A SCAM! If you receive a letter and a check, contact local authorities immediately!

Coming up later today...it's "Collar" the novel! If you're interested in obtaining a copy, go to collarthemovie.com and order yours! They will be shipped directly from the publisher!

One more thing: David Patrick Wilson has begun scripting the sequel to "Collar" ("The Mayan") and expects to be in production as early as next spring, with the follow-up to the award-winning crime drama! TJ Williams, now retired and working as a security specialist, has to call on chief of detectives (and his old partner) Angel Santangelo one more time to pull him out of the line of fire in a major drug war incident! Stay tuned!

Third year's a charm!

Willy Gilly Productions celebrates its third anniversary today, Friday, August 17th! Statistically, it has been shown that over ninety percent of new businesses fail in its first three years; we have been blessed with many successes and look forward to all of the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead!

We thank everyone in the Hudson Valley with whom we have had the good fortune to work. We are excited about all that is happening under our roof and in fact throughout Ornage County and the Hudson Valley with regard to films, TV, stage and the written word. Stay tuned...there's much more to come!
