Hello my friend! I haven't checked the gofundme route mostly because I have not fully dedicated myself to this project yet. I really thought the famous Philippine director who contacted me this year would find a way. But sadly this was not to be the case.

Something else I have grappled with over the years are these kind of questions: Why do I want to tell this story? Is it just my ego? Why should I care what other people think? Do I even advocate the kind of life he lived? Ultimately he was was a good man but was suckered in by the american dream and his naivety cost him everything.

In moments like this when there is new information I feel myself more drawn towards it and I wonder if a documentary might help wake a few people up from their own versions of the american dream? The idea of helping people is a more powerful one than the idea of re-writing the history books.
