For those of you that do not think that the ShootMoviesInCalifornia.com effort is working, look again.
Its working.
The politicians do care and they have heard us and want to help to make a difference.
We can make a difference!.

Speaking of making a difference, read below about this great documentary on ESPN.
Its part of the 30 for 30 series that ESPN Films has done.
I saw it last night in my hotel room in Livonia,Michigan ( yes I am shooting in Michigan right now).
It’s called  The Band That Wouldn’t Die.
This documentary is about the Baltimore Colts Marching Band and what they did when the Baltimore Colts organization tried to secretly leave Baltimore in the middle of the night to move the team to Indianapolis.
Its a great story about a group of people that stayed together for 12 years until the NFL brought a new team to Baltimore.
Here is the link to ESPN where you can watch the documentary by Barry Levinson.
Please watch this documentary, it will prove how a small group of motivated people can make changes.
Thanks.
