When a writer commits an idea to paper beyond a stream of consciousness - there is passion and thought put into it. When they seek out others to support the vision through technical assistance there is courage there. When they seek out collaborators in generating revenue - to do the thing? That is a whole different skill set. A person has to be open to all types of feedback and be willing to navigate through it. It's not the easiest nor the quickest route, and you have to know when and when not to listen. But the lessons are almost as valuable as the successes (hopefully) in revenue one raises. I feel like I've come a long way, and I feel like there is a long way to go. Figuring out how you get someone to give instead of just giving a kudos is tough. I mean we want to get our film made, so there is no crumbling. But I'm seeing three dimensionally - stigma is another word for shame. People not only shame other people but they are afraid to be shamed.

So I am getting the secret kudos and words in hidden inboxes and texts, but barely a comment on the public postings.

Both gay and straight individuals, have shown themselves to be impossibly hands off - when it comes to a story that is representative of both.

The reactions proving what the intro video tackles - shaming and stigmatization is very, very, real.

On the other hand, I have the promise of donations from some brave few and a promise of help - that is nothing short of spectacular.

We will be posting those names as soon as they are received, as a warm "thank-you," and acknowledgement of their courage. They did the very thing I was trying to encourage with the work.
