I sent this letter to Will Smith during Christmas break. It will be hard to read unless you save it and blow it up. Here is what the letter says..
Dear Mr. Smith,
I'm renting out the Heights Theater in Minneapolis on April 1st, 2015 to show Cecil B Demils "The Ten Commandments". My primary goal is to use this event to make contact with you. For 7 years I've been working to ask you a question.
Would you consider the role of Moses in a modern day version of "The Ten Commandments"?
The name of my film is "Dreamers Empire". After seeing "The Pursuit of Happyness" I felt as though I needed to ask you to consider this film. Your portrayal of Chris Gardner was amazing. To prove my sincerity you can see my blog.. INeedToContactWillSmith.com.
In early 2015 I will also be starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to complete a storyboard. I will present the storyboard to you to prove the worth of this film idea.
Imagine what it would mean to someone like myself who is pursuting a dream, to have your support. I would like to stand in front of 200+ people on April 1st and say "Yes, Will Smith has said he would consider the role!" I hope you will consider calling or emailing me. Thanks for your consideration.
Dean Rice
