Atula Siriwardane

I'm now working with Atula Siriwardane from Sri Lanka to create a storyboard. I'm posting a project at Kickstarter to fund the storyboard. Here is one sample of the work Atula has done for me :)

I had a dream

First - my opening line. If you know Will Smith, or anyone who knows him and can get him this message, would you and your family consider looking at a modern day "Ten Commandments" script, would you have him contact dean@dreamersempire.com?

Last night I had a dream that I found Will Smith and he was walking away so I had to get bold and tell him about my movie. I told him about his role as Moses and each of his families roles, during that part he was astounded like it was connecting with him. Then I asked him how tall he was and he said 6 feet 2 inches, I said I thought he was taller. But sure enough I checked it out today and that is how tall he is!

Pretty cool.

Hello new Twitter friends

How does one say it, this is NOT just some attempt to get you to buy something or get my followers up. This blog is my attempt to get in touch with Will Smith. No easy task, I've been writing letters, calling his agent and agency, well, there's probably a few other million people who'd like to get in touch with Will.

I've been working on this film concept, a modern day "Ten Commandments" for 18 years now and I've had Will in mind for the role of Moses for a few years. I also have parts for Jada, Jaden and Willow written into the script. I'm about to share about 8 chapters of the book I'm writing, but I'm going through a re-write. You will be able to read them here.

And with that, I ask you the question I've been asking anyone I can. Do you know of anyone who might have contact with the Smith family or his agency? I only need to communicate what I stated above, would you, Mr. Smith, consider looking at a treatment for a modern day "Ten Commandments"?

*He is apparently looking for a movie to work on as a family.

Thanks for checking out my blog, hope you can follow me :)

12/27 - Why Will Smith?

OK - 12/27 Why Will Smith?

In truth, I can't recall exactly how he came to mind. But when it did, I was so enamored with it that it felt inspired. Think about him doing a modern day Moses, does it sound right? I'm sure people will feel differently on it, but let me ask this, who do you see as Moses? My gut says its Will, all the way. My favorite Will Smith performance was in "Pursuit of Happyness." He captures so much in that film, especially desperation and humility. The desperation was there for most of the film, and the humility came when he landed the job. Wow, I'm surprised he didn't win an Academy Award for that role.

Another reason is his family values, and his family. I have had Will, Jada and Jaden in the film for quite a while. In truth I didn't know much about Willow until recently and once I saw her perform I knew exactly where she would fit. This family demonstrates what so few in Hollywood have ever done, a cohesive family supporting one another and working together.

Tomorrow I'll start talking about my script.

April 1 - 2009 "Ben-Hur"

April 1st - 2009   I rented out the Heights Theater in Minneapolis and arranged to have "Ben-Hur"  shown. Why is best explained at my prweb press release. In short, I wanted to let Hollywood know that..

• Many folks like me were sick of driving by 16 screen theaters and not wanting to see one single movie.
• At one time Hollywood wasn't ashamed to make epic movies that were inspiring
• I want to pitch a modern day "Ten Commandments" movie that I've been working on for 17 years.

180 people came for the show and we were all amazed that audiences can clap together, laugh, cry and leave the theater inspired and happy.

This year I wrote the film in summary form and have received some expert coaching from a writer who is encouraging me to keep pursuing this, she thinks I have a good story.

*Now there is a lot of in between that event and this blog, but to cut to the end (and then fill in the middle) I just discovered that the actor I had in mind for Moses, Will Smith, is looking for a movie concept to do with his family. And that is EXACTLY what I have been doing with my script. So in the coming posts you'll find out the purpose of this blog is ..

I NEED TO CONTACT WILL SMITH AND PITCH HIM MY MODERN DAY TEN COMMANDMENTS SCRIPT CALLED "DREAMERS EMPIRE".

Can you help?
