RR1 Alma RR1 AlmaI have found a Child actor that looks just like Christopher McKee. I have no money but if I can find someone to play the part of Shawn and with a little luck some voliteers to fill the rest of the cast I can make the film now and finaly complete a 20 year dream of making this film. If not I'll put it back on hold agian.
If any one could help with some sponcership through props, cars , filming locations or a small amount of cash it would also be greatly helpfull.
This production is not just about me but it is also about the child actors that wish to make acting their career. This production just may do that.
