Antisemitism and racism is alive again from under educated narrow-minded stupid people
ALL OVER the WORLD.
ITS NOT JUST ABOUT JEWS.
Racism exists everywhere and we need to learn, AGAIN, to COEXIST. Tolerance and education.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
The sad part is that those who create racism, bigotry, hatred or antisemitism would have been destroyed in World War II.
And should have BEEN. What a nicer world it would be.
PEACE ULTIMATELY WINS EVERY TIME
Episode I : The Boy from Prague and his Beginning Journey
Gerard, Jerry as his friends and family referred to him, was a young boy in Czechoslovakia when it all began. Like so many young children, some saw their parents again, most didn't. Follow a young 13 year old as it all began and his stories about his parents being swept into the death camps of Nazi Germany and how he made it to a new family and home. One of many interviews in our first season of an in depth biographical episodical documentary film series.
Episode 1 is now in post- production. B-roll added, additional commentary from those who have been with us from the beginning, music and more.
Schools Failing Us: "From Our Teachers"
Why are our some classes fifty or greater in size?
Why are supplies low and leaving our teachers dipping into their savings to help?
An in-depth story from elementary thru high school level teachers talking about what really goes on in the classrooms today. Why classrooms are lacking in educational tools and resources. And most importantly WHAT needs to be done from those who teach our children. No state should have financial challenges for education. Join us, as we talk with teachers from around the country about a problem plaguing many public schools with overcrowded classrooms and underfunded budgets. Something must be done.
Our hope is that through this film, change will happen in states that lack the educational resources and funding sooner than later. It's only the future of our children that's at stake here. Our children deserve smaller classrooms which give the students more attention from their teachers.
SIMPLE!
Problem solved. Brighter students. Brighter Futures..... Brighter World.

Domestic Violence: A Soldier's Story & More
Why some women feel it's okay to hit their spouses in verbal disagreements.
The men who don't hit back.
Typically these women have been abused as children and/or prior relationships
Violence carried forward is their only line of defense to get back at the men who have wronged them. Often dismantling psychologically and physically the sons in their families or next husbands. Broken people as they sometimes call themselves, lash out and hit those they say they love. A mother's cocktails and the drugs they overtake and abuse daily. An all too familiar story of men being abused regularly by women who have it all except men who stick around and put up with it. $100 to $300,000 a year salaries and it's never enough. Drama queens.
Abusing and endangering their children regularly. One said to one of our subjects, "Hit me, hit me, let's see who they believe!" Many so drugged out on pills and think it's okay because it's a prescription while slugging down hard alcohol to excess.
A very personal tale of domestic violence from the victim's standpoint and others who have been there. Guilty until proven innocent. How some courts treat underrepresented men and minorities when violent women/narcissists lie.

Helping Families: Surrogate Moms and Our Gift
Why they do it? What it means to them?
Parenting means the world to the moms that help others who can't. Life is a blessing and for these mothers it's the extension of life & family that they give. 30 to 60 passes by and you have no children. What's a single adult or couple who yearns to be a parent to do when they can't bear children of their own?
Enter the angels...as referred to by the families that they assist. They will carry and help these future families become parents and raise children they have longed for. Stories firsthand from the moms that help.

GRF: Past & Present Projects
The Kindertransport Project: "Our Children's Future"
Currently we are in production of a documentary series about the children who participated in the "Kindertransports" from the WWII era. We have interviewed survivors who are now in their senior years, and we have found some incredible stories that have never been told. These unique interviews are being produced into a compelling and inspiring documentary film series. This project also provides some historical and necessary facts that many people have forgotten about the Holocaust over the years.
Our first segment of interviews was a huge success with survivors from Milwaukee, Madison, Lake Michigan's shoreline and other beautiful parts of Wisconsin. We also reached out to participants in Illinois and Michigan.
What started with one survivor in Milwaukee, WI to 21 across 3 states, had grown monthly from all over the USA, to include 8 mid and western states. We have met with Kindertransport survivors and Holocaust survivors who have agreed to be filmed. We are witnessing and capturing stories to be preserved for years to come for our films but also schools, libraries, religious organizations and other groups that may want our full interviews.
This film gives viewers a rare opportunity to hear first hand accounts of what these, "then children" experienced and what the world has rarely had a chance to hear in a very necessary, historically important, sincere, warm and inspiring documentary series. Inspirational, educational, real and candid are a few ways to describe our films.

We are on a continuing mission to complete more interviews and add to our collection for our series.

Veteran Business Start Ups Live
This project was the taping and production of a 1.5 hour seminar for the Small Business Administration, Washington, DC filmed in Milwaukee, WI.
The show was 1 stop of a 6 city tour on veteran and entrepreneurial owned business start ups.
My team and I were grateful for the opportunity and especially honored when we learned that the show was to air LIVE on the White House website. This was a great start for our team and an amazing experience. Thank you too the SBA and everyone who participated.
