On My TOY Wish List...

Who are the top/major
10 Movers & Shakers in
THE TOY AND MOVIE INDUSTRIES
whose CLOUT
can ‘move’ a Product
i.e.: into the major Animation Studios?

My Movie Script called iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 beat out 3,164 others in the Hollywood International Screenwriting Competition called SCRIPTAPALOOZA (that uses only seasoned Movie Industry Professionals as their Readers) in July, 2010.  Now, after being rewritten as 2 Scripts and 2 Books, ‘ANTS (collectively)  needs a ‘Shove’ in the ‘Write’ Direction by securing a Producer & Interest, for starters.  Fans & Followers of the Series (on Twitter – LinkedIn & Facebook) feel this 7 Part Series is ideal for Animation.  

Thematically, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 is Part of the:

 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE
HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE ©2009


Series whose three (3) prevailing Themes are to:

 

Eliminate Racism;

Dispel the Mixed Messages & Ironies we receive every Day; and

Get to the Heart of what really matters.

 

SEEING THE VALUE IN THIS PROJECT:  I mailed a Media Kit to Ms. Mellody Hobson (Mrs. George Lucas), Chairman of the Board for DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. in March of 2013 that contained Photos of THE TOYS and she responded by stating: 

You are quite the Creative Genius.”

The 10 CHARACTERS (renamed as CHARACTOYS® to keep to their Theme) are all TOYS derived from my Private TOY Collection.  As hot and as ‘charming’ as ever, THE TOYS represent a wild Cross-Section of Species here on Planet Earth whose Messages (based in Nature) are timeless and ageless in Appeal, Stance and Framework.

STATUS OF PROJECT TO DATE:  Looking for Contacts.  A Finder’s Fee is being offered to any Individual who permanently places this multi-level Project.

Dear LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter Associates and Friends:

I’ve been writing-up a Storm the last three (3) years and now I am taking a Break to solicit your Expertise & Assistance. I’m taking this Action before 2014 sets in because the Topic is very timely and Time is of the Essence in all Concerns and Matters.   In 1,262 Words, I’ve explained my Purpose below: 

No doubt about ‘IT.’  Racism is the worst Problem Mankind faces.  Moreover, if we dissect the Word ‘Mankind,’ there is nothing ‘kind’ about Man when ‘IT’ comes to the Hate, Bigotry and Scorn many of them/us use when ‘IT’ comes to our Brothers & Sisters (i.e. The Family of Mankind) who … after all, share the same Ground, Air, Space and DNA with us.  Therefore, in order to put ‘IT’ all into Perspective and to eliminate Racism once and for all (of us), I have written (to date:  Saturday, August 17, 2013) 4/7 of a Series called:


SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE

How 10 Beloved Plush TOYS Redefine Race ©2009

 

“What the Movie, ‘Bambi’ did for Forest Fires in the early 1950s

is what ‘SKiN’ does for Racism here in the 21ST Century.”

 

That’s a direct Quote from Robert E. Hofstadter of Hofstadter & Associates (1 of my Readers whose Family has won 3 Pulitzers and 1 Nobel Prize.  Therefore, he knows about the Dynamics of what Great Literature is all about). Hof’s Comment was aired about ‘THE SKiN SERiES’ after Script #3 entitled:

iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009

beat out 3,164 other Movie Scripts in the annual Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition held in Hollywood, California. Its Founder & President, Mark Andrushko (formerly of Chicago, my Hometown) employs only the top Movie Industrialists – the Movers and Shakers – to read (peruse and ultimately select) these Submissions.  This Corporate Elite evidently know what will sell and what will ‘make IT’ on the A&E: Arts & Entertainment Scene.

Since July of 2010 when iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 was selected, I meticulously rewrote the Project into 2 Books & 2 Spec Scripts to demonstrate the Topic has Lasting Power.  Historically, ‘ANTS’ ranked as Spec Script #3 (of THE SKiN SERiES) as I taught myself how to screen-write after Hugh Grant, an Actor/Producer read Chapter/Scene 28 of the Original Text and seriously declared in April of 2009:

Adrienne, this sounds like Children’s Performance Theatre.”

From that Point (58 Character Deduction) onward, I knew the Series had Merit.  Now, PROJECT: SKiN (that encapsulates iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009) needs its ‘Break into the Big Time.’ 
 

TACKLING ONE ANT HILL AT A TIME:  To keep the(ir) momANTum in place, as

America’s Premier Eventologist

(a Title I received from Gene Koprowski of Insight Magazine of Washington, DC

 in August of 1996)

 
&

 
The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World

(yet another Designation I received from

 Eric Zorn of The Chicago Tribune in Chicago, Illinois

 in January of 2001),

 
I have proclaimed:

August is ANT Appreciation Month ©2010’

Following suit, I have obtained the acceptANTS & recognition of scores of Myrmecology (ANT SciANTist) Groups, Associations and Organizations on Facebook and throughout The Web for the last three (3) years.  Fascinating as these Insects are, because there are 31 charactANTS® in my 2 Scripts/Manuscripts (as well as an ANT-iculated Vocabulary of 245 ANT Words/Terms that delight Children and aid in the Marketing/Branding/Interacting of the Product Lines), there is Continual Interest and a build-up about iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS as a popular Entity. 
 

Due to the unmitigANTed Fact that ANTS naturally come in a wide Variety of Colors and Sizes (as Humans do), this Species of 130,000,000 years old has collectively seen a PlANeT that was NOT riddled by Humans…when Bigotry, Prejudice & Hate were nowhere to be found. 

“As fascinating as a Topic on what ANTS can represent,

 Koopersmith examines how People can finally solve

one of our gravest of all Societal ills  as poignANTly as can be done.”

 

That direct Quote is from Julie Kurtz, Translator & Interpreter ( of Evanston, Illinois) who is working on the Spanish Translation of the Manuscripts. 

TO REITERATE:  No doubt about ‘IT.’  Racism is the worst Problem Mankind faces.  Worse than the Wrath of Mother Nature and the Cause of many Wars, Racism bears Contempt, Dislike and Inhuman Dramas that none of us need. Racism can begin with an off-colored Remark posed as an Insult tossed between 2 Elementary School Kids that escalates into a Bullying Match that leads to Militia, Hate Groups and Holocaustic Events that still mar our Planet.  As Smokey the Bear (who turned 69 on August 9 when I turned 61, as active BabyBoomers, who have the ‘Right & Write Stuff’ on our furry and fleshy Sides): 

“Only you can prevent Forest Fires.”

As the Creator of SKiN ™, I say:  “Only you can eliminate Racism.”

…one Person at a time; one Smile at a time; one Chat at a time;  one ANT at a time; one TOY at a time. 
 

MY SPECIAL REQUEST IS:  PROJECT: SKiN ™ needs to get discovered. The Time is right.  In today’s current Events and Global News, the Topic of Racism leads the List.  The Topic makes News 24/7.  The CharacTOYS® in the other Scripts (of which 4/7 are penned already) are TOYS from my Private TOY Collection as I have been actively collecting TOYS since Birth, which are the most Marketable Commodity in Contemporary Branding Wars.


THE GOAL OF THIS MiSSiVE:  I want to assemble a Team of Expert Professionals consisting of Venture Capitalists; a Movie and/or Animation Studio; Publishing House and Media Outlets (for starters) who want to invest and launch this Project.  Together we can:

Eliminate Racism;
                                    Dispel the Mixed Signals & Ironies We received every Day; and

Get to the Heart of what really matters.

Those are the prevailing Themes of:

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE

How 10 Beloved Plush TOYS Redefine Race ©2009

featuring:  iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009

“In Literature as in the Movies, the Bottom Line remains as ‘IT’ (whatever ‘IT’ may enfold) has always been about ‘The Glory of The Story.’  Mark my Words (all of them) as others have examined ‘IT,’ The SKiN Series will travel through Time and Space with Grace much as Aesop’s Fables have affected Readers of all Ages and throughout all the Ages.”

All IT takes is one call…

After all, isn’t that the Message we behold when leading our Lives? 

Thank you for your anticipated Help and Cooperation.  I look forward to receiving your Feedback and hearing your Comments, if Time prevails.

 

Sincerely,

NOTE-WORTHY NEWS:  For those curious amongst you, the colorful Avatar here is of GORF, THE FROG who is 1 of the 11 leading CharacTOYS®  in this Series.  BTW:  GORF is FROG back-words, a Creature who has resided on Planet Earth for 217,000,000 years.  Having outlived the Mighty Dinosaur, THE FROG (like all the Creatures in my Series here) has a History, Prehistory & STORY  to RST: Relay, Share and Tell.  He would indeed make Aesop proud.

"AUGUST IS ANT APPRECIATION MONTH". Let the Month-long Picnic begin. Celebrating 1 of Nature's most incredible Insects.


ASK's EVENTOLOGICAL RECO:  AUGUST IS ANT APPRECIATION MONTH (its 4TH one) ©2010, one of my favorite HOLIDATES that was created for my Movie Script,
 
iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009

whose ‘Claim to Fame’ is that it beat out 3,164 other Submissions in the Scriptapalooza Intl Screenplay Competition back in 2010.  And that was such a long time ago.  From Prehistory to Contemporary Times, those Ants just don't miss a beat whether Life deals with us Humans in it and/or Nature and all the Climactic Conditions that happen to all of us, no matter what species we are.  130 million years of Evolution(ary Time) has proven Ants as 1 of the strongest and formidable Creatures on the Planet, verifying it's NOT Size that counts.

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature ™
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race ©2009

 
Each ANT possesses its own ANTiculated Personality as well as a Vocabulary of over 245 ANT-ified Terms.  Nature.  You got to have nature. It’s what keeps us sane.  It’s what intrigues us no matter how old we are or where we come from or plan on going to.

ASK's comm-ANT-ary on Day #23 of: ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTL ©2010

Tuesday, August 23, 2011 is Day 23 of the Second Global Celebration of:

ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL©2010

Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today & the Remainder of August only because ANTS are as ANTeresting as can be, not BEE. That’s another Species, Folks.

As one of the leading ANTS in my Books & Movie Scripts explains:

“There’s no need for us ANTS to be domesticated in our social system. WE are advANTSed far beyond domestication. WE fare very well ‘The Way’ WE are, as WE ANTS were created so long ago before ‘long’ became a standard Human vocabulary word and before Human domestication turned other species into dependANTS, not independANTS. Indeed, domestication is one workable definition of slavery. Domestication is getting along with and being subserviANT to creatures in one’s domain that prevail in a variety of ways, many of which can be caustic for the health & welfare of less well-arm(our)ed and well-suited life forms. Our actions (if seriously observed by all other species including Humans) are the building blocks of how a cellular civilization should be operated, cell-by-cell. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, WE ANTS are far more civilized than much LARGER species living here on Planet Earth, proving size or brawniness and SKiN color have never mattered when judging the character of a character.”

You can’t say it much better than that in 162 words!

is a return to The Internet to see what other ANT Facts can be discovered since Kids (of all ages) are usually partial and prone to these:

Direct from: http://bit.ly/dtj03L

We find that: The animal with the largest brain in proportion to its size is the ANT. They are known to be the smartest species of insects with about 250,000 brain cells.

That reminds me of the Quote: Never underestimate a person or other creature due to their Size. ANT-eresting for sure!

iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 - a Literary Milestone: July 25, 2011

As posted on my Facebook Page earlier today.

ASK ON GREAT LITERARY NEWS:
Dateline: Monday, July 25, 2011 – 5:20 PM CST

Both Books entitled iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 combined are now well over 50,000 words! About the size of an average colony. Enough ANTS to invade a picnic and nearly 8 times the amount of the population of my home town – if each Word is equated to a Person. And there are some persons/people that do remind me of words. Good ones; bad ones and ones that can’t be discussed in/on Social Networkg Groups like these. After all, aren’t we quite judgmental when we see someone walking down the street – don’t most of us TAG them even B-4 we get to know them – if we do that, at that? U have to love those Milestones that slip in when least expected…like uninvited company. Like while being iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS.
