“Many movies made today have no moral compass or backbone. They are released in a vain attempt to make money, subtly or more aggressively push an agenda. From the first day you put words to paper, your primary motivation has been to bring an endearing and heartwarming character to life, to release something special to.”the world, to give children and adults a humble hero to root for, to deliver a timely and positive message and to show good triumphing over evil. Not once have I heard you use the “word ‘I’ when discussing why the movie was important or why it should be made. Not once have I heard you talk about” potential income or personal gain from making the movie. In fact, it is usually quite the opposite. Your efforts have always been about others. Your selfless motivation is what has me and others lined up and ready to work with you and for you on this project.

 

“You have my unshakable support of Finney. Be it voicing a character, or simply spreading the word and sharing your message of its importance with the world, whatever helps you bring Finney to life and get this film on screens worldwide. People financially support so many marginal projects today. I am confident that investors will see the critical importance and value of Finney, the message of hope he brings to the world and lend their financial backing to this gift you have given the world.”
