SUBJECT: [MOPO] mopo/o/t Lookin to sell my life story -book and movie
rights
hey Mopo - puttin out the word,,
I am looking for a Book deal and to sell the movie rights
to the life story of my busines..
Hollywood Dream Factory®
and the Dream factory™
this book will be about my history of 40 years inshow biz.staring at
my
youth wheni was expelled from schoolatage 15 fordrawinga picture of
ledzepplin inart class..to wheni palyed music and was with the
famous-
50s band Johnny and the hurricanes, in 1973 to when from 1977 I sold
pop culture and motion picture memorabilia to every major film studio
and collector around theh world..recived a paten t and trademarks and
copyrights,,and the struggle we get from life with divorce lawsuit
sto
save my trademark, financial woes, health issues,and my views on the
world...
the story will be about how many people mentred me..liek Johnny,,and
my
1st mentor Mel Blanc of bugs bunny fame,,,Adam west whom i became
close
with in the mid 80s and tryed to get himback as Batman, many movie
people that i was able to speak with and get thieradvise on how to
stay
inshow biz without getting burned,,
Many of the collectors tat shared with me the ideas and thoughts,,
and how in 2007 when i was starting over after divorce how the phone
rang and it was Arnold Schwarzenegger office as he was a Governor and
he
ordered my clapoards to give away to all the go
vendors in USA..and how story's i learned over the years inspired me
from Roy disney, walt Disney,
and about anyone who ever was in show business,
how I made 5 million without any college and not being able to spell
selling movie posters a memorabilia to all the studios, the retailers
like media play and suncoast and museums
How Debbie Reynolds and her family inspired me..ad encouraged me..how
many Hollywood legends stories also inespired me over the years
hw even collectors i met along the way inspired me in busienes and
educated me..and how many old show busines people i met and spoe with
likeGeorge Hurrell, Linwood dunne, Loyd Berman. and many many more
like
inventors Bernie cousino, and Edward Lowe and many others told me
never
give up..
the book idea came after my son said: " write a book so i can see how
you survived" as he was so young and even my-exwife said go ahead
tell
them everything...
as part of what happened was i took a great financial loss as she
handled the checkbooks and i would sign a 2-sig part check and she
would
not mail it !!when she brokedown and said i acant be trusted i said
whats a mariage about but trust and hended the checkbook back and she
did it again !!! so i now have trust issues ..if you cant trust your
partner who do you trust????
million dollar question eh??
i am notalone i knw many suffer even more..matter f fact wheni
gotalne
it was he 1st time i saw if you modify lifestyle,costs ,diet and
stress..you can do amazing stuff... and soeven with my health issues
i
was able to get back on track and impartiially blind,deaf in one ear
and
my foot had to be reconstructed and 4heartstents,,but ive ben getting
healthier and myspirit feels greateven though illdiscuss that in my
book
also..as is god there has been my question and imthe original
doubting
Thomas..for real....so ill disacuss faith and how itaffects us in
everything...
matter offact ill even discuss friendships as the backbone of
everything
in life...and some times how others get triggered of stuff that
hapend
to themadnthey misfire at us because theyare simpkkycofused and
sad,,,,
by no means will my book fix you or be all theanswers as im still in
the proces...but you may feel wow this guy know s what iam feeling or
guess im nt alone...
part of me wondered does anyone give a shit?? well i think they do as
wheni tell mystories to customer service pepe they always thank me
and
say wow ok as many peple yell at the service people because they
dontsee
that we all should serve each other..so i will tell mystories on why
custoer service is a great opportunitie to build friendships and
relationships....
soill detail withactuall storys how i landedd some big deals not
because
iwas so smart but tat i told them i honestly was not sure but
promiced
to do my best..and so we learn that track record is how we get uudged
in
many businesses...as its not just price or a goood sales pitch
theafter
sale busines is just as important as before the sale come ons...and
so
many vendors just land he sale liekcatchina fish...if you help the
customer you now havea lifetime customer..
so i ended up with 100k i payed off between 1993 and 97 and gota
75cent
refund check !! meanwhile i had to fight a trademark lawsuit and that
was another 30K but we won and they had to pay it plus atty
fees,,,soi
got a vast eduacation on trademarks and copyrights..
which has always been a issue with show biz folks from Disney ,edison
and the entire movie industry from day one...
this story is to help creative artists and dreamers to see that we
all
suffer the same issues....people that plagerized or steal your
ideas,,are not fair and try to conquest you or denie you of creative
rights,,it will helpanyone that ever had a idea on theprocess, and
why
anyone can do it as anyone inhistory that even had a idea didnt give
up
but kept on trying as longas they lived and the good guys always
nurture
ideas and dreamers not bootleg them,,,however many of thestories i
will
share are the ones when the dreamers almost lost the dream oreven
did...as many never even get credited with the idea....as they says
the
vistors write the history books...as in the indians of the
USA,,,,however there is something about the truth,,,it is slow
verslow
and many times we think its gone..but we all feel it,sense it and
whenwe
do..ther is unity as we all want and need the same thing..
So my book will also be about hw sometimes the very adversarial
people
in your life can come to your aid in times of need..in show biz we
call
it paying your dues.....Mel Blanc when I asked him in NOV 1976 can i
be
honest and stay in this business??? as even then the casting couch
was
around for Guys trying to make it in Music also...as i was only 20 ..
mel said : "well Tom there are some good guys and some not so good
guys....try to network with the good guys and you will be fine"..and
so
for41 years i have tryed to do that and ive learned that many people
even the bad guys can have a change of heart..thats the miracle of
life
we are all connected..and we all learn by mistakes,,,and so much of
lifeis a greyarea,,whenever i suffer oram misunderstiid...my main
inspiration my jewish carepenter friend,,Jesus sayd well tom and
shrugs
and says why do you expect to be treted better,,they did many things
to
me and i didnt do anything....thats when i say good point whoam i
buta
goofy memorabilai dealerand a rock wanna be who just seemed to fall
into
bad deals and goofy stuff,,afterall my ex did she said well i think
it
was MS as that cause all kind of mental issues...mental issues are
rampant in all sectors and i thought well maybe thats it....Imagine
your
entire reputation could be misunderstood as a spouse ..it happens
every
day...just look at hollywood, politics ..we all get blamed for the
actions fa few...had Ms..??? thats why I understand life issues..
Collectors will be interested in My book esp Movie poster guys as i
will
examine my 40 years in trends and why it went from where people
laughed
at me and said why would i put a poster on my wall to thinking i was
a
porno shop , to how they laughed wheni said my Name was Hollywood
Dream
factory® and now there is a major gambling casino in Toledo called
Hollywood Casino in Toledo and everyone is still trying to cal
themselves the Dream Factory which the trademark office said
conflicts
it my legal right ful name nw since 1977....
I did'nt want to re-live many of the tragic parts of my life and
memories,,however i see this could help many other dreamers, my son
and
fuel me in my business and so someone can make a lot of money and
help
others at the same time.. i need a super literary agent,,I would like
a
deal with a major publisher and to sell the movie rights to a serious
huge film company..my goal is to start a foundation to help others
and
get myself finacial independet .help my son and see what else i can
do
to help others before i leave this pop stand..i would love to hear
from
principals in the publishing arena and would like a agency like ICM
or
someone of that level to rep me and my story's...thank YOu and best
to
all the veterans and family's on this day.
