If there’s one television show I’ve been an avid fan the best several years, it is Criminal Minds. This show captures everything I enjoy about television. Crime, Thought, and a Straight Forward story that sometimes leaves you guessing as to what will happen next.
I have watched this show since season 1, and own all of the seasons on DVD. I have grown to know the characters, rooted for them, and fallen in love with the actors that are apart of the series.
So, when I heard Shemar Moore (Derek Morgan) was working on a new film project, and was wanting our help. I jumped on board instantly. One, absolutely love him! 2) Uhm. Did you see the pic of him with the puppy? And 3) Lets be honest here, he’s good looking, as heck and 4) He’s a GREAT actor!
About the Project: The Bounce Back
The Bounce Back is destined to be a romantic comedy. In Shemar’s own words:
“The Bounce Back” is a heartfelt romantic comedy about finding the courage to love after love has let you down.
When I read “The Bounce Back” – that very same issue was at the core of the script and the character, Matthew Taylor. I saw a lot of myself in Matthew, although I’ve never written a book (but I’m thinking about it now, hint, hint). I felt a kindred spirit to what Matthew was going through and my own life. Matthew loses his wife, his first love and after a short recovery creates a best selling book and a system of survival in order to shield himself from the pain. He throws himself into a year long speaking tour.
That system of survival; his book and speaking tour, keeps him from falling in love again when he meets the perfect girl, the beautiful and zany Kristin Moreland. Matthew realizes that he has to renounce his book and the world he has created around it in order to take the big unknown plunge of letting himself fall in love again.
I think there is a wonderful poetry to that, the idea of risking it all for love. And I feel, in my heart, that is why we’re here on this planet. To love. After I put down the screenplay, “The Bounce Back,” I knew I had to make this movie simply because I believe in love all the way down to the fabric of my being.
Shemar’s goal is to create this film for YOU, his loyal fans. After reading all of the love via his facebook, twitter, instagram and more he knows what you guys want, and he wants the freedom to give it to YOU!
The plan: The team has gotten together and created a budget of 3M for this film. In the next 30 days he’s asking US, his fans, to help raise 500,000. The other coming from outside investors, and if we came together to raise our end of the deal, Shemar would contribute 1.5M himself to make the project happen.
So, this is where he needs our help. 30 Days! 30 Days to Raise Money for this film project. Lets make it happen.
His campaign is on IndieGogo right now, and lets show the world that we believe in Shemar Moore, and his project.
Shemar has a little something for every person that helps to donate and make this project happen. So, lets do this together. Lets make this happen for him, for us, and make a dream come true.
