I encourage everyone to download for free the original screenplay, "An Uncommon Friendship." It's the kind of story that used to be made in Hollywood. It's not a big budget action film or expensive cliched romantic comedy. It's a simple story about two people who rediscover the joy in life in the most unexpected way, and, as you'll be able to tell from the screenplay, my music is at the heart of the story.

My goal is to make this screenplay into a feature-length movie, but I don't want to go to Hollywood and ask the big movie companies to finance the movie. They would turn it into a romantic comedy starring Hugh Jackman as the vagrant and Gweneth Paltrow as the young boy, discovering happiness as they fall deeply in love. Or they would change it into an action adventure film with Keanu Reeves, where the vagrant's violin would also be a machine gun.

I would like to make this movie the way it is written: simple, sweet and human.

I have put together a donations page in order to raise money for this project. I know this isn't the normal way to raise money but I haven't done anything in my career the normal way. Donations will be credited in the end credits of the movie when the movie is made. We will also be posting our progress on this page.

I hope you read the screenplay and choose to be a part of this project.

Brian
