Because what's the matter with perceptions can be solved. [with]tv matters. People have been working tirelessly and without pay behind the scenes for months and months now to make it happen, but funding is needed. Those of you who read my blog know that I rarely, if ever, ask for funding for a particular project. The reason I support [with]tv is that the people on its board are not only talented, but approach issues in a way that offers solutions. They are movers and shakers.
From Howard Renensland,the CEO & Founder of [with]tv:
Upon funding, we will overnight become a mainstream, accessible, inclusive media voice for all people with disabilities, for our entire community and for all of our issues. Yes, by all means, urge Paramount/Dreamworks to employ people with disabilities. But at [with]tv, no encouraging will be necessary. We intend to be a media voice of, by, and for all people with disabilities ... and everyone else.
Now, if Paramount/Dreamworks would consider an early investment in [with]tv, and would mentor/partner with us, we would be putting people with disabilities to work around the world overnight.
Once we are broadcasting OUR perspective and offering authentic portraits of our community; good and bad, positive and negative, etc., THEN we will have control of our own public image. That correct image will then begin to supplant terminology and attitudes that now (sadly) represent us in the minds of the majority of the world's citizens, not the least of which are the power brokers in Hollywood. I welcome your comments, support, and investments.
Please take a look at our blog, our radio show, and our website. Investment inquiries are very welcome. Please feel free to e-mail me."
