“GET LOUD! STAY LOUD!” is the follow up to the critically acclaimed film “UNDER THE EIGHT BALL” by director Timothy Grey, which chronicles his efforts to implement change in the way Lyme Disease is diagnosed and treated. The film is centered on these grass root efforts of the filmmaker following the death of his sister to Lyme Disease.

                                       “Under The Eightball is a documentary,
                                  as provocative and disturbing as imaginable,
                                   that plays like a top-notch biological thriller.”
                                                               -LA TIMES

                                            “Angry passion and visual energy
                                       define this extraordinary documentary”
                                                             -VILLAGE VOICE

                                                 “A heartfelt documentary.
                                                      An emotional journey.
             The film envelopes in a tender, visually compelling cocoon.”
                                                                -NY TIMES

In 2007 the CDC admitted in its annual Infectious Disease Report that it may be under-reporting new case of Lyme by a factor of 10. Given the 27,444 cases reported that year, it is possible, if not probable, that the number of actual cases reached 240,000 in the United States alone. That would mean the number of cases in the 30-year history of Lyme Disease, has crested 7.2 million. However, most cases go unreported to doctors, never making it to the CDC Surveillance data base.

                                                            What is the Problem
                                                  With Diagnosing Lyme Disease
                                                       in a Symptomatic Patient?

The CDC publishes its treatment guidelines for Lyme Disease based on a report produced by a 13 member advisory panel, organized by the Infectious Disease of America (ISDA). This panel has been found to have serious conflicts of interest and was the subject of an article published by the Gonzaga Law Review entitled “Unprecedented Antitrust Investigation into the Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines Development Process.” All of the original authors have been found to have ties to insurance and or pharmaceutical companies, patents, or the production of a past or present vaccine which contains OSPa, the causative agent of Lyme Disease.

Lyme disease is NOT RARE, NOT EASILY cured if missed, And It is NOT restricted to only certain areas of world. It is the fastest growing infectious disease in the U.S. It is estimated that every 90 seconds someone is diagnosed with Lyme disease

The film Get Loud! Stay Loud! Begins in 2010 with the formation of a group dedicated to the rescinding of the ISDA and its guidelines on Lyme Disease. These guidelines were found, by this group, to be the largest obstacle for patients in fair and reliable diagnostic criteria and treatment.

                                   The Groups Mission  - Direct Confrontation

* They began staging protests at newspaper and radio stations that printed or aired misleading and incorrect information.

* They confronted county health departments as well as state medical review boards on the practices and standards of this disease.

* They began distributing 300 page documents to congress detailing the daily suffering, loss of family, dignity, health, homes and careers because of the costs of treatment.

* They began confronting the authors of the guidelines themselves — unannounced drop-ins to offices and hospitals, ambushes at speaking engagements and public forums.

                                    They Would Be Held Accountable
                                                       for Their Actions

GET LOUD! STAY LOUD! Seeks to further the reformation of a disease that has claimed thousands, if not more, of unsuspecting, innocent people- needlessly.

GET LOUD! STAY LOUD! Will incorporate a concise, stylized, graphic set, animation, compelling original music, a combination of interviews and live on-site events shot in HD 24p, HD compact cams, along with cell phone and audio recordings.

The film will target an ever growing Lyme Disease patient community across the globe, as well as those who have yet to be diagnosed. It will serve as a warning to an ill prepared medical system. Moreover, that there is an impending epidemic of recombinant bacterial infections, threatening the very core of our society and a small group of individuals who will profit greatly upon each diagnosis..past, present and future.


                                               This is the Story of the Fight
                                             to Remove Those Individuals
                                                     From Their Positions


With your help, we will debut the film, Get Loud! Stay Loud! in 1- 12 cities, targeting endemic areas first, then spreading the word of the Lyme disease corruption across the entire Country. We are planning a grassroots support campaign to backup the multi-city release. This will include regional multi-date screenings with support groups and advocates, a regional release throughout Michigan and the region as well as a promotional tour with the director and producer where they will be available to answer questions about the film.

This release will also include a Pr firm which will coordinate interviews with the filmmakers and put the conversation of Lyme into the spotlight and into the national conversation.
