Help Finish The Walking Man Movie

Donation protected


FULL STORY HERE!
“The Walking Man” is the true story of James Robertson, who caught the attention of the national media when it was discovered that he walked 21 miles a day to keep his job in Southeastern Michigan. For the last decade, Robertson defied sub-zero weather, 90 degree temperatures, three feet of snow, torrential downpours, and encountered physical abuse on numerous occasions, to keep his 9-5 manufacturing position in a region where the jobless rate for African Americans exceeds 25%.

Robertson’s story received news coverage around the world, and prompted ABC News to name him, “Person of the Week.”

Hooray! We have shot the short film: Walking Man, which you can veiw on this page.  But help us finish this film by turning it into a full-length movie. 

Did you know that soon after receiving over $350K in donations and a car the Detroit Police were needed to escort James to a non-disclosed location for his safety? 

Did you know that after recieving $350K James had to take out a personal protection order against a former "girlfriend" because she harrased him daily at his job, demanding her "cut?" 

There is so much more to this story that needs to be told.   So help us finish this movie by donating $25, $35, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or what ever lower or higher amount you desire.  Those donating $1000 or more, we will list their name in the film credits as an ASSOCIATE PRODUCER.

This film was written by an up-and-coming Detroit film producer, Jean-Claude Lewis, who represents the cutting edge among African American filmmakers.  Lewis teamed up with twice Emmy-Nominated documentary filmmaker Brian Kruger of Stunt3 Multimedia to produce "Walking Man."  Projected completion: Summer 2017.

James Robertson’s story is one of inspiration, perseverance, determination and loyalty, and needs be seen by as many people as possible, especially our youth.  "We're making this movie because we want to place a copy of it in every school so the youths of today will learn the lessons of perseverance, determination and loyalty, " exclaims Jean-Claude Lewis.

Walking Man Films, the production entity formed by Lewis, who as a Disabled American Veteran, looks to raise enough money to not only shoot the full-length film but to also provide a DVD of this film to every school and public library.
