Jeremy Doss

Jeremy Doss is a great composer in Hollywood but more than that he is a great human being. He volunteered to be the composer for the film without asking any upfront compensation. He wants to support homeless Veterans and their plight. I think this is the real memorial day gift for the veterans all over the America and the world

what's happening

I know I have not updated the blog for a while...I m not lazy but due to unavoidable circumstance which is common to independent documentary filmmakers curtailed me..However, I am back now

The trailer

The Ballad of Robert & Harvey trailer was made by Ron and here it is

The Ballad of Robert & Harvey

Centered on the troubled friendship between Robert and Harvey, the film exposes the unique hardships and common humanity of people who live among us but are virtually unknown.

That's the story I wanted to tell the world. I wanted to relate ourselves with those unlucky people. I think we are lucky to have roof on us. Who knows what will happen to us tomorrow.. So lets not ignore those people. When you see them on the road side please don't make any comments at least. If you are interested take them to near by food joint get them some thing to eat they appreciate that.. Sure some of them drug addicts.... but not many of them..

My editors

When I finished the project, I was looking for an Editor who has compassion to do this film. Its not just yet another homeless film showing drugs, prostitution etc. I wanted to show the human side of the homeless people. I made very elaborate search finally I have got an editor 'Tim Vece' when he seen a first tape he took one month leave from his paying gigs and started to digitize entire 60 hours of film and made 120 minutes film. Tim is a great human being and I salute for his yo man service and compassion towards fellow humans. Next Charla Williams took the film and created a current story of the first part of the film, meanwhile she got admission to do PhD in documentary in UCLA she relocated to CA. Then comes Ron he is another great man he is trained physician and psychiatrist turned avid editor. He has great sense for music and he created 78 minutes film and renamed it as "The Ballad of Robert & Harvey" Ron wanted to move to LA to join with his son's family so he also left the project. Once again God sends me angels to my side, I have been very lucky in that case Pete and Matt joined with me to complete all three parts of the film now. These guys are young and very vibrant people. They have great skills and knowledge...BTW Pete hates Mac....Now the duo editors almost completed the first part and they are on their way to the second part...

Seth the Sailor

Seth is another interesting unfortunate man I met in the alien world. He is very intelligent and smart man. He was a physical therapist but when things went wrong he lost his licence to practice and his family and life. He was a Gulf war veteran and served in the US Navy. His two of children even do not know whether he is alive or not....

Harvey Wall Banger

Harvey is another man whom I met at the homeless world. He has 7 different cancer and full blown AIDS but he is the example of hope and joy for man kind. He was a former Vice President of U Haul and first marketing professor of Atlanta tax college in 1970. I guess man's fate is decided when he was born that's what my mother use to say. He had every thing but now he has ID card, pocket of cigarette and a pair of reading glass. He is well dressed man in the homeless world. He was also served in the US Navy and served in Vietnam. He was raped and molested by 19 year old man when he was 5 years old. He tells me that opened his eyes that he loves men. He lived with his partner for 35 years. His partner died of AIDS in 2003 from then he become a homeless thanks to his partner's family
