When Mike Handcock was shooting this film, he asked permission to shoot some footage with our producer, Sandy Jacobson, and she agreed.  Being a film veteran, Sandy knew that a lot of what gets shot for a film, ends up on the editing room floor...and didn't give it another thought.  Over lunch, the day of the Los Angeles Premier, Mike Handcock surprised her with the news that she has a cameo in the film ! Thank You, Mike !

YOUR PERSONAL BRAND WORKSHOP:

In conjunction with the L.A. Premiere of DREAMCATCHERS, Mike Handcock is presenting a 1-day Workshop:

Want to Become an Overnight Success?

"Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You."   Tom Peters in Fast Company, 1997

 

You have seen shows like 'The Biggest Loser' or 'The Apprentice' or 'The Bachelor'. Have you ever thought what they are really about? ATTRACTION Yes, that's right we are either attracted or repulsed by people due to one thing only: Their Personal Brand. The same thing happens to each of us every day. In a business transaction, a job interview, a marketing exercise. We either win or lose based on our ability to attract. Wealth Profiles give you an indication of who you are, but each of the profiles - even the quietest lord - can create massive attraction. Ever heard the old adage 'People buy because of you first - the company second and the product third.' It's true - everything you get is all about your ability to attract.

 

Check out this one day workshop on YOUR PERSONAL BRAND and gain information that will take you to the next level. One of the things you will learn is how people who take action are often rewarded. To prove this you may even get the workshop for FREE if you take action. Check it out. The information you gain here could significantly improve your ability to attract what you want in life.

 

Los Angeles –

April 11th, 8:30AM - 5:30 PM

Location TBA after Registration is comleted.
 

 THE CRUISE:
In addition to the premiere and workshop,
there will be a cruise
August 21-28, 2010
with workshops on-board
to teach YOU how to become a
DREAMCATCHER !

"3 Snapshots" of My Personal DREAMCATCHER Story...
as it is unfolding:
Photo #1 -   I, (Sandy Jacobson) am pictured above with Peter Tork after his concert at the 2010 NAMM Festival.  My biggest dream, since the age of six, was to see him perform "just once" and "hopefully" meet him "someday" because of how his music and television show gave me the laughter and strength to get through my recovery from a life-threatening car accident at age six. THAT dream came true, nine years ago, on February 10, 2001. This year, Peter Tork asked me to work for him at the 2010 NAMM Festival, where he publicly thanked me for that work in front of industry peers, AND for my work on
 
 
Photo #2
"I was forced into "early retirement" from acting at age six (or so I thought), due to permanent injuries from a life-threatening car accident.  I walked through my life "knowing" that I would never act again.  Prior to meeting Mike Handcock, I unknowingly began applying some of the principals that he introduces, and I literally found myself cast in
"Pirates of the Caribbeann II- Dead Man's Chest"
out of 20,000 submissions. 
I subsequently worked in 8 feature films, 4 television episodes, and 3 music videos (one as "the Featured Girl" in an MTV music video)...
BEFORE beginning to produce my own
television show, BackStage:Los Angeles. 
 
Since meeting Mike, I now know how/why this happened, and know even better how to apply these principals."   People keep telling me that I need to publish my life story...
but I know that 'my story' doesn't yet have an ending ! 
(I HAVE written the title.)"
 
 
Photo #3 -  The Family Affair Cookbook by Kathy "Cissy" Garver with Geoffrey Mark is a tasty trip to the elegant retro-recipes of the 1960s! Not only does Kathy share the culinary secrets of Mr. French's kitchen as well as those of the great restaurants of the era, but she shares warm and poignant memories of working on one of the classic sitcoms of all time. Included are recipes from Kathy's own kitchen and many never-before published photos from her private collection. Whether you are a Family Affair fan or a lover of good food, this book is for you! 
Order this great book at www.kathygarver.com or Amazon.com
 
 
"This project is also near and dear to my heart, and is another DREAMCATCHER story for me.  At age 12, while living in Goleta, CA, I entered an essay contest to win a day on the set of Family Affair.  Shortly after sending it in, my family moved back to Los Angeles.  Next to meeting The Monkees, I wanted to meet Anissa Jones ("Buffy"), more than anything.  I didn't win the contest, but when summer ended, and I returned to a brand new school, Anissa came and sat down behind me in history class.  We shared dance classes together for the remainder of our secondary school years.  I found out in the past few years, that SHE was the presenter for The Monkees only EMMY.  Small world, eh?"
 
I've ordered my copy of the book, and if you order through Kathy's site,
she will personally autograph it for you.
