Dr. Ponseti article/bio for news exposure

[Guest guest]

May I please have the best piece possible that you know of for Dr.

Ponseti? It has to be as short as possible but include as much detail

as possible about his career, work, especially the club foot. I was

waiting on to stabilize in the business before I make any demands

on the agents. Unfortunately I am still not too close enough to any

producers but I think I have a good shot.

I will ask 's agents to connect me with the appropriate producers

but I have to be able to sell the story. The agents and producers are

extremely busy and rude so I have to have quick and strong presentation

(e-mail first). And is still just a beginner so they are not too

attached to him yet. I was hoping for him to hit on a few big jobs and

then I can ask whatever I want to but looks like he is still a mama's

boy and that's hurting him at the finale. We have a big one this

afternoon - say a prayer and wish luck. He starts preschool next

week so his behavior will change but how can I be sure that Dr. Ponseti

can wait another year. Getting in the commercial's business is a

way for me to get closer to the media and try to get Dr. Ponseti

involved. It's just that I am working full time and can not compete too

well with the mom's that are devoted to this. And 's attachment

to me is not helping. It's not moving as fast as expected. But I think

he has weight - he is in demand - so I am hoping the agents will be

interested to listen to what we want to do.

I am not a good sales person so any help will be appreciated.

Re: New show @NBC

another wish .. could be a news story on a major NBC show about Dr.

Ponseti and the method.. that has been so hard to make happen.. we

all have tried and tried and tried in vain.. even though it's such a

remarkable story.

and I know that Dr. P has been disappointed when stories by the NY

Times or other major news organizations haven't materialized...

because that's his wish, to spread the word..

Thank you!

got the job yesterday! PediaCare commercial - shoots Aug 30-31.

They do have a back up so I hope for to behave and do good so

that he is the one in the actual commercial. If it all goes well, he

will have much more weight after the 31st and will be easier to talk to

his agents! Hey, maybe he felt the need of urgency also!

How did you get your child into advertising? We'd love to try that

with our little guy since he's so agreeable and free with his smiles

but have no idea where to start.

I figure it is a great way to save for college!

Thank you guys all for the support. is in a " veil " right now.

Ah, that's such a tension. They have to decide to lift the veil on him.

I guess anything can happen between now and the veil decision. Need a

prayer!

If you would like to get involved in the entertainment industry and the

child is just below or about age 3, you'll need to get a few good

pictures and create a collage. The collage is an arrangement on a

8/12-11 sheet of thicker paper. The collage will eventually have the

data of the child and that of the agent. You can just get a few nice

photos and send them with a letter describing the child to agents in the

area. Then if the agents like the pictures, they call you and set up an

interview with the child - talk or not. The want to see how the child

reacts. Then a loooot of driving to calls. It's hard work and the

mom's either work part time or do not work at all. There is also no

guarantee. It could be just a lot of driving and nothing for a long

while, or a lot of jobs. The turnaround is huge. enjoys it very

much and having as a goal to help Dr. Ponseti keeps me going.

As for saving for college, it's possible if you are dedicated for years

and the child is very successful. Plus you should sign up for film

maybe also. Then you have to be able to take off to a sight for days,

weeks, months.... That's where the money is. I am just going for

commercial and print for . That's not much but it's fun for

and I get the media connection.

A little boy down the street, he's probalby like 8 does commercials

and movies. I'm not sure how they got in to it though. He always

tells us how he was in the movie The Villiage (think it was a horror

maybe) and shoprite commercials, etc. I'll have to find out how he

got his start etc.
