Not having had “the conversation”, I can’t bring anything to your project.  However, what I can do is tell people about what you are doing, and as they say, “word-of-mouth” is the best advertising.  You will be doing a great service for so many people with your film, and book.   Over the years, while we work in our community to spread awareness about heart disease, and cancer; I’ve noticed that people do not want to be confronted about these issues, UNTIL someone that they love is lost, and then, they, too, reach out.  It is so much better for everyone to be proactive, and perhaps save a life.  People don’t think about HIV as much, now, because they have read that many celebrities like Elton John and Elizabeth Taylor, and so many others, got involved.  Also, you read about people living normal lives now, who have HIV, because of great results with the research.   It is good to know that someone is going to tell this story in a very human format, to make the world aware that the suffering continues; and that WAKE CALLS like “the conversation”, can be given to anyone, anywhere, on any given day.
