An Open Letter to

An Open Letter to
Ellen Degeneres
Dear Ellen,
I have huge news: On April 12, 2008 I was waiting tables in Beverly Hills and struggling
to pay my rent. On April 13th I sold a TV pilot to FOX. As you know,
there is no such thing as an “over-night success”, and my story is no exception. But this
letter isn’t about me – it’s about my coach Loree Lynn, the founder of Dreamakers
Center for Aspiring Performing Artists, a Non Profit Organization.
Ellen, you have always been a champion for the “underdogs” in the world, just as Loree
Lynn has been a champion for aspiring artists who, without assistance, might never
express their artistic voice.
I came to Loree five years ago, depressed and emotionally bankrupt. My aspirations to
become a professional writer seemed wildly out of reach and unrealistic. What Loree
does through her Dreamakers Center is work holistically: defining an artist’s goals,
dissolving their creative stops through counseling and drug treatment, developing and
eventually marketing the artist.
Loree has been able to work MIRACLES in small spaces, most of the time out of her
home: turning garages into music rooms and extra bedrooms into rehearsal areas. But
what she really needs is funding to renovate an existing building or funding for a new
building to continue Dreamakers work on a larger scale.
Loree has “art in her blood”. She comes from a family of artists, her mother was an
actress and radio personality and her father was president of Chicago Musicians Union
and played with artists like Glenn Miller. At the age of ten, Loree was diagnosed with
polio and has spent the last fifty-five years rehabilitating artists from her wheelchair.
She’s been a teacher and coach for the last thirty years and has yet to reach her peak!
Loree has dedicated her life to the study of the Artistic Personality. Her book: “Fabric
and Anatomy of the Artist: The Significance of Art” (enclosed) illustrates Loree’s
passion and commitment to nurturing and supporting the artists of the world. She works
diligently to help artists express themselves at their highest personal level, believing: “ If
our planet does indeed need saving, it is the artist that will do it.”
Loree is on her way to having a DreaMaker’s Center in every major city in the country,
but support is needed to fulfill the vision to provide support, training, and resources to
struggling artists everywhere.
An appearance on your show would act as a launching pad to take DreaMakers to a
whole new level.
The DreaMakers Center is important, impactful and desperately needed. This program
serves not only artists but the community at large. Please take a moment to look at what
this amazing visionary has designed. It’s only the beginning. With the necessary funds to renovate or build a Dreamakers building in Los Angeles the expansion of a society
flourishing with dynamic, productive artists can begin immediately....
Artfully,
Amanda Pomeroy
TV Writer!
If you Look at the Website of DreaMakersperformingarts.org, you will understand why it is my favorite. It is a magical small center that changes lives in such a huge way, it is truly incredible.
Dreamakers center was founded by a veteran all-round entertainer who has discovered the actual nature of the artist and has written a book entitled "Fabric & Anatomy of the Artist/The Significance of Art." It is ground breaking. As if all she is and has done is not enough, as you will see when you look at this web, she has been in a wheelchair from Polio at age 10, and grew up performing from the chair.
She has accomplished so much; she serves as a constant reminder of all that is possible with talent and courage as a platform. She is founder and CEO and head instructor of DreaMakers and has designed a Unique All In One Building unlike anything in the world. On the website you can get an idea of its pioneering programming and design to develop and support aspiring Artists on their way up. She is magic, and the miracles she continually produces are representative of the magic-making essence of this woman and the organization she has brought into being.
It would be inspirational beyond words to have her on your program. Thanks for listening, I am a winning student in this center and would be happy to be a part in creating the miracle that this center get the exposure it so richly deserves!
