Discover how to turn your idea for a story, or someone else's, into a feature film. Contrary to popular belief, this does not require spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year film school.

FINALLY, you can get step-by-step instructions, reinforced by a series of easy-to-follow flow charts, to develop your idea into a story, get it financed, produced, turned into your first feature film, and distributed to theaters. Once this happens, Hollywood will come knocking on your door with bigger movie projects backed by major studio financing. Why spend thousands of dollars at a 4-year film school for a degree that is worthless in Hollywood? Why spend hundreds more completing a course that purposely leaves out pieces of the puzzle and will get you nowhere? Make a small one-time investment and learn all you need to know (reinforced with easy-to-follow step-by-step flow charts that will keep you on track) to make your first feature film and get it into movie theaters.

Exploring Our World
In all 8 volumes of the book, Exploring Our World: Meet Amazing Animals of the Seven Continents and the Caribbean Isles, where a child "MIRO" star enlightens us, through inquisitive questioning, on life in their world. Not only do they require knowledge of their ancestors/species lineage, name meaning, geographical orientation/habitats, physical characteristics, behavioral patterns, and their senses, they proudly claim their icon-ship as cultural symbols of the animal kingdom and as famous engineers, track stars, and superheroes. They promote world peace and diplomacy in their duties as "cultural ambassadors", following in the footsteps of Jamaica's musical group, Third World in their song titled "Reggae Ambassador". On a more serious note, coming out of the mouth of babes, child MIROs, with a big heart but little voice of their own, belt out a loud cry for help in a chorus of condemnation. To all who read the pages of these books, these child stars are imploring us, through their profiles, the question narratives, and the appendices, to take a stand on the plight of their kind. Animal/MIRO cruelty as noted in the perils and threats section, comes in the form of inhumane treatment from physical abuse and torture, exploitation as circus animals, movie actors, and forced fighting/bullfighters, human predation, pollution, loss of habitat, displacement, inflicting pains and suffering, and neglect as well as emotional abuse from caging that prevents social interaction with family and friends, deprivation and starvation from feeding them wrong foods, and hoarding, cross-breeding, overhunting, overtraining, and over-testing them. These child stars are staking a claim to their future in their birth countries, regions, and habitats that their ancestors lived in for millions of years and now they are being "evicted" from their own ancestral lands and pushed on the streets for vehicular traffic to run them over or for them to rummage in garbage bins for food, only to be shot dead for intruding on private property in sprawling luxurious housing complexes. They are urging humankind to fight on their behalf through legal advocacy, demonstrations, and peaceful protests for humane slaughtering techniques, ethical testing, and delivering compassionate speeches on the MIROs' behalf in a race against time.
