As soon as we got the call, we were off! We’d heard about Billy Bob Thornton’s experiences with dyslexia and knew it was a great testimony we’d love to add to our story. Dyslexics compensate for their weaknesses by excelling in other areas, and Billy Bob is no exception.
Billy Bob Thornton won an Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium for Sling Blade!
A successful actor, musician, writer and director, his many talents have made him the household name he is today. While relating memories about the frustrations of schooling and how dyslexics have an entirely different experience, he told us about the people in his life who encouraged him and helped him reach the place he is today. His mom and his high school drama teacher's support played largely into Billy Bob's success outside of school.
Going from a time that people misunderstood dyslexia and just thought he was “slow,” Billy Bob is quick to identify the changes that need to happen in our educational system so we don’t leave these unique minds aside. “There’s a novel idea,” he says. “Make school interesting.” As we talked to him, we found he shared a lot of the same thoughts. In a sense dyslexia’s difficulties can be exhausting for students and adults who have it, and so it’s easier to process information in a way that doesn’t mean forcing yourself to read it off a paper.
Billy Bob showing us pictures from his youth.
Sarah Joy Brown agreed. An 3 time Emmy award winning actress, she told us how she could memorize dozens of pages in a extremely short amount of time for General Hospital, but when asked to read something off a teleprompter or on the fly, she knew herself enough to decline.
By discovering she had a gift for memorization, she was able to move quickly from studying to performing, and by understanding “the way my brain didn’t learn, [she] found other ways to learn.”
We’re so excited to have both of these accomplished professionals participating in “Dislecksia: The Movie”! As we reach the end of the project, we’ve found that others who are speaking out are saying what we’ve been learning all along; dyslexics can succeed despite their differences, and others need to understand the struggles they face!
As Billy Bob Thornton and Sarah Joy Brown have joined the project, a recognizable face of dyslexia is emerging; but if you’re the parent of a dyslexic, you already know what that face looks like! Please help us represent their needs to the world. Keep spreading the word about “Dislecksia: The Movie. This is the time to make this film a reality. Get in touch with us to learn more!
We’re just trying to help kids read, and we need your help to do that. Although donations are appreciated, consider what else you can do to advance the cause of dyslexics. Can you put us in touch with your schools and community to set up panel discussions, speaking engagements, and sneak peek previews of sections of the rough cut? Maybe you can host a fundraiser? If you haven’t, tell your friends and family!
P.S. Despite Dyslexia is in the running in the Pepsi Refresh Project for a 250K grant. If they win, they will donate $10,000 to Dislecksia: The Movie. You can vote for them at www.refresheverything.com/despite dyslexia, by texting 101667 to 73774, or by voting through the Pepsi Refresh Voting App on Facebook.

Soulmates become Angels
Some of our greatest supporters are very near and dear to us. Harvey Hubbell IV is one of those people. He and his wife, Ann, wanted to help their son’s film reach completion. During the project, Mr. Hubbell came to recognize the traits of dyslexia, and how his struggles in school mirrored those of his son. When he saw the early cuts of the film, he knew it had to be made and shared with others.
They set about putting aside funds to help finish the movie. But February 16th of this year, his life ended abruptly. While still grieving, Harvey’s step-mother Ann passed away less than 3 months later. After a long and rich life and 22 years of happy marriage, both passed away this spring, leaving family members remembering and those touched by their lives fondly reminiscing.
Mr. Hubbell’s wish to see his son’s work finished is not forgotten though; a week before Ann passed away, the money they put away for the movie was provided for the production. Although nothing could replace them, their memory lives on with their wish to see the film made.
Family was very important to Harvey and Ann, and they cherished the time they had together. Because of the genetic component of dyslexia, it’s possible they felt Dislecksia: The Movie was an important way to show love for their family, and others, by leaving a legacy that spoke to children with learning differences, and the people who care about them.
Whether or not dyslexia runs in your family, it’s not too hard to find a few degrees of separation between yourself and estimated one of the one in seven in the world with dyslexia (Mayo Clinic). With your support and donation, we can raise awareness about the issues they face, and provide a lasting influence that will change the way people view dyslexia.
We’ll never forget Harvey and Ann Hubbell, two soulmates who became angels and left us a legacy we’ll always remember.
As many of you know, Harvey’s main reason for existing on Facebook is to spread dyslexia awareness and promote our film, “Dislecksia: The Movie.” However, Harvey recently started using Facebook in order to connect with the 6,000 descendants of Richard Hubball (Hubbell, Hubble, Hubbel, Hubel, Huble) in North America. Richard settled in Connecticut from Rock, Worcestershire, England in the early 1600's. Harvey’s quest to unite with his relatives led him to Stephen Hubbell, who graciously donated to “Dislecksia: The Movie” and is our May Donor of the Month! Here is Stephen’s story:
“Wow! To be selected as your Donor of the Month is not something I ever expected. Since one of my cousins invited me to donate to this cause and I felt there is a genuine need that others might easily overlook, I felt compelled to make a donation. You see, I am an ordinary fellow who earned my first college degree at the age of 47. I went on to receive my B.A. in Christian Ministries two years later and my M.Ed. as I approached the age of 57.
My problems as a student earlier in my life cannot be blamed upon dyslexia, but rather they were due to my lack of self-discipline and motivation. As an educator, I came into contact with many children with the very same problems as I had, and I could relate to their dilemma. This allowed me to be able to escort them to a much higher plane and escape their prisons.
Periodically, I would encounter a child with dyslexia who needed more help than I could offer. Knowing firsthand that their problems had a root beyond laziness and lack of motivation, I was able to convince their teachers and their parents to seek help from professionals who were trained to deal with their learning difference. Thankfully, most of these young people are now on track to be successful in their adult lives.”
Stephen, Captured Time is extremely grateful for your donation. Thank you. We will get across the finish line, and we couldn’t have done it without your help! We also want to acknowledge Radcliffe Creek School in Chestertown, MD for bringing Harvey to their school to speak to their students about the bright side of dyslexia and how “Dislecksia: The Movie” will spread awareness across the globe.
These bright students were eager to interact with Harvey and show off their school’s multisensory approach to learning. Harvey and Aimee would like to spend a special thank you to Lisa Taylor’s class for their heartfelt letters of appreciation. In association with Radcliffe Creek School’s Speaker Series, during his time in Maryland, Harvey also spoke at Washington College to the community about “Dislecksia: The Movie,” and why the need for awareness and activism is so great.
Harvey made sure everyone heard his message of dyslexia awareness during the visit.

If only these types of resources and schools were available to every child. With your support, it can happen. “Dislecksia: The Movie” will be the vehicle we need to get this information out to the parents, schools, and policymakers who need it. We hope to finish this film by this summer; can you help us? Make a donation today, and let’s teach these kids to read.

Donor of the Month
Phyllis on the Newtown Screening's Panel
Phyllis Orlowski is our donor of the month.
"As a mother, teacher and now a dyslexia advocate, I can't think of a better cause than contributing to the completion of Harvey's documentary, 'Dislecksia: The Movie.' Public awareness is desperately needed for the dyslexic community!
"My journey began when my son, Desi, was in first grade and struggled terribly in school. I knew something was wrong because he was so smart, and I didn't understand why he struggled to learn to read.
My two other sons didn't have problems in school, so when the teachers told my son to keep on trying, we believed them. I got my masters in reading to teach my son myself, but that training did not work either. Six years later with almost no progress in reading, we learned Desi was dyslexic and the teachers’ efforts, although well intentioned, were not working. Trying harder was not the answer: small group classes, explicit instruction, with Orton Gillingham teaching methods and technology that is dyslexic friendly, are the solution.
Phyllis, Desi and Guinevere Eden, President of the IDA
"Desi attended the Gow School for dyslexic boys in South Wales, New York in 7th and 8th grade and progressed tremendously. The class that made the biggest difference for him was an Orton-Gillingham based class called "Reconstructive Language." There are not many schools that specialize in teaching dyslexics, and they are very costly. Desi was extremely fortunate to attend the Gow School.
"As a teacher, I see dyslexic students in my classes everyday. Most feel they are not very smart because they don't score well on tests like their peers do. They get no support in public school, at least not in mine; they have to figure it out on their own. Many are very discouraged and feel that their career options are limited because of their school abilities. This is very sad, and unfair.
Desi (center) & Two Friends at Gow
"Finally, as an advocate, I am in litigation with my son's public district to get tuition reimbursement for the Gow School, and possibly, get Desi back there. The battle has been going on for three years and is now at the state federal level. It’s expensive. With what we have spent in litigation, along with the school's legal expenses, many teachers could have been trained in Orton-Gillingham methods and employed by the school to help many dyslexic students. They key to advocating is to NOT back down for what you know is right.
"Don't give up. All of you dyslexics, and dyslexic supporters, your turn is coming! Linear thinkers, watch out! Harvey, best wishes to you and your documentary, and thank you, Eric, Aimee, and all of your staff for your hard work!"

Donor of the Month
December’s donor of the month is Harvey's old friend, Sonja Jackson-Moreau. Sonja has donated both time and money to "Dislecksia: The Movie."
"I've been a friend of Harvey's for a few years, but I was unaware that he had dyslexia, or really what dyslexia was for that matter. I'd always thought of it as some strange habit of seeing numbers and letters jumbled or backwards. After learning about his new project, "Dislecksia: The Movie," and the fact that Harvey himself was dyslexic, I became more interested in what exactly dyslexia was all about."
"I donated to the film and also volunteered my time to assist at a rough-cut pre-screening of the movie in Newtown, CT. Afterwards, I listened to the panel of speakers, which included parents of dyslexic children, children with dyslexia, and experts discussing the condition and alternative teaching methods. I felt enlightened, and became an advocate. I wanted to share what I had learned through Harvey's movie and the little bit of research I’d done on my own."
Sonja, Harvey, and Sonja's husband, Tom
"Since then, I’ve discovered that there are many people within my immediate circle of friends and work peers that are dyslexic or know someone with dyslexia. By introducing the movie and its website to everyone I know, I try to bring about awareness. I want people to realize and spread the message that dyslexia doesn't have to be ignored or silenced by the "normal" folks out there. Dyslexia is a daily reality for all those who are coping with their or their loved ones’ condition."
Thank you very much, Sonja, for your generous donation and for actively advocating for dyslexics and our film. Please help make this important project a reality by contributing here. If you would like to learn ways to donate your time to our cause, contact us at 860-567-0675. We would like to wish all of our supporters and their families happy holidays. See you in 2010!

Kendrick Meek for U.S. Senate
I wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine who I have had the pleasure to meet and work with. This individual appeared in our production of "Dislecksia: The Movie" and has been my friend ever since. He is outspoken about his dyslexia and is an inspiration to all of us, especially to our young people.
Congressman Kendrick Meek is a Democrat from South Florida who is running for the U.S. Senate. He is a true public servant who has served his state as Trooper in the Florida Highway Patrol, as a state legislator and member of Congress. Kendrick led the movement in Florida to amend the constitution to ensure smaller class sizes in the state's public schools. With the support of millions of Florida voters, the measure passed, and smaller class sizes are now the law of the land in Florida.
Can you imagine if a fellow dyslexic were elected to the U.S. Senate and we had our very own advocate in Washington working on our behalf on this critical issue?
With road blocks continually put up, progress is slow and what we need is to have people like Kendrick Meek on our side. I am confident that Kendrick can win this election, but I'm just as sure that he needs your help in order to do it.
Let's elect one of our own to the U.S. Senate and put a real champion for education in a position to affect positive change for all of us.

Joey Pants and "Dislecksia: The Movie"
Actor... activist... dyslexic... comedian... and the voice of "Dislecksia: The Movie!" Captured Time Productions is excited and honored to announce that Joe Pantoliano (Joey Pants) has agreed to record Pop Quiz voiceovers for "Dislecksia: The Movie." We are also hoping to have the honor and privilege of interviewing him and including some of his story in our film. Last week, the Captured Time crew was getting ready to close shop for the holiday weekend, when one final call snuck in. Although the crew was excited at spending a long weekend with friends and family, an even more exciting prospect was in store for them on the other end of the phone: Joey Pantoliano!
Just as “Dislecksia: The Movie” will spread awareness about dyslexia and help dyslexics to stop suffering unnecessarily within the educational system, Joey Pantoliano has made it his mission to is to remove the stigma attached to brain dis-ease through education and the breaking down of societal barriers. He created the organization No Kidding, Me Too! (NKM2) in order to empower those with brain dis-ease to admit their illness, seek treatment, and become even greater members of society. NKM2 the documentary recently premiered in NYC and Minneapolis, and the organization is working to raise funds in order to have the documentary shown on PBS. For a donation of $50.00 or more, you will receive a copy of NKM2 and you’ll help bring them closer to their goal.
Much like Captured Time will go on the road once the film is finished to promote the “Dislecksia: The Movie” and advocate for dyslexics, Joey Pantoliano and NKM2 are on the road, bringing brain dis-ease, out into the open, creating a safe environment for those affected to speak about their experiences.
Joey recently traveled to Iraq to screen his documentary with American soldiers, and to start a discussion regarding our soldiers’ struggles with brain dis-ease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injuries; controversial topics, and one that few would have the strength and courage to address, but Joey possesses a candor and stance that made it possible, and positive, for everyone involved.
The Captured Time crew just finished viewing NKM2, and we felt that there was a strong connection between “Dislecksia: The Movie” and “No Kidding, Me Too!” We are all very excited at having the support of Joey Pantoliano and working together in the very near future.
This great success brings us one step closer to finishing the film, but we are still in need of your generous support. Please keep spreading the word about “Dislecksia: The Movie,” and if you haven’t already, please check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and our blog. There is no better time than now to make this film a reality. Make a donation and help us finish this film!

In Search of Finishing Funds: Annual IDA Conference 2009
These past few weeks have been busy ones for the Captured Time crew; from recording new voice overs to double-checking the fonts in the film (over 100!). The film is steadily getting closer to being finished! Harvey and Aimee, our Production Office Coordinator, recently attended the 2009 IDA Conference in Orlando, FL. Cross-marketing was the name of the game as they walked through rows of vendors, making new connections and cementing old ones. Harvey and Aimee spoke with dozens of people about marketing their products/services along with our film, as a way to recieve the finishing funds we so desperately need.
Do you or someone you know have a product or service that could benefit from more awareness? Contact Captured Time Productions at (860)-567-0675; we look forward to speaking with you about cross-promotion! As always, donations are most appreciated and even the smallest amount helps.

Completing the Most Comprehensive Documentary on Dyslexia:
On Friday, November 6th Harvey will be the guest speaker at the Central Ohio Branch of the International Dyslexia Association’s Second Annual Fall Fundraiser: “Imagine! The Magic of the 20’s.” Complete with dinner, dancing and music, this promises to be a wonderful evening. Hosted by Kurt Ludlow of Columbus’ WBNS-IOTV, the event also features a silent auction with incredible prizes. The fundraiser is being held in downtown Columbus, Ohio, at the historic Columbus Athenaeum. We are very excited to be a part of this event.
Harvey has been invited to discuss “Dislecksia: The Movie” and the film’s mission to eliminate illiteracy. Like Captured Time, the Central Ohio Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (COBIDA) is working hard to spread awareness of dyslexia. They provide programs for affected families, understanding that early intervention can have a profound effect on individuals with learning differences. This is the type of advocacy and innovation in education that our film will promote and unite across the country and abroad.
We are constantly working with other dyslexia activists and organizations towards our shared goal. Connections have been made nationwide and around the world. This movie must be available to as large an audience as possible in order to enact the greatest change in our educational systems; however, without a finished film this is impossible! Please, help us finish the movie by donating today. And, if you live in the Columbus area we hope you’ll make it out to the COBIDA Fundraiser! To learn more and to purchase tickets, visit COBIDA’s event page.

Donor of the Month
Kathy Root
October 09' Donor of the Month
The donor of the month for October is Kathy Root. Kathy is the founder of Dyslexia RX, LLC which is located in Centennial, Colorado. In her own words she states, "for the last five years, I have been testing and tutoring children and adults with dyslexia. It is my passion. I began researching dyslexia several years ago when I noticed that the struggling readers I was working with, as a public school educator, were demonstrating similar and unusual patterns of struggle. They were not improving with traditional best practices in reading instruction.
It is a relief on my part to finally be able to accurately diagnose these students with a very real language processing disorder, dyslexia.
It's a joy knowing that, at last, we have a sure way to bring those students up to grade level in reading, writing, and spelling, using best practices --supported by mountains of research -- for people with dyslexia. I can't wait for your movie to be released. There is an alarming amount of misinformation and lack of knowledge about dyslexia.
Click the picture for more information!
I'm hoping that your film will bring awareness to a wider spectrum of people (including educators) and facilitate change." All of us here at Captured Time would like to thank you, Kathy, for your contribution and for being a generous donor to our cause!

Cap Time Moves To The Conservancy
Harvey and the crew have relocated to a beautiful home on Duck Pond Road in Litchfield - our third move in 17 months! After two days of muscle flexing and moving trucks, all of our equipment and supplies have been safely transported from the lake. With computers wired, desks arranged, and coffee brewing, we've gotten back to work without a moment's delay.
We are very grateful to everyone in the Captured Time family who put in the extra time and effort to make the move go so smoothly. We haven't missed a beat, and are gathering all the final elements needed for the up-res. With the final steps towards a final picture in motion, finishing funds are as crucial as ever. Please help make "Dislecksia: The Movie" possible by donating today!
Although Captured Time had moved about recently, our 'preditor' (producer-editor) Eric and our graphic designer Sean are rooted in place, working hard on the film. Eric is cutting in the final pieces of stock footage, while Sean is busy putting the finishing touches on our 'dyslexic-celebrity' montage.
In other non-moving news, Harvey recently traveled to Infinity Hall to see the Bacon Brothers in concert. Michael Bacon, our composer, will soon be working on a "brain-theme" for "Dislecksia: The Movie". Our fearless producers, Harvey and Eric, are trying to convince Michael to let us film him in his studio in New York City. Then, not only will we have his brilliant score in the film, but also be able to catch his creative genius at work.
Keep a close eye on our website in the next few months for more information about our composer! As always, thank you for supporting "Dislecksia: The Movie" and our mission to teach kids how to read. Your donation, of any amount, is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Donor of the Month
Paul A. Travaglione
September 09' Donor of the Month
The donor of the month for September is Paul Travaglione. Paul has struggled with dyslexia his entire life and believes that it is time for the world to approach dyslexia differently. "I am doing my best to reshape my beliefs about Dyslexia. I believe your movie will help." With the way the education system is set up now, people with dyslexia do not recieve the support that they need. Paul believes that this is because of a lack of knowledge about dyslexia in society. "I have suffered academic and social abuse by buying into the view that they (society) know the truth. I feel that the truth is that dyslexia makes me different. Others have differences too but they are not as lucky as us (dyslexics) because our differences are always right in front of us." Paul is able to see the benefits that dyslexia has offered him. "God has given me a gift that I have been trying to bury, but now I will look for the strengths it gives me and work to improve my weaknesses."
The goal of the film is to inform people about dyslexia and to shed a positive light on the condition. Paul has fifteen years of experience in the automotive industry and has even given back by working in the secondary education field. This film will spread awareness across the globe and allow dyslexics to change their view on their condition, as Paul has done. We are endlessly grateful to have Paul's support. This film would not be possible without the help of people like him. Paul has benevolently donated money and support. He has bought a button and a magnet from our store (pictured on the right), for which we are very grateful. Every little bit helps, so we graciously thank Paul for his contribution.

If you want up to date information about Dyslexia: The Movie, or just want to find out what is going on with Harvey and the crew, check out our new blog.
Captured Time is currently at work on Dislecksia:
The Movie, a documentary that presents both the latest science and experiences; sometimes excruciating,
sometimes hilarious... always dyslexic.
(To guarantee that this will indeed be a documentary with a difference,
the staff of Dislecksia: The Movie includes a producer, a writer,
and a cameraperson who are dyslexic and an editor who loves being around them.)
