I was asked to participate in this campaign by the Bounce Back Film Campaign as part of a first-of-its-kind blogger initiative. I will cover the making of the movie from fundraising to premiere throughout the next year. I am being provided promotional material, giveaways and exclusive interviews but this is not a paid post. As always, my opinions are my own.
Well I have something new and different for you all but I am so super excited to be a part of this campaign. Shemar Moore is producing and acting in a movie called The Bounce Back. He wants to produce this movie without the big Hollywood production company and that is where we all come in. I, along with other special bloggers, have been asked to help raise funds for the production of The Bounce Back. This is the first of its kind opportunity for both the bloggers and Shemar Moore. Let me tell you about the movie straight from Mr. Moore himself:
“The Bounce Back” is a heartfelt romantic comedy about finding the courage to love after love has let you down.
When I read “The Bounce Back” – that very same issue was at the core of the script and the character, Matthew Taylor. I saw a lot of myself in Matthew, although I’ve never written a book (but I’m thinking about it now, hint, hint). I felt a kindred spirit to what Matthew was going through and my own life. Matthew loses his wife, his first love and after a short recovery creates a best-selling book and a system of survival in order to shield himself from the pain. He throws himself into a year-long speaking tour.
That system of survival; his book and speaking tour, keeps him from falling in love again when he meets the perfect girl, the beautiful and zany Kristin Moreland. Matthew realizes that he has to renounce his book and the world he has created around it in order to take the big unknown plunge of letting himself fall in love again.
I think there is a wonderful poetry to that, the idea of risking it all for love. And I feel, in my heart, that is why we’re here on this planet. To love. After I put down the screenplay, “The Bounce Back,” I knew I had to make this movie simply because I believe in love all the way down to the fabric of my being.
I will be spreading the word about the movie all the way to the to red carpet walk! Not to mention there will be lots of insider scoops! Do you want to help Shemar Moore make his movie?

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I think this is such a neat way to go about getting a movie made. It is obvious he really believes in the movie if he willing to do so much hard work to get it made. I used to love him when he was on Young & the Restless and I really like him on Criminal Minds.
