Should be easy to get support from Hollywood on this one, with all those old movies filmed in those hills. No shortage of stars looking for a good cause to promote.
Is the Lone Pine film museum involved? They seem to have connections to the families and descendents of those old actors. Might be a good place to start rolling out the red carpet.
SN, I do not know if this was just rumor, but I was told this summer when I was there that this past weekend's annual Lone Pine festival would be the last, in part because; attendance is falling, original movie people are dead, newer Hollywood types will not show up just for PR but only if they get paid.
