As the saying goes, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. While Alzheimer’s disease is no laughing matter, at HFC we firmly believe humor helps get us through the hard times. That’s why we invite you to learn and laugh with the pros on Wednesday, May 25 for our FREE, virtual comedy event, Care-tertainment.
Join caregiver-comedians @arlieta_hall_, @danikleinmodisett, and @jsmilescomedy for some some side-splitting laughs and leave feeling hopeful and equipped to find joy and laughter through caregiving. Hosted by the hilarious @hicaitlinreilly, you won’t want to miss out! Register today at the link in bio!
We are feeling sunny and funny

THANKS to YOU, our crowdfunding was a success!
We also have a lot of exciting updates that have come together in the past couple weeks:
With your support, our editor Donnie Seals has been hard at work putting together a rough cut of the film. In documentary, you don't go into production with a script like you do for a fiction film. That means that much of the story is crafted in the edit room. It's a fun puzzle to put together different scenes to tell the story and hit the right emotional notes. Sometimes you have to try it a lot of different ways, so it will take many drafts to reach the final cut of our film.
We were nominated by one of our advisors to be an Expanding Communities Fellow, which gives us weighted consideration for the 2022 Gotham Documentary Features Lab. (Expanding Communities is a new Gotham initiative dedicated to providing resources, a community space, and increased industry access to Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQIA+ creators and Individuals with Disabilities across film, TV and audio industries). This lab is for first-time documentary feature directors in post-production and offers creative feedback as well as strategic mentorship. Keep your fingers crossed for us — we’ll be notified later this month if we got into the lab.

We have also connected with HFC, formerly Hilarity for Charity, founded by Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen. We share a similar goal to bring light and laughter to the caregiving experience. We will partner with them to bring tools to the caregiving community and Arlieta will be bringing the stand up comedy laughs to their upcoming May Care-tertainment event.
We are celebrating the life of my father Milton Hall Sr. This Saturday!
In lieu of flowers we are asking that any donations go to
“Finding your laughter” -
This film project is a tribute to my father and the many ways we found laughter, forgiveness, and love together.

With sadness I wanted to inform you all of the passing of my father, Milton Hall Sr on February 17th. We’re having a memorial for my father on March 12th from 1-3 CST at Leaks & Son’s Funeral Home in County Club Hills, IL (18400 Pulaski Rd).
My dad lived a full and impactful life. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, educator, Mason, member of Alpha Phi Alpha, and an avid golfer. We all knew the day was coming but it still hurts. As a family we are processing and, as his daughter, I’m heartbroken. My daddy was my everything. So forgive me for my recent lack of communication!!!
I see you all have been donating to the film and I sincerely appreciate the support and am very thankful to the Finding Your Laughter Team for holding it down while I take time to process. I also apologize if you bought a ticket to a show and I wasn’t there—this happened very fast and I just needed time. Last, but the realest, I appreciate everyone reaching out sending love to myself and my family! Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts!
Happy Valentine's Day from the Finding Your Laughter team. Our crowdfunding campaign is 10% funded! Can you spread some love today and donate, follow and share the page?
