About the Production:
always returning to Without You. Not only is it an amazing script and a
touching story, but we started to realize that this was a film that
could really make a difference in people’s lives. After doing the
research into lung cancer, its effects, and the staggering statistics
surrounding this terrible disease, we realized that this film could be a
whole lot more than just another movie. We want this film to be used
to raise lung cancer awareness and eventually raise funds for lung
cancer research.” — Ronald Brooks
