Corporate Sponsorship Information:

Feel free to browse these pages, it is mostly an area for musings about potential sponsorship or donors and philanthropic organizations to get information and ideas.  If you are interested in sponsoring this expedition or becoming an advertiser please contact us at:

David Williams
dwilliams@midnightproductions.info
Midnight Productions LLC
619.517.2719

We are currently seeking sponsorships and charitable donations for expeditions filmed in HD which will be posted daily from the trail along with the personal journals of the participants:

We have gained some interest and have submitted treatments to several major networks.

All dailies will be on YouTube, MySpace Video and IFilm. Blogs and Diaries will be posted weekly. If your company is a brand with excellent products, we think that the nature of our expedition and the exposure to a worldwide audience would be a great opportunity for you to further expose your product to millions of people in practical application.  Any financial donations or profits will be used solely to fund future expeditions or grant funds to other similar expeditions.  There is no administrative overhead, no officers of this corporation are compensated beyond what is absolutely necessary for the expeditions (food, permits, equipment, etc.)

Advertiser Ideas:

All  three brothers are comfortable in film and radio and would be available to do product endorsement as well as advertising commercials for any sponsors.  We are only interested in endorsing sponsors with products we are comfortable using and find useful for our expeditions.  We won't endorse a product we don't like just because we are paid for it.

Verizon Wireless:

While the three brothers are training for their hikes, we are constantly calling and texting each other:
They can show scenes of David out hiking in California, calling Doug who is sitting at his desk, while Mike (the youngest is sitting on a couch at a frat party)
Or I’m at some backstage party at 3 am and Mike and Doug are out hiking at 6 am on the east coast
Meanwhile we are pretending to each other that we are going to be hiking at the same time.  (making hiking noises) like Doug has a trekking pole at his desk and he keeps breathing heavy and tapping the trekking pole on the concrete, drinking from a bottle while I’m actually on the trail,   Mike talks to me while he’s walking up his stairs at college with a backpack: stuff like that
Or we are all hiking out in the mountains simultaneously but in different locations and all on a conference call
Or when we are on the trail we are uploading youtube dailies with our Verizon Wireless broadband cards

Solar Power applications:

Companies can demonstrate remote applications of solar devices and the emphasis on the viability of green technology in remote areas.

Water Purification issues vs water treatment:

We are using UV light to purify water instead of harmful chemicals or disposable filters.  These UV light pens are powered by solar power and will reduce the impact on our bodies from chemicals as well as the environment by throwing away disposable filtration systems.

Clothing or equipment companies:  "BrotherPROOF" www.brotherproof.com

Three brothers wear out equipment or clothing by fighting and rough-housing rather than by hiking or climbing.  We demonstrate how we use stuff for it's "unintended purposes" yet it still holds up.

Hypothetical Scenario:: The brothers are the “field research team”  for Columbia's owner: Gert Boyle commercials instead of trying them on her son,, she send us out on the Appalachian trail and we come back with ripped (or unripped) stuff but it’s not from hiking, it’s from getting into fights and rough-housing.  We can show clips of us bringing back broken gear and looking all innocent and then cut to a scene where we're using it for some crazy purpose. When it doesn't break, we call the product "brotherPROOF"

We also own the domain name for www.BrotherPROOF.com
