About All Aces Media
As filmmakers, Andy and Blake are always looking for interesting stories to tell and Tim’s story certainly qualifies as interesting, actually amazing. When they first talked to Tim, he made it very clear that he wanted to leave behind a legacy and they saw this as a very good opportunity to do so. So Tim was willing and Andy and Blake had the capability but they started to wonder what they had gotten themselves into. First of all, he’s a friend and it’s going to be tough watching the battle he has ahead of him much less be filming said battle. Second, Blake can’t even watch Extreme Home Makeover without crying and now Andy and Blake have to shoot and edit some very heavy content. Tim’s story is probably one of the most important things they’ll ever do.

All Aces Media would like to thank Tim and Kaylan for the opportunity to work on this project. It has truly been inspiring to see the strength and the courage that they both have as they face these uncertain times in their lives. To know Tim is to love him. It’s no coincidence that Tim has an army of friends willing to help him through all this. He’s obviously done something right in his life. As amazing as Tim is, Kaylan’s love for Tim, her willingness to face these difficult times with him and her unselfish devotion to him really is beautiful. Not sure you can say Tim’s lucky but he certainly hit the jackpot when he met Kaylan.

It is All Aces Media’s hope that people will watch this series and have a new appreciation for the important things in life. Love, good friends and compassion for one another. It is their honor and privilege to be working on this series and not only is it Tim’s legacy, it is now their legacy as well.
