FacSmth Productions LLC

My name is Michael Courtney Woodard. I am forty four years old and disabled with Schizoaffective disorder. My mental illness lead to physical limitations. Being disabled has severely limited my personal and professional life. I have been disabled at least half my life. 

But its not just me. It's about the community at large. Many of us are disabled by illness and I believe the way to combat this (other than conventional means of medication or therapy) is to have a strong sense of self fulfillment. This involve free creative expression. Expressions such as playing games or having hobbies or creative outlets like writing or photography, or music, or painting. We are taught that we need endorphins to feel better in our lives. You can't just get that from a pill of some kind. 

In June of last year I registered a business LLC of my own with the goal to help my own small portion of the community. I have met many diverse people and helped them in my small ways with my limited means. A huge barrier from earning a little extra money on the side is that are income limitations for remaining eligible for Social Security Disability income. Thus we can only work part time. 

Employers often do not seriously want  to just have part time labor and are seeking full time employees. They will advertise part time opportunities but pressure applicants to work full time. I have always felt this to be dishonest. I seek to create my own production facility for providing remote work to my fellow disabled consumers. To have complete transparency. Members of the organization may do freelance projects online or teach others creative skills. To bring on a 21st Century Renaissance if you will. 

In the future I hope to have my own brick and mortar location for a combination of store and lounge. The location will be called "Fad N' Yo's" for people to gather at, drink soda or coffee, and hang out while expressing their own unique oneness. 

In mid July of last year, one of my good friends passed away. He was a veteran in his mid fifties. He had told me I was one of the few genuine friends he had in this world. I felt crushed by his death. I didn’t want another person die before my studio could be fully utilized. He enjoyed reading, drawing, and Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying. 

FacSmth Productions LLC is a production company & a talent agency for disabled creative types seeking freelance employment. Our clients are not allowed to earn a living on a full time basis because of income limitations with disability income. Many employers are not willing to hire for just part time hours. So we represent our members rather than allowing them to fall in the cracks. 

FacSmth Productions LLC is an organization inspired by creativity of every kind and employs a wide spectrum of personalities and talents. There is no limitation to life in the creative realm. We are a 21st century forward thinking company operating remotely online. We don't normally need a physical office. Our members conduct their affairs in the comfort of their own homes. Business is conducted in special chatrooms online.

Fad N’ Yo’s is the DBA of FacSmth Productions LLC of Pennsylvania. It has a Federal and State of PA Tax Id as well as a Employee Identification Number. Pennsylvania Business Entity Registration has been filed. 

The business will be a mobile endeavor most of the time with employees going to and from work as well as to outlying locations via a local transportation company. We will host social gatherings and parties for the disabled and homeless or charities. Proceeds will go into local non-profits and food banks.  There will also be a brick & mortar office/ storefront for keeping stock and a gaming lounge.

Gaming Lounge. 

The main lobby features many gaming consoles new and old like Wii U, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 3, PS4, Xbox series X, and computer games. Flatscreen monitors and consoles wil be placed behind a counter. Only store management will change discs as well as operate menus between games. Gaming chairs will be set up for players and controllers tethered to the arm rests to prevent theft. In a couple corners there will be specialty designed metaplay arcades machines. 

Alternative usages for the Lounge will be support groups held in a loose circle of folding chairs. If enough people drop in during the day to make a meeting feasible and there’s not much business going on otherwise, groups meet here. Gaming chairs are stored away in the largest office until later on. Cans of soda are sold at fifty cents per can and cups of coffee five cents per new cup (cups reused are not recharged for). “Virtual” groups will be hosted over a custom Discord channel.

A Note on Office Space

Merhandise for sale wil be stored in the appropriate offices. There are 3 offices. One for the owner/ founder where writing materials as well as computer components are stored such as game discs, PC storage medium, memory cards, and loose accessories. There will be production PCs here for doing technical development tasks. There will be four CyberPower brand Syber-C Pro 200 desktops for a total of $3116 base value with no monitors.

The secondary office is where the artists will design their creative endeavors. Fashion design supplies, cloth, paper, design desks, paints. Mannequins and sewing machines. Magazines and other collage materials or reference. Various costume designs. 

The third office will be designated the armory for sorage of outside laser tag activities (weather permitting). Basic exercise equipment will be placed here. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay sessions take place here. Live Action Roleplay gear as well. 

The largest office of the three will double for storing merchandise that doesn’t fit any specific category.
