Richard R. Roller
Dear Prospective Ally,
Welcome to our Tour. From here now, or later from the MENU above, I invite you to consider our three PARTICIPATION options and/or learn about WHY US? Also, if you’ve not already done so, I think you’d enjoy watching either of our completed video projects that follow.
‘Java Time Online’s 1st Evening with Friends’ is our 60-minute pilot episode for an intended ongoing series of web-based variety shows that blend the experience of our ancient fireside past, when we came together to commune with and entertain each other, along with the possibilities of the world-wide-web-of-us.
The series is intended as a calling card for our Company, it’s writers and our wide range of projects and, it might attract sponsors with embedded advertising. With the proliferation of Zoom, and other similar platforms, the shows could become – ‘Java Time Online’s Evenings with Friends Around the World.’
‘Between the Cracks,’ our 70-minute documentary, will take you into the world and bitter-sweet lives of a rag-tag community of ‘houseless’ people, functioning & dysfunctioning together under a bridge in the San Fernando Valley in the City of ‘Lost Angels.’
Having once been homeless myself, many years ago in Venice Beach, the Bridge People trusted me and my small production team to become a part of their world and tell their stories.
We are a hybrid entity seeking to embody the best of for-profit and not-for-profit organizational models. If you become inspired by what follows, and would like to discuss becoming one of our Profit Sharing Patrons and/or an Active Participant, email me and we’ll arrange a time to talk.
Life is a Co-Creation!

Our Wheel of Good Fortune
Historically, the pyramid, with its top-down structure, has represented the corporate business model with the CEO/President in an overseeing and controlling position at the top of the pyramid.
Our business model is a Wheel, at the center of which is the Head Writer/CEO, initially, our founder, Richard. The spokes will connect the Head Writer with each of the primary departments such as: Administration – Tech – Research – Marketing – Public Relations – Social Media and Legal, etc.
The Wheel model makes communication more inclusive and establishes a stronger sense of fellowship among the writers and support team members.
