Willis says he met Mikovits, who has a high profile in the anti-vaccine movement, a year ago through mutual friends and was impressed by her.

On publicly available financial documents, the foundation listed among its unpaid board of directors spiritual leader Michael Beckwith, who heads the nondenominational Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, and prominent yoga teacher and author Shiva Rea.But reached by The Times, Rea said that while she considers Willis and Salamanca friends and served as an emcee at the 2008 Elevate Film Festival, she was unaware her name had been used in connection with their foundation.
In the wake of the release of “Plandemic,” Willis says he was contacted by -- and rebuffed -- an independent producer who has made projects with HBO, Netflix and Amazon about a potential deal to try to release the project on one of those platforms. Individuals familiar with the acquisition pipeline at HBO and Amazon said that the companies had not expressed interest in the film.At this point, Willis says he is unsure if he will follow through with a full-length “Plandemic” documentary.
