THE MEMOIRS OF SUMMER RAY

I love when I start to see bits and pieces of how the film will actually look, not like the Proof of Concept video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlIcfvMQxUI But the actual film. Although I am very proud of the POC, I know the pilot will be extraordinary and I cannot wait. Sure there are those who say, “It will never happen.” Or, “It’s impossible!” But it is not impossible to God and I know it will happen in His timing. I have said that all along. But is it hard to live by this kind of faith? Yes! Sometimes, I allow my thoughts to fall head first into the pit of nothingness,

especially dealing with the kinds of health issues I have been dealing with. When we do not feel well, when we are struggling, it is so easy to fall in this trap. It is scary because many people stay there – they give up! I have had to overcome my own feelings of fatigue. But when God gives what is described as, God winks, “an event or personal experience, often identified as coincidence, so astonishing that it is seen as a sign of divine intervention, especially when perceived as the answer to a prayer,” I know He is sending me some much needed encouragement to continue on.

It has been three weeks since my last blog. Wow! I was writing them two and three times a week. But I had to take some time off to work on my health, or there won’t be a film. Perhaps, I worked myself too hard over the years. I didn’t take days off. I worked deadlines, sometimes for 18 hour days at a time. Maybe, I overworked myself! Or maybe, I just got sick because of trying to the do the right thing. I did get vaccinated. I did get COVID. But it made my other throat and airway injuries worse, and triggered a possible Neuromuscular disease as well. It has not been a picnic. But I can quit or conquer and that is now my new motto! I see this story for its onscreen possibilities and truly, it is mind blowing.

Soon we will start to shoot our 20-30 minute short. This will replica the actual film. So, it will have a lot more special effects, possible CGI, cast and crew. Plus it will be shot with a professional film camera that will have the capabilities for the big screen.

Snow is a very big part of our production. I would prefer to use real snow. So, hopefully we will be able to. Nature at its finest, is what we are wanting to bring. Also, to show the parts of Gettysburg that many don’t get to see. It is magical at times. It is also quite eerie, creepy and downright petrifying as Hell! I am working on a mood board to show the different types of emotions to investors. This way, they can see that Summer Ray isn’t a dull story – or a predicable one. I do not know the details on how the pilot will be funded. I just know it will be. The how, is up to GOD!
