There are days when I wonder if I should continue. Then, I start to get into the story and I wonder how I could ever quit. It’s like my ice skating. The more advanced I get, the harder the practice is. Which is an obvious statement. But, as the skills get harder, so are the … More A STORY TO TELL!

I was actually pleasantly surprised by last night’s Oscars (May 04, 2018). The women’s gowns were more conservative; there wasn’t a night full of Trump bashing and I think it was great to see the diversity in all the films. Which is why we watch the Oscars right? To see the creative work of so … More THE OSCARS!

Ben Franklin once stated, “Lost time can never be found again.” I am very cautious in not wasting time. But, I am also constantly trying to get stuff done within the time I have each day. When I am not doing something, I tend to feel guilty. If I were to work out everyday without … More BETTER USE OF MY TIME!

 What I love about blogging this film journey, is the fact that I will be able to go back and read what we went through to complete the film. Hopefully, others who are struggling too, will find a sense of encouragement. They won’t feel so alone. There will be documented proof that perseverance is the … More THE OTHER LETTERS!

 I am extremely fond of George Washington! He was a brilliant and dedicated officer. I have visited the place where he crossed the Delaware River in the ice and snow. With my warm clothes, boots and temps above freezing, it was hard to imagine all they suffered. But, they chose to not take the paths … More THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE!

 Winter is a beautiful time of year, but only for about 30 seconds! Yet, I would not want to live in a place without it. After coming off a two month broken wrist, I am just finding my way back to my life. This includes the film, my skating and my day to day living. … More I AM BACK!!!

 I have been going over all that we have accomplished so far. Wow! It’s a lot. One cannot get discouraged about what hasn’t happened yet, when so much up to date has been done. I had a great deal to learn about the film industry and I am still learning. But, the point is, I … More OUR BRAND IS LOVE!

Today is February 09, 2018… exactly 9 years ago today, I started the Summer Ray Series when I climbed Big Round Top in Gettysburg, PA. The weather conditions were much like you see here. I will admit, it wasn’t the safest thing for me to do. But it was something I HAD to do. I … More STAY THE COURSE!

I am not sure if there is actually a “waiting period” in fimmaking. There seems to be something to do all the time. Even if you are waiting to hear from someone, there is still work to be done. I have learned there is nothing to be idle about. I cannot just stand still and … More I HAVE LEARNED…

Reading, studying, reading, studying, entering screenplay contests…the amount of work that goes into creating a successful feature film, is astonishing! I think one of the most important aspects (features, characteristics, particular parts, facets), is the audience. We can finish the film and have it be an amazing piece of story telling and art. But without … More THE AUDIENCE – THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR PRODUCTION!
