I have spent the last 7 hours researching and researching some more. The art of filmmaking and what it takes to complete a film and have it reach the theaters, is astounding.  This picture shows the beginning of The Memoirs of Summer Ray. Just when I think we are making headway, another layer shows up … More TILL WE GET IT RIGHT

Our Fiscal Sponsor for our film is Carole Dean of From the Heart Productions. Not only does she have a wealth of information about the film industry, she also has a heart of absolute gold. Perhaps that is why her company is called, “From the Heart.” It suits her. My own film company is called, … More I AM GETTING IT TOGETHER

Recently, I was stuck in the mud. I spun the tires frantically back and forth, splashing mud all over the truck and like the above picture, I wasn’t going anywhere. Whether it is mud or snow that we are stuck in, something has to happen in order to get us moving again and out of … More “JUST KEEP GOING”

I started working at a near by ski resort at their new ice rink. I totally love it as I get to teach kids and adults how to ice skate. Yet, if I am away from the battlefields too long, the missing of the boys starts to creep back in, until I simply cannot stand … More HE WILL MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL

One night at the ice rink, a father was desperate for me to teach his little girl how to ice skate. Of course, I happily agreed to. But something was standing in my way…HIM! As I tried to work with her, he held on tight to the back of her jacket. At one point, to … More “LET GO!”

I am almost relieved that we had not started Production yet on “This Fair and Blighted Land Part I.” I have gone back and forth from it being  Historical/Fiction (which it is) to a Suspense/Thriller which is as well. But it is also  Supernatural/Romance and Drama too. Geez! What was I thinking? But all of … More THE STORY OF SUMMER RAY

In sports, it is defined as, “a person who has defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition, especially in sports.” But the word “champion” has other definitions which are defined as “a person who fights or argues for a cause … More THE CHAMPIONS

I was having car trouble and by the way the engine sounded and the way the car ran,  you would have thought it was going to take some major repair work. Which would have also been, needless to say, expensive! Yet when the mechanic plugged the computer into the board, it showed the need to … More NO MORE MISFIRES
