I have read this book several times and I am studying it again. As we get closer and closer to finishing our pitch trailer, I have to make sure my pitch is spot on. But, it isn’t just in what I am saying. It is also how I am presenting my project. But more importantly, … More A PRIVILEGE DENIED TO MANY!
Sometimes, all I need to relax and to refocus is a Gettysburg sunrise. I adore this battlefield and to see the beauty of it in the morning, is awe inspiring. I have been feeling “stuck” in life lately. It has been very frustrating. So, this blog is not just about the film but also about … More LOOK FOR THE GOOD
While working on a new fundraising campaign, I had to add pictures. The one above is from about 7 years ago. I can hardly believe it is almost 10 years of working on this project. But, when I go through the pictures, I see one word – DEDICATION! So many amazing and dedicated people. Sure, … More DEDICATION
It was a day much like this when I first climbed up Big Round Top in February 2009. It was snowy, icey, cold, wet, and damp all at the same time. It was surreal. It was like I was in a dreamlike state. I knew I shouldn’t climb this hill in these weather conditions…but … More EXCEPTIONAL BRILLIANCE
I started reading the 6th volume as I am getting ready to release it soon. The story of Summer Ray started ten years ago and it is still not finished. There is a great deal of history as well as current events and as we know, some of those events are simply a huge mark … More VOLUME 6
Wow! It’s been a whirlwind these past few weeks. I am actually looking forward to winter. Because that means, spring will soon follow as well as our finished pitch trailer. The picture above shows the 5 volume book series, a few storyboards as well as our pitch poster. The 6th volume will also be … More IN ITS TIME
We are almost ten years into our Summer Ray project. I cannot say that I am weary, but maybe impatient. I am anxious about how amazing the trailer will look and I just want it all done now. I want the funds to be in, so we can get started on Production. In my moment … More JOURNEY TO HOLLYWOOD
Yes! I love this battlefield. No two days are ever alike. I could never be bored here! It is more of an experience that over time, permeates your soul and you just have to keep going back. There is always something new to see. With the film, I want people to be able to witness … More LITTLE BY LITTLE
I try not to talk about politics in my blogs on this site. But, I have written about American History since its conception. So, it is a difficult topic to dance around! I write about Presidents from Washington to Trump in the Summer Ray series. But there again, I have tried to keep politics … More PURITY OF PATRIOTISM
This picture doesn’t do the poster justice. But, in person it is crisp, clear and beautiful. This one has a mistake in it, so I am keeping it. But, I am pretty proud of this (almost) ten years of amazing people getting together to make this dream come true. It’s hard to believe that with … More JUST GETTING STARTED!
