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!
I love this cannon picture as the light hits it just right. These pictures do not just materialize on their own, they take a lot of work. One must know when to sit, stand, squat or lay down and in which way to angle the camera. But nonetheless, it is always being at the right … More THE COMMITMENT TO POLISH THE PROJECT!
WooHoo…I feel like we are finally crossing our own icy waters of the past. Like George, our faces are set toward the future and the victory of crossing that finish line successfully. Finally, we have the right direction in which to go and we are working on the steps to get where we need to … More 2018 THE STAGE IS SET!
This photo shows the exact same setting that inspired me to write the Summer Ray Series. I was called to the top by unseen forces and it changed the course of my life forever. This view has not changed, in all the years I have been coming to this beloved battlefield. It is home, more … More FATHER TIME
This morning I felt compelled to stop by the battlefield and just relax. So, I took my breakfast and went to my favorite place (which is shown in the above picture). It was quiet and when I looked up at Big Round Top, it was almost as if I was a part of it. I … More CHANGING OF THE TIMES
Wow! This picture was taken a long time ago, maybe 7 years! This would have been year 2 of the Summer Ray adventure and I was still working on the first book. I love being able to go back and actually look and see where we started, to where we are today (December 16, … More THE POLISHING STAGE
I am pretty excited about some of the changes we have made, or rather God made and I happily obeyed. Actually, I was so blown away I couldn’t do much of anything. I was like jello. Ever been there? I have learned over the years that delay does not mean, “No! It will never happen.” … More SUMMER RAY – THE REDEMPTION
Like Thomas Edison, we will not quit until we find what works and for us, it’s the right pitch and the right angle. We have tried year after year to no avail. But, here we are trying again. I am hopeful we have finally found what WILL work and what will show the true heart … More SHINE LIKE STARS!
