While we might have preferred that others of you were right (we wish we were at Charles de Gaulle in Paris yesterday), most of you made the correct choice.
Michael Brabo, you got there first. Yesterday, we spent a frigid (but productive) day in beautiful wintry Chicago.
Congratulations, Michael. Enjoy the Carver film!

More Carver Feedback
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Here are a few more comments from attendees at a screening last weekend for George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Way:
From a dad…
“Outstanding documentary that provides a shining testimony of Carver’s life as one who excelled in his life’s calling and yet equally devoted himself in serving others. This film helps raise the bar of expectation as we teach and train the next generation. Thank you Franklin Springs for providing another first class film that encourages and edifies the entire family.”
Mike B.
From students…
“This film was so beautiful and inspiring. What a wonderful lesson we can learn from Mr. Carver about pouring our lives into others. He was not always doing what felt good or was easiest at the time, but he was serving and loving others first. A wonderful film and a captivating story.”
Hannah B. 15
“It was cool to see an interview with an actual student of George Washington Carver!”
Willa H. 11
“The George Washington Carver film encouraged me to study plants more and learn more about the world around me. I was inspired by this wonderful man’s life.”
Abby B. age 13
“In this movie I learned that George Washington Carver served many people. He was a very smart man who studied plants and invented many things.
I liked to listen to the stories that people told about him. Especially the older man who was once his student”Lydia B. 9
“George Washington Carver was a hard working man. He had many trials through his life, but never stopped trusting in the Lord. This point is captured very well in this movie”
Andrew B. 11
“It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I enjoyed learning so much detail about a Godly man’s life.”

First Reactions
Thursday, January 21, 2010
We held a screening of George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Way last Friday evening, and we’ve been hearing back from attendees. Here are a few of the numerous reports we’ve received:
George Washington Carver seemed to come alive in this documentary about his life. The still pictures, the on-site video, and the interviews all worked together beautifully to teach me the story of this remarkable man in a way that textbooks never did.
- Tina H.
I really enjoyed this film, especially the cinematography and narration.
- Chris S.
The George Washington Carver film was the most inspiring documentary that I’ve seen in a long time. I was fascinated by his life story. What a man of faith he was, and what passion he had for his Creator! It’s amazing how the Lord blesses the world through seemingly ordinary people that commit their lives to serving Him. I pray that my children will follow Dr. Carver’s example.
- Trish L.

Our composer on the George Washington Carver film, Tom Howard, sits in on the final day of editing, making certain that his cues are placed in just the right spot…
It’s a pleasure to bring Tom’s rich creative sensibilities to any project. Nice work on this one, Tom…
Here’s an example of Tom’s artistry in the Carver film. We call this cue “off to Neosho”:
