Upping the Bar

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

These are exciting days in the world of faith-based films…

“Like Dandelion Dust”, based on the Karen Kingsbury novel, features excellent performances by Mira Sorvino and Barry Pepper (below).  The film was released theatrically last weekend; thanks to the Downes brothers and everyone involved in the film for raising the standard of excellence in this growing genre.

We’ll need superb talent for our feature project. We ask that you’ll join us in praying that God will bring the right actors and actresses for the demanding roles in this film.

FW 2

“Talent into make-up!” sends yesterday’s film subject into the chair…

We had him finalize notes with the Teleprompter Operator…

Production assistant Cole was given the task of applying Neutral Density gels to the windows (notice the background being blown out on the right side, versus it being properly exposed on the left)...

Cole also responded in resourceful Guerilla Filmmaking mode when the director asked for a few fluid b-roll shots of the location…

The crew gathered around the video assist monitor…

And shooting the host portions of Family Works Volume Two, with Wade Myers, was underway.  Stay tuned for more details about the film’s release.

More Kudos for Carver

We are pleased to announce that George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Way has been nominated as a semi-finalist at the forthcoming San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. The Voddie Baucham, Jr., narrated film also won the ICVM Crown Award for Best Documentary earlier this year.

We’ve attended the San Antonio festival each of it’s first five years, winning a Jubilee Award in 2005 for A Journey Home, and another in 2009 for The Terri Schiavo Story. We encourage you to join us in San Antonio for this very stimulating event October 28 - 30.
