Production Improv 101
Wednesday, September 5, 2007
It’s always fun to utilize resources such as cranes and jibs and dollies. D.P. Mark Schlicher eagerly waits for the dolly grip to commence the move below…
But we don’t always have the luxury of a fully stocked grip truck on a shoot…
So we need to reach into our creative bag of tricks to simulate a maneuver…
And with a little ingenuity, Mark and Cole have given the shot a whole new dynamic…
In our forthcoming Young Filmmakers DVD, we’ll explore many means by which independent production can achieve great results - even without all the tools of the trade.
New Films on the Horizon
Friday, September 8, 2006
We are very happy to be working on four new DVDs that will be released in the months ahead. We have several other family-edifying films slated for production in 2007. We count it a great privilege to be about the business of providing families with God-honoring films. The following DVDs are currently in production:
The Eden String Quartet
A musical celebration of God-honoring family life and the joy of music in the home, this DVD tells the enriching story of a family with a commitment for using their talents and abilities for the glory of the Lord.
Stonewall Jackson: His Fight Before the War (working title)
A documentary based on the newly released book by Richard Williams, this project explores the life of an often talked about leader, and his not often talked about pre-war commitment and friendship with Southern slaves — a relationship that has resulted in generational impact for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Inherit the Land
Inherit the Land examines the rewards of the growing movement toward agrarian lifestyles and the benefits that families can gain from farming endeavors large and small.
Make Me a Movie (working title)
A how-to guide for emerging filmmakers with a desire to learn the art and craft of filmmaking from experienced professional filmmakers, this practical DVD will be an inspiring tool for those eager to explore God-honoring filmmaking.

A New DVD Shipping, A New DVD Shooting
Friday, June 9, 2006
Our newest DVD, The Family Meal Table with Nancy Campbell, started shipping last week. Our prayer is that this project will be used to further encourage the building of God-honoring families!
And then we’re very pleased to have begun shooting one of our forthcoming projects, a DVD that will explore and celebrate the growing movement of people engaging at various levels in agrarian lifestyles. We’ll be meeting families from across the country who have moved toward self-sufficiency through the growing of food—some in small garden settings, others in fully-functioning farms. And along the way, we’ll meet families who are working side-by-side and enjoying the fruit of God-honoring family-centeredness.
We’re also moving forward on several other new projects, the details of which we’ll be announcing soon!
Coming Soon

The Peasall Sisters: Family Harmony is finished!
The master is at the duplicator now, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first DVDs.
This project started when we met the wonderful Peasall family at a homeschooling conference in Nashville in the Spring of 2004. We fell in love with their musical gifting first, then got to know the heart of a family that is fully embracing the adventure of their unique calling.
Sarah, Hannah, and Leah Peasall are three tremendously talented musicians and singers. But spending time with them reveals very quickly and clearly that they are first of all committed to their faith and then to their roles in a God-honoring family.
The Peasall Sisters: Family Harmony has been a joy to produce. We now very much look forward to sharing their story with families everywhere. It’s sure to be a great encouragement!
