Homestead Blessings: The Art of Quilting…
Fourth Generation
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Our forthcoming Family Business film, hosted by Wade Myers, will provide valuable insights into entrepreneurial ventures. It will also reveal the benefits families experience when they work together, especially in successive generations.
The Cook family started Cook’s Pest Control with one employee (John Cook) in 1928. Now, great grandson Brian Cook (below) is being readied to one day assume leadership of the company’s now 33 locations and 1,300 employees.
Brian not only regularly works alongside his parents…
His grandmother makes a daily contribution to the business - at age 82.
Our experience in getting to know the Cook family and their commitment to God-honoring excellence in every facet of their business has been an inspiration to us. We look forward to sharing their story with you…

Off to a Good Start

While the photo below of Bob Farewell (host of The Family Heritage of Hunting) may lean toward hyperbole, yes, it’s been a productive morning…
The Family That Works Together…
Thursday, March 18, 2010
Part of the Franklin Springs team traveled to Georgia yesterday and today to continue shooting on our upcoming Family Business film. The film will be hosted by Wade Myers, who anchors our Venture Academy Entrepreneur Training program. We shot today with the extended Davis family.
This segment will feature AgStrong, which operates a canola and sunflower processing plant (among other agricultural endeavors).
We shot in Bowersville, where the plant is providing new opportunities for local farmers, and helping to revitalize the community.
We also filmed in neighboring Lavonia.
Mark shot on the 500…
Dale joined us and shot with his 300…
And two production assistants always had the 200 ready for whoever could grab another shot…
We’re looking forward to releasing this inspiring new film later this year.
Called Into Duty
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
On some shoots, we have the budget to hire the extras needed to bring a scene to life.
Not always…
Knowing that the action called only for the hands and torso of a physician, we made due with a member of the production team.
This is as close as this extra will ever get to contributing in an emergency room. He’s more disposed to surgery of the variety that occurs in an edit bay…
On The Lookout
Monday, March 15, 2010
One of our mantras when we’re out gathering footage for a story is to always be on the lookout for the unexpected.
We wrapped out of shooting at a hospital in Columbus the other day, and as we were loading gear on the fifth floor of the parking garage, one of our team members happened to turn around and observe that we were at the perfect vantage point to acquire the downtown establishing shot we knew we wanted to find.
Out came a camera and tripod…
All In A Day’s Work…
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Today’s shoot outside Columbus included a sequence we quite enjoyed.
Dylan, Cole, Rod, and TJ got their respective assignments…
Mark got a thorough safety briefing, then climbed aboard…
Lift off…
Cole got pulled off the camera crew to become an extra in the scene…
Later, Mark switched from the skycam to the stedicam…
Even the director got his hands on a camera…
The adventure continues tomorrow…
