Good Neighbors
Thursday, July 2, 2009
In Birmingham, Alabama, we found ourselves next to the fine people from the American Family Association. They are launching an exciting new broadcast initiative that will provide innovative programming for families around the country. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about the forward-thinking vision of The Homeschool Channel.
Hello, HEAV
Friday, June 12, 2009
Getting from Los Angeles to the East Coast wasn’t easy. The thunderstorms in Dallas that kept us on the runway were the least of it…
But we finally arrived in beautiful Richmond, VA for the Home Educators of Virginia conference.
The conference is off to a bustling start…
And with some very nice young ladies to help brighten the booth, it’s nice to be in Virginia…finally.
Entrepreneurial Wisdom

Today, we can offer this (seen at a local market yesterday):
Very soon, we’ll have something a bit more substantive:
The Great Northwest
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Franklin Springs was pleased to participate in the Christian Heritage Conference in Seattle, Washington last weekend. Ken Carpenter gave two addresses to enthusiastic audiences…
And two Franklin Springs booth attendants enjoyed the opportunity for some personal interaction with two of the conference’s primary speakers, Scott Brown and Voddie Baucham.
Off to Atlanta for the Georgia Home Educators Conference this weekend…
Shooting in The Dominican Republic

Good morning, Santo Domingo.
Mark and Nathan step out of the hotel to get right to work…
All in a day’s work…
We shoot interviews at Fortazela Ozama in Colonial Santo Domingo…
The Christopher Columbus monument stands watch over Cathedral de Santa Maria (the oldest church in the Americas)...
Expansion
Thursday, February 19, 2009
While one of our core team members is working for a season out of state, the thought has been posed as to whether or not we should modify our logo accordingly

Learning About the Ancient Peruvian Inca Empire…
...on a catch-as-catch-can basis.
Not a New Idea
Monday, October 13, 2008
Our production trip to the Northeast also included an especially rewarding day of shooting…
Our forthcoming film about Family Worship doesn’t address a new phenomenon…
The families aboard the Mayflower knew the importance of building strong foundations - within their homes…
And no, this photo of production intern Cole and a young lady from Scrooby notwithstanding, we did not procure any footage for our future film on the topic of courtship…
Look for our Family Worship film - including scenes from Plymouth, MA - in early 2009.
One State, Two Different Worlds
Monday, October 13, 2008
Shooting continued the last several days on two ongoing Franklin Springs projects:
In upstate New York, we had an invigorating shoot at Holden Coal for our forthcoming Family Business DVD (about family entrepreneurship).
And then several hours South, Director of Photography Mark Schlicher and camera assistant Cole boarded a subway bound for the Bronx as part of our project on Family Worship…
The Wes Guzman family provided a beautiful picture of a family making worship in their home a high priority - in the heart of New York City. Stay tuned for updates about other families participating in this exciting project.
The Impact of Film
Friday, April 25, 2008
Well, we’re not really certain that we can attribute it to the film. But after months of shuttling between edit rooms in Los Angeles and Nashville to edit Still Standing: The Stonewall Jackson Story, and not too long after having masterfully cut together sequences that include scenes detailing Jackson’s fierce love for his family, Joel took for the East coast to take his own bride.
Below, Joel stands proudly next to Martha, his ‘esposita’ (Jackson’s moniker for his beloved Anna), surrounded by the children of the film’s director. Next to Joel is his brother Graham, who has contributed his vast creative talents to A Journey Home and several other Franklin Springs projects. These two home educated brothers are shining examples of young men flourishing in their giftings, having been afforded the freedom to develop career expertise at an early age.
The older children of the film’s director were eager to brave the New York chill of an April evening to savor Niagara Falls after the wedding reception…
The younger children of the film’s director were eager to brave the chill of Lake Ontario on their way home through Canada the following day…
The director of the film (and his wife) arrived home thankful for their family’s friendship with Joel and his family and his new bride. May the Lord richly bless their new home!
