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!
