Hello everyone,
Wanted to give a quick update on the festival: Registration was up and running smoothly but with an unexpected plot twist (at least to me). Part of the viewings for the festival have been moved to the Municipal Auditorium, approximately a mile away from the Convention Center. This makes it rather difficult for Christian and me to tote our equipment back and forth.
Other than this, however, things are running wonderfully. So far we've previewed "Live to Forgive," a overwhelming story of a young man's journey through anger towards his step-father for killing his mother, forgiveness, and re-unity by God's grace. The story was incredibly powerful, leaving us to wish only that they had more money (and thus better equipment) to tell their story with. Sadly, this is the case with so many aspiring Christian filmmakers.
Speaking of aspiring Christian filmmakers, Right now Christian is previewing some short films. It's exciting to see these initial efforts made by budding filmmakers, and we look forward to seeing how they grow and hone their talents and gifts in the upcoming years.
A quick look forward: Hopefully sometime tonight we'll be posting a "recap of the Academy" video. Since we weren't able to be present for the academy, we're taking some insights and opinions from fellow filmmakers and attendees as to how they felt like the Academy went, and why they would encourage others to attend. Stay tuned for that, and more photos and videos.
And please, follow our twitter account so that we know that we aren't just tweeting into some abyss ;)
God bless!
Isaac Franklin
