Oy!  I haven't posted here in a dog's age!  Sorry all.  I'm home in Upstate NY.  Came back a couple of weeks ago (four to be exact) to raise some more support for my mission work (Check out my mission blog here: rachelfinder )

One of the first things I did when I came home was create a short film.  Of course.  I've been making video shorts professionally all ( Read more... )

Ah!  The long hours of work are paying off!

Last January, my sister Em and I came up with an idea for a movie.  And being creative people, we didn't just come up with the idea.  Em wrote a synopsis, I turned it into a script, and by April we were busy with the details of pre-production.  By August, we were ready to start shooting.  Three days of ( Read more... )

Our latest batch of broilers (chickens bred and raised specifically for meat) are here and growing in the backyard.  This is about Peeps and his big dreams.  :)

I was up late one night a couple of weeks ago, looking out at the moon.  I grabbed my video camera and started shooting.  It's interesting what happened when I took off the automatic focus!
