Church and Missions Leaders Affirm Our Vision, Seek Further Connection

Over the last few months we have been meeting and dialoguing with church and missions leaders who affirm our vision and invite us to collaborate with them.

With one large, historic San Diego church we are developing a proposal for a program to mentor filmmakers and produce several short art films. This would test some of the components of our three-part vision (see our homepage) which includes The Production Gathering and the Film-Gallery-Café.

Missionaries in Mali want to explore a project in which we would coach a successful Bombara theater troupe in adapting their plays to film.

A missionary to Mozambique is asking if we are available to help create videos to present the ministry they have in the business arena of that country.

We need more supporters to back us financially so that we can say confidently to these opportunities, "Yes, we are ready and able."

We invite you to help us nurture filmmakers, create new films in Mali, and produce videos for Mozambique. Click on the Donate button at our homepage and make your contribution through Pay Pal right now.

2009 Starts with Clarifying Goals

We began the new year by taking a long, prayerful look at our world and the part we play in it. Knowing that God's desire is that we each grow into our full potential as co-creators with God, we listed our dreams for that potential. Then we prioritized our aspirations in terms of time and progressing capabilities.

The process confirmed, clarified and added detail to the vision which we have carried for years: to create multi-media works of art which show God's reality and to exhibit them in ways which facilitate drawing closer to God.

This year we are sifting through our collection of screenplays to choose two short art films for production by December. Slowly we build a series of art films which we hope to display in a gallery, besides distributing on DVD and on the Web.

Other goals include growing in our Internet marketing skills, building a “fan base” for our films, and new ways of building assets which will supplement the donations of our supporters. The training we receive in our private businesses is pushing us ahead in these areas.

We also reaffirmed our vision to develop and contribute to a community of artists and arts supporters who share similar visions. This would include generating resources and support for the artists and mentoring younger ones.
