The Pearl of Greatest Price

I have worked on the website quite a bit - added tons more information and created more avenues for people to know what we need.

One thing that I haven’t added to it is the encouragement I would give you to advertise the movie. Talk about it to everyone you can. Email your local friends. Put a link to it at the bottom of all your emails. Send them to Family Christian, where they can pick up a handout. Buy a T-Shirt.

Oh - I haven’t mentioned that? We have a promotional T-Shirt you can buy for $15 (That’s as cheap as I can get it made for such a  low volume). I will be sending in an order on June 6th, and I need the money from you before I order. This can be extremely difficult to coordinate, I know - but the movie money is down to $800 and I can’t afford to order a bunch of shirts, and then try to sell them. So - I strongly encourage you to buy one, and you can find me out at Glen Meadows Baptist Church Tuesday - Friday, 8am to 5 pm… Or, to make it convenient, I will be at Family Christian Stores at 7-7:15pm, Monday June 2nd. I will be wearing a Black Fireproof movie crew T-Shirt. Click to see the pearl-t-shirt.

The date has been set for casting the principle roles: June 21st. The location for this has yet to be decided. I have the first people (beyond those who helped with the script) step up to become involved, and they will help me with the casting decisions. Over the next few days, I will put up a post about each of the major roles in the movie, so people can begin to get a sense of who these characters are, and if they would like to audition for one of the roles.

In other news, I just received the official word today: The Pearl of Greatest Price is now officially copyrighted! Next step in the legal arena is to set up the production company: Simile Studios. This needs to be done so all business can be conducted through a separate entity. My cash reserves are very thin, but God will continue to provide, I have no doubt. I just need a place for people to send it.

For all of you who have been a part of the script process, thank you! I have sent the first draft of the script off to Washington to get it copyrighted! Many of you know how momentous that step is. The process takes a good six weeks or so, but I don’t think there’s any worry about problems.

So progress is being made! The next hurdle, I’m finding rather bluntly, is getting the word out. The strategy of approaching the area churches might be a bit more difficult than was first conceived, and rightly so: There’s no proof that this is anything more than a fancy dream, to anyone who doesn’t know me, and I cannot personally visit every church to share the details of this project. Please, please - spread the word to all the Christians in town! I’ll report when I have a new strategy, or another breakthrough.
