The Pearl of Greatest Price

As of today, there are 59 people on the Pearl Project mailing list! and the vast majority of these people have volunteered in one way or another to see the movie come to be. That is a huge thing! There are people from all walks of life, and from at least six different churches! God is at work, no doubt. But keep praying for more. We’re actually in the earliest stages of the movie. In about a month, when the cast is assembled, I would expect the pace to pick up - finding locations, equipment rental, etc. (anyone know where I can get a beautiful but fake Concho pearl?)

Anyway, keep praying! “It’s going to be a miracle worth waiting for!”

I want to personally thank all of you who came out to audition for Clara and Young Clara this past Saturday. It went extremely well, and there are a lot of talented ladies out there! It will be a while before we can announce any roles, so please have patience.

We are continuing to push towards a full cast, with the next audition date set for July 19th. This day will be an open call, for all other roles in the movie. If you want to audition, and know that date is not available, or if you missed the audition for Clara/Young Clara and would like a private audition, please contact Kinsey, Pearl movie producer, at kinsey@theconchopearlmovie.net to set up a date time. Please, only those who missed the Clara/Young Clara auditions or cannot make July 19th.

As a final note (I always have the same one) - Please continue to spread the word!!! Here’s a few ideas:

1. Call or email all of your Christian friends, in San Angelo and the small towns around the area, and tell them to visit the site: www.theconchopearlmovie.net

2. Add this line to the signature of all your emails:
The Pearl of Greatest Price - An Independent Film Project for the Concho Valley Christian Community

3. Buy a Pearl T-Shirt for $15 (no profit) and wear them every moment you can! We will print them when we have 25 orders, and payment due on order, not delivery (got to have the money to print them before we can!) Contact the producer, kinsey@theconchopearlmovie.net to order. You can view them online from a link in the News section.

4. Pass out info cards, available from the producer or me. I suggest having a few of them in your purse or wallet, and give one to everyone you see who wears a Christian or church T-shirt (at Wal-Mart, the mall, etc.)

We HAVE to get the word out, so the people who need to be in the movie know about it!!!! And lastly (so you will remember it) - PRAY. This movie relies on prayer, more than anything else. This is God’s project, we’re just doing everything we can for it to be the absolute best we can do. Thanks again for being involved!!!

We will begin the casting process for The Pearl this Saturday - June 21st, 9:00 am, at Glen Meadows Baptist Church. This Saturday will be dedicated to Clara, both young and old. Clara’s character is in her late 20s, and Young Clara is 10 years old. So, if you believe you could pass for these characters, feel free to audition. Please make sure you fill out the volunteer form on this website and indicate your desire.

For those of you who have already done so, we will send an email to you with more details, including a reading script that you can study for the audition.

I would like to introduce the Producer for The Pearl… Kinsey Dixon. Kinsey is a San Angelo native with a background in artistic productions, and a passion for this project.

Kinsey will slowly be taking on the task of organizing the project, and keeping it moving it on down the path towards completion. Like most everyone working on the Pearl, Kinsey is learning as she goes… so keep her in your prayers! You’ll be hearing more from Kinsey in the coming weeks.

I have just returned from the County Clerk’s office, and San Angelo National Bank, and it is finally done - the Simile Studios production company is now alive and well! This marks an important step in the process, because I don’t know how many of you have thought about this, but this is just the first movie we will make! There are plans for others…

But of course, the focus is on the Pearl of Greatest Price right now… It’s the only one that matters.

But this is a big step forward! If there’s any monetary donation you’d like to make, you can now make a check to Simile Studios!
