Production Update
Hello all - Sorry we haven’t had an update in a long time… Going back to work, I have found my time to do administrative things on the movie has been highly restricted. In any case, here’s where things stand: I could tell you so many things about how God has put things together just right, but unfortunately I only have time for one: The script originally was written with the Cactus Cafe in mind as a major location. Then they closed, and we had to look elsewhere. Low and behold, the Mesquite Bean Cafe opens up in it’s place, run by a tremendous person excited about the possibility of having the movie shot there!
We are about to do our, uh, 9th day of shooting? When you think of it that way, we’ve done a whole lot: approximately 20 shots have been completed. There’s still a whole lot more to go, but it is exciting to see that progress, even though it doesn’t seem to be that way!
We are still lacking in a few areas: We are having trouble feeding the cast and crew. Though we have had people sign up, it has proven difficult to find the available people on the right day. Would you consider helping?
We only have 3 people officially signed up to be on set and pray while we shoot. Of all the things that have not gone the way I expected them too, this is the biggest! This is a dire need - just to have someone be there, praying silently about all that is going on… I would have thought we would have too many to choose from! Would you consider helping?
The list for extras is long, but it is hard to get the people when we need them; It seems to be restricted to everyone’s busy schedules. Now, I understand how life takes precedence many times, but please, please - if you are notified of an opportunity, do it! The movie will not look near as good if we have the director doing a cameo appearance all the time!!! Would you consider helping?
Lastly, the need for money is always there - but praise God, we’ve been given some operating funds that could possibly carry us through the shooting process. But looking forward to editing, there is a need of a good editing computer - to the tune of about $4000. If you or anyone you can think of want to help, but cannot fit into any other role or position… would you consider helping with this purchase?
Thanks to all of you who are praying from your home. We have seen amazing things, and I know it’s because of you. Keep it up (and come pray on the set!) and God will put this picture together!
