The View Up Here

Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and the Strawberry Moon! What a glorious time to be alive. I have a few sweet as strawberries updates for you, my dear reader. And so it begins: summer produce! First -- you should go to my new site that details my upcoming pilgrimage and personal documentary film in Korea! Yes, I'm going! It's happening! https://koreadreambusdocumentary.blogspot.com/ Second -- I ended up leaving the secretarial half of my job, continuing on with the staff writer post. I will also add teaching theology part time this fall - this time to high schoolers. I am very pleased with the combination of writing and teaching. And yes, both jobs have cleared me to be gone for three weeks to go to Korea.  Third -- My short film, renamed "Souled," is now very close to picture lock (final picture edit). I've hired a composer, a sound mixer, and a color correction guy. Post production is in full swing, and boy am I excited to get that pic...

The film is now in the capable hands of an editor in L.A. The first cut looked good, and we continue to work on honing the vision.  We are still in need of finishing funds, so if you are so inclined, please take a look at our Go Fund Me campaign and give what you can. Any little bit helps! Thank you! Dream House Fundraiser

Moving on to post production now, searching for an editor to work with. It's been an incredible ride, humbling and exhilarating. The cast and crew who came to create a film with me have been rock solid, every one of them a superstar. I couldn't ask for anything more uplifting! It's good to have a creative project that requires me to keep moving forward because we're entering that time of year when I fight seasonal depression in a big way, even more so living where I do with so little sunshine. Something's gotta change there, folks, that's the only way I see it. But until then, full steam ahead.  Makin' a movie! Help me make a movie! "Dream House" in the news
