Introduction

I am posting my first blog. I have been wanting to do this for some time and after reading others' blogspots, I finally decided to do my own. I hope these are worth reading.

This blog will follow our family as we pursue writing and producing our own feature length film. Like everything else, it will take a lot of time, patience, money, and talented people. Our journey began 6 1/2 years ago with a decision that would push us out of the known and into a life that was new, exciting, and very uncomfortable. Three years in Virginia we spent so David could get his MFA in Script and screenwriting. While there, he also directed a short film. We then headed west to sunny California. After 3 years of working for free as an intern and working at Olive Garden to support a family of 4 then 5 and now 6, to try and break into the Fort Knox a.k.a. Hollywood, David was very discouraged. Then a friend of ours went out on his own and produced his own film. We decided we could do that too. After having exhausted all other avenues, we felt this was the direction God was telling us to go.

So here we go.
