I'm in the middle of a film project that I'm BEYOND excited about. It's the second film that I have written the screenplay for, directed, and filmed with my Canon 5D Mark II. Actually, my Kevin helped me film "Second Sense" (I'll post the video and some pics later) and the fabulous Shaun Labrecque helped me out with this project; in particular, the crucial closing shot that will hopefully cause the audience roll up in the fetal position and cry.
So I'll be posting the finished film after the competition, but until then I wanted to share some stills from the shoot and explain what it's all about. The competition is benefiting Dixie Care and Share which is the only homeless shelter in our area. The shelter has come close to closing its doors because of a lack of operational funding, which is truly terrible and scary. My film will highlight this problem by giving information about the shelter and statistics on homelessness in our area, while hopefully touching people's hearts through a nice little visual story and beautiful music. My cast includes my daughter Lux, my niece and nephew Eva and Jordan, and my little sister Aubrie.
I can't wait to share it with you!

SO COOL!! I loved seeing Lux! She is getting so big! The pictures were a bit sad, but I know that was the point. Good Luck!!
