The big day is fast approaching!! The entire Measure of a Man crew will be heading to California Saturday morning for an entire weekend of filming. Everyone is scrambling about trying to get last minute details ironed out. I can’t even begin to describe how excited everyone is. The excitement is definitely contagious. I can remember the day when Stephanie presented her idea to the group. Her

April’s meeting was by far the best meeting this year. So many things are happening here at DCFM that it is hard to keep up! Especially exciting this month was a visit by Mr. George Escobar. If you don’t know who he is, let me introduce you. Mr. Escobar is the founder of the Advent Film Group, a film studio dedicated to producing Christ-honoring films. In fact, their first feature film, Come

Praise the Lord!!!! The Call of Courage is a semi-finalist at the San Antonio Indepedent Christian Film Festival!! All of us are incredibly excited about what the Lord has done for us. In February - who would have dreamed that we would 1)finish a movie in so short a time and 2)receive semi-finalist status at SAICFF.When I heard the good news I was actually working on a video.

Picking up on the chronology with a slight review...Saturday, we set aside part of the morning for our church service and had a wonderful time in God's Word. We moved worship from Sunday to Saturday because we anticipated many of our actors arrival Sunday morning, and getting them situated at that time would disrupt any attempt at corporate worship.Like said, a few of the guys ran a couple

Well folks, the shoot is over and we're all at home, marvelling at the work of God. The myriad of ways He provided for and protected us has simply blown us away. Over the next bit, we will try to recount some of those ways for you.Glad y'all liked the pictures! We were sorry we weren't able to update more during the week, but not having Internet at the ranch and having the packed schedule that we

Howdy from OK! It's been a very full couple days since we arrived at the ranch.Right now we are at an old '50's fuel station in a town with (guessing) maybe 20 people. :DWednesday afternoon everyone made it safely to the ranch, though we got a bit turned around on the way. In the evening, we had a planning meeting (we do a lot of those in DCFM), hashing out logistical details from the storyboard.

Today most of us pull out and head for Southern Oklahoma! (you can start singing if you like) The journey should be full of enjoyable and productive conversation* as we carpool from our various home towns to arrive at the ranch mid-afternoon.
