Some of the subjects include:
How to get story ideas
Outlining your story
Why and how to use storyboarding and animatics
Sets and costumes
Choosing and buying equipment
Finding people to work with

Music
And more!

We just finished recording an interview for two web/pod-cast/radio shows with Cindy Rushton this morning. We talked about family businesses, fathers, our documentary and more. Versions of the interview will appear on the Mom to Mom show as well as Cindy’s new show Families in Business latter this month.
We are excited to announce that our first documentary (Entrusted With Arrows) is now available from our friends at Blue Behemoth.com! Blue Behemoth offers Entrusted With Arrows as a digital download for $9.95.
“BlueBehemoth.com’s vision is as big as its name: to provide a large-scale, cost-effective download venue for customers of all ages, featuring trustworthy, downloadable audio and video content for the Christian family.”
We are so exited to announce that we have received conformation that Entrusted With Arrows and Subitize Me are both Semi finalists in this years San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (to be held in October 2010) in their respective categories!

“When I watch the movie, I get this tingle in the back my neck and it sort of flushes my face.” ~ The Simple Life
Entrusted With Arrows was reviewed recently on The Simple Life blog, he had some very encouraging things to say. It is amazing to us to see how this Documentary is resonating with people across the continent.
”…I’d like to say thank you to the Movie Makers. Like a fire on a winter’s day, they brought cheer and inspiration to me, reminding me that with God, all things are possible. ” ~ The Simple Life
On August 1st Greg and Dallas were invited to do a live radio interview about the new MovieMakers documentary Entrusted With Arrows on the radio show “Gospel Road” on AM 11.40. The interview went fantastic, we have placed the interview online for those who wanted to hear it but were unable to tune in and so missed it.
Here are the links to all 4 parts of the interview:
In our documentary Entrusted With Arrows we were privileged to spend some time with the Jost family. At the end of our day of filming we had some time to record a song from their new album called What Happy Is and were able to include the living room performance of the song on our DVD (so if you a Jostie fan that is one more good reason to get the DVD!). This week the the Josties released the official music video of the song. Check it out it really is a fantastic song and video!
