Paradise Recovered
I am Producing and Directing my first feature film this summer. We’ll be shooting in Austin Texas and Bloomington Indiana and we’re gearing up to shoot right now (starting July 6th).
Paradise Recovered is a modern-day retelling of the parable of the Good Samaritan and a coming of age story about a young woman’s discovery of what it means to have faith. It was written by the very talented Andie Redwine who is also Producing.
Here’s how you can keep to date with everything that’s happening as we embark on this adventure.

Twestival Wells Being Drilled
Twestival was a worldwide Twitter organized festival to raise money for Charity: Water. Charity: Water is all about getting clean water to the 1.1 billion people on earth who are currently forced to drink muddy, parasite filled water. I was lucky enough to be a part of the Austin Twestival. I even shot and edited a video about it which you can see here.
That’s why I’m really really excited to see that the drilling has commenced on the first Twestival wells in Ethiopia:
A Chance to Speak at My Alma Mater
I love to speak and teach about my passion for video and film. Lately, I’ve been getting more and more opportunities to do so. Last week, David J. Neff invited me to be a guest speaker for a PR class at the University of Texas. I graduated from UT in 2001 and so jumped at the chance to return to campus and share some of what I’ve learned since leaving.
Up first, David gave a great talk on Social Media. Engaging, funny, and informative. Towards the end, he spoke about the importance of video in Social Media and that’s when he introduced me. I gave the class practical tips for shooing good video. Tips that they can use to go out and start producing their own videos for their social networks, their clients, their classes, or their selves.
Liz Kelley, a member at Texas Tower PR, blogged about the class and what we had to say. Check it out HERE.
Making Movies
I have exciting news. I’ve signed on to Produce my first full length feature film. A friend of mine has written a wonderful fantastic amazing script. The story is about a woman raised in a strict Christian cult who suddenly finds herself cast out of that group. She has no identity apart from the group and finds herself questioning her core beliefs and trying to decide who and what she can really believe in. It is a story that has so much potential and I’m really excited to get to be a part of it. I’ll be sure to post more details as they come to pass.
