Forefront Was Amazing!
We had an amazing time last night at Forefront’s “church in a bar” service. We got to spend some time talking to their media guy Jason and I was 3rd to buy Vince’s new book and 2nd to get it signed!! (It’s not even out yet) I wasn’t sure what to expect last night, a seeker service obviously, but I assumed everything would be horizontal. Not the case at all!...

One Camera, 5 1/2 minute scene, One day to pull it...
I went to see Atonement tonight with my bride and it was one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Brilliant writing, stellar acting, stunning cinematography and of course “the shot” ”In the middle of Atonement, a 5 1/2-minute shot unfolds as Robbie (James McAvoy), a British soldier in World War II, comes upon France’s Dunkirk beach, where the final point in the...

I bring attention to this to help make sense of what the writers are asking for. I have to tell you it’s more...
