Banners… Films! Films that proclaim “Yeshua!” Salvation! Our Savior’s name as a baby was… “Salvation!” May our banners hold His name high!

US Economy is flailing … but that only means MORE need for “entertainment” … just as in the 30s … I’m asking heaven for Christians to be used like Daniel was. Banners = Movies! Psalm 20:5!

(No reward for this prayer but that’s ok – Matt.6:5, 1st Cor.3:18 – because Jesus compels me.)

Have you ever considered what heaven has been doing all these years? I propose that ONE of the things heaven has been doing is recording the deeds of the Almighty Yahweh, Maker and Lover of heaven and earth!

Steven Spielberg has nothing the on “scribe-angels” in heaven – possibly pre-dating human recordists and filmmakers by 100s of thousands of years! Think REEEEEEEEEALY advanced technology!

Question… what could we learn from Abba Yahweh that we could NOT learn from Hollywood? I propose – everything we need to know to make movies that will make the CUT when Yeshua comes back to destroy the systems of men.

Will you be one of the ones who pulls down those new stories? Those new camera angles? That new editing style? That new sound? That new music?

You’ll never find out if you’re only leaning upon Hollywood to give you your insight.

This is HOPFAN1 – House of Prayer for all nations 1. It’s hopefully the beginning of a series of web films which explore the idea that Jesus (Yeshua) loved His Father’s house so zealously that He took up a whip to make the point! See Matthew 21:12, Mark 11:15 and John 2:15…

They came to Yerushalayim, and Yeshua entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves. (Mark 11:15)

I wanted to show you this edit for 2 reasons… to get the thing out the door before the end of 2007! And also to let you see how much can be done in post! Hopefully (if other projects don’t swamp this little guy), I’ll show how so much can be done (especially with text effects via Apple’s Motion) to add to the final effect. Special thanks to (in order of appearance) Joel, Micah, Matt, Corey, Kenny and Simon. The music at the end is mine… with a little help from my friends at Reason!

I’m a huge supporter of HaYovel.org and the Wallers (a family of 14!). The movie made about their life, A Long Journey Home, by Franklin Springs Family Media, was inspirational for me to bang out a little still-camera narrative, HOPFAN1. I try to give some insight to other inspiration as well… the beard is another story altogether.

Here’s some of what we do around the office. Actually Dusty’s really the only apprentice helping – me and Keith were just “documenting”! This is the OneThing Promo shoot – final shot. Angel Soto directing – youtube.com/mememto.

Here’s the lyrics to the background song, Completion (written, produced by yours truly) –

If the end wasn’t coming – the end of this world system – if it wasn’t crumbling – beneath your feet…

What would you do – with your precious seconds? – Would you dance? – Would you romance?

Would you teach the precious children – with an eye for substance? – Would you keep the precious things – in plain view?

Would you fill their circumstance – with hope? – With love? – With dignity? – With adventure?

This is your completion! – It’s not only about you – It’s about the children!

On May 28th, 2007, 32 apprentices began 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, LIVE broadcasting from Grandview, MO. See it at http://theprayerroom.god.tv/ and, occasionally on http://god.tv/ The signal is beamed from Grandview to Jerusalem, then on to the outermost parts of the planet. I’ve been chosen to be apart of it and MAN, am I excited! Basically it’s the culmination of all my calling and gifting in one gig. May the King Yeshua be glorified! Make movies, everyone!!!

This is a “vlog” – covers the “monotony” of living in a tin can that transports humans from the rain-drenched ground to the sun-kissed skies – on my way to The San Antonio Christian Filmmaker’s Academy!

Last October, I was UBER-blessed to be able to go to The San Antonio Christian Filmmaker’s Academy! (Yes, 4 months ago.. Yes, I’ve been busy) Has godless Communism taken over our schools, politics and movie industry? Do I have your attention with that outlandish question? What if I recommended you study the goals of the “Frankfurt School” and what if I suggested they already have!? This is the basis for today’s current cultural confusion, I’m convinced. This, among other things (like where to point a light and how to climb a mountain), is what we learned October 16th-19th, 2006, at the Academy. Join me in this several-episode series covering the event. (Subscribe!)
