2006 San Antonio Independent Christian Filmmakers Academy

Wow! With all the news about this Academy coming up, I'm becoming increasingly anxious to attend. Of course, my plate will be very full this October with all kinds of other exciting events, and the Academy has it's place.

o o

October will open up with a Christian Sabbath. What a better way to open a month than The LORD's day?

o o

The 2'nd through the 7'th will be filled with me printing business cards and hopefully getting together some kind of presentation material to share with a few different filmmakers at the Academy in San Antonio.

o o

The 8'th is another LORD's day, filled with fellowship and excitement as a good portion of the congregation prepares to embark on a trip to Washington for the Free Enterprise Day conference.

o o

The 9'th and 10'th will be spent packing.

o o

On the 11'th, I fly to Washington.

o o

On the 12'th, I meet up with friends who also fly in early, and film a meeting with the leaders of International Leadership Development.

o o

On the 13'th and 14'th, I relax and learn about Entrepreneurialism's roots in America, and how it applies to my Parent's corporation. Should be an educating time.

o o

On the LORD's day of the 15'th, I'll attend the church service hosted by International Leadership Development. So many people fly in from out of town for the conference that wouldn't be able to make it home in time, that ILD has a little non-denominational service for folks who are committed to keeping the Lord's day. Bravo, ILD!

o o

In the early, early hours of the 16'th, David Heustis and myself will board an Airplane bound for San Antonio. Once we arrive in San Antonio, we have to wake ourselves up, and prepare for the remainder of the day. The Film Academy.

o o

7'th and 18'th, the Academy continues and concludes, and as we graduate from the Academy on the 18'th, I also turn 17. So, I turn from 16 to 17 on the 18'th. Har Har Har. I make myself laugh.

o o

On the 19'th, 20'th, and 21'st, I will be attending the Film Festival, where hopefully our film will be a semi-finalist (thus far there is no news regarding our status), and Todd Rogers and his family will be joining us.

o o

Then, on the 22'nd, we will probably attend church right in San Antonio (I expect that the 21'st will be a long night) before returning home to Dallas. Vision Forum also recognizes the importance of a Christian gathering for those of us who are too far from home to return in time for the worship service. Bravo Vision Forum!

o o

Then, the 23'rd through the 26'th are spent in preparation and promotion of the 2006 Reformation Day Conference hosted by Faith Presbyterian Church Reformed of Mesquite, Texas. It should be a fun little git' together with food, fellowship, and instruction from wise men.

o o

October 27'th, 28'th, and 29'th will be spent attending the Reformation Conference right in our church, though the last day will be a more formal worship service than Friday or Saturday.

On the 30'th and 31'st, we will merely be recuperating from the last three weeks. ;-)

o o

I'll try to keep the blog updated throughout that time with pictures and maybe even a video. Depends on what happens, I guess.
