Homeschoolers Make Musical Feature Film to Promote Tax Reform!

I know a lot of people out there are questioning what The Widow's Might is about. They remember our original poster and wonder if it's a romantic comedy, or wait, is it a western? So, in a fancy, bolded bullet point list, I would like to explain basically what The Widow's Might is all about.

"The Widow's Might Is"
A bullet list, by John Moore

1. An Outcry - Against a corrupt and altogether Marxist system of government thievery, in an enlightening, entertaining, and dramatic way.
   
2. A Film School - For the many homeschoolers (young and old) that make-up the creative team here at HeuMoore.
   
3. Good Old Fashioned Fun - For the families out there who want movies to watch as a family, that are both clean and witty, safe and extremely entertaining.
   
4. A Strong First Attempt - At a commercially viable and culturally significant piece of cinema.
   
5. A Westical ComeDrama - A Comedic Drama, with about 30 minutes of western and musical sequences spread throughout the film. It's also a movie about homeschoolers making a movie, so consider it a western, musical, comedy, drama, behind-the-scenes documentary fiction piece, based on true stories.

All these things combine to create an exciting, dynamic, and entertaining story. We hope you will agree!

We're working on a trailer now. What would you, the readers, like to see? Let us know! We'll do our best to answer further questions in the trailer. What do you want to know about the film?

Principle Photography is Wrapped! Behind the Scenes Video

Well, after a gruelling second shoot, a two and a half week marathon, I relax and take a drink of water. Jake, the gorgeous horse who stars in the Widow's Might, relaxes with me, with a cold bottle of apple juice.

And Cam has some cold water as well. :-)

Sarah Palin: What Does an Alaskan Think?

Many of you know that the Moore's, Moreland's, Heustis's, and many other friends of ours that now live in Texas, are from Alaska. In fact, all of us lived in or next door to the town of Wasilla, where Sarah Palin was just six years ago, served as mayor. Wasilla has a whopping population of 7,000. The whole state of Alaska only has a population of 680,000. But does her overnight run from being mayor of 7,000, to governor of less than a million, qualify her to be vice president over 300 million? I don't believe it does. In our dealings with her and her family, we have not experienced anything remotely close to what one would wish for in leaders of the nation.

But aside from qualifications of experience, our family believes there are some major biblical qualifications that she doesn't fulfill. In the following wonderful interview with Dr. Voddie Baucham on CNN, the primary problem as we view it is addressed. Dr. Baucham, thank you for standing firm in the face of the world, and addressing the biblical heart of the issue.

The video below has a short leader with other news articles as well. The interview begins at about one minute into the clip.

Shoot 2, Day 9 - Production Photos

We were delighted to have over 300 extras join us on August 27'th out in the middle of Kaufman County, and we had a great time filming with them!

Shoot 2, Day 8 - Production Photos

Tuesday, we had the opportunity and pleasure of filming Terry and Lori Taylor ( as Mayor Sam Warner and his secretary ), and Larry Winters ( as Carl Kilgore, seen with Gator above ). These folks were examples of tremendous patience and rapid-fire learning. Having no working knowledge of film or the film process, they radically switched mental gears for their performances and despite being very affluent and influential men, took direction and humbly asked for advice when they felt it to be necessary.

Finding men in their position with that kind of giving attitude is a rarity. It was a true pleasure to work with them, and we at HeuMoore really think that Mr. Taylor should run for office. He has the heart and mind of a Godly servant-leader, plus he has the face and presence to match.

That may be why he was such a perfect and natural casting choice for Mayor Warner in our story... ;-)

Can't give away too much about Larry's performance. It's fun and fantastic as well, I think you all will really enjoy their work.
