Well, we found out the time slot for our film! Unfortunatley, the way the film festival guys did it was really.. lame. When we first checked the films time-slot it was in the 7 pm awards ceremony! That means that it made it to the top 12 of 50 other films. We checked again the next day and it (as well as about six others) had been moved out of the 7 pm slot. We are in the 3:30-5:00 pm slot which is before the 7pm awards ceremony. But, we do know for a fact that we did make it with 12 other films to the top judges to be looked at. In other words, for a first go on a film we did really well. I have to wait until Saturday the 28th to go see it at the church with everyone else. In other news, John Ineno (the head of HD for CBS) came by Action House yesterday and taught us how to make XLR cables! I made about three or four of 'em. It was a blast! I thought I was going to be no good at it beacuse it was all hands on with saudering and wires and stuff. But, I ended it doing really well overall. So good times. Right now at Action House all of our decks are down. We have no way to import or export footage. Which means that 99% of what I do comes to a screeeeeeching halt. I'm trying to put together a new opener for out TV show, but I can't do any of that because I can't import footage to work with! AHH! On top of that, it seems that one of our computers is sending some electricity or something through it's firewire card. Which means it's blowing out all of our equipment that uses firewire (the cable that we use to import and export footage). So, we can't risk plugging anything in until we figure THAT out. It'll all work out.

In two days I will find out the time slot for the film. This is an important thing because it lets me pretty much know what the judges thought of it. The later the time slot, the better. Until then, it's back to the grind. The TV show is starting up again and we've got some great artists lined up. We'll also be going to Nashville in April for the Gospel Music Awards. On another note, Clay, Lars, Ryan and myself are going to be meeting at Clay's house on Mondays to keep the ball rolling as far as more projects go. It looks like our next project is going to be a mock-u-mentary. I can't say what about because it's a really good idea and I know people will steal it. Finally, if you didn't catch Mel Gibson on NBC last night then you missed out! It was truly and amazing interview. He proclaimed the gospel remarkably and answered the questions poised to him profoundly. It was amazing. Mel (with God's leading) is really paving the road for Christian films. -BRiAN

The film is... DONE! We dropped it off last night almost two hours past the deadline. It's really good. More later.
