An Interesting Shift

Pendragon - Sword of His Father

Here is the message these people sent out about their new movie:

"The Pendragon Team started as a group of two homeschooling families - nine cousins and their parents - with a big idea. As the "Pendragon Project" expanded, God answered our prayers by sending countless volunteers to join our team.

Most of the shooting was done in sets constructed in our backyard. The costumes were sewn in our living room, and the soundtrack was composed in our basement. As we saw Pendragon through to completion, we watched God provide in amazing ways.

Although it is set in a distant time and a faraway place, Pendragon is more than an exciting fantasy - it tells a story that is essential to Christian families today. Through Pendragon's epic battles and dramatic intrigue shines the story of a young man whose life was changed when he submitted himself to God's plan."

I am not sure of the quality of this film, although I am pretty sure it is not one of the best ever made. But, it does represent an interesting shift. Now, instead of waiting for the movie you want to be made, with enough motivation, passion and homespun expertise, you can make the movie you want.

My daughter is kind of a fan of FRED. Fred started making videos for you tube that caught on with the younger set, and now he is being featured on icarly. See what you can do if you have enough motivation, or if you're just plain strange.

It appears that the face of media is continuing to change. I am not sad to see it.
