Working for the Weekend!
Welcome to my first Wednesday update. Below, you'll find what I am currently working on AND my picks for local (and sometimes national) events this weekend!In all honesty, the 'what I have going on' section is more to let my family know what all of the fun-craziness is. In this industry, with a lot of projects going on at the same time, it's hard to keep track of everything! So feel free to scroll to the bottom for my pick of events. It won't hurt my feelings because I'll never know!!! 😉
In Pre-Production:
I am working on lining up special guests for "Stephen's Disney Dream" and getting the project's next episodes in the can.
I will be filming and editing a couple of spots for a local politician running for election.
I am joining forces with another local author to write a screenplay we will then produce. More information coming on this heart-warming story soon! (Gotta sign the papers first!)
I have the honor of working with Lisa on some short informationals about her work with Transitions, a group of Volunteers who strive to "empower displaced families to achieve stability in housing, employment, finances, and to provide spiritual support".
I am working with a group on a large local Christmas event! (LOVE IT! I look forward to sharing more details as they are finalized!)
I have been tapped to be a Judge for three film festivals: 2 here in Virginia and 1 in New York.
I am working with the local branch of the Holiday Project to coordinate upcoming visits to homes on Veteran's Day and Christmas Day. If you are local and would like to join us, let me know!
I have agreed to help a local woman achieve an item on her bucket list by directing a show (theatre). She is a first-time producer and doing a great job! It is an honor to help her achieve a dream! Audition and show information will be coming in December. (Auditions in January, show in March!)
I have started planning our Thanksgiving, Christmas, George's Birthday (January), Jason's Birthday (February), and Robert's Birthday (March)! (If I don't take the time to plan these in advance, I fear the dates will creep up on me fast and I'll be unprepared!)
In Production:
One of the film festivals I am judging is currently accepting films. It has been such a joy to see the talented, amazing films coming in and to be part of a festival on this end! Judging would be difficult if we were comparing the films directly; however, we are gauging each production on its own merits, strengths, and weaknesses. I cannot wait to see which films end up on top and to celebrate the successes of all of the filmmakers!
Other projects that are not a 'production' like in film/theatre: I am still teaching AWANA Cubbies at a local church, I serve on our HOA board, and I am honored to serve as the Lee's Hill Commissioner for the Spotsylvania County Cable and Telecommunications Commission.
In Post-Production:
I am editing and putting together the social media page for pictures/film I have taken at the local Taekwondo school. I look forward to the project going live soon!
Recently Completed Projects:
I had the honor to edit footage from recent speech by Michael Balzano, hosted by the Spotsylvania Conservative Women's Coalition. An amazing (and entertaining) man who worked across party lines while serving many US Presidents. I highly recommend checking out his book! It is an easy read with lots of behind-the-scenes looks into the white administrations for several presidents AND I guarantee you'll laugh out loud!
I edited a couple of spots for a local politician currently running for election.
