done and moving

Last week i finished my SDF (School Of Digital Filmmaking) with a night we all showed our final projects and had some laughs!



I finished my course with a 90 percent! that may be one of my best grades ever, so i was very stoked! Now with the school done im taking a couple weeks to pray and plan the months ahead. Right now im in Kauai Hawaii with one of my roommates Devon Moon.



Ill be heading to "Main Land" on the 14th of july and meeting some Friends from Australia in Vegas and hooking up with the XXXChruch Crew that i met in Australia too. http//www.xxxchurch.com after that ill be going to San Diego for a couple weeks to plan out the next step.




At this point i think ill be going around the U.S. raising money for First Fruits ( the ministry im running) in Australia. Ill be looking for more supporters for me and ones who will help me get film and editing gear together so i can start making better films and be able to house more people who want to be apart of First Fruits.



Im seeking God on a next Film project, either it be a documentary or a narrative film, but one that will get people excited to be apart of and put their money into. While im in San Diego ill be working on a good web site and putting together a package (i hate to use the word but) "advertising" the ministry. i hope to be back in Oz early 2010 God willing. Please keep this and me in prayer. For guidence and passion and the right story to tell. My passion is to tell a story that is going to change people in the western countries! So ask God to show me that! IM excited for the months to come Its going to be a big challenge and a monumental growing period for the ministry!

Love ya all heaps and ill be updating more regularly again now that im done with the school!

IN the thick

Ok sorry guys for being slack at keeping in contact. I hope most of you got your post cards! If not, its not becuase i dont love you. We just finished a 9 day shoot and are editing the projects this week but in the morning we pitch a new film idea to head into another week long shoot. This next short film is about a Vampire who struggles with bulimia. Kinda a funny light way to tackle a big issue, so we will see how it goes over.

As the school goes on the more im thinking of whats next. The best way to pray for me is that i would stay focused and energized. There is still heaps of work to do and i want to give my best. Im so thankful for my time here in Hawaii, God has been so good to me and has blessed me beyond comprehension. I want to continue in this adventure of life and love and obedience to God. Hearing His voice and having peace in what i hear is a huge need.Im thirsty for more of his word. I need to re-gear my schedule so im reading more. I have seen so much more of Gods presence in Me through the laking of being in the word. But im still thirsty for his love filling, leading, reminding me daily.
Thanks for the prayers and love.

P.s. im on my last bit of my school fees but i think they will be taken care of when i get my next support check! Praise God. And thank you all who helped!

OK so this is from this last shooting week. Im actually holding up Joel (my steadycam man) with my knee to get the shot, basicly he's using me as a chair.

And this is Waipio valley where we hiked on our ONE day off also where some of the Jurassic park movie was filmed.
