Rabid Camera

Rabid Camera We're a low-budget independent film outfit rabidly dedicated to what we do. But what matters most to God is how we treat people along the way. We make mistakes.

We started on the floor of an art class, with five friends, fifty bucks, and no idea what we were doing. After a some sandwiches, some hand guns, some very orange footage, a freak windstorm that took out home-base and a lot of how-to books, we got back in the game with zombies and poor logistics. Somehow, after the biggest project of my life crashed and burned, I still got to come back for a third

chance- and I got a new co-director out of the deal when the guy I sort-of trusted to carry bags for us became the man I trust with my actors and my life. The Making Of, the feature-film we're finishing in post right now, is a story about rogue filmmakers, awesome kids, crazy mistakes and redemption. While I and my dad finish putting together what our team of kids worked hard with us to make- and maybe breathe some life into that old zombie footage along the way- the team at Grace is still on fire and in training making our round of short films. We have dreams to change the world, to make people laugh, and point, and enjoy life a little more. A wise man once said that you can't be proud of everything you make, but you should be proud of how you made it. This is an adventure. We're learning as we go, building friendships, spaceships and rayguns, laughing a lot and praying maybe more. We make movies out of them. We hope you'll join us for the ride.

The people who made this possible give me hope to call this a rest, and not an ending.

Thank you, everybody, for sticking with us and not giving up on us while everything is hard.

Update: We're on filmmaking-vacation while saving up the money to repair our editing equipment.

But oy vey, the 3 jobs and school and wedding planning do keep a team busy! Prayers appreciated! @

We (Collin and Joy) bought our first home yesterday.

It looks like a set for Homeschoolers vs. Zombies. I love it.

We are editing on a computer that gives us 1/10th speed with access to 1/20th of our footage.

But we are moving forward, and there is comfort in that. #

Fun fact: While shooting The Making Of, we needed Judy and Adam to be really bad at ballroom dancing, so Collin and I gave them the worst, most confusing instructions possible.

Till maybe halfway through shooting, Judy and Adam thought we were just really bad dance teachers.

What happens when barely anyone knows what they're making a movie about?..stuff and pictures.

One member of our team came in on the last stretch of shooting The Making Of to help us pick up the pieces. She hadn't gotten to train with the other teenagers, and it was probably all a lot bigger and scarier for her than for everyone else. But she never gave up, and never backed down.

She saved our movie, and a year later, I'm still really grateful to have her on our team.

Thanks, Brilea. You're the bee's knees.

The Making Of, our first feature film, FINALLY has a trailer. I can go collapse with relief only not because we're still finishing the actual movie. SO CLOSE...

It's almost 1 am, but our team's computer is running smoothly again, and we can release our movie trailer on Friday.

Now if you'll excuse me, I shall go fall enthusiastically unconscious. #

"OOOOOH! YOU KNOW A GIRL WHO LIKES BLACK OPS!"

Quick behind the scenes of our newest feature film, The Making Of, and the kids making the movie with us. I have no idea why it looks like a grainy sci-fi.
