Cool idea. Stay in touch and let me know if something gets started.

A wildly popular viral video was produced by the Jim Henson-ites which mashes up muppet and Queen. Pretty stinkin' fun to watch, but what eternal benefit? Some creative inspiration, yes, but really... much else?
My point is two-fold. Jim Henson was a king of brand. He had a way with characterizing the archetypal extremes of human experience into easily memorable and lovable caricatures that is an ongoing study in product name-branding. So gain from the creative style, but spit...

Movie Makers and Shakers for Yeshua,
New book, new site, new hope.
You know, the world has radically changed in the POTENTIAL for global communication over the last 10 or so years. The internet is not a fad. It's not going away. I believe, in fact, that Yeshua (Jesus) has great plans for the invention HE introduced to Tim Berners-Lee over at CERN not so long ago (Grid, notwithstanding).
So to take full advantage of what power of communication is available to us...

Movie Makers and Shakers for Yeshua,
Worshipping in Grandview (Kansas City area) since 1996 at (then) Metro Christian Fellowship and (now) IHOP-KC, I'm proud (kinda like Paul was proud 2nd Cor.10:4) to introduce to you one of a growing amount of believers in Hollywood who hails from my Church (before I was there) - Josh Weigel!
Sunday night (May 24, 2009) I was privileged to attend a special session with this young "Movie Maker and Shaker for Yeshua" and I have high...

Dear MovieMaker and Shaker for Yeshua (MMASFY women and men), we as media makers have the power to give the deepest meaning to people's lives by simply telling our stories. And the power of a well-told, morally engaging story in these coming months and years will MAKE THE DIFFERENCE for your production company!
Tell the stories of the Cross...
Tell us how Yeshua has affected you...
Tell us who you have found Him to be in your time, your eternity...
Tell us of others...

Shalom in Yeshua, King of the Universe, beloved friends of the Bridegroom!
Moviemakers! I'm in!
I'm excited to announce that as I write, my church - IHOP / Forerunner Christian Fellowship - is sending a LIVE signal to Jerusalem via satellite of our 24 hour prayer and intercession. You can watch (until 12 noon central time today - and many other various times) on the God.TV website. You can also watch ALL the prayer and intercession LIVE at any time day...

OK.. I've been holding off since NAB
2007 (April 14-18) because I thought I'd find time to squeeze
in a video podcast.. but, ah, NOT gonna happen. I must tell you,
however, of one thing in particular I'm excited about - the Red camera is for real! This means
that, for the cost of a fancy car, you can make a film that will allow
us, as mere mortals, to freeze a frame and count hairs with God (Luke
12:7)... and other things less detail-oriented but...

I just want to challenge you guys to offer your pitches for your movies to your friends (and on MMASFY, if you'd like) and ask them to hold you accountable for getting your dream film(s) made! Make your pitches as vague as possible. We want to be like Mary (Yeshua's mom, Miryam) and "treasure these things up in our heart," alright?
I want to dive in and go first by speaking circumspectly about the 3 feature films I'd like to make....

MMASFY005 (Beta form) - San Antonio 02
This communique features a "vlog" - a "video log" of life covering the "monotony" of living... in a tin can that transports humans from the rain-drenched ground to the sun-kissed skies - on my way to The San Antonio Christian Filmmaker's Academy! Come along for the ride!

MMASFY004 (Beta form) - San Antonio 01
Last October, I was UBER-blessed to be able to go to The San Antonio Christian Filmmaker's Academy! (Yes, 4 months ago.. Yes, I've been busy) Has godless Communism taken over our schools, politics and movie industry? Do I have your attention with that outlandish question? What if I recommended you study the goals of the "Frankfurt School" and...

First, let me pray, "Father, in the name of Yeshua (Jesus) I pray for the radical, forerunners who have the spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:17, Malachi 4:5-6) and who are reaching into the heart of a planet focused on television and movies by making content for YOU which will touch them with the transforming power of Your word....

Moviemakers,Do not walk, run to this site and get Phil Cooke's emails! He just ... well, for lack of a better word, cooks! Sign up for his emails here!Here's a quote from the latest from him,
The Top Three Career Killers
Life can throw us a lot of curves. Our childhood, our parents, physical challenges, early experiences on the job, all indelibly imprint us with bad behaviors that are hard to shake. A women abused as a child, a man...

MMASFY episdode 002 (Beta form) - The Sima SL-10L LED Light
This little baby is really cheap and really bright and fits on a standard hot shoe - it's the Sima SL-10L and it cost me only 30 bucks (buy.com has it for $21). That's 1,275 bucks cheaper than Litepanel's Mini single light setup, but there's no dimmer switch and I might have to get creative with some tape and gel material.... but, ah... tha's ok.

MMASFY episdode 001 (Beta form) - The Red Camera
First, thanks and praise to Yeshua (Jesus), King of the Universe, who brings forth "all good and perfect gifts from above, from the Father of lights, in whom there is no variableness or shifting shadow!" (Ya'aqob or James 1:17) I'm hoping the RSS feed on inJesus.com will suffice for all future video podcasts!
I sincerely hope we get together this summer in Kansas City - the sooner the better! We could help...

Shalom Fellow Visionairies,
The Reach Conference (most likely the most forward - looking conference for MovieMakers who love Yeshua) has come and gone... and, uh, guess what. My 6 children won the battle over whether I should stay or go!
But not all is lost! This URL is a virtual GOLDMINE (at least for the next 6 months or so, as technology and distribution radically change again) -
