AI JESUS Premiere Event, DEVIL’S PASS Post Updates and More…

I’m sipping my hazelnut coffee and awaiting the Detroit lions to play from Germany. I’ve only been to Germany when playing soccer in Denmark and we took a trip to the wall. I’ve got a piece of the wall somewhere. This past week was hectic but also very productive. I had several appointments I had to assist with during the week and minus one snafu we got all of them checked off. I also had to get my first of my temps for my broken tooth. Read last week’s blog if you are not in the knowing. In three weeks I get a better more non-invasive temp. And last stop will be the implant first of the year. This first temp is set into a tray and makes my talking a bit more difficult but so be it. I feel like I talk like AMOS from ROM COMS MUST DIE with it in. See this film streaming now if you have not.

I’m also trying to improve upon my computer work station and even now I’m trying a raised laptop stand, a keyboard and mouse and I’ll be adding a larger monitor maybe two. This week was getting things organized for end of the year with CDI endeavors. It is a transition but on the other side by work will be streamlined and our partners will benefit from it all. I again want to thank John Mashni and Davison & Associates CPA for all their help. I’m already looking at goals for 2027 and I will be looking at what was accomplished in 2026.

ALL ARE RELEASED NOW!!!

UPDATES:

1. Rom Coms Must Die is now also streaming on places like TUBI where you can watch free with ads. This comedy slasher is unique in the presentation and I love that audiences seem to be getting the humor of it. I really do enjoy humor.
2. AI JESUS The Secret of the Kingdom Chip will have its charity premiere benefitting the NEW HOP PET RESCUE on Weds of this week so if you are in the mid-Michigan area and want to attend on Nov 18th, 2026 at 7:00 PM. Many of the cast and crew will be present. Admission is simply a donation to the rescue with that keeping 100% of the donation.
3. If you are from afar or unable or not wanting to attend the event the film AI JESUS The Secret of the Kingdom Chip can be streaming on Amazon Prime to rent and buy now. DVD’s are also available for this and the other CDI films that make a great Christmas gift.
4. If you want to see more of ‘Jesus’ presented in a very unique way we invite you to watch THE QUEST TRILOGY streaming on many platforms. In order those films are FORTY NIGHTS, CHASING THE STAR and THE CHRIST SLAYER. Happy Holidays!
5. WILD FAITH CHRISTMAS the follow up to WILD FAITH is now streaming on Amazon Prime and a few other platforms to rent and buy. More platforms keep adding and so far home audiences are enjoying the return to the world. Thank you to all of you who have been waiting for this next installment. Do post your favorite moments on IMDB, Amazon or anywhere you can. This holds true for all our films.
6. SILENT NIGHT IN ALGONA has entered its season and we encourage everyone to enjoy this based on a true story Christmas film. We are in heavy development of the follow up film RETURN TO ALGONA and will be looking to film that in 2027 in Iowa.
7. DEVIL’S PASS is the stylistic dark western that we shot this Fall. The polished edit is complete and I’m looking forward to seeing the story now that it has had the rough edges sanded down. The McGraw’s are very happy with the presentation of the story and it is undergoing some color correction as we speak. Also VFX will start once the film picture is locked as will music and sound design with Dennis Therrian. Follow this files Facebook page and all the film’s pages to stay up on news and get the first teasers. Screen captures have been rolling out and soon I would think the director’s poster and a first teaser will be prepared.

DEVELOPMENT:

I’ve been working with David Gries to put together the investor and sponsor summary for the comedic who-done-it film A CHRISTMAS SEANCE. But ahead of that I’ll be working to seal up the remaining unit commits on RETURN TO ALGONA. I’ve had some good communications with more brands, organizations and such who want to see this next chapter of history preserved. It takes place in 1968 and we already have some great organizations behind us. I will be pulling together more of the team on this project very soon. There is a very cool tie in to the NASA space program which has opened up a few really cool communications.

Also looking to build upon CDI’s new collaboration with our friends in GA I’m reading the second proposed film script. The first was a really fun comedy and this second one is a western. I will be getting into that this week in between my business. Speaking on westerns I’ve said before we have eight 44 min TV shows for a season one of WILD FAITH: HASTINGS. But knowing that budget can often come with too many strings attached I’ve just finished my first draft of WILD FAITH 3. I will be polishing over the next couple weeks. But if WILD FAITH CHRISTMAS follows the successful trend of the first WILD FAITH we’ll either be doing a TV series or a third feature film.

On the screenplay tip I will also be finishing the first draft of MAN’S BEST FRIEND 2. Brad Pitts new soldier dog film has been getting a big marketing push. If you enjoyed that film HEART OF THE BEAST you will likely enjoy MAN’S BEST FRIEND. The original gets asked about often with the two main questions being, What happened to Paul? And, When does the sequel happen? It all starts with a strong blue print.

WRAP UP:

Lions are winning in Germany so far. I’m looking forward to the week ahead as we draw closer to the holidays. That usually includes a few Thanksgiving feasts and a few Christmas gatherings. It has gotten very cold here in central Michigan but no snow as of yet. I will be happy to see some of the film family on Weds and raise some money for a very good cause. Animals are always a good cause in my book. I might try to do some more winterizing today and tonight the wood stove will be kicking.

On the personal activities I made some venison jerky that turned out really good. I might bottle up the wine that I have ready which is my Chuck Norris Berry Ka-Pow! I do want to make a run of beer but we will see. The Paw-Paw Surprise wine is almost gone. I might pick a Viking Day to swing some axes here soon too. Most of the leaves are down and Fall is in full effect.

I’m going to sign off here soon and go eat some breakfast and watch the Lions. I hope all of you are having a good year and getting by even with your own challenges. I can tell you that progress is made step by step. Many get upset because they don’t see the big progress. Everyone wants to take that big step but more often success is a series of smaller steps. Otherwise you often don’t learn the lessons you need and are not prepared properly. I have always believed that if I do one thing a day that adds up and now I do a dozen things on any given day. It is what really puts distance between doers and dreamers. Now dreaming is important but you must do. And also equally important is to know when to have patience. Work in the wrong area is just wasted work. Work smart! Alright my friends I’m going to wish you all a good day. We will talk next week and I’ll have some good reflections from our event and more. Coffee Cheers! – DJ
