I decided to type this the night before since tomorrow will be a day full of family. I’ve had three pork shoulders in a smoker pretty much most of the day. A mustard and applewood rub – it smells wonderful. While preparing for company I’ve enjoyed the slew of biblical films playing on TV in the background. It was a nice surprise to be reminded that we’re participating when I woke to a sent promo clip showcasing “The Christ Slayer” from https://my.upfaithandfamily.com/the-christ-slayer . It was sent by a friend/associate with some kind words.
Today I also noted “The Book of Ruth” was still selling strong at Meijer. Furthermore I was unexpectedly stopped by a fan of the CDI films. It’s nice when you occasionally can meet the good folks watching and supporting your films. “The Christ Slayer” is about to finish up a run in El Paso, Texas. It was great to play a few cities in the great state of Texas. I hope you Texans enjoyed the film and go back to watch part 1 “Forty Nights,” and part 2 “Chasing the Star” on home video. Part 3 is also available on digital and DVD now if the film isn’t playing near you. I know Yuma, AZ is working hard to get a showing there. I’m not sure what Harkins has been so stubborn but we are exploring a few other avenues. So, big screen or small screen (Not so small these days) please do make THE QUEST TRILOGY part of your viewing tradition. I think as more people realize that the three films interconnect that a few questions will be answered. There is a bit of a puzzle/mystery woven into the three films.
“Wild Faith” – Wild West Michigan style
A series of theatrical showings will continue but the home video release will be upon us. Here are some dates concerning the upcoming “Wild Faith” home video release.
Physical DVD – Warehouse has confirmed they just received the DVDs – They will start shipping out pre-orders. Family Video is also carrying the title.
Digital Purchase – It will go live on 5/6
For digital rent – it will go live on 6/24
MillCreek is repping Wild Faith into Wal-Mart – DVD + Digital will be released on 7/2 into Wal-Mart
“MBF: Man’s Best Friend” – This film is moving its way through dialog and sound design. The post work is closing in on the first hour and once we do a first viewing and a second pass we’ll be onto the music. This film should go to theaters in late Summer with home video in time for Christmas. I think people will enjoy this story.
My ‘Happy Easter’ picture
“LOST HEART” – Speaking of story, this film has got me very excited. It was recently proclaimed by a director friend of mine to possibly be some of my finest writing. I think what it has is great characters and a series of quirky and unique situations. Deep drama wrapped in laughter as we realize life is short. We have some great cast already announced and some exciting additions to announce in the weeks ahead. I’m having a first time call with one of our possible co-stars this week. She is truly a great actress and it would be an honor to story tell with her. Hint: She worked with George Lucas early in her career.
Next week it is back to working hard to lock in the last few pieces of this puzzle. We are in talks on sponsorships and product placement from many fine companies. If you want to discuss a business arrangement feel free to reach out to perrydj@aol.com – it might take me a few days to get to your email but rest assured I will.
Aside from these projects we have a lot of development underway. I’ll go into more of this as things fall into place. I’m going to let things settle here and after a few pages in a book I will likely drift off. Let tomorrow be a day of pause and reflection.
Happy Easter!
DJ
