I know...it's been awhile, forgive me...
Well, no adventures this weekend. I had a TV media party last night, which was good to have some new faces over again and get to know some people we normally don't hang out with.
Speaking of TV media, I met with my director to write up deadlines for the short film we are supposed to turn in this semester. I haven't received the footage I'm supposed to edit yet, but it's supposed to a documentary which should be pretty easy. It's also good because I feel my ministry is to make Christian based documentaries and short films (maybe a full length feature film one day). Media is such a massive and powerful tool of influence and the Christian community really isn't utilizing it like they should. Most Christian films are such poor quality that they make the audience feel like they just went back 15 years. No one today wants to watch something that looks like it's being played off an old VHS tape. I want to make films with some bite to them. Show an audience (Christian and secular alike) something that will open their minds of convict them in some way. Something that can't just be turned off and forgotten about, but something that will keep people will think about long after the credits have rolled.
We have a break coming up, and I desperately want to gather a group of my more out going friends (there's a lot of them here. Not surprising seeing most of them traveled across the globe to get here) to go on a camping trip in either the Blue Mountains or some lone beach up north somewhere so we can spend our days surfing and nights around a camp fire or in our hammocks gazing up at the star studded skies. I'm not sure what we are going to do, but I know one thing for certain; if I spend my entire break pacing around my house, I'm going to go lose it. A free spirited beast like myself should never be held captive in this cage of dry-wall for too long.
