Welcome!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our blog! This is my first post here, but I plan to continue posting updates as we weave our way closer to production, and beyond. As my countdown at the bottom says, we are 14 days away from production! This number is very scary, and if I let myself think too hard I begin to have mini panic attacks. However, I must simply continue breathing and move on.

Yesterday was a very productive day as we continued our search for locations. Myself and Hannah (my script supervisor) drove all through downtown fresno and scouted various locations. We were blessed to find several that we are very excited about, and have already begun inquires with the owners. We will be continuing this process this weekend as we head upstate to San Francisco tomorrow to scout for locations there.

From the technical side of things the production is continuing to fly together. So far all of my rentals are available during the time I need them, which is a MAJOR blessing. However, one of the only big stumbling blocks remaining is insurance. I had been hoping that I could avoid this abyss of complication, however it has met me head on. I need a policy of $1,000,000 in liability insurance to progress with my rentals, and pulling film permits. This actually isn't AS bad as it seems because I only need the policy for about 10 days. However, considering how I only have 14 days before production I need the process to move very fast. Please keep this in your prayers this weekend as beyond as we continue to try to move forward on this process.

Everyday I continue to be blessed by unexpected sponsors and contacts from every direction. This is a major help, and God is definitely keeping me busy! I hope you all have an amazing 4th of July weekend! Feel free to follow this blog and continue to check back here as I chart our journey.
