More Excitement

Yes prayers are answered. I just had a 3 way conference call with a very important person involved with the film and now have word that we should move forward with a television episodic show based on the film. The idea has come across our minds and now have to make it happen. August 1st will be our day coming up for the casting/auditions call for the band members who will then go into the studio several months after they are signed and will also work on the promo for the the show. We will have the script written for the promo and will shoot soon after. Things are happening and this is what we have been waiting for. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted on further developments. Rock on!

Latest News

We went out on a scouting venture looking at some talent at a local music school and witnessed some awesome musicians in all ages. These kids age range from 8 all the way up in their teens and have a love for music. We met some pretty kool teachers as well and they work out really well with the youth. We listen to many cover songs and were just blown away at how far they have come. We also got word that there will be up to 30 plus auditioners coming out to our auditions August 1st and it's growing everyday. There's some pretty awesome times coming in the near future and we are getting pumped up as the days go by. We also made a contact with a local instrument maker who can custom make our bands guitars and bass in any way we design. We also have some interviews coming up with a local newspaper , radio station and music magazine that will help promote the band as well as the film. Stay tuned, and thanks for all of your prayers...Rock on!!!

Great Meeting

Just to touch base and let everyone out there who actually read our blogs; We had a very successful 3 way conference call Thursday the 9th with our casting and music director and we received very good feedback and ideas to add to the story as well as the format of the film. We adjusted the casting/auditions notices and are getting ready for the August 1st call. This past Sunday was even better; We went to Church and the pastors prayed over the project. The service was taught by our youth pastor and He was a huge inspiration for the film. We met with our Film's Music Director after Church Sunday and met his family for the first and listened to some original songs he is working on and had a blast. It was an awesome experience filled with the fact that this film is moving forward and have made new friends along the way. Stay tuned, there's new information coming in everyday. We are stoked and hope you will be too. God bless, stay safe and Rock On!
