In the Lila Cockrell Theater.

The Call of Courage screening on Saturday morning at SAICFF.
The only decent shot I could get--it was so quiet in there I was afraid to keep shooting for fear of greatly disturbing the event!


Most of the DCFMers present at SAICFF.


A highlight for us this week was the Award Ceremonies. COC didn't win anything, but JC's other project, Joel's Journey, won the Best Biblical Family Film award!!


The back left corner of the theater absolutely exploded as all of us DCFMers cheered JC and the Morrises.


JC gave some very gracious words in response to winning the award. I don't remember what they were, but I remember thinking they were very appropriate, God-glorifying, and said simply perfect.

You can visit JC's blog and website for more info, and to order your copy of this powerful and inspiring documentary that will touch your heart and strengthen your faith.


DCFMers and lots of friends after the Awards Ceremonies. (minus JC and company, who were at a reception for a bit)


DCFMers.


All the lovely ladies.


Then we all went out to ice cream on the San Antonio Riverwalk. A SAICFF tradition.


Um. Having issues here. Hmm. In any case, this is Steph and Alan--Mrs. Lee and Whitey, respectively, in COC--with their ice cream. Stephanie broke her foot several weeks ago which is why she's being lovingly pushed around by her brother in a wheel chair.


Some very proud siblings.


It was great to see some of y'all in SA! Congrats to all of you who won awards, and congrats to everyone who made a film this year--keep up the good work and keep seeking to shine forth His Truth!

"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake." 2 Corinthians 4:5

Milestones

Well, the Big Day has come and gone, and we are all grateful for all that God has done. The Premiere went very well and it seemed like everyone enjoyed the evening. We loved seeing everyone--thanks for coming out to join us for this special event.

For those that couldn't make it, thank you for your prayers. Friday evening was definitely another time to fully rely on God to help us get done everything that needed to come together. So many details!

For those of you who pre-ordered your DVD, it should be in the mail already, or will be soon, and in your hands shortly! If you missed the window for pre-ordering your copy, no worries--you can still order! Just follow the "Add to Cart" link on our store page. Or, if you'll be at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival and Academy, we'll be there too, and we can give you a copy in person.

Today many of us head to San Antonio for the Festival, and some have already been enjoying a week at the Christian Filmmakers Academy. When we get back, we'll post pictures from the Premiere, as well as our time in San Antonio, and we'll let you know how the film competition went! See you there, or see you here when we get back!!

Susan is just awesome with set and costume design! She had answers and ideas for everything! And a smile to go with it!

You think so, huh?
Oh yeah. You're totally dirtier than I am.
