An Update from the Producer

Hi everyone, it's Saphrin! A lot has been happening on our end. We are 21 days away from heading to LA to film the majority of our footage for The Measure of a Man. The team is EXCITED! We are right now working on fine-tuning the details & placing all the necessary reservations (plane tickets, hotel, rental car, etc.)

An answer to prayer has come in the form of Dallas Jenkins & Stephen George, two Christian filmmakers who have made themselves available to our many questions! Just knowing that we have two very experienced filmmakers to ask for advice, oh it makes my job seem so much easier!

Funding. Known by most filmmakers as the "yucky" part of a project, it can be long, hard & frustrating to no end. But thankfully, we have almost all of our $8,000 budget! On April 18, five of us are headed down to Houston to attend and film a fundraiser that the highschoolers of Northland Christian School are coordinating for us, which should put us well above the needed amount of money. Praise the Lord!

The more Steph & I have had the chance to discuss, pray about & further define our ideas for the project we have realized that we want it to expose the emptiness of our lives without Christ & show the fullness of Nick's life with the Lord. We are now attempting to clarify our questions for Nick & the Life Without Limbs team with that in mind. It has by far been the hardest part of pre-production, but we are slowly but surely making progress.

Please be praying for our entire team as we prepare to head to California in less than a month!!

Until next time,

Saphrin
