April Meeting Udate

April’s meeting was by far the best meeting this year. So many things are happening here at DCFM that it is hard to keep up! Especially exciting this month was a visit by Mr. George Escobar. If you don’t know who he is, let me introduce you.

Mr. Escobar is the founder of the Advent Film Group, a film studio dedicated to producing Christ-honoring films. In fact, their first feature film, Come What May, will be available very soon! Check out the latest info for this project here.

The entire DCFM group was excited to hear Mr. Escobar’s in-depth presentation on filmmaking. He covered such topics ranging from Biblical foundations to legal matters regarding film production to efficient models concerning distribution. We were all ears as he gave practical advice concerning our upcoming project the Measure of a Man. It was truly an afternoon of unmatched learning, and Mr. Escobar, if you are reading this, "thank you".

Mr. Escobar was gracious enough to let us film his presentation. The DCFM team had a three camera set-up and let me say, it was quite an experience! We definitely learned from this. Live filming compared to on set filming can not be compared. However, the footage turned out nicely; and if anyone is interested in obtaining a copy, they will be available on Mr. Escobar’s site soon.

Let me say right now, that if anyone has been thinking about coming to a meeting, but just hasn’t yet—now is the time! No matter what role in filmmaking you play, or even if you don’t even know if you like filmmaking, we are here for you! The group has dramatically grown since its founding last year, and we love to have people drop by.

We all love pictures, so we will be getting some of those to you very soon.

Until next time,

The DCFM team
