Big Day in Kauffman

The big day arrived in Kauffman, TX yesterday as the HeuMoore team kicked off their first day of production on the highly anticipated film, The Widow's Might.


Written with typical HeuMoorian wit, creativity and Gator-sense, you'll love where this compelling story takes you--on a journey with the families you know and friends you need to meet, to a little town where the problems are big, enemies seem bigger, and principles stand taller than them all.


Filming for this musical drama will take place in San Antonio and Kauffman, TX on homesteads, horses, town halls and western sets. Two of DCFM's members are on crew and in the cast--John Moore, obviously is directing and acting, and Evan Ramos plays....well, you'll have to wait and see which character he is, but I think you'll enjoy seeing Evan in a different role than we've seen him before. Some of the other familiar faces are our friends James Burgess, who is Director of Photography, and fellow filmmakers Jeremiah W and Mike Thorn who are present for the action as well!


The group would greatly appreciate your prayers for them during this two-week shoot. They've been working very hard in preparation for this film, but the unexpected always happens on set and tests always come. Please pray that they'd remain close to the Lord, dependent on Him, looking to Him, and in constant prayer. Pray that there would be efficiency in how the departments work together, and that the project would stay on schedule (that means special prayers for the Producer and Assistant Director! lol).



I haven't gotten a headcount from John, but it sounds like a large crew. Wherever you want to draw the technical lines between actual crew and general support base, I want you to try to picture some of what this effort looks like.

You have two brothers in the Lord.
You have each of their families.
You have their church.
And all of the families in their church.
You have everyone on cast and crew.
And all their families.
You have all the folks who have just volunteered their time and presence and help and prayers.
You have their families.
You have all those who have invested time and resources in preparation for this film.
You've probably even got folks who are caught in the flow of things and have no idea what great works of God are swirling around them.

I'm not trying to overdo the idea of family here, but families do increase numbers. And I'm not overstating things. This is huge. And so is the effort going into this project. Especially in prayer. In talking with John Moore on a number of occasions leading up to the shoot, he has referenced most all of these people and their involvement. And done so with much gratitude.

So, a) I want you to realize that God has brought a lot of folks together in His wise and wonderful sovereignty. And b), I want you try to imagine what the set must be like. :D There are a lot of people working together, some of whom know each other, some of whom don't. And there's a LOT of work to be done. There are those not on set who are laboring in prayer. Those who are preparing meals and other resources. There are lighting and sound technicians, camera operators, managers, photographers, actors, set designers, siblings...... There are a lot of people, and there's a lot to be done. At times, so many details that not even those handling them know what they all are. But God does. And God is in control. And God is the One Who has been leading this project on and showing Himself so incredibly strong in the behalf of those whose hearts are directed toward Him. God has been doing amazing things, and will continue to. Please pray for not only the success of the film itself, but that God would continue His perfect work in the life of everyone there. Every time I talk to John Moore, just hearing the update of what God is doing blows me away.


So, please cover them with your prayers, and keep informed! For all the details, stay tuned to John and David's blog where they'll be updating you with news, photos and maybe even videos! You can also sign up on the movie website, view a trailer, and get more info on this exciting film!
