You co-directed Come What May with Manny Edwards. Describe your approach to the overall filmmaking process.
The basic ideologies and sense of cooperation created a great atmosphere. The standard premise is that filmmakers by nature are rebellious and egotistical. We ratchet that behavior down and humbly ask ourselves: “How can we serve and what is it that God wants to tell in His story?”
Describe your background.
The film That’s Entertainment had a great impact on my filmmaking career. After viewing that film, I knew I wanted to be involved in the filmmaking process. When I began my professional career, I prayed to God and asked Him “Where do you want me to go?” Starting a new company was a challenging decision. You can go in any direction. The business aspect of the company is particularly challenging. You really need a good sense of the local marketplace and entertainment, so you can make business decisions accordingly. I have three sons. My oldest freshman attends Patrick Henry College, where we shot much of Come What May while the other two are still at home. All my boys were homeschooled much like many of this film’s cast and crew.
What future projects can we expect?
We have a film called One Good Man currently in development with Brightline Pictures, headed by Manny Edwards. It’s a father and son baseball story reminiscent of Facing the Giants in style and tone.
