Doug's Blog: Mother and Daughter Appreciation for Filmmaker's Academy

Just wanted to thank you for the fabulous film academy that my daughter Caroline and I attended. We were so encouraged by the teaching and the examples set by the men who taught. We had opportunity to personally interact with most of the speakers as well as sit under their teaching and this was such a blessing! In addition to all of the great theology, doctrine, and vision, we especially benefited from Ken Carpenter’s session featuring a mock production meeting. It was so practical for the young filmmakers there like my daughter and for us who are trying to support them. I know my daughter would love some more hands-on type workshops at next year’s academy and we were intrigued by the idea of actually making a short film during the academy with a team from those attending. Thank you to the Botkins too who worked tirelessly, I know, in preparing for the academy and took time to talk to so many people, including us. As always we so appreciate Doug’s vision for this industry and pray it will come about. Thank you so much. In Christ, Cathie B.
