Free Donuts at the Revolution

Occupy Wall Street are giving away Free Donuts

The Free Donut Revolution has begun.  

 

The Shorts I have been creating

 

It's been a long time since I've put the un-official Free Donuts baseball cap on, but just wanted to update on a few recent short interviews, youtube video blurbage and short films. 

First is with a brilliant teacher called Ian Clayton, from New Zealand.  He taught a few seminars here on the glory realm, translocation, and the DNA of God.   I was able to get twenty minutes interviewing him.  Here's a taste. 

I'm still working on a near-perfect short film on a Communion  Service with John Crowder, my personal hero and some fundies would say, my personal idol.   There's even an appearance by his cohort in crime, the pirate Dave Vaughan, from Big Brother fame. 

I have helped start up  a series for David Shadbolt on sort of a "Prophecy for Normal Adults."  I was able to shoot a short iPhone conversation with Phyllis Tickle at the Greenbelt Fest.  And, of course, my brutha George "Neo" Elerick and I continue to work together and here's a new channel of the films we've done.  

All of that, plus  I recently spent time with a preacher dude who I keep calling "Buddy" but his real name is Victor Robert Farrell .  He preaches a Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God  type of message, so it's not my kind of thing, but it should make an interesting, conflicting short.    

All of these people I'd consider to be "God's crazy kids" (to paraphrase Bono).  These films  reflect a wide galaxy of theological viewpoints, liturgical practices and rituals.  I guess if you got them all into one room, there'd be a lot of Ecstacy in the midst Battle-- which would make an even more interesting, larger film.  

Now, there's an idea.  Ecstatic Battle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What REALLY makes a film maker successful? One simple strategy...

Being in a room with 370 energised, passionate and determined film makers for a whole weekend is something that inevitably creates an electric atmosphere of possibilities.

Gluten-Free Donuts?

The NY Times article is tempting me to change my blog's name.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prophetic? you decide

This is one of those rare music promos where the film captures the power of the song, and the song enhances the visual.  It's a brilliant vid.

I guess in church we'd call this prophetic, 'cos the band is waving Blue Flags around with a victorious feel to it, there's a bunch of bongos. There's like an army of people and a choir and heavenly cloud mist.  

And the song is proclaiming what could be considered a prophetic word: the dog days are over-- let's get out of the wilderness and into the promised land sort of thing. 

However, there are no lion or eagle paintings in this video, so maybe it's not prophetic.   

guess it's time to make the donuts

Reconsider your church if...

You might want to reconsider the church you are attending if the stage looks more like a platform for the Republican National Convention.

Unless you are a republican, then you might enjoy it.

Lakeland's First Three Minutes

Here's a taster of my film, entitled Lakeland.   It's a 52 minute documentary on The Lakeland Florida outpouring and the ministry of Todd Bentley.  The Lakeland phenomenon began in April 2008, when an outbreak of the Holy Spirit began, and soon the entire charismatic Christian world was involved.    

There were lots of reports of healing, visitations, miracles and other stuff you get during a revival. 

Tens of thousands of people visited the revival in Lakeland, in a short burst of time -- the outpouring lasted about 90 days, before it dissipated.   Many feel this was due to the sin in Todd's life, as he announced a divorce from his wife and was soon re-married to a former intern of his.  

Filming took place in spurts from July 2008 to February of 2010.  We had several delays and setbacks in the editing process, but the film is being mixed now.   

We are planning several films to come out of this project, but this is the main one, and TVF International serve as our Sales Agents, and they are awesome, patient folks. 

As the whole subject of revival, in particular Todd, carries with it a lot of controversy, I just wanted to state a few obvious points, which may or may not disappoint you depending on which tribe or belief system you come from:

1) This is not a miracle-driven testimonial film on how powerful the Florida Outpouring was or is.  Sorry for this, really, I would have loved to have interviewed more people who experienced healing or salvation at the outpouring.   While we do talk to people affected by the ministry there, the film is more of a journey through the revival.    

2) The Film is not an expose or judgement of Todd, or his personal life, although obviously his life is touched upon, from the collapse of the Revival, and his restoration process.   Personally, I believe Todd's still a genuine preacher/teacher/miracle worker and I have done my utmost not to dishonor the guy. (Although some feel differently in their review of the film).       

3) Throughout the film we attempted to show all sides to the story, and to be more fair and balanced by Fox News- so therefore protestors and nay-sayers of charismatic life are included. As the protestors are part of the Body of Christ too, I just don't always agree with the ways the protest is expressed. 

Anyway, enjoy the first few minutes of the film.
