Hi everyone!
Had a great time with the folks in Orlando at the Premiere Cinemas 14 theater. I met tons of fabulous folks who’ve shared such amazing stories. A million thanks to Alan, Tony, and Nelson for bringing the movie here. By the way, this screening makes us officially eligible for an Academy Award nomination. Crazy. Here are some photos of the location and of the event.

So we make our way across the US and find ourselves tired and excited and pulled over by the police and laughing and (from time to time) we sleep. Through it all we are managing to film a documentary. The stories and faces we have seen are more amazing than the words we have to describe them. Our hope is to capture some of this journey and put it out there for the world to see. It started in Tiskilwa, IL, and has carried across the the north and northeast and up into Canada. Today we are breathing and catching up in Illinois. Here are a few pictures to bring it into perspective.

So, Canada. Toronto to be exact. We crossed the border with minimal difficulty. Although the question was brought up, “Have any of you guys been arrested?” To which we replied, “Um… arrested?” We defaulted to answering questions with questions. After a bit more in depth explanation of our legal histories the Canadian border patrol let us ALL through. We hit Niagara Falls and booked it to our host church/community in downtown Toronto. The city is beautiful. It is perched on the edge of Lake Ontario. The city is very diverse in terms of faces, races, languages, and architecture. They have a law in the city that won’t allow folks to chop down trees over a certain diameter without a permit. Nice! I can’t wait to get back up there and sink in a bit seeing as how we sort of skipped across the surface with our short visit. Thanks Canada. We got back across the US border without a problem… We simply stated our purpose and presented our passports. The border guard waved us through with a smile. Thanks US.

It’s exciting to see folks interested in talking about this movie while still in production! Honestly, we’ve got suuuuuuuch a long way to go to really have this piece ready to show, but we’re honored to have people asking the hard questions about who we are and what we’re trying to accomplish with this film. On behalf of the 10 people currently in production on this movie, I’d like to thank the folks at Jesus Radicals for starting the dialog. Stop by and add to the conversation, and let us know if there are other forums and groups talking about these important topics!
Thanks so much for walking with us on the journey,
~jamie
