Father's Day Films

Justinian the Pendragon: A Worthy Father Figure
"The opening scenes of Pendragon set the tone for the entire film. In the interactions between father and son, you see a father who lives up the God-given calling that all fathers have. He imparts vision, challenges his son to a heavenly calling, he gives an example of work ethic and courage, he trains his son to follow and glorify God and makes his love for his son clear.

If you have father who you’d like to honor this June, or if you know a young father who you’d like to inspire, I highly recommend Pendragon as a Father’s Day gift. You can watch the trailer or purchase the film here."

I'll Need You Dad

"Kids have many influences in their lives that often steer them off course from Christ. Many of their responses in life's situations will feel natural to them yet will leave them empty and alone. Dads, though, have a unique opportunity to model Christ's example to their children even when no one else will."

Pendragon takes home "Best of Show"

"Last week, the 2009 Indie Distribution Festival awarded prizes to one hundred and fifty of this year’s best independent pictures. Of the films recognized, Pendragon was one of five honored with a Best of Show.

“A tightly-crafted, action-filled epic set in Britain’s dark ages,” The Indie notes. “As the barbarian fleets descend on the coast, the people of Britain defend themselves and their faith. The film has stunning visuals and a powerful score.”"

Pendragon - Rolling once again...

“Lighting good…checking audio levels. Ok, camera speed, and…Action!”

"After a period of inactivity, the Burns Family Studios film crew is back in action. Not as much action as say, an epic sword fight, but filming again all the same. Last weekend, Aaron traveled down to ‘Studio B’ in Saint Louis to work on an electronic press kit with Chad and Nick."

"The Penny" 4th Rough Cut

This is the film that I worked on for 6 weeks in '08 from Thanksgiving into December. Due to some scheduling conflicts I had to miss some of the extra shooting they did earlier this year, but I'm grateful that God allowed for me to go back and join the team for the last pickup shoot at the end of May. We endured through some rough filming, but it was great to see everyone again! With filming complete, post production is moving forward and according to the Filmweavers blog, the edit is really coming together!

"This past week the official fourth version of the rough edit was wrapped up. Included in this edit for the first time were the final scenes we just finished up shooting last week. All the production audio has now been synced up with the film as well (previous edits only included the camera sound) so we can here all the lines clear as a bell instead of having to turn our speakers way up."

Pixar's UP

I have heard nothing but good reviews of this film and then to top it all off, I ran across this article by Isaac Botkin on Outside-Hollywood.

"Pixar is a film company that is redefining family movies, but they are also forcing the rest of us to redefine how we classify movies in general. Up is a perfect example of this. At first glance, it has all the tired clichés of almost every other animated movie: the grumpy old man, the spunky kid, the gravel-voiced Britishy villain, and the dopey comedy relief animal sidekicks. Fortunately, Up is really nothing like any other movie.

Up is their second post-Disney project, and I think it may reflect a more settled, hopeful position, and certainly a more mature storytelling style. Pete Docter and Bob Peterson have excelled themselves technically, and artistically, and in doing so, made one of the most pro-family, pro-children, pro-happiness films ever."
