Behind the scenes: The First Official Trailer...and my first voice-over studio experience!10/11/2020 But, in the hidden places, a loving God is searching for His long forgotten treasure... Back in February, I joined Roy & Christopher on an amazing journey to India. I hauled my upgraded camera gear just about everywhere we went, and I was searching for the moments where God was working around us. Although the trip was far from what we expected, I knew this time though, that I wanted to film and produce a documentary to bring the story to life in a new way. God was stirring my heart from the last trip in 2014 (check out the India Mission 2014 YouTube Video featured on our Media Page) and I could sense that this time, God was going to give us something really amazing to share with you all. And if I can make a humble brag - this project is going to be one of my best ones yet! God has been helping me develop my creative craft, and I believe it is only going to further extend our reach and influence in the seasons to come. When we returned from our trip, God really blessed me with a new job and the ability to purchase some new equipment to help in the editing/videography process. Meanwhile, Roy continued to press onward in search of employment and supernatural provision, all the while, God was moving things around in many ways. It just so happened that amidst the Covid-19 global pandemic, we were able to spend time recalibrating and refining ourselves in the season of rest. Fast-forward to October 2020, and I am back in Charlotte, NC with Roy, his beautiful and hilarious wife, Bessie (International Relations) and we were able to spend some time enjoying the beauty of nature in North Carolina & South Carolina. After a refreshing time together, Roy & I were able to spend a few hours with a new friend, Kurt Wilson, a talented musician and Audio Engineer with his own private recording studio. I shared our documentary trailer with him and discussed the potential of doing a voice-over together, and to my surprise, he offered to help us for FREE! Now, I won't lie, I usually don't have any issues speaking in front of others or throwing on my "performance voice" for acting, but this was actually my very first time in a studio recording my very own work! A day earlier, I was finishing up the writing, and I felt confident that the voice-over was going to be just what we needed to take the trailer to the next level. After two short takes, we had it! And now, it is my great honor to present the official trailer to you here... Wow! This gets me excited to finish the project, and believe me, when the full documentary is ready to be released, it will be even more euphoric. If you enjoyed it, and you're reading this blog, chances are you may be interested in partnering with us and pre-ordering your very own digital copy of the film when it's ready to be released. I will have a few promotional opportunities coming up over the next year while finishing the editing and post-production of the film prior to its release. In light of the massive project ahead of me, I want to offer you, our beloved partners and friends, the opportunity to join in and support us through the finish line!
