College Revolutionized Update

Greetings everyone. I'm still working on that series of blog posts; don't worry, they're on the way. But I wanted to give you an update on Hedrick Brothers latest production College Revolutionized. Around nine last night, I received an email informing me that our film was not accepted as a semifinalist. Obviously, it's disappointing. After all, no matter what scale your project is, every filmmaker becomes extremely passionate and frankly obsessed with his film that it is sometimes hard to let it go.

With that said, I agree with the judges ultimate decision. Technically, the documentary just wasn't up to par. When Jonathan and I decided to extend the film and shoot for the submission deadline, we only had one week. All glory to God we performed all 3 stages of production in that period of time. I am extremely thankful that God gave us the grace to see it through to completion, but making a movie in a week puts many restraints around what can be accomplished. I believe, technically, the film could have been much better if we had more time. A big thank you goes to Scott Patrick of Blue View Records and to Nicholas! Scott, it's always a blast being in your studio. Thanks for giving hours of your time to help us out at last minute. Nicholas, thanks for being the best Best Boy! I know for a fact that we couldn't have completed filming without you.

I do have some exciting news. I talked with several Ace Wonder buddies last night and I'm pleased to announce that J&J Prodcutions dramatic short film No Time, was accepted as a semi-finalist. Fantastic job on your project Joe and Jerica! I look forward to seeing it on the big screen and pray that God will continue to bless you both in your future endeavors :)

What's next for College Revolutionized? We're working on that right now. In the mean time, enjoy this trailer I put together.

In Christ,

Josh
