ICVM


Wow, time to say goodbye to new friends, see you next year. The sessions were incredible, the way God was moving through the entire conference was overwhelming. Never have I been so in awe of what is happening in the film industry.

It was less than year ago that I began researching who was producing, directing, casting the good films that were coming out, those films that had a Christian perspective. 7 months ago I was invited to audition at the 168 Project in Burbank, and since then I feel I've just taken off and now I'm accelerating!

After completing Stealing Home & getting nominated best supporting actress, I went to a "faith based acting" seminar in Charlotte. Bonnie Johnson and Gary Moore told me about the Gideon Film Festival and the ICVM, and now here I am!

Gideon far surpassed all my expectations and so I was bit concerned about the ICVM. Here alone (Mom & Jim were with me in NC), Bonnie, Ted & Torrey weren't going to be here, and I was hoping for not sure what, but I didn't want to be disappointed. I wasn't!

This afternoon was the peak, after the final film, The Bill Collector, went for prayer and never have I experienced anything like this. We were in small groups, one by one individual concerns were expressed, and then the group prayed for the person. To say the hand of God was upon us would be an understatement, He was everywhere, encircling, enmeshing, loving us all. I must have lost a quart of fluid, I was offered a kleenex, but needed a towel!

I will remain enthusiastic, focused, empowered by the Holy Spirit and loving prayer. I could not have predicted nor asked for the gift I was given this afternoon, thank you my friends, thank you Lord!
