Christian Filmmakers Academy // San Antonio, Texas {2012} - Part 1

I know y'all are dying for pictures of our trip to Texas last month. Right? Well, I have a lot to share & tell that it will have to be shown in two posts. Are you ready for a short virtual trip to San Antonio? Let's go!

The Academy was a blast! Me and my sisters were able to meet up with Mrs. Morecraft {we took her online writing class & Gabrielle and I are FB friends with her}. She is such a sweet & wonderful lady - with a beautiful voice that we all love! We also met Mr. John Fornof, Anna & Elizabeth Botkin, Esther Leclerc, Andrea Reins, Atlanta, and several other girls....

At the Academy we learned so much! We learned about theology, the history of Hollywood, Cecil B DeMille, branding, post-production, story writing, Alfred Hitchcock {Isaac Botkin had some great insight on some of his films}, a bit about TV Shows, and so much more! 

In the next post I'll talk about the Film Festival {where I got to meet fellow bloggers and pinterest users}.

  3. Your trip looks absolutely marvelous!! I hope to be able to go next year. :) I hope they have the same speakers, because I really want to hear Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick's. I think they've been regulars at the SAICFF for the last few years.
