Imagivation

Merry day after Christmas everyone!

So we listen, right? A few people had noticed that to find any of the film work that we had done they had to dig through pages of blog posts. So after some thinking and work we put together a little something where people can quickly access our video projects.

So what do you think? Good, bad, or indifferent?

One Baby

Tonight the 9 members of the board of managers of the Travis County Healthcare District (TCHD) met in a special meeting to deliberate over a proposed contract with three local abortion providers.

The agreement would use $450,000 in Travis County property taxes to pay for approximately 1,000 abortions in 2010.

Several friends and I were in attendance of the meeting as the board voted 9-0 in favor of the abortion contracts.

After the vote the attendance numbers of the meeting were read aloud to be entered into the public register. However, there was an error which is recorded below.

The meeting reported in attendance:

- 178 total citizens

- 49 signed up to speak in opposition
- 35 signed up to speak in support
- 59 signed in opposition but declined to speak
- 43 signed in support but declined to speak

One Question

While sitting in the room I quickly added the numbers and found the following mistake: 49 + 35 + 59 + 43 = 186

Did anyone catch that?

186 ≠ 178

So who was counted twice? Or should I ask, who wasn’t? Or who was really there? Are any of these numbers accurate?

Seriously, this is supposed to be “official”. The secretaries are paid money (the board is volunteer), this is their job, shouldn’t they be able to at least get fundamental addition correct?

What about the public record? Isn’t that supposed to be… you know… correct?

One Problem

November 21st, Imagivation and Light Studios saw three of their top films screened in the first annual Young Christian Filmmaker’s Festival in Bryan, TX! For Honor, a finalist at the SAICFF, was featured in the “Narrative” category along with Forever, the dramatic music video and our newest major project. As an afterthought, a recut version of Gold Miner was submitted into the “Parables” category. Ironically, our afterthought paid off, being well accepted and winning the category award!

the winning filmmakers

And for all of you out there who worked so hard on Forever, though you were unsung heroes at this festival, it was extremely well-accepted, and even tied for runner-up for audience choice… always one of the most coveted awards at any festival… and was only behind first place by 2 votes! And winning beside, I think that the film spoke an encouraging message to the festival audience, an accomplishment of far greater value unmeasured by votes and awards.

We were all excited to make connections with the people from the Christian film group in Bryan, it was very special to spend time with like-minded believers using their talent to glorify their Creator.
