ACCFM 2016

On September 15-17, Mom, Andrew, and I and some friends from Manitoba, went to the Alberta Conservatory for Christian Film Makers. This was the second time we have gone, and we had a great time and even mom enjoyed the camping (she slept in the van while us 4 guys tented)!

The speaker line-up this year was quite good.

I entered two films into the 3-minute festival. They both were finalists, and Education Without Limits won The Best Documentary award.

 

I will hopefully get a behind the scenes post up soon for A True Witness.

 

This is a shortened version of the  17 minute film we did for the SHBE Conference’s 25th year anniversary this past year.
