ACCFM 2016

September 24, 2016Conference, Friends, VideoMicahThe Derksens

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.

Brett Varvel: House of Grace Films– The Board, The War Within, and upcoming film Disciples in the Moonlight

Joel Steege: Little Crew Studios– Runner from Ravenshead, The Defense of New Haven

Greg & Dallas Lammiman: Moviemakers– Remember, My Grandpa Detective, and upcoming film Mayflower II

Kurtis Kristianson: Spindrift Photography- Fort Mac Samaritan’s Purse interviews, Adventure photography

Ted Byfield- journalist, started Alberta Report, helped put together Christian history books

Andrew & I with Joel, Harrison, and Addison Steege (Little Crew Studios).

And with Brett Varvel (House of Grace Films)

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.

Colorado Hiking

March 16, 2016FamilyMicahThe Derksens

On the last full day we were in Jamestown, we left work a little early to hike the mountain behind the town. A forest fire had come through in 2003, and most everything is still bare!

At the top! The mountain is over 1100 feet tall. It took us just under an hour to climb and a little less to descend.

With Jesse being my only companion, I mostly took pictures of him.

Don”t Fall! Sorry about the bandana, somebody had tied it there.

It was hot! The work site was already in the shade, and around 5 °C. Up there it was still maybe around 15 °C!

After a little while at the top, I climbed down a bit to take some pictures of the rock face we were on.

Zoom out!

It was very steep! Well, not quite THAT steep:)

“For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.” Amos 4:13
