Friday we went to the International Christian Film and Music Festival in Orlando. It was the third year we have gone. We watched three feature films and two short films. They were all very good.
The gentleman holding the sign wrote and produced the film entitled
Right Before you Eyes. The story is based on his life. He was a down and out alcoholic, homeless, and has an autistic son. He found recovery at the Bethesda Mission in Harrisburg. In the movie he told his story on a train ride (old Colebrook train) to a man. He was on the way to see his autistic son after being at the mission. The ending was very well done. In the credit Myerstown, PA was listed.
The man he is talking to wanted to be his distributor of the movie. If you ever see it at the theater go to it.
He and his wife live in Lebanon,PA with his son (the blurry right image).
We also so a film called
The Order of Rights about a young man trying to stop his girl friend from having an abortion. Interesting arguments. The last feature film we watched was
Faith, Hope and Love which was a little lighter and remind me of a Hallmark film. It was a bout a father who had lost his wife three years ago and his daughter matches him up with her dance teacher. It was a nice day of entertainment.
Saturday afternoon we went to Tavares Civic Center to a free electric violin concert by Jared.
He played music for Cirque du Soleil in New York for 12 years. Then Trans-Siberian Orchestra with this electric violin. He has toured all over the world.
He was excellent and I would recommend listening to his music.
