This is one of my favor quotes and a great challenge. It’s from William Carey, the founder of The Baptist Missionary Society in 1792.

“Expect great things from God…
Attempt great things for God…”

William Carey – May 1792

Two Saturdays ago, classroom 42 was transformed into a television studio as our inmate/students became crew for the production of the first episode of ABOVE THE LINE.

Frank Cardea, Executive Producer of NCIS was our guest and Julia Denton our hosted.

I don’t know why I was so surprised, but it was like a real half-hour, interview style television program… Shot in Hi-Definition.

Cyndi and I felt like proud parents.

Today’s question comes from my wife, Cyndi. She was watching the History Channel last week and they were talking about how candy manufactures do a great deal of test marketing before they even launch a product. She asked why doesn’t television do the same?

I think that’s a great question. My thought is we probably should. Instead we make TV shows, air them and try and figure if America likes that show. Maybe we should ask the question, “America what do you want to watch on televion?” and then create shows based on those answers. That’s just my thought on it… Give me yours.

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS made the front page…above the fold!

We’re excited to see our first real press coverage. The Santa Clarita Signal sent out a reporter and photographer to cover our first production at the Peter Pitchess Detention Center.

It was a terrific two page story. To see the complete story on-line go to: http://www.the-signal.com/news/article/17370/

We will have photographs from the production posted soon.
