100 Years of a Hemet Presbyterian Church

This is a very cool 15 minute video that we finished during the Super Bowl for the 100th Anniversary Celebration that the First Presbyterian Church of Hemet is having this weekend. It started in December 1908 when Hemet was just beginning as a town. We talked to the historian at the church, the choir members, current and past pastors and church members. The high point of the church was in the 1970s when they built a very large and modern church in place of the old church. They are having a harder time than they used to now that everyone in Hemet is getting foreclosed on and people are moving away like crazy. There are less people and more social problems to deal with. Watch it during your lunch break!

A Life Story

As you may remember back in October we had the privileged of making Ray and Sonja a love story for their wedding day. That was a great day.

Unfortunately, this past January Sonja’s father passed away. Leaving three children, a wife and many friends. We were asked by the family to make a “life story” video to be shown at his funeral. When we made this video Maurice had less than a week to live. Yet the family was still upbeat and able to recount the memories they had of him and who he was.

This is a short clip- the entire video is 30 minutes in length… but hopefully it will give you taste of who he was and the legacy he has left behind as Lord and Master. ;-)

Congressional Biography

Since Laura Richardson is now a Congresswoman, we thought we would look at a video we made for her last December. At that point in her career, she had just been elected as Assemblywoman. How times change in 9 months. That is a meteoric rise! This video looked at the projects she took on as a City Council Member in Long Beach. Each councilmember and community groups she worked with were used to structure the story. Her mother and sister, who are rarely seen also appear with comments of love and affection. We used many of the skills we use to fashion Love Stories to make this video. Biographies about political leaders and corporate executives have a story to tell, just like the story of love between our couples! Enjoy!
