Rich's world

Don't worry, I'm not posting up any icons of mine or going to trash anyone.  I wanted to everyone to know this is Don Johnson from the famous original Miami Vice TV show and actor of numerous movies. 

The reason I posted his photo is because my wife didn't know who he was when our daughter pushed his son down in the Salt Lake City Airport playground.  I didn't know it was Don until I helped up his little boy and apologized to him.  He laughed and said, "Aw, they're just being kids." 

For a second I thought, "Well, that's what you get for trying to have a singing career."  But I kept my mouth shut and just thought it like any good Christian would do. 

Then his wife was sweet and played with my daughter Alyssa and her son until they left to catch their flight.  I never mentioned anything that I recognized him or made some silly joke (I did later though to my wife). 

I realized though that not everyone is so different as we make them out to be.   Even famous people have to wait around at the airport with their kids.  They still deal with problems like most of us do. 

But what I figured out most of all, was that everyone on this earth will have to stand before our Lord in heaven and give an account for their life.  Rich, famous, poor, you name it.  

So next time you get starstruck from someone walking down the street, say a prayer for them...and push down their kids.   

I'm currently working on my first feature film.  The script is done and now we're looking for the most important part...the money.  We have some interest from some investors but it takes time to finally get things going.

 I've learned so much in the last six months about films.  I learned that although actors get a lot of the glory if a film does well, it's the executive producer who really has the power.  They're the ones that put everything together...including the actors. 

I also learned that Hollywood needs and is looking for content.  Less that 10% of all films are made in Hollywood.  Most are produced outside and then sold to one of the huge studios. 

But the most important thing I've learned is that Hollywood needs Christian based films.  They're realizing that the films put out now that glamorize violence, sex and other poopy stuffy.  Films and music direct our culture's thinking so now is the time to put out Christian based films that will change the thinking positively of our culture. 

Have a great day,

Rich
