Rich's world

After many hours of prayer, talking with wife and going over and over it in my head, I've taken the plunge and signed with Nashville Speakers Bureau.  They handle all the top talent in the entertainment industry and I'm privileged to be a a part of the team. 

So, if you'd like to schedule an event with me, you can contact Tim Grable at tim@nashspeakers.com or call 615-263-4143.  Or you can just go to www.richpraytor.com and fill out the online form and I'll take care of the rest. 

So anyway, I'm off to Tampa, FL tomorrow to perform for a small group's appreciate banquet.  I love doing those kind of events because everyone is laid bad and ready to laugh.  Also, I'm excited about sleeping in a hotel room, by myself, without the kids in the next room screaming for some water.  But when I get back I always tell my wife how horrible it was to sleep in a quiet, comfortable, clean (not really) bed without any interruption from the kids. 

 Have a great weekend everyone,

 Rich

Our family just got back from camping in the mountains of Colorado.  OK, let me clarify, we stayed at a campground that rented cabins with full kitchens, a living room, running hotwater and a coffee maker.  My wife thinks we were 'roughing' it.  Especially since we didn't have cell phone reception. 

We went fishing, hiking, toasted smores by the fire and my daughter learned that belly flopping into a mud puddle is not the best idea in the world.  It looks deep but there's only a couple inches of water. 

I did a lot of fishing with my buddy Larry who is basically a pro fly fisherman.  He can catch a humpback whale with is fly rod.  Me, on the other hand, caught some bushes that were behind me with my fly rod.  I lost more flies than I care to remember.  Actually, I lost count so I can't remember. 

But we didn't catch anything that week.  Apparently, all the fish were in the middle of the lake at the bottom because the lake had dropped about 6 feet in the last month.  We were fishing off shore so we didn't stand a chance of landing anything. 

Just as the lake dropped, sometimes our lives come across trouble.  When that happens, get to the deepest and safest part of your life as you go through that time.  Your family, friends and most importantly, our Lord. 

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
