I've taught, performed and/or directed at the Salvation Army's  TAM Conservatory for 11 of their 15 years. I've only missed it for the Olympics and performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This year it was just as fulfilling and rewarding as ever!

One of the great blessings of The Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp this year was that Paul Leavitt was on hand to do headshots for everyone at no additional charge! I had a beard at the beginning of the camp, and then I shaved it off strategically. Not all of the stages are finished, but her...

We just got back from a pre-release screening of Inside Out, Pixar's look inside our minds. We enjoyed it very much, just not as much as Brett Varvel's The War Within, which took numerous awards last year, looking instead into our souls.

My preference lies mainly in the fact that, according to Ins...
