Even families with savings accounts and plans for emergency situations can find themselves unprotected from the devastating effects of bad weather, and in certain circumstances, homeless. A recent article...

My authenticity was challenged in prison

ScottOwenMoore — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:04:39 +0000

My authenticity was challenged in prison. I wasn’t incarcerated for committing a crime, but I was certainly a prisoner of ignorance. It took the wisdom of an “outlaw” to set me free. It was 2008 and Amelia and I were in Guatemala to receive our second adopted son, Elliot. We traveled to Guatemala several times...

Diving Into Documentary Production

In 2008, Athentikos was founded through a calling of authentic response to tell inspiring stories of hope through the art of story. Over the years, we have sought to do so in a way that is self-sustaining. But now, as we begin the process of marketing our second documentary, Becoming Fools, we are unfortunately little...

A Filmmaker’s Response to Film Festivals

Marko — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:29:37 +0000

Film festivals are a mixed bag when it comes the effectiveness of exposure for a film. On one hand, getting your film shown at a film festival instantly gains you a laurel, you know, one of those leafy little graphics wrapped around the film festival name. You’re proud to show it off on any postcard, movie poster...
