The students first chose a story that we found was not really adaptable to the limitations of our filming.  They wanted to do a story that had a lot of wars and the like.  I am not opposed to filming a war movie, it was simply a matter of being on a very small budget and limited in our cast members.

So, the students chose a parable: the one about the Two Sons, one who went to the field after saying “no” and the other one who said he would go to the field and then never went.  The filming was very short for this year, and the students already began editing last Monday.

I have been pleased with their work overall-I am pleasantly surprised to find they really enjoy editing and are skilled at it.  It is satisfying to me as a teacher to see students jump right in, and enjoy the work while learning.

I will post the movie here when it is complete.  It is not as complex as our other films have been, but it is good for beginners.
