Why do we keep marching forward in something that seems so foolish?
Why do we keep marching forward in something that seems so foolish? Seriously, sometimes I wonder if I am just stubborn or stupid. Either way, we are foolish for marching forward. Today, I finally finished editing Becoming Fools … and … we received our first response back from a film festival in which we submitted […]
Recycled Materials Creation Class at Art Camp 2012
If we describe what “Creation” means, we usually would use the definition of creating something using our imagination, but if we take the definition from the Bible, like we at Art Camp ValorArte 2012, we will use the definition of “producing something from nowhere”, like God did it with us. He was so inspired and […]

Micro-loans: Infographic Explains How They Change the World
Daily Infographic released a post about micro-loans and how they are changing the economic landscape of impoverished countries. This caught our eye because we saw micro-loans first hand during the production of Reparando. In fact, we even included a short as extra content on the Reparando DVD that covers micro-loans and micro-financing. You can see a sample of that content here. Micro-Enterprise […]

ValorArte, the name of this year’s Art Camp is a play on words in Spanish. “Valor” means “To […]
