Music Class at Art Camp 2012
Hello All! My name is Tina. I had the pleasure of teaching the Music class at Art Camp this year. The main focus of the ValorArte 2012 was discovering how we are treasures of God. In our Music class, we created drums. The drums made beautiful rhythms, while also teaching the kids important lessons on their personal […]
Behind The Scenes: Cameras!
I recently created and published a video talking about one of the cameras we used on the ‘Becoming Fools’ production, the Canon C300. I got such a great response I decided to also publish it here as well. I know it’s more of a tech type video but I added quite a bit of behind […]
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.

Latin America Leads the World in Happiness

He was so inspired and […]
2012 was a year of adventure and blessing for Athentikos

As of December 2012, the film is 75% complete. Homeless youth were mentored by professional artists for over 5 months in preparation […]
Can We Have Your Trash?
Trash is not something many people want or collect. However, Sweden imports waste from other countries and is now running into the problem that there is just not enough trash. Sweden imports trash to turn into electricity and power, and because of their efficiency in converting trash to power and need for more waste, Sweden […]

La Limonada, home to these children, is one of the largest slums in Central America. It is also home to gang violence, drugs, extreme poverty and lack of opportunity. This weeklong Art […]
