Those of you at Church this past Sabbath might have noticed that many regular attenders didn’t show up. Most of us were at the SonScreen film festival in Simi Valley. Personally, I saw a lot of talent and faces that will probably make their way to Hollywood. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

This week (or whenever) give a shout out to Melody George who had a huge role in this event, and send up your prayers for her for next year, when she’s taking on even more responsibility.

Merry Christmas to Members and Friends of the Hollywood church.

We might have had a slow start this year, but next year We Are Hollywood and the rest of the Ministries at Hollywood SDA are going to be rockin’!

This past Sabbath, we had a meeting about the upcoming video series “We Are Hollywood.”

Here is what was discussed:

1) We Are Hollywood video project and the short and long term goals.

The video series has three parts: 1) The people that make up Hollywood SDA; 2) Their individual neighborhoods and communities; 3) The church’s neighborhood/community. Each video, once edited, will run around three minutes and be shown during the church service. It’s our plan to eventually integrate all the interviews into a feature length DVD. But that idea was an afterthought for us. Our real goal is a way we all can get to better know the people that make up this church family!

Short Term Goals:
Internet video of individual interviews
In church viewing of individual interviews
Bringing members together to share in common goal
Getting to know other members and the Hollywood community

Long Term Goals:
Feature length (30 to 90 minutes) documentary on the Hollywood Church and it’s community
Members knowing each other and their community
Continued historical record of the Hollywood Church and it’s community
Monetizing DVD sales to keep the Media Ministry in up to date technology and equipment

2) Who can be interviewed? Individuals, couples, families.

3) What kind of questions will be asked? Questions you would ask a person (in the church) you were getting to know.
“Where are you originally from?”
“What do you do for a living?”
“How did you start attending Hollywood SDA?”
“What’s you favorite thing to do in your free time?”
More personal questions:
“How did you come to know the Lord?”
“Is there an event in your life that shaped the person you are today?”

4) Filming days and times.
We plan on conducting up to five interviews a day over a month period here at the church. We want to do this on Sabbath after the morning service. Food will be provided while you’re waiting for your turn to be interviewed. The first filming date is yet to be determined.

5) If you’re interested in helping out with the production side of things, we’re specifically in need of musicians that would be willing to let us use their music in the videos and/or want to write new music; graphic designers and animators to elevate the videos’ production quality; and a web designer for wearehollywood.org.
We also need an interviewer (doesn’t have to be just one, they can alternate days) and people to help with lighting and sound. We could also use volunteers to provide food on the filming days. So as you can see, we have lots of spots that can be filled if someone’s looking to get a little more involved.

6) What we need most of all, though, are interviewees. We plan on asking people directly but thought we’d give everyone a chance to sign up voluntarily first.  Email either Alburn (richardab@gmail.com) or myself (Kelsyjoy@gmail.com) and let us know whether you’re willing to be interviewed or want to help out with production.

7) Lastly, the church board has funded a media ministry, but we need people to make up the team. So, if you’re interested in being a part of the media ministry,  email us and we’ll be in touch to set up a day that the media team can meet for their first meeting! If you also want to put in your email the best day for you to have such meeting, that’d be helpful too!
