Wow- this has been something weighing heavy on my mind as we launch our business (started in August and growing fast!). Thanks for your inspiration and ideas. I’m excited about the potential ways to inspire change in the world through our craft. Thanks!

My higher calling always has been video. Since I got laid off my tech job last year, I’ve been doing a lot of non profit video. It is satisfying that I can impact a lot of people this way. It’s always about the people I serve that matters most. As Christians, we work for God anyways. We always step out in faith to see what God will do next.

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot for pediatrics hospice and it reminded me how special and beautiful it is for someone who has little to nothing to feel the importance of a camera on them, etching their story in time.

Thanks for sharing Dan. When it comes to music videos, you definitely have to be careful what you say yes too. 🙂

I appreciated your perspective when I read your book “ReFocus” as well. As a Christian and aspiring storyteller/filmmaker I want my character and values to embody the work I do, or at least make sure the job isn’t going against what I stand for. I have had a few people ask me to talk with bands they know about doing a music video… I have been very careful about that until I know what the band is all about. I want to make sure that when my wife & i take on a video job it, we are proud to say we did it. And that one day we can show our kids and not be ashamed.

Kita & I love to interact with people regardless of their beliefs… most of the time we have no idea what they are, but what we do know is that we can serve like crazy and make sure they feel like they were the most important people in the world after the shoot.

I think the most rewarding project we did was a benefit video for a kid with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. We spent the evening with him and followed him around the hospital and captured the “day in the life”, along with his incredible attitude and sense of humor. (it is on our LiveWire Films Vimeo page) The privilege of spending time with that kid was payment enough, but we did also add a donation button to our webpage and received some contributions for the work we did. I could tell stories like that all day long!

Sorry for the rant… all this to say, great post Ron! Thanks for having a purpose and sharing that with others.
