March 23, 2009 – Savannah, Georgia
After a day at home in St. Louis, the family and I hit the road for Branson, Missouri – a town that continues to embody the best and worst in American culture, from the countless family variety shows with genuine hillbilly humor (the best) to ugly sprawl, time share scams, and a tacky downtown that was leveled to make way for a chain store populated shopping mall (the worst).
A quick vacation there, then a short stay at home, and now I’m in Savannah, Georgia for two days filming a key scene in the movie adaptation of “Manalive”, the brilliant novel by G. K. Chesterton. While I had my doubts about this project, its executive producer, Dale Ahlquist, was always filled with faith in it. Dale abandons himself to Divine Providence in a way that makes cynics like me wonder. And in this case, once again something that has no reason to be happening – a movie made by a first time screenwriter and director, on a shoestring budget, on a very tight schedule – actually shows promise, at least on set. There is something wonderful and hopeful about making a movie, something that draws from us great acts of trust – for, unlike in a stage play, when you make a movie, you do the whole thing in a spirit of abandon and then wait several months to see how it turns out. Which is, come to think of it, not unlike making a baby! In both cases, it’s a lot of fun.
My fun tomorrow will consist of crawling on my back around the floor of a classroom as a large maniac points a gun at me. This is a crucial scene in the movie, and in the battle against the suicide of thought. It will take us all day to film the five minutes or so this scene will play. It’s important we get it just right, for this scene and this movie are not merely works of entertainment, but salvos launched against the culture of death. Dear Gilbert, pray that we hit our target!
And if you want to know more, you’ll have to wait a bit and see the movie – as the actors will, too. For more info visit http://manalivethemovie.com/index.html

Comedy provides laughter and amusement. The audience is taken by surprise, by the parody or satire of an unexpected effect or an opposite expectations of their cultural beliefs. Slapstick film, one-liner joke, observational humor are forms of comedy which have developed since the early days of jesters and traveling minstrels.

Hi
I see these books for sale by schools as fundraisers. I’m wondering how does the Entertainment company make it’s money.Do companies pay to get their coupon in the book? Does all the revenue come from the sale of the book? Or both?
