Courage Talk — How do you say “low life” in the 18th century?
Courage Made Plain! The First Two Minutes of Episode #1 Translated from the Baroque (sub-titles) This was fun. We’ve always tried to make the language of Courage, New Hampshire authentic to the journals, letters, and newspaper usage we’ve seen in 18th century primary texts. Most of us are used to this language, but occasionally, someone […]
Good News and URGENT News…
A Year in Review: Last year at this time, we were getting ready to screen the first episode of Courage, New Hampshire at a Southern California theater. We had been trying, hit and miss, to get people interested in funding the production of a dramatic series, released on DVD, by pre-purchasing it. That takes a […]
Pull the Trigger. Pull it now..
We pondered branding the other day. Now we do it with images and text…
Branding With A Hot Iron
We had a meeting this week with a distributor/producer who seemed to know her business and her market, (“faith/inspiration”), very well. She said very early on she had an idea for an entertainment “brand,” along with the right people to produce it. By all appearances, she’s doing very well. Does “Courage, New Hampshire” and “Colony […]
Why They’re Nervous
Buying Directly: It could change everything What we are doing at Courage, New Hampshire is not really being done anywhere else. Conventional industry people get a funny look on their face when you tell them you’re doing a television show “on spec.” Some of them look as though they wish they had a chalk board, […]
What’s in a Name?
Recognize any of these guys? Do I know these guys? I would have known the first two faces, then I would have snapped my fingers, hit my head a few times, trying to remember the first guy’s name — ultimately to surrender and ask one of my kids. The second guy I would have recognized […]
The Ambition Blogs — #2 by Kristie Kershaw
Editor’s Note: Kristie Kershaw, the wife of British born actor, Nathan Kershaw, (“Bob Wheedle” and “Sam Courage” ), has this to write about “Ambition,” (the title of Courage, New Hampshire chapter four.) Ambition is neither vice nor virtue – nothing but human intention can make it one or the other. On its face, ambition is […]
The Ambition Blogs
“Ambition,” the fourth chapter of Courage, New Hampshire inspired a question for our cast: “Is ambition, in any age, a virtue?” Allen Marsh, “Abraham Foxe” in Courage, New Hampshire, has this to say: Well, the Greeks certainly thought so. The Hebrews not so much. And the Romans couldn’t decide. Personal ambition, to the Greeks, was […]
The Story You Crave
What makes a story worth your time? I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I can remember looking forward to “Happy Days” installments when the show first began running in 1974. That would have been around 8th grade for me, and it might have had something to do with thinking high school would hold moments […]
