Over on Facebook Group page for Courage, Paul W. Pyle aks: I was wondering about the process you use in gathering historical facts when you start creating a great movie such as this. How you get the idea of the basic historical location and so on. Over the years, we’ve collected quite a few primary […]

Of all the many semi-lucid critiques of Courage, New Hampshire, I find the commentary on accents the most amusing. According to Alex Pareenee of Salon.com: As proof of the producers’ commitment to historical accuracy, the British are all evil and speak with British accents, while the colonists are mostly good and speak with (wildly varying) […]

I talked to a guy in Michigan yesterday who was so excited about selling our movie, he wants to take it out and sell it to his church, his school, and even his neighborhood. He bought 30 copies of the DVD in our July deal, (a case of 30 for $99). He did not, however, start […]

Yesterday (and this morning) have been sort of hopping on the distribution front. We have a European network interested.  (They all speak English over there, unlike here in the states) Ben Shapiro, the guy who was the youngest syndicated columnist in America at age 16 and who graduated from Harvard Law at 23 years old, […]

Next week, we’ll have a few meetings with “channel” distributors so I’m just writing this all down to see if I understand it:
