We’re running an exhausting schedule, but getting beautiful results.  If you have a moment today to contribute to “Courage, New Hampshire,” we could use your help!

Mallory and I weigh the benefits of paint (and “sharing.”) My daughter and I taped this internal strategy debate last week, (link here if the video embed is not working).  I’ve always said that facebook and social networks are the synthetic, digital equivalent of “word of mouth.” I take that back.  There’s nothing synthetic about it.

The Next Big Thing.   Help Build It! Jonathan Wilson, our executive producer, attended a birthday party for one of the cast this week, and there were a few ‘old country men,’ in attendance.  (That’s what they use to call ‘Brits’ in 18th century America.)

The “reality” show below is a spoof.   Lorraine’s a good sport and let me pretend I was talking to her.  Wilson thought it was funny, so we’re making it available to Colony Bay Members, (join here!) but first a word about Lorraine and our cast. I first met Lorraine at Jonathan Wilson’s office in […]

This week, we’ve been trying to juggle the schedules of our many different actors and crew, attempting to match them with the demands of our back lot — Riley’s Farm, where hundreds of students see a kind of live version of Courage, New Hampshire daily.    Frances Romero Mena has it nailed down about 90% […]

Mallory Drazin here, just updating the Courage IMDB with some images from our 2nd Episode, The Sons of Liberty.  

Plausibility and Good Advice from the Crew Back in my Stanford writing workshop days, all of my literary fiction professors would routinely warn us about what they called “plot-dominated” fiction.   Some poor, well meaning sophomore (like me) would be thinking detective mode, or combat story or espionage epic and we were then schooled in […]
