BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This is a 5 minute short film. The story and original screenplay were
written by Philip Barker, with the rights to the screenplay released
to DGW for production of this short film. This project is exciting to
me for several reasons:

1. The writer, Philip, lives in Australia, while the production
company is roughly half-way around the world in the U.S. I had
been praying for such a single location, single day shoot Christian
screenplay such as this for some time. My finding it was quite
serendipitous, clearly an answered prayer.

2. This film speaks to an audience which I believe is quite large in
number. Many people, saved and unsaved, come to a point in their
lives where they become terribly discouraged and feel their is no
point in being here. Truly believing that God knows you and has
specific plans for you is so critical to living the way He intends. This
screenplay speaks to that audience well.

3. The timing of getting the script is perfect. It is about the only time
that we have leave-less trees and rather dull cloudy skies-the
backdrop that reflects the young man's state of mind.

4. This could be the first of several projects that originate with
scripts developed by Philip and produced here in the U.S.-an
example of God connecting people to serve Him using our
respective gifts.
