We Have TV and Movie Stars Among Us!

I tweeted about it a few weeks back, but I want to share in detail a great evening we have planned for November… and it’ll be here before you know it!  As some of you may know, Andrea Prescott worked on a movie back in 2009.  She took about a month (+) off work to do it.  She’s self-employed, so she went without pay, but she wanted to do this movie project.  I am sure is going to be a blessing to both Christians and non-Christians alike.  The story was based on a true story, and the film was produced by a local Christian writer/director named Robbie Hirst.  He’s a great guy, and their project is really something to be incredibly proud of.  I know that I am so proud of Andrea and so happy to claim that she has been a part of the EHC family for a long time… wow!  A real life Christian movie star from right here among us!

The movie is called “Running Inside Out,” and you can check out the website for the film here:

It is strange for me to see the website with Andrea’s picture on it at the top of the page.  It’s just weird knowing anyone who is on a TV commercial, or anything like this for sure!

But the talented Mrs Prescott does an excellent job in the movie.  I know that I am so proud of Andrea for doing this project that will make a lasting impact, and so happy to claim that she has been a part of the EHC family for a long time.  Wow, a real life Christian movie star from right here among us!

To celebrate her great accomplishment, and well, also ‘cause it just seemed like a good excuse to have a party, we are planning a “Red Carpet Night” for Andrea, Jason and all the rest of the EHC Family to enjoy.  This “date-night” opportunity will fit right in with our “Family Matters Sermon Series” that focuses on relationships (Oct & Nov).  We are getting all dressed up in our “Red Carpet-worthy” duds, dudes!  And Ladies?  Feel free to dazzle us all!  But even if you don’t wanna get all decked out, come check out the movie with us!

We will have a “Red Carpet Runway,” a special screening of Running Inside-Out, and a RIO (Running Inside Out) Reception. We will be providing a nursery and a place to play for your kids that night here in the church gym, nursery, etc.

Andrea has sent this trailer out.

The trailer is good, but it does not even come close to doing the film justice.  There are parts that are literally laugh out loud funny – and I’ve paid good money to see some Hollywood comedies that didn’t even achieve that!  There are some parts of the movie that might make you cry.  Did I cry?  NAHHHH… not me.  I’m just way too tough/manly/butch for that.  But I did have an unfortunate problem that night.  I had a totally unforeseen allergy attack, with itchy and watery eyes and it just so happened to hit me while at the movie screening!

I went with my lovely bride Shelly, Teresa Blake, and Micah and Lien Quinto, to watch an “opening night” presentation at U of H/Spring Branch.  Unfortunately, Jason and Andrea were not able to go because of some plans with their extended family, and they had to be out of town.  I may be wrong, but I think that it is still possible that they’ve seen PARTS but not the WHOLE movie.

So here would be my “Entertainment Tonight” commercial:

You’re invited to a special screening at the “EHC 1 Theatre.”  Stay after the screening and have some appetizers at our special RIO-Reception.  We have it on good authority that the beautiful movie star and her glamorous doctor/husband (sorry, but I just had to pump up the “Us Weekly/People Magazine” factor, haha) are both planning to stay for the after-party in the ultra-luxurious, ultra-exclusive “Higher Grounds Cafe.”  Bring a camera, bring an autograph book, come by yourself, bring a date (make sure it’s your SPOUSE, if you have one!).  Just don’t let the Sugar Land/Richmond paparazzi follow you!  Don’t miss out on the hottest ticket in Richmond, TX on Saturday night, Nov 13 at 7:30 PM!

So personally, I don’t know anything about “The Business,” aka “Show Biz,” but maybe you should ask Andrea/Pam if this is the way that the on-set drama went down for them.

A little disclaimer: I know nothing of the movie advertised here – so I am not in any way endorsing it.  It just fit the movie theme of this blog post and it was a very funny video clip that I had run across… “AVATAR!!”  LOL

Peace and blessings,
