Internships Redefined
Here's the thing: I can play with concepts all day long, creating and linking vast intricate systems of theology that are amazingly cool to a no one but me. Before my brain injury, I could take this and make them semi-intelligible and useful to others. Since my brain injury? Nope. I try. But God's forced me to focus on other gifts, in part by removing my capacity to do most other things.
- video article production (shooting, interviewing, editing, and putting to web format various faith stories.
- creative writing to illustrate a spiritual or theological point
- research and writing to support spiritual and theological concepts/relationships
- writing to teach
- product development (take a product idea and make it real)
- marketing
- graphic art (2 and 3 dimensional)
- have something you do really well? Perhaps there's a fit, so let us know!
- Name and contact information, and name and contact information for your parents (if under 18)
- Answer the following in written or video (DVD or emailed Quicktime):
- Who/where are you on the road to Emmaus? (Luke 24:13-35) Tell us about your journey that brought you to where you are now.

Do you have a Faith Story to tell?
We have an exciting opportunity to create new and innovative Catholic TV that helps those of us living family life in the work-a-day world know, love, and live our faith in the midst of the chaos. We have been offered a channel on the "Catholic YouTube" LoveToBeCatholic.com
Our Goal:
to create a pilot episode or two of a faith magazine (sort of like a news magazine, but faith oriented) and get funding (via advertising or grants) to continue creating it on a regular basis.
Want to bank-roll something this crazy? I'd love to hear from you!
We have a videographer who has volunteered to shoot and edit stories for us in the Ft. Collins, CO area. We are also looking for other videographers in other locations.
Regardless of where you are located, if you have a story that fits the following descriptions, or know some one who does (or simply has a wonderful story that defies description!), we'd love to hear about it.
Day in the life of:
- - Parents as kid's primary educator: homeschool, public school, and Catholic school families
- - stay at home mom or dad
- - priest, deacon, bishop, sister or brother
- - Catholic business person
- - ???
- - Disability and Faith
- - Choosing Life despite the challenges
- - Facing loss of miscarriage or infant death
- - Choosing the best good choice rather than the easy/obvious choice (teens or any age)
- - Invisible sacrifice for others that should be celebrated
- - Ministries that make a powerful contribution to the Body of Christ
- - Pilgrimage (perhaps one you've already made and have footage of, or one you'll be going on and could shoot footage with some camera training)
- - ??? other stories of God found in daily chaos of life?
Email me your stories to lamontglen@mac.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
Blessings,
Patrick

Videographer Monk(ie) for Pilot Creation
We're looking for an actively Catholic videographer who can work with us to create a pilot or two of an expanded version of the Best Good Life. Applicants should be able to write, shoot and edit video "articles", integrate with Quicktime files, and then save as a web viewable format and upload.
We will be using this pilot series to seek funding for further episodes, so the winning applicant could eventually end up with a paying gig.
Please email Deacon Patrick with links to video samples. lamontglen@mac.com
This position will be open until filled.
And, if you are in a position to fund such a beastie, I'd love to chat! Grin.
