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.

Help Us Spread the Word!

weCatholic's Vision:
Empower people to know and love our Catholic faith amidst the chaos of daily life.

Sounds simple enough. And with all things truly simple, amazingly deep, broad, and transcendent.

How can I help?
- Strive to live the Best Good Life yourself -- people will notice a vigor and purpose to you and inquire.
- Email this blog to your friends, Catholic or not!
- Subscribe to our RSS feed
- Apply for an Internship
- Consider being a venture donor.

Venture Donor?
Aye. Perhaps now is the time to provide a bit of the bigger picture...
We believe the Catholic marketplace is largely undefined, unknown, and untapped. When Catholic companies try and 'crack' it they mostly fail because their products look like they are dusted off from a lost 1964 warehouse. When Protestant companies try and 'crack' the Catholic market, their schlep may look shiny and new but it just isn't Catholic.

We are not sure exactly how to crack the Catholic market, but we are confident we can do a better job than has been done. We've sought larger amounts of investment capital since early 2004 and, while we continue to do so. In the meantime, we've developed a veritible ecosystem of lay spirituality and supporting products -- just waiting for the resources to be developed (including TV, movies, books, and a variety of creative products).

Some of these products are relatively inexpensive to get out there. Would you prayerfully consider a donation to weCatholic to help us make this possible?

We are looking for an initial investment of $5,000 to launch 3-4 initial products. This can come from many people pooling together or a few or one person -- any and all of whom share our vision.

To Donate:
We are working on setting up PayPal as a simple way to donate. Until then, please use our email as a means of donation via PayPal. lamontglen@mac.com .
