Community

Hi, this is Keith Ward, owner/president of Full Quiver Productions. I want to invite you to become a part of my website.

"Community" is a much different word than when I was growing up on the 70s. Then, it was folks who lived in your neighborhood. Now, that neighborhood is the Internet, so your community can, and usually does, span continents.

For this website, the community is all of us engaged in a conversation; it's not just me jabbering on in front of a camera. I want you involved. Here's how you can do it.

Since this is a video-centric site, I'd like to see you contribute via video as much as possible. I'll be vlogging (video blogging, for the uninitiated) on a regular basis, and would like to develop several regular (and many irregular) vloggers. If you've got something to contribute that you think is worthy, please contact me and I'll give you further instructions.

I'm also looking to put short films up on my site. They can be fiction or non-fiction; documentaries would be great.

What do you need to know about vlogs or other films? The most important factor is that they reflect a Christian worldview. To that end, they cannot have any vulgarity or profanity. And I mean none. That does not mean they can't be challenging in terms of content. Difficult issues can and should be discussed by Christians (even whether or not Harry Potter is evil!), and I want that on the site. But I will not tolerate blasphemy (and yes, I consider the phrase "Oh my G-d" blasphemy) or swearing.

I am most interested in films that have a Christian faith component. That doesn't mean they should be sermons; in fact, preaching disguised as a film will not make it on this website. But they should have a faith element in them, and show something about how faith relates to the human condition. They don't have to mention God, Jesus, church or anything related to Christianity. But they should steer away from nihilism, post-modernism or other corrupt philosophies (yes, Google those terms if you're not sure what they are). Funny stuff is great; just not stuff that relies on inappropriate topics or language to attain its goals.
