Episode 3: Led Ideas Become Pitches, And It Was So...

This episode took place during the March 3 meeting of the 'CrewCast' Project. Stanley began the meetup with a review of what was has been covered so far and focused on:

• Logline/Pitch Review
• Irony/Conflict/Character With Room to Grow/Blossoms in Your Mind/No End Spoiler

Rob led of with his first of two pitches which was a collaboration with his brother Chris.

• 'Sycamore' featuring a story about Zaccheus, Mary, and Judas

Corbin followed with 1st of 3 pitches.

• 'The Last 6' - A few remaining Christians are all that are left....

Rebecca was short a pitch but came with a great 'idea' for the crew to help bring to life.

• 'Spiritual Warfare' - A dream sequence that features in some way the classic 'good' and 'bad' angels on our shoulders giving us advice

Rob followed with Pitch 2.

• 'A Pastor's Betrayal' - We aren't sure what the betrayal is yet but its probably big and the betrayed may never make it back to his church.

Corbin pitched his second.

• "Unlikely Friendship' - Wife loses husband and strikes up unlikely and unexpected friendship with non-believer.

Stanley pitches!

• 'No Dog Like Jehovah' - A dog with the power to heal...or does he?
