Catholic in Film School

There are two new and very exciting media resources that just hit the market.
First, there’s Catholic Media House, run by Stephen Officer:

CMH has many media resources like backgrounds and short films to enhance any homily, conference, or youth event.
Real Catholic TV launched yesterday on the 1st, and has some fresh new programming I’m interested [...]

Well, school is awesome.
On Monday I had my first college history class. Yes I’m a junior and yes it is a bit late for me to still be taking general ed classes but I’ve never been one to do exactly as I’m told.  The professor seems like she knows what she’s talking about as I [...]

Woohoo! I finished the site! It’s primitive to say the least, but web design has never been my strongest skill. I finished it around 11:30pm last night, and then promptly walked down the hall to the apartment of a few “cast members.” They weren’t that excited as they were watching Family Guy, (you know men [...]

…the blog will be a little lacking this week. I’m still designing the site for Pilgrims, not to mention doing last minute filming for the first episode that will be up next week.
I have to get my car fixed, and I must say there’s nothing like taking my car to the mechanic that makes me [...]

Behold:

For the time being, ignore the pilgrims site url because it hasn’t been built yet. If you could, I would appreciate any prayers for this project. I’m having some tech problems and have been since I decided to make this series. If you missed the teaser, here you go:

I’M A LICENSED DRIVER!!!!!

I passed my test! I passed my test! I can’t believe it either because within the first two minutes I made two errors…and I wasn’t even driving the car. Apparently you’re still supposed to know your hand signals (which I didn’t) and where your front defroster is (which I did, but accidentally [...]

I was supposed to be moving in on campus today, but there’s been an administration delay and I won’t be moving permanently until the end of the week. I’m driving to LA this morning anyway to take my behind-the-wheel driver’s test because I can’t get an appointment in San Diego until September. And so all [...]

The interview I did with Mark Banks, managing editor of Soul Food Cinema has officially been posted. This is the first of a series of interviews I will be doing with Mark each year on a quarterly basis until kingdom come, or at least until he decides he gets bored with me.
Fun fact: There’s a [...]

My body still thinks it’s in Australia, but life is officially back to normal for the time being, which means the blog is back to normalcy as well. This week I will be publishing another edition of the Rumor Has It thread, a review of The Faithful Traveler DVD, a small note about new movies [...]

I’m baaaaaaack! 
After 2 1/2 weeks of nonstop Aussie activity, a 2 hour delay, a 3 hour plane ride, another 12 hour plane ride, and finally a 3 hour car ride, I am finally home sweet home. 
I said before that I love Air New Zealand, and I still kinda do, but they lost one of my [...]

World Youth Day is officially over, and at the moment my group is staying in a local parish in Bourke, Australia, a tiny country town out in the outback about ten hours away from Sydney.
 Today we visited a local high school, a trade school for young mothers, got interviewed at the local radio station, took a [...]

I just read that 19-year-old American Idol contestant Paris Bennett has confirmed that she is pregnant. 19 years old. I’m 19….and if I know anything for sure it’s that I don’t need anybody calling me anything that starts with an “M” and ends with an “ommy.” I’m glad we don’t have a dead baby [...]

Angela wrote a nice post entitled, “Supermodel Your Hero? Hold that thought.” about Adriana Lima’s latest GQ cover:
Remember the secular world’s shock and the Catholic world’s awe when supermodel Adriana Lima told a GQ interviewer that she was a strong Catholic and would remain a virgin until after marriage?
But wait…
What’s this?
In a more recent edition [...]

Pewsitter published the following article written by a former fallen-away Catholic, Mary Rose Maguire, about the joy of re-discovering the beauty of Catholic women. When I read it, the message just rang so true in my heart I had to share some of it with you:

Catholic women are real. They’re full of grit and full [...]

Being enrolled in film school means that there are plenty of days when I walk around campus looking less than fabulous. As I edit a movie, stay up until 4 am to finish a screenwriting assignment, or otherwise agonize over some film-related project…well, it takes its toll on ya girl. Below is the clip [...]

I’m a traitor.
I’m a traitor because I had a jolly good time at JP Catholic on Friday. A part of me was kind of hoping something would go wrong, but I left loving the place, and would encourage all Catholics to look into this school.
Since it’s a new school, currently they only [...]

I apologize for not blogging these past couple of days, but it’s because I’ve been working like a maniac.
My editor at the newspaper I write for is working on a new book that I am helping to edit and assemble together. It’s a good job that I enjoy (this is the third book I’ve [...]

I have a supernatural gift for stumbling upon the most random websites on the internet.
Behold the Mother’s Day gift you wish you had gotten!

You can have the papal sexytime thong for only $11.99. But if the pope isn’t to your liking, how about some Marian sexytime?
And don’t worry dads, your day is coming [...]

It’s 12:52 am Southern Cali time.
I should be sleeping because I have to be up for sacristan duties at 8 am, but I can’t sleep because I’m thinking about this past academic year. Let’s see…
I started this school year, my second at LMU, in August 2007 at 18 years old. I was a little emotionally [...]

I’m going to SQPN’s Catholic New Media Celebration in June. How about you?

Pax Christi, Rebecca.
