Episode #3, The First Two Days of Shooting
We’re running an exhausting schedule, but getting beautiful results. If you have a moment today to contribute to “Courage, New Hampshire,” we could use your help!
Would you rather be Liked or Shared?
Mallory and I weigh the benefits of paint (and “sharing.”) My daughter and I taped this internal strategy debate last week, (link here if the video embed is not working). I’ve always said that facebook and social networks are the synthetic, digital equivalent of “word of mouth.” I take that back. There’s nothing synthetic about it. […]
What is Courage, New Hampshire?
The Next Big Thing. Help Build It! Jonathan Wilson, our executive producer, attended a birthday party for one of the cast this week, and there were a few ‘old country men,’ in attendance. (That’s what they use to call ‘Brits’ in 18th century America.) These blokes were all wondering what sort of creature we […]

The “reality” show below is a spoof. Lorraine’s a good sport and let me pretend I was talking to her. Wilson thought it was funny, so we’re making it available to Colony Bay Members, (join here!) but first a word about Lorraine and our cast. I first met Lorraine at Jonathan Wilson’s office in […]
Schedules, Money, Cameos, Housing
This week, we’ve been trying to juggle the schedules of our many different actors and crew, attempting to match them with the demands of our back lot — Riley’s Farm, where hundreds of students see a kind of live version of Courage, New Hampshire daily. Frances Romero Mena has it nailed down about 90% […]
