“Courage, New Hampshire:” A Family Affair
It is true that when you pay a few dollars to watch Courage, New Hampshire, you are investing in all of the families that work on Courage. These families work tirelessly, sacrificially, and selflessly to produce this show. Their amount of love, dedication, faith, and Courage is something to be admired. I am new to the […]
Do the Right Thing!

She said very early on she had an idea for an entertainment “brand,” along with the right people to produce it. By all appearances, she’s doing very well. Does “Courage, New Hampshire” and “Colony […]
Why They’re Nervous
Buying Directly: It could change everything What we are doing at Courage, New Hampshire is not really being done anywhere else. Conventional industry people get a funny look on their face when you tell them you’re doing a television show “on spec.” Some of them look as though they wish they had a chalk board, […]
Ambition III
One of our associate producers, Monique Lewis, weighs in on the topic of “Ambition.” (The title of chapter 4) For the past several days now, I have been mediating on the word: AMBITION. When I think of ambition, I can only think of ambition as it pertains to people in the world and characters throughout […]
