NEXT

This is kind of cool.  In a sort of BTF (Back to the Future) twist, I’m writing a blog post to people of the future.  Right now, it’s 9:11 pm on Sunday, January 25th.  However, you won’t be reading this until at least January 28th.  So, to quote Donetello, “The past returns”*.

I’m David Altrogge and I make movies.  Right now, my business partner, Mike Hartnett and I are in the throes of shooting the Next Promo video.  It’s a 4-day shoot and thus far we’re having a stellar time. We started shooting in my hometown of Indiana Pennsylvania on Friday. Indiana is the birthplace of famed Thespian Jimmy Stewart in addition to being the Christmas tree capital of the world. So if you’re looking for a new holiday tradition, come to Indiana and cut down a Christmas tree while watching It’s a Wonderful Life*. After two awesome days of filming (the Lord has provided us with a stellar cast and crew) we packed up and headed south. Tomorrow and Tuesday we’ll be continuing our filming in the streets of Baltimore. On Wednesday, when you’re reading this post, we’ll be wrapping up at Sovereign Grace Studios, recording the video’s narration.

God has been so kind to us these first two days, and we’re excited to see how he provides in the next two.  We can’t wait to show you the video and hope is gets you pumped about what God is going to do at Next.  Please be praying that the Lord helps us as we edit the video.
