SAVING GOD Starring Ving Rhames Gets Yet Another Good Nod

Recently, I’ve been doing quite a bit of traveling.  I write this as I sit at the DFW airport in Dallas, after a canceled return flight home.  Who knows how long I’ll be here, but if you don’t see a blog post on Monday, please someone bring some food and a pillow to gate A34. I would be most appreciative.

While traveling this time around, I got to spend time with some local filmmakers, along with some who were passing through like myself.

Meetings with filmmakers are always quite interesting because we are all our own worst critics.  So when you hear a “praise” from a fellow filmmaker who knows his craft, it is always a blessing.

One of the filmmakers that I had a chance to meet with last night had nothing but praise reports about our latest feature film production SAVING GOD, starring Ving Rhames.  I’m honestly delighted to receive that sort of information from such a talented filmmaker.    

Have you seen our film SAVING GOD?  It is my (Eric S. Highland’s) personal favorite of all the Cloud Ten Pictures movies that we’ve made.

Here is a little look at the film:

Interested to see more?  You can order the film HERE.

You can also win a copy of SAVING GOD for free by doing two things:

1.  Follow this blog (this is a NEW LINK)
2.  Be the first to answer the following question by commenting here:

Ving Rhames won a Golden Globe Award in 1998 for “Best Actor” in a television mini series.  Who was the person who Ving gave the award to, rather than retaining it for himself?

Golden Globe Award

This is a tougher question, so I might award a couple films if we get enough participation.

(Don’t forget, your comments will not be visible until I publish them on Monday.)

Your friend and blogger… Eric
