Update: 1.25.05  Last night I rented the DVD and watched all of the commentary. Especially helpful was a feature:
Heaven Help Us: a short documentary of the thought and hope that went into their project. I admire Brian Dannelly as a conscientious artist. Much of what I know about him was gleaned from the actors' interviews I read months ago. They spoke of the Director requiring them to attend a number of 'real' youth rallies, conferences, etc. to get jiggy with the whole 'christian youth culture.'


Last year,
when this movie about high school
         culture was released,
I sent an email to
the
Co-Writer
and
Director,

Brian Dannelly.


Below
is a copy of the letter that I wrote to Brian. I was thrilled that this busy filmmaker took the time
                                              to respond to my note.

The 21st Century is an Open Door of Opportunity that allows us to cross many ancient boundaries. 
Limited imaginations are a hindrance for those who hope to walk through the Door the Lord has opened. In my letter I tried to show Brian that I appreciate his God-given imagination as he uses the tools of his millennial generation.

Hi Brian:
 
My wife, son, and I viewed your film SAVED! for the first time yesterday. I had seen Mandy Moore on Letterman talk about 'controversy' with the story...so decided to go see it.
 
Our immediate reflection and discussion led me to the assertion that you must hold to a different worldview than me.
 
I got your email address from a blog...from a google search. I would be interested in reading anything that you feel rightly represents your developing theology. Perhaps I'll hunt around on the web for sites that mention your past productions....however, a link to a few good sites would be most appreciated.
 
Myself: the pastor of a small baptist church in northern california (with a deepening faith as well). 
 
I became a Christian at age 26...twenty years ago....having lived as an agnostic with very little restraint and did not take Christians seriously. Personal crisis led to my faith in the Christ of the Bible as ever-present and interested in my thoughts and my heart.
 
Thank you for taking the time to 'talk to strangers.'
 
Sincerely,
Rob Patterson

   Brian wrote back (below); my computer later crashed and I had lost my email records so I never wrote him again. Recently, d.c.tom forwarded the copy I had sent him (I was so excited to have received a response from Brian). If any of you should decide to write to Brian, please be courteous.

  I suggest that you rent the DVD and watch the film carefully before offering your feedback. Here is Brian's long-lost letter:

hello,

  Well, it's true, we may hold different world views...but, I think we're looking for the same thing. One of the very best things to come out of this experience is that I've received so many
kind emails from evangelical Christians and it's actually made me want to explore my relationship with JC more than ever.

  In spite of all the controversy, it's been a very moving experience for me.

  Thank you so much for writing to me. I would love to talk to you more.

Please feel free to write.

  A quick note, I've just returned from two weeks worth of film festival madness and am very tired and am trying to answer over 700 emails...but, yours stood out and I wanted to get back to [you]right away.


best,

A note to my fellow CHS grad:

January 15, 2005

Hi Carol:


  If you'll notice on our website, we have a new page called CHS Follies:

    2 columns:  Class of 1975.....THEN   
           and  Class of Y2K5.....NOW

  In this left column, after I locate the student film I shot (Super 8 circa. Spring 1975), I will feature short mpeg videos. Our task then will be to CLICK and IDENTIFY who those kids were (and 'what were they thinking').

  The film, CHS Follies, was cinema verite'(before I knew what that was) set in the middle of CHS hallways as the dismissal bell rings. 1975-era young people dressed in authentic period pieces came rushing out of classrooms; go back in your long-term memory and relive the excitement of 2-way pedestrian traffic, the unique individuals, the teachers, the couples, the friends (duets, trios, even quads), the loner weaving through those who aren't moving as fast.

   Featuring kids from the classes of 1975,1976, and 1977.  My brother, Mike, was in the class of '77. There's a good chance that he's seen walking down the
hall to his next class....good chance that you're in it...your friends...who knows?

   My Dad, who still lives in Coldwater, is friends with Randy Hazelbaker; I remember really liking that kid back in the day. I think I remember correctly that he helped me win 1st Place Student of the Year for  D.E.C.A.

   Randy helped by shooting photographs, and using the Careers Center darkroom so I could create a portfolia of my legitimate
ventures; I've heard that Randy is now the resident historian for Coldwater, right?  He once featured my Dad on a Cable Access program. Whatever his current skills and interests, he fits the demographic
for this year's strangest web-based reality show: CHS Follies.

   Could somebody call him, simply explain some of this conceptual brainstorming, send him an email link to this page?

   I haven't mentioned any of this Reality Show to Greg Brayton (Class of 73) yet.....but my son, Jerry, is now attending his church and went to Sunday School with him last week. I think Greg
will be on board to help with production.

   AUDIO VENTURES TOGETHER: CLICK HERE


   Perhaps you could brainstorm about the BIG SEASON FINALE. The best Reality

I have some ideas brewing...I like my coffee hot and strong(likewise the Season Finale).

   Greetings from the very cold state of Michigan. Nancy told me earlier this week that Jerry has moved here. What an adventure for all of you!

   She and I have been working together on a Renaissance Festival, and she told
me last night (at the festival) that I should check out your web page.

   So, that's what I have been doing for last 30 minutes. You have a lot of info
there! Of course, I was especially interested in your family info and
Jerry's journey to join us here in this great state!

   I am looking forward to CHS Follies:
I think! Thirty years. It's hard to
believe, isn't it?  We certainly are a lot younger than people in their late 40's were back in the 1970's, don't you think!?By the way, I still have my copy of the Senior Mirror poll and you forgot to admit that you were also voted 2nd place "Class Clown" (right behind Rich Fraley and tied with Steve Neesley).  Just thought I'd refresh your memory!

   I saw Jerry last night at the Renaissance Festival.  He was hanging with my niece, Lauren (big surprise!)  He is looking healthy, content, and comfortable! 

   It's nice that he has Nancy and her family, and I'm sure that he's comfortable with Lauren's parents, but just for the record, if he ever needs anything, the Ogles would also help him in a heartbeat. Let him know that for us, okay?  I have a son, Sam, who is a senior this year and
knows Richelle (2006) and Sarah (2007) very well. They are in the Balladiers together. 

   So hopefully he and Jerry's paths will cross and they can get to know each
other.  Sam is a really laid back kid, very kind, and also a drummer,
so it sounds like they may have some common ground.  Anyway, I realize this
was a huge decision for you and Cathy, so let us know if there's anything we
can do.

   Well, just wanted to drop you a line.  We will add you all to our prayer list. 
I look forward to getting back on your web page when I have more time.

Until then, 

Carol

    Jordan leaves Coldwater for the Detroit Airport tomorrow at 3:00 AM. He was allowed to attend C.H.S. for the entire school day today. More about his trip to the Winter, Water Wonderland in upcoming correspondence.

    Greg Brayton recorded Jordan for a StudioTime promo--featuring Jordan's signature scream. We'll upload the MP3 when it is finished. Greg gave me a tape of 2 songs that he's gonna have me lay down drum tracks on later this week.

That is great news about my childhood books being picked up by a noted Epicenter Producer! Who would have ever imagined?

Hi Mom, Dad and Family,

 

    How are you all? I am not going to be able to use the Internet as freely as I had before, because Mikey's computer is giving him problems. Its kind of funny though, cuz Hotmail finally started working on his computer, and then it crashes.

    How is the church and youth group going? I know that Gina and Tyler were leaving, and I didn’t know really what was going on with that. I'm looking forward to a SUPER weekend coming up. We have Friday and Monday off, so it will work out very nicely since Jordan is going to be here.

   Dad, can you send me some lunch/misc. money? I have run out of funds, because of the jackets and gloves, and my lunches. If you could, could you get a hold of Jordan and send it with him? Also, can you pray about safe traveling weather? We expect to get 6 ‘’ of snow 2night and I hope it cools down before Thursday.

   Uncle Mike is doing good, and so is Mikey. I've been running lots of errands for uncle Mike (and have been trying to hang out with Mikey as much as possible). I got sick over the weekend, so that was kinda boring. I'm getting over it though. I came straight home from school and slept till about 9 last night, so I'm staying well rested.

    My Valentines Day went great. I had made a card for Lauren, and it turned out a lot better than I could have planned. I just feel like God was really working stuff out for me on Sunday. Before I had gone to church I noticed that I had very little money, and that I wanted to make it stretch. Mom had sent me $50 for clothes, but I had used it on lunch, and toiletries. I still had to save money to help pay for gas money for grandma and Mikey to pick up and drop off Jordan from the airport. All this running through my head, I realized that I hadn’t tithed on the money. I knew it would tie me even tighter than I was to tithe the $5, but I remembered that God will always work things out for you if your faithful. So, I tithed the money. After that it seemed like everything worked out for me.

    I was right in time to pick up a rose from the florist
(3 minutes before they closed), and when I went to buy a stuffed animal, it turned out being way cheaper than I had budgeted. So, I just really realized the good in having faith in God.

    SO yes, Valentine's Day went great, and now...
                   Me and Lauren are an “item.”
                            We made it official yesterday.

    Well, I'm sending this email in computer class, so I better get back to my work. I just wanted to send u an email to let u know the latest news.

I love and miss you all.

 

Love,

Jerry

Hey:

   Sorry it took so long to write back but I've been busy. Uncle Mike didn't get caught driving, he just went in for an evaluation, and they made it final. I didn't end up really going shopping, cuz I ran out of lunch money, so I just am spending it there.

   What's the latest news on dad? How is he doing?Jordan is set to fly down here this Thursday and leave on Tuesday. I'm pretty excited

Aunt Nancy is gonna send you a graduation gown order form so u can order what u want.

Well I g2g, I'm not supposed to be on at the school. Tell Mary, Daniel, and family that I love and miss them.

 Hey mom,

   That's not good to hear that you're sick. I am too, but I drink a lot of water and sleep, and its goin away.

   We won our volleyball game on Saturday, and I helped with a church fundraiser on Sunday. My number here is 517-278-6569. I got the package and letter 2day. It was A GREAT SURPRISE, especially the muffins. I hope you get better and can go to school n work soon. Uncle Mike got his license stamped and if he gets caught driving then he gets a 500$ fine and up to 90 days in jail, so pray for him and that he'll be happy. Jordan's comin out to see me on my winter break thing on the 17th, so that is something for me to look forward to.

Well, I g2g. 

Love,

Jerry

Hi Mom,

   Alright, I'll make sure to keep my eye open for the check. Thank you so much! That's kinda funny about Joe's unknown expenses with his dorm room; it sounds scary.

   Mikey had sumtin kinda like that. He couldn't go to school cuz he hadn't made a deposit , so he's out for the semester. I am trying to use my turbo cleaning skills for uncle mikes benefit, but its hard.

   I always try n take care of the dishes. Well I g2g to Volleyball now, but I'll talk to you later...I miss you!

Love,

Jerry

   I'll make sure to email Joe for his bday. Are u excited for ur bday? I remember that it's comin up too. I talked to Daniel bout wrestling. He seems pretty pumped about it all. Well, I g2g. Uncle Mike wants me to run an errand.

Hi Mom,
 
   Hmm a good time to call me is usually on weekdays at around 4 on. On Wednesdays I go to Youth Group, but other than that I'm always home.

   Hmm,....this weekend I might be home, probably not at night, but on Saturday during the day I'm sure I'll  be at home. Valentines Day...I think we have a dance, but as I remember Lauren doesn't like dances, and I don't know if they're "cool" here. If they are cool I so wanna go, cuz I miss dances. I don't know what I'm gettin her for Valentines; I don't have too much money left in my lunch account, and her bday is comin up on the 23rd.

   I'm not used to serious relationships with girls, so its all weird now, and I wanna kill any guy she even looks at, so I'm workin on that. Aunt Nancy is finding the date of graduation out. I got a slip to order my cap n gown today. Yeah, I'd like to go to SWC, but I'd want others to go to, like if u could talk Daniel into it. That's good to hear that Dad's doin good, and that he got there safely. Do u know if its a better situation than Liberia?

   Well, school is comin along good. I'm doin my best in all my classes, and I think it will show in my grades, but since I just sit at home all day then I end up doing all my homework. I kinda look forward to fast paced Cali life. Here everything is slow, but they make up for it in Drama. There's a lot of drama here, which I don't like, but I can't really change it. Well, I g2g.

 

Love,

Hi Mom,

   Sorry its taken me so long to write back. I haven't got to check my mail in a while, cuz the library was closed. I don't know the exact date for graduation yet, but I think its end of May. I'll look into it.

   Lately I've been getting really homesick. I hope at least Dad gets to come here later to record or sumtin, so I'll see something from home. I talked to Jordan and his mom said she'd buy him a ticket here whenever he wanted to come. That would put a smile on my face, but I have to find him a place to stay and a ride from the airport so I'm gonna start workin on that.

   Yesterday was the church ping-pong match. Me n my partner Ashley got 3rd. It was weird cuz all the adults were really competitive. I really like these 2 youth groups I'm in though. I'm not hangin out with guys too much now; its just mainly girls, but they're just as interesting as guys I guess.

   So how are you doing without Dad? I miss our shopping trips and house projects we have always had when Dad's been gone. I try n clean up around Uncle Mike's, but its hard, cuz I don't know what goes where and all that.

   So far school is going good and on progress reports I had all A's. I like all my teachers, but Ms. Kiss is a Democrat, and I don't like it, but I'm gonna keep quiet, cuz I can tell there's some Bush supporters in that class.

   Well I g2g, the librarian is givin me the look. Let me know when u send out the money, so I can be on the look out for it. Tell all the kids that I miss them, and I miss you. I love you all.

  A cell phone call with Dad:
      (UncleRob™ to some)

   Hi Dad:

   I know that you're leaving for Africa tomorrow and just wanted to talk with you one last time.

    School? Yeah, its going great! I could possibly get all As this last semester.
  
    A
fter school I go back to  Uncle Mike's house and do my homework; I spent 3 hours on my collage, put blue construction paper behind the pictures; I drew an outline of the state of California. I think I made a good presentation in Ms.Kaschalk's class. I actually like doing the homework here. Well, not having a band or guy friends helps!

   There's another student here from California. Esther was born in the OC and has comes back and forth to Michigan through the years.
 
   I went out with Lauren parent's and grandparents last night. I'm also really getting involved in the youth groups here. My church's youth group is small but good. Then, I also go to the Free Methodist Church for their youth group. There's a Youth Leader named Chris that I really like!
 
    Allison  invited to be on their volleyball team; we won;
 
   Tomorrow I will partner with Ashley for a ping-pong tournament; she's best friends with Allison; I met them by having lunch with Megan; The seniors all eat lunch together so I sit with these friends and  2 other quieter girls andone guy: a boyfriend; The are a lotta guys at the Free Methodist Church; Chris calls me Dane (I remind him of a guy he knows named Dane; Chris is always cracking jokes; I feel comfortable there; Chris also comes and eats lunch with us at the High School on Fridays.
 
   We play a game in the Youth Group called "Trainwreck" (for example someone calls off "Rows 1-7 switch; 2-3 switch,...then they yell "Trainwreck!" and everyone switches with one person left standing ;its similar to one we played in California called "Fruit Basket Upset").
 
   The Free Methodist Chruch also has a Youth Band; they're good; I totally compliment everyone and am not pushing myself here as a drummer. Someday, I'll probably be asked to fill in for a band somewhere...

Hello Mom, Dad
         and Family Members,


How are all y'all?
<----my new accent!

   I'm doing pretty good. I had my 1st Friday at the School. It wasn't the best, but it worked out.

   My Creative Writing class was a lot more work than a [Galt] English class would ever be; it demanded that we sit at home for 30 minutes every night and just think stuff up. I don't really enjoy being forced to be creative, so I got out of it.

   I made the switch to Speech Class, which was good cuz the people are more like me. I have to write an Outline about my life, and make a collage, which won't be too hard. It will also make me a better public speaker.

   More good news: my Foods teacher goes to my church. It was quite funny on the first day she asked if I had gone to church on Sunday with Sally Brayton. I said, "yeah," and she laughed cuz she thought maybe I was one of her kids. haha.

   Mom, I was wondering if you wanted to send me money to buy some clothes. You had mentioned how I should talk to you about it after I had been here a couple of weeks, and I had seen what people wear here. I've been here a while and I think I'm gettin' a grasp on Michigan style (its almost like cali, but more bundled up).

   Well, I must be going now, my 30 online minutes are up here at the library. Write back.

  Everything's good. I went t
o the Methodist Church on Sunday (first service); hung out with Greg Brayton and went with him to his Sunday School class.

They had the Andy Griffith Bible Study (the episode where the goat eats the dynamite). It was funny to hear everyone 'interpreting' the film for Greg:

    "Greg, now the goat is eating  
                              the dynamite..."


   I'm not getting online much yet. At school, I was getting a bit lost in the hallways. I have three classes with Andy. He invited me to sit with him and his friends tomorrow at lunch.

Subject: First day of school

Well, the day finally arrived--Jerry's first day at CHS.  It was heartwarming to see the three cousins walking toward the front doors at approximately 7:55 a.m. in a frigid -2 degrees.  Jerry is learning
that winter means not only snow, but COLD temperatures.

   Jerry has been forewarned about school lunches at CHS--there are some good things, like the salad bar, but the good things have the very long lines,and then you end up with no time to eat.  So we suggested that Jerry might want to pack a lunch, and he agreed (although this morning when I asked where his lunch was, he said he had money to buy...maybe a case of not getting the lunch packed?)

   I'll keep you posted (and I'm sure he will, too) as to how his first day went...I am picking them all up at 4 pm (school gets out at 2:45, but Richelle and Sarah have Balladiers and Ladies First practices on Tuesday and Thursday, so Jerry either gets to hang out somewhere, like in the library, or go to the choir room and watch the practices.  Or he might make some friends and catch a ride with someone else.)


Saturday, January 15, 2005

Hey Dad and Family,

   I'm at Aunt Nancy's right now. We went to the Renaissance thing last night. It was very interesting. Everyone walked around all types of booths for about an hour. All the choir students were dressed up in costume and acted out what type of drama would have been going on at that time.

   There was a kid playing a Jester, and he was just so dramatic. I don't think we have any kids like him in Galt; He was loud. As far as booths there was Palm-reading, tattoo, food, and hats. There were stocks in the middle of the room where guards would put people that had disobeyed. Lauren got put in the stocks, because she was charged with "dressing Badly". It was quite funny.

   After all of that we went into the auditorium and watched a 30 minute acapella choir performance. That was quite good (besides lack of drums).



Their choir had a lot to it. I enjoyed the evening.

  

    Jerry in the church youth band back in 2004

So, how is everything in Galt? I am getting excited because I start school on Tuesday. I needed two more shots (tetnus and hepatitis) but I don't get those for a week.

   I'm getting along real well with Uncle Mike and Mikey. I'm getting into the flow of things. I don't like the water here though. I think I'm gonna get a big pack of bottled water for myself. I talked to Greg last night at the Renaissance thing and we talked about church. I'm gonna see him there 2morrow.

   Well I hope you do good on the Napoleon skit, and everything is well there.

Love,

Jerry


Richelle and Sarah Wilson have a very special relative. All their lives he has been known as
                   'their rich uncle from California.'

A graduate of Coldwater High School, it is no wonder that recently
UncleRob was told that he has the looks of Kip and the personality of Uncle Rico. Perceptive observation.

In 2004, this Uncle came to Coldwater to record with Greg Brayton.

                                                       Isaiah 61:1-4
This song was written while UncleRob was reviewing the notes from a sermon he had preached in Liberia (Feb. 1994).

In the power of the Spirit, Jesus stood up to read in Nazareth's synagogue.
   He
     unrolled
             the scroll and spoke from Isaiah.


Recording Facts: Richelle, Niki, and Sarah (The Wilson Sisters) were released from school to go into the studio and sing backup vocals with Lauren Pierce. Greg Brayton arranged and directed these layered vocals in realtime. As is their custom, St. Gregory plays all the guitars on this piece. Jerry Patterson plays the drums.
