The Abundance Fairy? Last spring, we were going to host the first ever A-MAY-ZING Heritage Makers training in Minneapolis in mid-May. I wanted it to be educational, rewarding, and most of all - fun. The teachers at our school had filmed a crazy video showing "things not to do in school" including frying bacon in the girls bathroom (this really happened), smoking in cars in the parking lot, not being late for class, etc. and it inspired me.
Anyway, we have a few students that are into movie-making, so I wrote a script and gathered the troops one afternoon (it was pretty urgent because our training was coming up very fast) and we filmed in the library of our school. I literally grabbed kids that were in the school at that time - I wanted Micalie involved in it, but she had a rehearsal at the other school that day, so every warm, willing body was fair game.
We ended up with 2 boys and 4 girls who played the parts of a new consultant and party guests who were doing all the wrong things, but of course, the Abundance Fairy saved the day and made the celebration a success! From then on, it was providence. The film made it's way to Utah and even a short showing at Reunion.
Stay tuned for the sequel.
