JEFF'S WRITING PORTFOLIO

Here are a few samples of recent articles. I have a variety of different formats and subjects. Some are based on interviews, others are from my experiences in television and ministry. I write both, technology and inspirational pieces. Most of these have links directly to the publisher's web site. Others have PDFs taken right from the publication.

My first cover feature! I interviewed one of the leading outdoor cinematographers, Gavin Thurston. He's worked on every continent and has worked for Disney Nature, Nova, Nature and many BBC productions. We talked about his many adventures including what it takes to film in the wild on documentaries like "Bears" and "Monkey Kingdom".

My family had the distinct honor of getting a private tour of Trilith. This is an article I did for Videomaker. If you've never heard of Trilith, it's Georgia's best kept secret. It's the biggest movie studio outside California and is connected with an incredible little town. It was designed to be the hub for creatives.

How Trilith Studios Is Pioneering the Future of VFX

Over the past few years I've written many articles for Outreach Magazine. This is a monthly that features stories great ministries around the world. I connected with Zach Harrod the coach of the Prague Lions, an American Football team in The Czech Republic. He has an incredible story! We had a great conversation.

The Church Tech Fail that Inspired "Silent Night"

Over the years, I've developed an interest in the origins of Christmas songs. This is a devotional piece that I wrote for Church Productions Magazine. It has become a re-occurring Christmas feature on their web site. It's the story of one of the most recorded songs of all time - "Silent Night".

A Christian's Guide to
Walt Disney World Resort

It took more than 5 years and a couple of trips to Florida to produce my devotional guide to Disney World. It's a really unique concept. Inside you'll find biblical ties to your favorite rides and attractions from all the lands at Disney World. The excerpt is actually a lesson that didn't make the book's final edit. So it's really a "lost lesson".
