My Name is Jerry

Door-to-door salesman, Jerry Arthur’s life is filled with slamming doors and low expectations. The world has lost its attraction. He is a middle-aged divorcee with an unsure and unwanted future, a daughter he has not seen or spoken to in years, a dead-end job and low self-esteem. But one day Jerry stumbles on a group of young people with their futures before them. Their energy and music reminds him that you can influence your life for the better regardless of the past…if you choose to do so.

the Alpha and the Mega

What is a megachurch? Within the world of religion there exists a church so large it houses thousands of people, so popular that it brings in millions of dollars every year, so influential that it can sway a presidential election, and so misunderstood that less than 15% of America knows the truth about the megachurch. Over 1,250 megachurches are spread across the United States and with their growing numbers comes growing opposition to their size, their methods, and their ideology.

“The Alpha and the Mega” explores the megachurch phenomenon with a look at the different types of megachurches, their origins, and of course their opposition.

Find out the real truth about America’s largest churches.

“This was a ground-breaking film looking at the insights of mission from a larger church perspective. Larger churches have resources, structure, independence and volunteers which makes their participation in the future of world mission of both crucial and strategic importance.”

Silvered Lute; A Wang Wei Song Album

Soprano soloist, Mei Zhong and pianist, Jim Helton recorded Silvered Lute in the Music Technology Studios at Ball State University. The multilingual album features compositions by Derek Healey, Hua Lin, Judith Cloud, Joaquin Turina Perez and Eleanor Trawick.

Released on North Pacific Music, NPM-LD-033

…Mei Zhong’s singing is beautiful, warm, and highly expressive. As a Puccini soprano, she brings a flawless singing line and heartfelt lyricism to every song.

–Judith Carman, Journal of Singing, Sept./Oct. ’09, Vol. 66, No. 1, NATS

This is our third album together. I used an AEA R44 for Mei’s vocals. The album was recorded in the studio but Mei didn’t want a studio sound. She wanted a large hall sound but I liked the clarity of a more intimate studio sound. We compromised by using the R44 from two feet away. Its natural smoothing of the high end softens her powerful voice.  Jim Helton’s piano (yes, we moved his piano into the studio) was recorded with a stereo pair of Sennheiser MKH 80 microphones (90 degrees, 12 cm). These were placed a few feet out from the curve of the piano. I laser sighted the mics for voice and piano between sessions so that we could get a reasonable level of repeatability.
