TELEVISION SERIES PILOTThe Circle

THE CIRCLE takes us on an intimate and compelling journey into the lives of three cancer pateints and their families. We follow them through various stages of their battle--from the first reactions after an oinitial diagnosis... to struggles with treatments and the doctors providing them... to successes and setbacks... to remission or cure... to coming to terms with the word "terminal"... to saying goodbye and letting go. We find courage in their determination and learn from their discoveries. We celbrate their victories and mourn their losses.

The people are real. Their fight is real. There is no prize money, no schemeing, no sabotage. "Winning" demands the best that the human spirit has to offer, since the stakes are literally life and death.

LIVING SPACES FURNITURE

"Buy it today, enjoy it tonight." That's the motto that has made Living Spaces a Southern California success story. Since their opening in 2003, Creative Edge Communications has handled writing and production of the store's TV and radio spots. Today, with four locations and a fifth on the way, they have more than earned the title, "California's favorite furniture store." Living Spaces is owned and staffed by some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Don't you just love it when the good guys win?

About Tomorrow

ABOUT TOMORROW... "Real comfort and encouragement from real people who've lost someone they love." Fred Frank, president of Comfort Music and a long-time client and friend of Creative Edge Communications, had a vision to produce a practical resource that would offer consolation to grieving families. The result is "About Tomorrow," a 65-minute audio product written, recorded, and produced by Steve Harris.

The project was shelved for a time as Steve's wife lost her battle with breast cancer. As time passed and the fog of grief began to lift, Steve felt ready to get back to work.  However, it was no longer just part of his job; it was part of his journey toward healing. 

The program is built around interviews Steve recorded with more than 20 grieving people who had lost parents, husbands, wives, or children.  Some of the deaths followed long illness; others were sudden and unexpected—a routine surgery gone wrong, a car accident... even a murder.  Some had healthy relationships with the people they lost; others had “complications.”  Their honest, open, and sometimes emotional comments offer those in grief the comfort of knowing that they're not alone… the confidence that someone does understand… the assurance that their feelings are normal.

The program is fully orchestrated and includes original productions of songs by Steven Curtis Chapman and Wayne Watson.

Helicopter
Take to the sky! Steve Harris took the controls of the Cineflex Hi-Def aerial camera system to shoot exteriors for Living Spaces Furniture. This is a top-of-the-line camera stabilization rig that yields extraordinary results. For Steve, it was a great way to combine two of his favorite pastimes: flying and shooting video.

"I Thought I Was Covered." Child Welfare Insurance Brokers works exclusively for organizations and individuals who care for kids, plugging the holes in traditional insurance policies that can leave these agencies dangerously unprotected. Creative Edge produced a DVD that describes the program and its benefits. We rented the set used for "People's Court" and hired a cast to help us illustrate the plight of an inadequately-covered children's home executive.

The Alternative with Dr. Tony Evans
Dr. Tony Evans has been an incredibly faithful client and friend since our company's beginning back in 1989. Since that time, his ministry has expanded dramatically. He is a sought-after speaker, author of numerous books, and a nationally recognized leader in pastoral training and church outreach. His ministry in Dallas, TX was the inspiration for President George W. Bush's "faith-based" social-service initiatives. Creative Edge Communications handles the writing and production of Dr. Evans' radio broadcasts, "The Alternative" (30-minute weekday and weekend) and "The Alternative View" (2-minute weekday). To learn more about this dynamic ministry, click here.

Do-it-yourselfers learn to "Clive It" in this weekly TV series aimed at woodworking and gardening enthusiasts who can't afford a huge workshop and tons of tools. Creative Edge Communications provided script writing, production, post-production, duplication, distribution and viewer support for the broadcast, which aired on select PBS stations nationally. Check out our on-location photo gallery and learn more about the program. Click here.
