“THE MEASURE OF A MAN” MOVIE TO PREMIERE IN BAKERSFIELD

 

by Vaun Thygerson
Staff writer and mother of three

 

A local film company will premiere its third feature film, “The Measure of a Man,” on March 25 and 26 at the historic Fox Theatre. The movie based on the inspiring true story of Donald P. Bailey, a charming and eccentric father of nine whose charisma and optimism set him apart from the average dad, was produced by the independent film company Higher Definition Media (HDM).

 

Writer and director, Elizabeth Waite, recreated Donald P. Bailey and brought to life this endearing character-driven story about her father – a man whose optimistic personality and discipline lead him through the Great Depression, WWII, and with his wife, Emogene, raising nine children with the love of music and his golden voice. HDM owner, Andrew Waite, is producer and director of photography. The original musical score is by talented local composer Brianne Sorkin-Lee.

 

Tickets are available for $12 at the Fox Ticket Office and through Vallitix.com. For more information, please visit www.hdmweb.com.

Laurie and Johnny are so relaxed and great to work with! We also knew we would be working with a great crowd since this is the second wedding we have done for the Clerou family. We are so glad they liked us enough to hire us for a second wedding!

We where also lucky to have worked once again with a fantastic group of vendors! Special thanks to Brenna of Seven Oaks, Tim and Jennifer of Artisan Photography, Garden District Flowers, and Mark of Freestyle who is seen breakdancing in this film. We’ve said before and we’ll say it again, awesome vendors make for an awesome wedding! We appreciate everything these vendors have done to make this wedding all the more beautiful and memorable! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Clerou!

They made video such a priority and I think it really shows! We are so glad they put so much trust in us and let us “just do our thing”. They really are the “Ideal Client”.

Lucy and John had a beautiful wedding at the Dolphin Bay Resort and Spa in Pismo Beach, CA. It just so happened that Lucy was in the very same room as a previous bride from earlier this year. Things just really fell into place with this wedding. Big thanks goes out to Panacea for making Lucy and John’s wedding even more beautiful with their florals. Thanks to Perry from Kramer Entertainment for putting on such a great show! It has been a while since we have seen so much energy in a room! This will be a wedding we will remember for years to come!

It helps when you are getting ready at The Padre, it makes our job easier working in such a cool and unique place! Also, having a Fairy Godmother makes a big difference! Colleen and her staff did such an amazing job! It was 106 degrees, but there was an abundance of ice cold Dr. Pepper which made it a lot easier to bare. It also was nice to be close to the Kern River which seemed to make it a few degrees cooler! Interesting fact, we came to learn that the Kern River (the very same river seen in this wedding film) happens to be the 9th deadliest river in the world. Yep, the WORLD! Just thought we should pass that along.

Anyway, it was a great wedding! Bryana is so sweet and Francisco is such a nice guy! Their entire wedding party was so nice and we had shared some great laughs with their groomsmen. Congrats goes out to Bryana and Francisco!

What an incredible day with incredible weather and incredible locations and an incredible couple! We had such a good time with Lynne and Jeff. It was our first time meeting Lynne and Jeff and we were not quite sure what to expect… it only took a few minutes and I knew right away what kind of wedding film was going to fit Lynne and her new husband Jeff. Just like the tempo of her film, Lynne is so upbeat, happy, excited, and full of energy! We where laughing and smiling all day to the point we where sore! These two really know how to celebrate and have a great time! Congratulations go out to the new Mr. and Mrs. Foster! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.
