TAFF 2013 ADDS WAYMAKER FUND TO THIS YEAR’S FEST

A large part of TAFF’s mission is to support and empower talented Christian filmmakers to make the films God has called them to make. They often struggle with funding and support. In order to gather this support, filmmakers will often make a short film with the hopes of turning the same short into a longer version. In some cases, this never happens or It may take years to accomplish.

So, in light of this, TAFF is introducing the WAYMAKER FUND sponsored by MANNA MEDIA to this year’s fest.

This fund is to specifically help a deserving filmmaker turn their short film into a feature length. The recipient of this year’s fund will be announced Sat April 20th at 8:30pm at the Awards Presentation. Don’t miss it.

SpiritFest 2012 a Huge Success

Categories: Infos, News, Top Items

What a Glorious Day at the Dell Diamond

From the Opening act of Switchfoot to the closing act of Mercy Me, SpiritFest 2012 built upon the success of last year’s inaugural event. Playing to a crowd of over 12,000 people the day was marked by moments of fun and worship.

The Texas heat was kept at bay with an overcast sky in the early afternoon, and then a cold front blew through around dinner time, making for a perfect “sweater weather” outing in the evening. Adding to last year’s attractions, Spirit 105.9 added a fun zone with rides for the more adventurous and a petting zoo complete with pony rides and a variety of furry friends.

The TAFF booth was very busy, and we appreciate those of you who visited us while at the concert!

Local Art Show Benefits Female Victims of Sexual Abuse

Austin Area Artists, Including work by Rhea Brown with Phoenix Art Studio, Joi with Zappy Springs Photography and Taylor Rae Sterns who is a local up & coming Austin music artist To Be Auctioned – Proceeds Will Fund Therapy for Abuse Victims

December 17, 2012 – Crowns of Hope, a program of Christian Aunts & Uncles, is dedicated to helping victims of abuse receive needed therapy, will host an art auction beginning November 11^th and culminating on December 17^th.

The art will be on display and open for public viewing, at:

Cana Gallery, 7801 N. Lamar Bldg. C Suite 71 Austin, TX 78752
7801 N. Lamar Bldg. C Suite 71 Austin, TX 78752
Bldg. C
Austin, TX 78752

All proceeds will be used to provide therapy for female victims of sexual abuse.

Victims of sexual abuse often go years without speaking about their experiences. Therapy, the chance to talk about what happened to them, is often the first definitive step toward real recovery for them, ” says Toni McKinley, founder and program director of Crowns of Hope. “For many, the costs involved in therapy are keeping them from taking that first step.

“I use my art work to tell stories that will inspire people to become set free from emotional and mental bondage. This fundraiser is an opportunity for me to not only do this through my painting but through the finances that it will produce as well,” says Rhea Brown director and artist of Phoenix Art Institute.

This event will feature numerous artists from Austin and the surrounding area. The artists work will include oil & acrylic paintings plus many other types of media. The event will culminate with an auction and the beautiful music of Taylor Rae Stearns.

Crowns of Hope is an Austin based nonprofit whose sole mission is to help female victims of sexual abuse receive therapy.

Seven Days in Utopia – Playing in Select Cities

Categories: News

From The Guys at “Tales from the Tour”

(click here to search for theatres in your area)

An inspiring tale, appropriate for the whole family.

To go to the main website for “Seven Days in Utopia, click here

We are very proud to share with you the background of this group and the men that make it a calling. It all started with a transcript that was shared with golf instructors, PGA professionals and a few well intentioned individuals here in Phoenix that started the most unlikely of journeys… Using Golf as a metaphor for life, family, work and faith; this transcript became a book, the book became an outreach program, those programs became events under the Bird’s Nest Tent at the Phoenix Open, these events led to men’s groups and Bible Studies where a guide and study book was developed. The book is called “Golf’s Sacred Journey,” men’s groups started across the country using the companion Study Guide, this movement blossomed into a movie script that was once again guided by some of the same men that started this journey — right here in the Valley of the Sun.

Tales from the Tour, and the men behind it, continue their work as a Christian Ministry dedicated to helping men find their faith and help lead them from a Golf Book to The Book! Our time together focuses on Biblical principles as they apply to every day life as a Husband, Father, Friend, Family Member and Professional. This site is dedicated to sharing our journey in hopes you will join us to discover yours.
