J videotaped both interviews that the Cafe' Be At conducted with Ron Russell
as he related his amazing life story -- The Greatest Story Never Told.
Imagine being
behind the camera as Ron described the events surrounding the murder of
guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. She filmed while Ron told how he changed the
course of history by helping to thwart the attempted murder of Dr. Martin
Luther King in 1962, how Martin soon became his best friend who helped
him with his reading by having Ron research Bible passages for Dr. King's
speeches, how Martin called Ron first moments after receiving word of
his Nobel Peace Award and offered to split the prize money with Ron for
his help and spirit. How Ron was torn apart when a cowardly assassing
took the life of his best friend. That was just the tip of the iceberg
of peaceful mans story, and the first interview.
Ok, now imagine
that you're videotaping the second interview when Ron reveals the reason
that he was thrust into the paths of these two historic figures: that
it was his destiny which had been set on June 5, 1955, when the Revelation
Fires descended upon Ron, at age 4, and his congregation. "The church
was on fire, but it wasn't being consumed by the flames," Ron said,
"I became known as 'The Child', because I was annointed by the Lord
on the day."
Finally,
imagine that these were your first sessions as a videographer. Further
imagine that you are 14 years old.
That is how
PJ launched her career as a videographer.
