Larry Holden- 1961-2011 was one of the greatest people I’ve ever known. I have never felt this amount of loss in my life. It is unbelievably sad that i will not be able to speak to him ever again. The emptiness is not possible to describe, He truly was one of my best friends. Larry helped me grow as a person and as an artist. He never let me be anything but one hundred percent true to myself. I just don’t know what to do except cry. I’m not angry because I know we all must die. I’m not in denial because I do believe he is gone. The only thing I am sure of, is that I am very sad I’ve lost my great friend.

It’s been a long time coming.

[singlepic=48,320,240,watermark,left]Maybe you started out on a lark, just messing around to have a little fun. Maybe you wanted to see what you can do with just your brain and a little technological help. Maybe you had one good idea that you couldn’t ignore, so you decided to create a little slice of reality, just for that. Somewhere along the way, though, you realize that the ideas keep coming, the drive doesn’t go away and you are thinking beyond the perspective of a hobbyist. You even start to understand a little bit of what you’re doing.

That is where we found ourselves this year – on the cusp of change. In truth, it was a simple question – do we step forward, or not? Yet, despite this, we found ourselves facing turmoil from all kinds of unexpected angles. Change, it seemed, was not an easy prospect.

Today, the situation has finally gotten over most of its growth pains, and we are looking forward to 2008 with nothing but excitement and determination. Stoneworks Entertainment has evolved: we are now Champlain Pictures. We have solid plans to shoot a feature film in the Spring and have already begun work on our first project (a music video for Nowhere Found). The number of connections we have made in the last several months is almost mind-boggling – especially when you consider that most of them came from little more effort on our part than a push for some community spirit among local filmmakers and a desire to make something great.

Everything that has come before was a warm-up. A flexing of the thumbs before pressing Start and journeying on to our great quest.

Stay tuned. And welcome to the next level.
