My Featured Blogger this week is Joe Siccardi of Father Says. Joe is a career newsman who worked in New York, Washington DC, and various other cities before becoming the publisher of an upstate New York newspaper. Still, he draws most of his savvy and down-to-earth wisdom from 40+ years of life as a father and (now widowed) husband.
Don’t assume his “Featured” status here is solely because it happens to be a review of my film Healing River (well, OK, that may have had some influence on my choice)…
Visit his blog and see for yourself why I’ve been cribbing his Father-ly advice for years!
I received an e-mail from a friend of mine the other day. I hadn’t heard from Mitch Teemley for awhile, although I do periodically check out his blog, The Power of Story. He offers stories with a message. Or, as he says, “A little wit. A little wisdom. That’s it. Not always funny, but more often than not (I was born with an indelible smirk)”.
Mitch also uses a similar format in his posts as I do in mine — themed during the week. He is a storyteller living in Cincinnati.
Professionally, he is a writer, filmmaker, public speaker and president of a production company called Moriah Media.
The meat of the e-mail, however, was the introduction of a feature film he wrote and directed. Healing River (formerly Over-the-Rhine) has just been released!
Healing River premiered on Amazon Prime in mid-May and is receiving rave reviews! Anyone…

Congratulations! I watched it last week. A powerful story! I especially appreciated the conversations between the mom and young man while he was in detention. 🙂 Question-did you make a cameo appearance in the film?

Yes, briefly. I played the psychologist with the glasses overseeing the group therapy session. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Question: Did you by any chance leave a brief review at Amazon or IMDb? Reviews help create more visibility for the film at Amazon (plus, we’re trying the undercut the effect of an internet troll attack on IMDb!). Blessings till it hurts!
