For some time, the Arndt family has been filming and producing the FamTeam and Safe At Home television programs. During the winter of 2011, the family (or at least several members of it) began work on a third TV project, one that has ushered them into the exciting and yet-to-be-explored territory of fiction.
Bearing the tentative title of Vine Valley, the new series is set in the rugged beauty of western New York, and specifically the central Finger Lakes region (including Ontario and Yates Counties). As of the present time, the program features the following Arndts in the following roles:
Joseph Greene |
Rick Arndt |
|---|---|
Eliza Easterly |
Cathy Arndt |
Ben Mathewson |
Paul Arndt |
Glen (last name yet to be determined) |
Philip Arndt |
Will (last name yet to be determined) |
John Arndt |
Tim (last name yet to be determined) |
Seth Arndt |
Alex (last name yet to be determined) |
Jacob Arndt |
Mike (last name yet to be determined) |
Seth Arndt |
Jude Arndt, with the assistance of Philip (when he is not on camera), has been heading up the filming and editing efforts for the new show.
We envision the series (at present we are at work on the pilot program) to be a blend of drama, comedy, romance, action, and inspiration. In an effort to keep our website visitors apprised of our efforts, we have decided to present, on a weekly basis, segments of footage that have been culled from our filming sessions.
These clips are being offered in a random fashion, without reference to any larger context or story line. (That's a fancy way of saying that we don't yet have an actual script!) In an effort to provide our visitors with some background or structure, we include a link to the yet-to-be-completed Winter on the Mountain manuscript, upon which the Vine Valley pilot episode has been loosely based.
Considering the fact that the project involves a great plunge of faith, we ask that our FamTeam friends keep the show -- and all of us -- in their prayers!
