I didn't grow up with this book.
I found MacDonald as an adult, and he changed how I see faith, fear, and the unseen.
That's why The Princess and the Goblin is our first.
It deserves a film made with the same care he put into the story.
The Princess and the Goblin is in development at StuDEO.
George MacDonald wrote it in 1872. A princess, a miner boy, goblins beneath the mountain, and a grandmother’s thread that never breaks.
Families have kept it for 150 years. We aim to bring it to the big screen with care.

Grok knows there's value in the search, that meaning can be found, and that excellence in the Golden Age of story and cinema can be revived to that end.
Here he is: the ~718-follower producer building WatchStuDEO films of truth, goodness, and beauty. Faith, family, and freedom first. Longevity and abundance mean little without wonder and purpose from the One who made all things.

You look at this and you wonder, "What am I following for?"
Simple answer — Impact.
Many of these kind souls want to turn the world upside-down again!
Add @WatchStuDEO to THAT list! One movie or show at a time!
Analog life.
Accomplishment. A smell of oil burning off the manifold.
Wealth. A cacophony of pots, pans, silverware, and gathering voices settling into "how was your day?"
Comfort. A waft of burnt hair as big sister yields to fifth in line for the hall bath.
The vow. Living.
Just a reminder that it’s normal to drive your car until it dies, cook dinner most nights, live in a smaller home, pack your lunch, keep your phone until it stops working, buy used before buying new, make coffee at home, and wear the same clothes for years.

Set one more plate. Leave the light on.

Quite a few people have replied to this "challenge."
"Beautiful things" are being made.
Wouldn't it be great if Mr. Marsden engaged those who are getting it done?
Every boost counts for those who need an audience to support what they ARE DOING!
We need to make beautiful things.
Great movies that inspire hope.
Amazing music that lifts souls.
These things are not trivial.
Our abandonment of them has contributed to the desperation of the youth.
They have very little to inspire them.

Adapting a book isn’t copying it.
It’s asking what the reader felt and finding a way for the audience to feel it too.

We have to rediscover an active politic of first principles, a new and uniquely American Anti-Revolutionary Party.
What we need is "The Practice of Political Spirituality".
BEGIN: cantaroinstitute.org/wp-cont…
In looking at causes for tonight’s results, one important data point—in the 2022 midterms, around 24% of white evangelical Christians (the most reliably conservative bloc of religious voters) voted. In 2026, only 17% did.
In other words, a significant amount of America’s salt decided not to have flavor when it comes to elections. And when that happens, it fails to preserve.

I came to MacDonald as a grown man.
He didn’t talk down to me. He wrote like the child in me was still listening.

We reclaim by telling our own stories of faith, family and heritage, and freedom purchased by the blood of our bravest, in service to the One True King who died, and was raised to seat an eternal throne.
The story of The Princess and the Goblin is our first.
Believe. Trust.
Every story starts with an empty seat.
Somebody has to believe a person will sit in it.
Somebody has to make a film worth sitting for.

Song of the South turns 80 in November.
March 20, 1948: The Academy gave James Baskett a statuette "for his able and heart-warming characterization of Uncle Remus, friend and storyteller to the children of the world."
Ed calls it an Eternal Oscar. I think he's right.

Song of the South turns 80 in November!?!?!
For the love of all things Free Speech, @elonmusk, will you help us license/acquire this to stream, so all the world can celebrate Oscar winning actor James Baskett?
#FreeUncleRemus
@glennbeck Will you please do a segment on Oscar winning actor James Baskett?He was Uncle Remus in Walt Disney's Song of the South. In Nov this purged film turns 80.He's the first black man to receive an Oscar, it was a superior eternal Oscar for this role.I have lots of docs.
Come on, @elonmusk, let's get this movie back on the big screen and into the homes of families everywhere!
#FreeJamesBaskett
And this is my thread analyzing James Baskett's Oscar winning performance. xitter.gq/Real_Ed_McCray/status/…

My penchant...
Making movies out of the stories our children and grandchildren grow up inside. The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald (The inspiration behind J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis).

In The Princess and the Goblin, the grandmother's thread is almost invisible. Irene holds it anyway, in the dark, trusting what she can't see.
Too many faith-and-family films are shot as if wonder won't count unless God is proven on camera.
Stewardship of Excellence includes what you leave unseen. Mystery is part of the medium.
What film scene made you feel faith is real without ever showing it?

What I’ve seen over the last few days.
Brothers/Sisters in Christ and others spoke too soon about Samuel Sey’s situation. Below is a real Truth seeker’s honest comment.
Now I’m back to work building a business to make faith, family, and freedom movies and shows, beginning with a feature-length animated adaptation of George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin over @WatchStuDEO.
I have received a statement from DHS regarding Sam Sey:
“On October 21, ICE arrested Samuel Sey, an illegal alien from Ghana, at the Columbus International Airport. Sey entered the United States legally in 2022 but overstayed his length of admission by over four years, in violation of our nation’s laws. Sey has no pending applications and accepted voluntary departure. He will remain in ICE custody until removed from the United States.
“We do not pick and choose which laws to enforce or where to enforce them.
“We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” - DHS SPOX
As I get more information, I will update.
