In a backwater Florida town, tiny New Hope Missionary Baptist Church stands as testament to faith, hope, hard work, and the best tasting barbecue for miles.

In Faith, Hope and BBQ, coming Fall 2011 from filmmaker Ernie Mosteller, you’ll meet the Pastor / Preacher / Barbecue Man, the Sunday School Teacher who guards her collard green recipe, the congregation who pray, the customers who pay, plus the faith, food, work and joy that keep New Hope very much alive.

Los Angeles pop artist Lisa Pearl sells her iconic furniture designs through exclusive boutiques, to a celebrity glitter crowd. One-on-one, she’s as brash and punk as ever. In four short portrait films, Lisa defines her work and herself as only Lisa can. This is one of the finished pieces – made for lisapearl.net, retailer websites, in-store displays, and trunk show displays.
