Devin Brown’s Video Interviews with Micheal Flaherty
Last spring Micheal Flaherty, President of Walden Media, visited Asbury College as part of its Engaging Culture weekend (report here). As those who have met him know, he is a truly great man–full of wisdom, enthusiasm, real joy, and deep compassion. While he was on campus, Devin Brown had the opportunity to ask him about Walden’s mission, where its name came from, and even what his favorite scene is. His response to these and other questions can be viewed in “An Interview with Micheal Flaherty” which has been posted at the Asbury TV website.
Awesomeness! Thanks for the interview…
Yay for homeschoolers! Didn't know he homeschooled his kids.
I really like Walden Media, its refreshing amongst all the materialistic movie companies out there.
sweet!
That's really cool! I am glad you told us.
Awesome!!!
For all of those people who are worried about how VDT turns out, they should watch "rapid fire questions about Voyage of the Dawn Treader". He says that it'll be closer "in spirit" to LWW and that Michael Apted has captured the character of Eustace in the same way that Andrew Adamson understood Lucy. It provides a little bit of relief to diehard fans of the book. I also enjoyed the other questions and their thoughts on the series and favorite scenes and stuff. A very good interview to watch.
i know, if they watch this they will probly calm down, and not be worried. im not worried at all
I hope you are right.
You know what I was and am homeschooled, so I am glad that their is a homeschool point of view of the VOD movie.
sweet! That's really cool that he homeschools his kids. I'm homeschooled too. Always have and always will. 🙂
where did you see that?
I'm a diehard fan and would like some rellif! 😉
You are talken to one
Yea where?
When you click on the URL above provided, scroll down in the videos to find the "rapid fire" video, there are descriptions.
I HS too. I am in junior high
me too, am a senior this year! really great interview too!
He also mention that the part where Eustace is undragoned is one of his favorites. I'm feeling a little more hopeful. However, I'm worried about HHB since he said (I don't remember if he said it in one of the clips or if Devin Brown quoted what he had said another time) that it is is least favorite book and the least likely to be made into a movie.
Where does he mention homeschooling? I myself am a proud homeschooler too 🙂
Yes where
So am I! Homeschoolers unite! 😀
I haven't seen it, but I heard quite some time back that VDT is supposed to be aimed to get back to more of "that magical feeling" that was in LWW.
ALSOME! 😀 SAIL ON VDT!!! 😀
If you watch the video "What is your favorite book?" Brown totally NAILS what VDT and HHB are all about: Longing. And that quote from Lewis is so applicable to both books. Devin Brown is one of my heroes.
Can't see the video
I agree. I loved hearing both their opinions about Narnia and the themes and everything. I feel a lot better about how VDT is going to turn out. Especially since he said his favorite scene is the undragoning of Eustace. I'm anxiously waiting to see how it all turns out!
That's almost exactly how Michael Flaherty worded it. 😉
im a home schooler too!!!
yo quiero que lo pongan disney channel eh o nada mas disney eh por favor por que yo soy su fans de numero 1 sisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisi bye
It's almost like he's speaking spanglish instead of spanish.
Is he doing it just to be funny?
Thanks.^^
I think hes just doing it to mess with us.
I think he probably is. You know, for instance, if someone goes on a website in a different language, they might decide to be goofy and write weird stuff since they think no one will probably understand anyway. (He doesn't respond when someone asks him if he knows English.) What he says doesn't always make sense. I put it below. I did look on the Spanish translator on Google for it.
"I want you to put disney channel disney eh eh or anything else please because I am his number 1 fan bye sisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisi."
That's just weird. And funny. And kind of rude….oh well.
ThaT'S A BIT ANNOYING…
For those of you who are home schooled what do you think of the Narnia series as a whole.
I've always wanted to be homeschooled….. 😉
I LUV IT! *grin* (Whether I'm getting into big debates or not on the small details!) What else?
Hope everything goes well for you.
Well if you are not homeschooled, welcome to the Narniaweb Homeschooled circle
Yay! Asbury finally put up those videos! I knew there was a camera there for a reason…Thanks for finding those! I've been meaning to look, but life sort of exploded on me. Yes, Fire Fairy, the reason I said in my report, "you guys have nothing to worry about" is because of what Mr. Apted said in the "Rapid Fire Questions" [http://www.asbury.edu/asburytv/view/flaherty_q14](as well as some things we talked about in an unofficial interview). I will say it again, there is nothing to worry about if you are a fan of the book!
Further up and Further in!
