The Messenger Films and The Village

The Village by Lowell G. Evans
www.lyrical4cast.com

“The Village” deals with Lowell G. Evans own personal story and struggles as a man with Epilepsy. The Character in his book is Kevin Bolden I have been incredibly blessed to get to know Lowell and have a copy of his book and its amazing! Its heartwarming, genuine and really points out the trouble and hardships one goes through in dealing with Epilepsy but also with society.

Cristobal Krusen founder and PRESIDENT of Messenger Films befriended Lowell at a Church function and at a recent function that he came to speak at he then explained to everyone the novel, “The Village.” He stated how he had read the novel and had done a “personal interview” with Lowell and found a “deeper message” in the story than the one written by Lowell.

He shared his views about making a movie from “The Village” that it would not only focus on epilepsy, which is why Lowell wrote the book, but on the response to “epilepsy” from society as well. This is what Cris found to be the “areas in the story” that would make it successful in the cinema!

When Cris introduced Lowell to the audience, he informed them of how they met over three (3) years ago at a church function for the men and how the friendship took off from that point. It was then when Lowell shared with everyone the importance of “epilepsy education” in society and especially in the schools. He stated how a movie is needed for this message to reach the millions of people with the condition. Lowell has a statement which says, “I may have epilepsy, but epilepsy does not have me.” The character that he has created in the novel, “Mr. Kevin Bolden” is a name going across the country to represent epilepsy.

Messenger Films and The Village, for Epilepsy Awareness are in the development stage of this project and are spreading the word about the movie that so many people want to see it happen. I for one think a movie about Epilepsy would help bring more awareness for many.

Mr. Donald Neslon says, "I Need A Village"

Mr. Donald Nelson, a high school junior at a local public school in Va.Beach has read the novel, "The Village". The book was a "suggestion" for him to read and here are the results.

Mr. Nelson found "Himself, his family, his friends, and many other people who he sees everyday in the novel. He quickly realized that it was a book of "Inspiration", Not only did he understand that the book was more than just about epilepsy, but he could relate it to the world he saw everyday!

Mr, Nelson decided to do a "book report" on the novel and his response to the book actually made the staff contact the author "Lowell G. Evans" for him to meet. He could not believe that the author was actually living in his city. This was a great opportunity for the student to share what was on his heart after reading a book that "was not assigned" to him! Donald informed the author, "Sir this is the first book I have ever read from beginning to end. I could not put it down,!"

The one thing truly standing out in the report from Mr. Donald Nelson was this, "Sir, I realize now that I do not just want a village, I need a village!"

The book has now been given to another student to read and this student actually called the author, Mr. Evans to say "Thank you" and he had not even read the novel!!

A Life Changing Moment

He Took Away My Complaints

The young man standing next to me is Mr. David Conti Jr. I saw him back in 1999 for the first time. D.J. as he is known by was at his school for the "Field Day Event" for the 1st Graders and Kindergarten.

I volunteered to help that day but was very tired. When the horn blew and all of the students came running across the field to the event, I said to myself, "Lowell, what are you doing here?" Again I was tired and was not ready to work with so many children at 8:30am after working all night.

Well when I saw this young man come across the playground at a "distance" I noticed he was on crutches! I said to myself, "Oh, he is going to have a hard time today." Then as he got closer, I noticed that he only had "one leg"!! I could believe my eyes because he could not have been more than 6 or 7 years old! I could not figure out what had happened to this "Little Boy".

I became scared thinking that he would come to my "Jump Rope Event". I did not know if I should tell him, "No , you can not do this." Then I said to myself if I tried to "help him" he might be embarrassed. Well when the Principal announced, "You can got to any event, win your points and come back to the table and get your prize", I dropped my head and PRAYED that he would not come to the "Jump Rope Event". Well you know "Prayer works".

When I looked up this young man with "One Leg" was the first one to line up for the 50 yard dash! I could not believe it! There he was "Enjoying Life with One Leg" and I was complaining about having to take 4 pills in the morning and 4 pills in the evening to manage my epilepsy!

I walked off the field that day "Thanking God" for what I had experienced! I never met D.J until 5 years later and this is when I found out he had lost his leg to "Cancer" at the age of 4 years old. He still played soccer and was a swimmer! He did everything but "complain". This is one of the people I dedicated my book "The Village" to because "He Took Away My Complaints".

The picture is from my book signing at my church New Life Providence.

Thank you,
