Angela Harger

Inside the Christian Actresses Studio

Angela Harger Angela Harger

Angela is an actress and artist based in Austin,Texas. Like all good actresses, she works in the food service industry to pay her rent while she waits for her big break. She has enjoyed working on independent film sets, national commercials (she appeared for two seconds in a recent Superbowl commercial), and you may have heard her voice in a few radio spots. She is a pro-life, Jesus loving, Hollywood bound actress.  Would you like fries with that?

Here’s a sample of Angela’s work.

Sabrina Blackwell

Sabrina and CrabSabrina owns her own graphic design business, is active in the pro-life and Catholic Young adult circles in Austin, loves dancing, musical theatre, cooking, red wine, and is a crazy cat lady.  She can quote just about every song from just about every Disney movie.  Here is some of Sabrina’s work.

Motivation for “Joe’s People”

I’m going to post this as a permalink, but I wanted to share my motivation for the podcast/website.  Forgive the formatting, the wordpress formatter is even worse than Word:

Motivation: Why do I want to do this?

  • I want to tell the stories, mainly about the Catholic community, that need to be told
  • I want to show how Catholics live out their faith in Austin (the interesting ones, at least)
  • Discover and share insights from the Saints.  Got a problem?  They’ve already written about it 500 years before you were born.  We try to reinvent the spiritual wheel a bit much.
  • This is one of my ways of tithing (unless it generates a cash stream)
  • I want to shine a light on the 1/3 of the church that is single in a church that counts its parish sizes in “families”.
  • I want to help foster a sense of community
  • I want to share with my family what the heck I do in Austin, and introduce all the amazing people I’ve been blessed to get to know in my years here.

It’s all coming together!! First podcast recording coming up!!

OK, I’ve lined up two amazing and beautiful ladies to interview as my first guests.
Another very photogenic young lady and my friend Arlen will join me to discuss Sacred Poetry.
We have musicians ready to go. The JOE’s PEOPLE logo is looking awesome, thanks to Sabrina Vega!

We still have to finalize a location for recording where we can have a small audience and decent
acoustics, but it’s all coming together.

First podcast recording targeted for March 2nd, possibly will slip to Sat March 9th. We do some
editing, and then it goes live on the interweb at 8pm the next day.

Making of the “Joe’s People” Theme Song

So I wrote the lyrics and starting beat and melody for our theme song. Katie Holmes, my favorite local swing singer/fiddle player/swing dancer, worked her magic on it and made it hum. My good friend Paul was nice enough to let us use his studio and work the sound mixing. Katie’s friend Jake played the snare drum, and Paul’s friend Mike backed up on the bass.

I should have gotten video and pictures for a Behind the Music special, sorry.
