Logos Bible Study — in their July, 2010 Newsletter, features a story about how Films You Feel's Louie Stevens became a video writer / director / editor, and how Logos and Louie met read it here.

The :60 TV Public Service Announcement we created for Casa de Amparo's fundraising campaign won a 2009 International Telly Award!

Louie Stevenswriter, producer, director (and owner), of Films You Feel and Magic Music Productions LLC, is honored to have been asked to join the International Telly Awards Silver Council. Only video producers who consistently are awarded International Silver Telly's (their highest award), are asked to be on the Telly awards Silver Council, who then judge other video entries for awards.

Louie was chosen to serve on the Silver Telly Council after recently being awarded two 1st Place Tellys for videos for Casa de Amparo and Seaside Center for Spiritual Living. In addition, in 2004 Louie was awarded a "Best of the Best" 25th Anniversary Gold International Telly Award for the video he wrote, produced, directed and edited for Welcome Back Centers.

For the 18th year in a row, composer Louie Stevens writer, producer, director and owner of Films You Feel and Magic Music Productions LLC, was awarded an ASCAP Special Award for the 13 songs he wrote for the World's #1 peer-pressure, drug-education video: Don't Say Yes When You Really Mean No! and: Raging Hormones, the World's #1 Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Avoidance video.

ASCAP is the American Society of Composers and Publishers, which Louie joined in 1987 as a writer member (both music and lyrics).

Louie wrote the musical video Don't Say Yes When You Really Mean No! in th late 1980's while he was the Music Director with "Just Say No" International remember Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" Clubs with more than one million schoolkid members?

Since 1989, more than 10,000 schools, libraries and youth groups have purchased both "Don't Say Yes..." and "Raging Hormones," and in fact, both videos are still popular today and continue to be purchased! To date, an estimated 10 million schoolchildren worldwide have viewed these two educational videos!

The ASCAP Special Awards Program is a financial award given to ASCAP members whose songs are not able to earn royalties because they are presented in non-profit venues such as schools, libraries and youth groups.

Two of our clients projects were awarded 2008 International Communicator Awards. The International Communicator Awards are administered by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. Each year there are 8,500+ videos entered which — rather then being judged against each other, are judged on their own individual merits. We were awarded Communicator Awards of Distinction for our client SelfHelpWorks new eight hour web training video, and for our client ChaosOver's two hour web training video.

In 2007 we were awarded four International TELLY Awards! The TELLY Awards are like the "Oscars" for non-broadcast video productions. Each year there are 13,000+ entries which — rather then being judged against each other, are judged on their own individual merits.

We were awarded a 1st Place 2007 International TELLY Award for the "Seaside Center for Spirtual Living" video. A first place International Telly Award is rather difficult to get. In fact, of the 13,000+ entries in 2007, only about 600 were awarded a 1st place TELLY — less than 5% of the entrants, making this a very special honor for us and for "Seaside Center for Spirtual Living."

We also were awarded three 2nd Place 2007 International TELLY's. About 2,500 of the 13,000+ entries in 2007 were awarded a 2nd place TELLY.

We won for our updated Welcome Back video, Eddie Osterland, America's 1st Master Sommelier, and the third for Wealth Masters... Shopping and Cooking with Deanna for Optimum Health.

We also were awarded two Honorable Mentions in the highly prestigeous Columbus International Film & Video Competition, one for Eddie Osterland, America's 1st Master Sommelier, and the other for Wealth Masters... Shopping and Cooking with Deanna for Optimum Health.

Her letter inspires other children to write as well, and inspires Karl to write this song.
