Getting Started

I spent this week getting in contact with Rick, the subject of the film and trying to set up an initial meet so we can discuss the film and how he can expect to be involved. We have planned a meeting for next week after he returns from a trip to New York. 

I also researched different committees and organizations that he is involved with like the Pleasure Island Parrot Heads. Which is a Jimmy Buffett influenced social club that comes together on environmental and community projects. This among other things lead me to some events that would be  great additions to the film, like the annual Beach Sweep on September 27th were they get together and clean up Carolina Beach. 

The following is the treatment for our film:

Legacy Treatment

    The impact another individual can have on a person’s life can be immeasurable. Even the smallest moments can make a lasting impression. What a person imprints on others, or the impact they make in lives is the legacy which they create. Legacies come from individuals rooted within their own personal values– someone who demonstrates self-awareness and possesses enough faith in themselves to challenge the status quo. It finds it’s footing within a deep compassion for others and a desire to build them up. Legacy is not grandiose and unobtainable, neither does it come without risk. It requires ambition and the determination to continue.

    Rick Rogge is a realtor and long-time resident of Carolina Beach, NC currently transitioning into his next life chapter– becoming a medical missionary in the South Pacific. In past years, he has built his business on integrity and honesty, beginning in construction, moving on to real-estate development and finally settling on real-estate investment. Rick has also spent countless hours in service to his community, sitting on 4 local committees. All of his endeavors focus on improving the quality of life for those around him. He has built his reputation by becoming a valued member of his community.

    This film will follow Rick as he transitions to this new life chapter. It will explore the legacy he has created by showing his influence on the Carolina Beach community through the lives of the people he has impacted. It will also highlight the challenges faced by those transitioning to life on a boat. The goal is to look into the life of an individual who demonstrates legacy and find in it truths that help make life meaningful.
