May marks the fifth anniversary of the start of our production company. This is such an exciting milestone for us. They say that most small businesses fail within the first five years. So I feel like we've gotten past a significant time period. I can now let out an enthusiastic "Whew!" Of course, we've more than just "not failed." From international awards, to podcast production, to book publishing, our little media company has come a long way in a short time. I'm proud of what we've accomplished in the past five years, and I'm looking forward to what we have in store for the future. Thanks to all of you who have helped get us where we are today.
This month also marks the fifth anniversary of the weekend I proposed to Tasra (August will be our fifth anniversary). On Memorial Day weekend, 2002, I got down on one knee and said those four, magical words. So, it is only fitting that on this momentous occasion, I display for your viewing pleasure, the very first wedding-related video produced by Cinematic Studios. It was my very own love story, which we showed on our wedding day Aug 3, 2002. It's fitting to show now because part of the video has a re-enactment of the proposal. You'll notice that the opening titles say "Don Ron Entertainment Presents" "A Cinematic Video Production." Don Ron Entertainment was the company's original name, based on my swing dancing nick name (long story for another post). We later changed the name to Cinematic Video Productions. The moniker "Cinematic Studios" actually wasn't created until about March of 2003.
Enjoy the video! (Click image to play).

Hi Ron! Congratulations to you and Tasra on your 5 year engagement anniversary and on Cinematic Studios turning 5 years old. Your love story video was absolutely beautiful...I'm not much of a crier and didn't cry at my own wedding, but I got all teary eyed and weepy seeing your video. I'm very happy for you both! What a truly blessed thing it is to find your soul mate in one another. Keep up the wonderful and stellar work with your production company, too! I'm so proud and deeply grateful to have been a Cinematic Studios bride.
