When the bus service hires a security guard to watch over the night shift, Michael comes face to tattooed face with Pineapple, a 300-lb punk rock Samoan who challenges him with a kick in the ass to break from the loop and start living or risk driving in circles forever. LONG SYNOPSIS Michael (Charlie Tahan) is a recent graduate whose post college plan is derailed when his girlfriend leaves him for a job in New York City. Stuck in Ohio without a new plan of his own, Michael finds himself caught in the endless loop of driving the "drunk bus," the debaucherous late-night campus shuttle that ferries drunk college students from parties to the dorms and back. When the bus service hires a security guard to watch over the night shift, Michael comes face to tattooed face with Pineapple, a 300-lb punk rock Samoan who challenges him with a kick in the ass to break from the loop and start living or risk driving in circles forever. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT We are very fortunate to have found that partner in our producer, Eric Hollenbeck (NATIVE SON, TOMORROW MAN, KINGS OF SUMMER), who immediately supported our creative vision, believed Pineapple could hold his own on screen and knew we were capable of the task ahead.

  • The Pastor As Counselor1
    Te Pastor as Counselor1 By David Powlison Tis article is written to pastors—but it is for anyone interested in counseling. If you are not a pastor, you will overhear ways of seeing, thinking and conversing that give fresh shape to your counseling, too. Listen in. Te dots do connect directly to you. I hope that you fnd this vision illumining and heartening. If you are a pastor, I hope that the message speaks relevantly, not only to your 1:1 conversa- tions, but with an impact that nourishes your preaching, teaching and leadership as well. All readers will fnd, along the way, that this article is actually an introduction to biblical counseling philosophy, methodology and process. During eras when church life has been vibrantly responsive to Scripture, pastors have counseled well and wisely. Tey have under- stood that their pastoral calling includes a signifcant ‘counseling’ component. Te faith proclaimed and practiced in congregational life also fnds a natural home in conversational life. Pastor, you are a counselor. 1. An earlier version of this article was published in Sam Storms and Justin Taylor, eds., For the Fame of God’s Name: Essays in Honor of John Piper (Wheaton: Crossway, 2010), 419–442. 5 6 THE PASTOR AS COUNSELOR | POWLISON Perhaps you don’t think of yourself that way. (And perhaps your people don’t think of you that way, either.) Perhaps you don’t want to be a counselor. But you are one. Perhaps preaching, leadership, and administration keep you preoccupied, and you do not do much hands-on pastoral work.

Next, an in-depth step was taken for each of the company’s links and nodes, as well as their effectiveness on each of their social media platforms. It was also crucial to look at the companies’ coordinates and goals, including both the business and communication goals. When evaluating Netflix and Hulu’s overall social media strategy, it was decided to focus directly on their three most actively managed platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
