Charting New Courses – New Documentary Showcases Women in Sailing, Brings Hollywood to Seabrook, TX
[ad_1]
More than a single race story, Charting New Courses weaves together the experiences of today’s local competitors with those of legendary trailblazers, including Olympian Francesca Clapcich and world-renowned sailor Tracy Edwards, exploring how women have persevered in a traditionally male-dominated sport.
“This is not just a sailing story—it’s about resilience, teamwork, and representation,” says director Faye Brenner. “We want audiences to feel the power of women pushing boundaries both on the water and in life.”
With a production budget of approximately $100,000 and fiscal sponsorship through the Alliance of Women Directors (501c3), the project is designed to be festival-ready and positioned for streaming, broadcast, and educational markets. The film will also be accompanied by a public engagement campaign aimed at inspiring more women and girls to take up sailing and outdoor adventure sports.
Charting New Courses’s director, Faye Brenner, has a storied Hollywood career spanning over forty years, with credits on Stand By Me and Ghost, and directing credit on ABC’s The Rookie. Brenner has personal ties to the subject matter; after learning to sail in her twenties she’s enjoyed many sailing adventures of her own and inspired her daughter to sail. Brenner’s own daughter, Natasha Peake is a member of Bad Girl, which is skippered by Nicole Laster. The film is currently seeking distribution partners as production filming ramps up with coverage at the Harvest Moon Regatta in Seabrook, TX, from October 9-11.

Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.
Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.
"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.
The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.
Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
