‘3 DAY TEST’—A FAMILY COMEDY FROM CORBIN BERNSEN—DEBUTS NOV. 6
Fun Film Entertains, Encourages and Exhorts
DALLAS – Oct. 12, 2012 – From actor and filmmaker Corbin Bernsen comes a comedy for the whole family—3 DAY TEST, where a frustrated father attempts to reconnect with his wife and kids . . . by disconnecting them from the world. Distributed by EchoLight Studios, DVD sales of 3 DAY TEST launch Nov. 6.
“Humor offers a wonderful tool to communicate truth and entertain audiences as you do it,” said Bernsen, an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor now also writing, producing and directing films. “3 DAY TEST features talented comedic actors in a zany plot, but at its heart it tells a story of how one family reconnects.”
Think of HOME ALONE meets Survivor. Martin Taylor has totally lost touch with his family. He has no clue who his teenage daughter’s friends are, why his son only communicates with an electronic sign outside his bedroom door, or why his youngest child only watches faith TV. Convinced the family needs to reconnect, Martin surprises the wife and kids with a little experiment—he locks them in their own home with no power, no heat, no running water and absolutely no contact with the world outside! The sudden holiday staycation isn’t what the Taylors had in mind for the weekend, but they’ll have to team up to prove they can survive Dad’s wacky mission. With a heartfelt message and some persistence, one little member of the family helps put their priorities back in the pews, because they’ll need all the faith they have to get through this!
3 DAY TEST stars George Newbern, known to audiences for film roles including FATHER OF THE BRIDE and from TV’s mega-hit, Friends. Also featured are Bernsen (Psyche, L.A. Law) Megyn Price (Rules of Engagement), up-and-coming young actress Taylor Spreitler (Melissa & Joey, Days of Our Lives) and Francesca Capaldi, featured in the new Disney Channel series Dog With a Blog.
Bernsen has carved an interesting niche in filmmaking, often uniting communities around a project as he did in the Akron, Ohio, area with 25 HILL, which centered on the All-American Soap Derby based in that city. And the experience was so positive, he returned to Akron to film 3 DAY TEST.
"Corbin Bernsen brings communities together in support of original films that deliver entertainment and meaning to audiences,” said EchoLight Chief Global Strategist Christopher Morrow said. “We’re proud to be associated with this talented, innovative filmmaker.”
Home Theater Films produced 3 DAY TEST from Bernsen’s original script, with distribution by EchoLight Studios. DVDs can be pre-ordered now with deliveries and immediate sales starting Nov. 6. 3 DAY TEST is available through leading online and retail providers.

Ernie Haase News
From: A Personal Note from Ernie Haase October 11, 2012:
Forgetting The Past
Ok, well it has finally happened. I have already enlarged my font on my laptop and cell phone, but this last week I crossed the final threshold…. I had to ask a total stranger to read my boarding pass and tell me what seat I am sitting in. I just could not read it no matter how far I pulled it away from my face. So, I am
getting reading glasses this week. Don’t want to, but I’ve got to be able to read.
As most of you already know, I have had problems with my knees and I am just now getting back to shooting a few low impact games with some guys here who play during their lunch hour. Good guys, nice guys, but not the kind of level I am use to playing. And the fact is, I am the worst out there. I’m just slow and out of true basketball shape. They don’t know that. They don’t know me, but I KNOW ME. Or should I say, I remember the old me. The first few times back on the court it took all I had not to scream.
So, I got to thinking of this verse of scripture:
Philippians 3:14 (NIV) I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
I have never given any other thought to this verse other than forgetting those things in my past that were bad. But these days, it is starting to apply to the good, too.
I can see why so many middle-aged guys want to re-live the glory days and find all opportunities and excuses to do so. It really is all about feeling young again. But to cast aside a whole life of memories and relationships just to relieve a macho state at any level is just not wise. We just need to wise up and forget those things that are in the past and press on.
I can see how a woman who is not looked at the same by her man after a few kids would find it emotionally stimulating when they notice that they are being noticed. The ego is so hard to keep in check; it really is.
So, I say let’s take this verse of scripture today and turn it to our favor and forget those things that are in the past and keep pressing toward the prize of the high calling of God. What is the prize? You’ll have deeper and more real relationships with man and our Lord, roots that go beyond looks, love that will be there to change your soiled bedding when all your young beauty is gone. You’ll have deeper, more meaningful love from the Father shared between two people and a handful of close friends.
That sounds like a prize I’d like to win and I intend to keep pressing on. How about you?
