It is with profound sadness that we bid farewell to dear friends and production partners, The Nelons, through this tragic loss.

Jason, Kelly, Amber, and Nathan, you will certainly be missed. Autumn & Jamie + family, our prayers are for you, and we are here to support you in the challenging days ahead.

A STATEMENT FROM GAITHER MANAGEMENT GROUP:
One of the best loved Gospel music families in America, The Nelons were involved in a tragic, fatal plane crash on Friday afternoon on their way to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska. Killed in the crash were Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, Amber and Nathan Kistler and their assistant, Melodi Hodges, along with the pilot, Larry Haynie and his wife, Melissa. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident.

Autumn, Jason and Kelly’s youngest daughter, and her husband, Jamie Streetman were not on the plane and arrived safely into Seattle and were notified of the accident. They were brought to the hotel where artists were gathered with Bill and Gloria Gaither to pray, sing and embrace them in their grief, pledging to support them in whatever needs arise.

Autumn and Jamie will return home for now to Kelly’s brother, Todd Nelon and his wife, Rhonda, to begin the hard tasks that lie ahead. Please keep them, the Kistler family, the Haynie family and the family of Melodi Hodges in your prayers.

A STATEMENT FROM AUTUMN NELON STREETMAN
As many of you have heard by now, my father and mother, Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, along with my sister, Amber and brother-in-law, Nathan, as well as our dear friends Melodi Hodges, Larry and Melissa Haynie were involved in a tragic plane crash on Friday. Thank you for the prayers that have been extended already to me, my husband, Jamie, and our soon-to-be-born baby boy, as well as Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark. We appreciate your continued prayers, love and support as we navigate the coming days.

"The stories we love best do live in us forever." —J.K. Rowling

Isn't it amazing how two very different individuals can connect over a movie, show, or a book that they both read? Stories ring in our hearts and influence our future.

Armed with the SANDMARC 1.33x anamorphic lens + Motion Variable ND Filter and an iPhone 15 Pro, we traveled to the beautiful island of O'ahu, Hawaii to capture colorful sights with a classic cinematic wide perspective!

While it looks great in HD, it's even better in full 4K to see the character of the anamorphic lens on the image, along with the strong horizontal lens flare. Watch at https://loom.ly/DqhbKjE.

The Gold Wing: Our Small Part in Honda History https://loom.ly/4AJ7Y5Y

The phone call felt like an early scene from Mission Impossible—the hero gets assigned a covert operation with a ticking clock, challenging odds, and the need to go “dark” with no room for error.
