New Orchard...

...is a rather literal translation of my surname (Jongewaard), which is Dutch. The family immigrated to the United States in 1847. No one, upon meeting me for the first time, has ever been able to pronounce my name correctly - if they've attempted it at all, while most simply call me "Mr....I-don't-know-how-to-say-it" - except for a statistically insignificant group of people who got lucky. It is pronounced JUNGAWARD, at least by us American Jongewaards. Apparently, in the Netherlands it is a fairly common family name. I have also heard it translated as "strong youth," but I like New Orchard - especially as a filmmaker bent on doing Hollywood one better. Neworchard.com will be coming soon...
