Ministry has always been a huge part of my life. Since 7th grade, when I volunteered to be one of the Wise Men in my church's Christmas play. Volunteering in that play opened up a whole new world. Ministry became a safe space to explore all of my creative gifts. In the following years, I spent time on the dance team, choir, drama team, I was the ministry photographer, graphic artist, and videographer... not know that God was using all of that to cultivate me for a career in filmmaking.

Why do we want to make this film?
We want to show the positive of church/ministry. How it can change people's lives. I hear too often the negative things "church folks" do. I want to change that narrative and show the truly amazing things that "Church Folks" can accomplish when they work as a team.
We're gonna keep it real too. We're going to show some of the issues that hurt the church but also highlight the solutions. This film will focus on the best things about the church about broadcast it for the world to see.
The movie is shot documentary style. Similar to the hit TV show, The Office. Shooting it in this style brings a level of realism to the movie. It's based on actual events so we want to feel real.

The Impact that this movie will have
There are millions of people out there that aren't interested in our church or our Jesus, this movie is built to bridge that gap. We're using humor to talk about Christ and a few of his amazing followers. And for the people that love God and attend church, this movie is a healthy alternative to the negative images Hollywood focuses on.
