The Christ Slayer

I also enjoy telling the story of what it's like behind the scenes of a film production. On set, we have a cinematographer documenting the goings on with the cast and crew. I will then take the footage and watch it all (yes...ALL of it), and cut it together to create one cohesive video depicting the life and times behind the camera. 

​

Below is my behind the scenes take on The Christ Slayer, a faith based feature that was filmed in Yuma, AZ. I was a production coordinator as well as played a role on screen as Crispus, a roman soldier and best friend to the main character. 

​

The challenge I encountered with this project was the lack of confessional interviews. Without the voices of the cast and crew telling of their experience, I was not sure what the story line of this would be. I did have the unique experience of being on the ground with this project and watching all the footage brought back so many memories from our short 3 weeks of production. 

​

What I created was an epic video montage that used the beats and cadence of my chosen soundtrack to tell the tale of independent filmmaking in the desert. 

​

This video was well received by all of production. I am very proud of my work both on and off screen with this project.
