See Beyond the Screen: Film, Faith, and Creating Boldly w/ Christina Faith, Director
Manage episode 424706092 series 2801317
Every artist has to have a vision in order to create.
But those creatives who make films and movies have a special ability to see beyond the screen, to envision what the audience will eventually feel.
Director, producer and writer Christina Faith has a vision that is much broader than simply creating cinematic experiences. This bold creative has taken on dozens of projects in all areas of creative life without hesitation - all while maintaining a deep and powerful foundation of Christian belief.
As an author, podcaster, and educator, she’s constantly pushing the envelope and looking to make an impact on culture. Raised in New Jersey but now making her home base in Philadelphia, she has produced highly acclaimed and popular theater productions, short films, documentaries and web series like “Single and Anxious”, which is now available on Amazon and other networks.
Her latest work, her first full-length feature film “Love You Right”, features a top-notch cast and culturally relevant story that doesn’t shy away from tough issues.
In this transparent and enlightening talk, we trace Christina’s confident mindset to her ability to try new things without fear of public failure, hear her take on the lack of creative quality that muddles overtly religious films, and explore her unlikely journey from a college student with a creative bent to becoming a multi-faceted, highly prolific entertainment producer and entrepreneur.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- How Christina took on a variety of creative projects by learning on the job and not shying away from the unknowns
- How she learned the art of moviemaking and how to produce a film
- Why Christians have to be wary of allowing themselves to be labeled and pigeonholed as strictly “faith-based” creatives
- Why Christian actors and producers have to make clear internal moral choices before being faced with tough decisions
- Why it’s important to have the right people helping you
- The process of making a feature film and how key elements have to be considered
- How the culture is requiring creatives to be more innovative and less tied to traditional media
