About two months and that's when matt mcpherson, the

To cbn to you he shared that i really felt like in the

Really felt like in the nineties that the lord put on
00:23:03.949 --> 00:23:06.785
Nineties that the lord put on my heart that i'm supposed to
00:23:06.918 --> 00:23:07.519
My heart that i'm supposed to make a movie about the life of
00:23:07.652 --> 00:23:08.253
Make a movie about the life of jesus.
00:23:08.386 --> 00:23:09.888
Jesus. but he says but i always wait
00:23:10.021 --> 00:23:10.856
But he says but i always wait on the lord lord supposed to do
00:23:10.989 --> 00:23:14.025
On the lord lord supposed to do this?
00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:14.326
This? you tell me the time and you
00:23:14.459 --> 00:23:15.060
You tell me the time and you tell me how and that time when
00:23:15.193 --> 00:23:17.562
Tell me how and that time when i had been there he felt like
00:23:17.696 --> 00:23:18.330
I had been there he felt like this is a time and maybe i
00:23:18.463 --> 00:23:20.599
This is a time and maybe i should be an animated feature
00:23:20.732 --> 00:23:21.333
Should be an animated feature film.
00:23:21.466 --> 00:23:21.633
Film. and so that's the origin there
00:23:21.767 --> 00:23:24.636
And so that's the origin there .
00:23:24.770 --> 00:23:24.870
. >> okay.
00:23:25.003 --> 00:23:25.270
>> okay. and you made an artistic
00:23:25.403 --> 00:23:26.104
And you made an artistic decision i think matt was
00:23:26.238 --> 00:23:29.074
Decision i think matt was behind it as well that instead
00:23:29.207 --> 00:23:29.841
Behind it as well that instead of doing the 3d animation that
00:23:29.975 --> 00:23:32.978
Of doing the 3d animation that is so prevalent today you went
00:23:33.111 --> 00:23:33.712
Is so prevalent today you went old school with with this and
00:23:33.845 --> 00:23:36.915
Old school with with this and did it 2d and you did it
00:23:37.048 --> 00:23:37.883
Did it 2d and you did it hand-drawn.
00:23:38.016 --> 00:23:40.318
Hand-drawn. yes.
00:23:40.452 --> 00:23:40.585
Yes. so for hand-drawn animation for
00:23:40.719 --> 00:23:41.319
So for hand-drawn animation for us we just felt that that there
00:23:41.453 --> 00:23:44.456
Us we just felt that that there was just something very
00:23:44.589 --> 00:23:45.090
Was just something very charming about it, something
00:23:45.223 --> 00:23:45.757
Charming about it, something very timeless about it.
00:23:45.891 --> 00:23:47.659
Very timeless about it. and also when you look at an
00:23:47.793 --> 00:23:48.527
And also when you look at an artist who works on hand-drawn
00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:49.261
Artist who works on hand-drawn animation, they're doing all
00:23:49.394 --> 00:23:51.830
Animation, they're doing all the little details and there's
00:23:51.963 --> 00:23:52.564
The little details and there's little nuances, little kind of
00:23:52.697 --> 00:23:53.331
Little nuances, little kind of mistakes and those things.
00:23:53.465 --> 00:23:55.467
Mistakes and those things. and so in on top of that our
00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:56.468
And so in on top of that our backgrounds they're all painted
00:23:56.601 --> 00:23:58.603
Backgrounds they're all painted .
00:23:58.737 --> 00:23:58.837
. if you look at the backgrounds
00:23:58.970 --> 00:23:59.738
If you look at the backgrounds of the scenes you can see the
00:23:59.871 --> 00:24:00.605
Of the scenes you can see the brushstrokes you can see all
00:24:00.739 --> 00:24:03.175
Brushstrokes you can see all the little nuances of of
00:24:03.308 --> 00:24:03.842
The little nuances of of patchwork and it's like a work
00:24:03.975 --> 00:24:04.609
Patchwork and it's like a work in progress and we thought from
00:24:04.743 --> 00:24:07.045
In progress and we thought from an artistic point of view we
00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:07.779
An artistic point of view we are broken.
00:24:07.913 --> 00:24:08.180
Are broken. are flawless and then we are
00:24:10.182 --> 00:24:10.982
Are flawless and then we are still a work in progress so we
00:24:11.116 --> 00:24:11.783
Still a work in progress so we wanted that be of the medium.
00:24:11.917 --> 00:24:14.119
Wanted that be of the medium. but the bigger thing is we all
00:24:14.252 --> 00:24:14.986
But the bigger thing is we all thought to the animation
00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:18.957
Thought to the animation awesome it look cool.
00:24:19.090 --> 00:24:19.558
Awesome it look cool. >> it's very cool.
00:24:19.691 --> 00:24:20.091
>> it's very cool. yeah look cool.

Yeah look cool. do you think anybody
00:24:20.692 --> 00:24:22.227
Do you think anybody understands that?
00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:22.727
Understands that? who's going to watch it?
00:24:22.861 --> 00:24:23.361
Who's going to watch it? you have to be kind of deep in
00:24:23.495 --> 00:24:24.362
You have to be kind of deep in the animation.
00:24:24.496 --> 00:24:26.398
The animation. >> know it.
00:24:26.531 --> 00:24:26.932
>> know it. here's what we found out after
00:24:27.065 --> 00:24:27.666
Here's what we found out after we started showing the trailer
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:28.366
We started showing the trailer and the artwork we weren't
00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:30.902
And the artwork we weren't expecting their groundswell of
00:24:31.036 --> 00:24:31.636
Expecting their groundswell of the nostalgia coming out, you
00:24:31.770 --> 00:24:34.806
The nostalgia coming out, you know?
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:35.106
Know? you know people comparing us a
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.874
You know people comparing us a prince of egypt or some of the
00:24:36.007 --> 00:24:36.641
Prince of egypt or some of the nineties disney film.
00:24:36.775 --> 00:24:38.877
Nineties disney film. and so for us we leaned in that
00:24:39.010 --> 00:24:39.878
And so for us we leaned in that nostalgia and that's now we
00:24:40.011 --> 00:24:42.614
Nostalgia and that's now we pushed our posters and
00:24:42.747 --> 00:24:43.181
Pushed our posters and everything.
00:24:43.315 --> 00:24:43.582
Everything. so we're thinking if disney
00:24:43.715 --> 00:24:44.282
So we're thinking if disney made a movie the life of jesus
00:24:44.416 --> 00:24:46.618
Made a movie the life of jesus in the nineties this is that
00:24:46.751 --> 00:24:47.385
In the nineties this is that movie without numbers.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.422
Movie without numbers. >> all right.
00:24:50.555 --> 00:24:50.889
>> all right. well, talk about about the
00:24:51.022 --> 00:24:54.326
Well, talk about about the story because you you chose a
00:24:54.459 --> 00:24:55.026
Story because you you chose a unique way to tell the story
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.863
Unique way to tell the story through the eyes of the apostle
00:24:57.996 --> 00:25:01.032
Through the eyes of the apostle john.
00:25:01.166 --> 00:25:01.433
John. >> yeah.
00:25:01.566 --> 00:25:01.766
>> yeah. so we we really discuss about
00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:02.701
So we we really discuss about how you know to tell the story
00:25:02.834 --> 00:25:06.104
How you know to tell the story about the life of jesus.
00:25:06.238 --> 00:25:06.771
About the life of jesus. we didn't want to come through
00:25:06.905 --> 00:25:07.539
We didn't want to come through jesus's land his story so we
00:25:07.672 --> 00:25:09.007
Jesus's land his story so we thought having the closest
00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:09.674
Thought having the closest person near him which we we
00:25:09.808 --> 00:25:12.510
Person near him which we we chose was john would give that
00:25:12.644 --> 00:25:13.345
Chose was john would give that credibility factor for people
00:25:13.478 --> 00:25:15.947
Credibility factor for people who don't know that
00:25:16.081 --> 00:25:16.514
Who don't know that relationship but john was at
00:25:16.648 --> 00:25:19.718
Relationship but john was at first account on all of jesus's
00:25:19.851 --> 00:25:23.288
First account on all of jesus's ministry stuff.
00:25:23.421 --> 00:25:23.755
Ministry stuff. he was there at the cross and
00:25:23.889 --> 00:25:24.489
He was there at the cross and so we thought hey this helps us
00:25:24.623 --> 00:25:27.025
So we thought hey this helps us narrow down the story.
00:25:27.158 --> 00:25:27.626
Narrow down the story. what are those key moments we
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:28.326
What are those key moments we had to do?
00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.727
Had to do? like to do that his through his
00:25:30.629 --> 00:25:31.563
Like to do that his through his lens and so that was the
00:25:31.696 --> 00:25:32.197
Lens and so that was the direction that we went with and
00:25:32.330 --> 00:25:34.666
Direction that we went with and it just it feels like that
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.367
It just it feels like that coming of age film as well this
00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.167
Coming of age film as well this is a boy who's 13 who's coming
00:25:36.301 --> 00:25:38.169
Is a boy who's 13 who's coming into adulthood in the jewish
00:25:38.303 --> 00:25:38.870
Into adulthood in the jewish culture and trying to help his
00:25:39.004 --> 00:25:41.740
Culture and trying to help his family kind of come out of the
00:25:41.873 --> 00:25:42.707
Family kind of come out of the dilemma he's put them in.
00:25:42.841 --> 00:25:45.677
Dilemma he's put them in. and so there is that kind of
00:25:45.810 --> 00:25:46.544
And so there is that kind of coming from that i think
00:25:46.678 --> 00:25:49.014
Coming from that i think timeless and relatable to any
00:25:49.147 --> 00:25:49.714
Timeless and relatable to any culture.
00:25:49.848 --> 00:25:50.048
Culture. >> and you also show that is
00:25:50.181 --> 00:25:52.817
>> and you also show that is not in the bible but a good
00:25:52.951 --> 00:25:53.685
Not in the bible but a good back story of john's
00:25:53.818 --> 00:25:57.489
Back story of john's relationship with his own
00:25:57.622 --> 00:25:58.123
Relationship with his own father.
00:25:58.256 --> 00:25:58.456
Father. why why why was that included?
00:25:58.590 --> 00:26:01.359
Why why why was that included? >> so we thought it was really
00:26:01.493 --> 00:26:02.360
>> so we thought it was really important especially in today's
00:26:02.494 --> 00:26:05.030
Important especially in today's world to show about family and
00:26:05.163 --> 00:26:05.797
World to show about family and we really wanted to center on
00:26:05.931 --> 00:26:08.733
We really wanted to center on the family.
00:26:08.867 --> 00:26:09.134
The family. so you got the father who is
00:26:09.267 --> 00:26:09.834
So you got the father who is just off the hard guy who's
00:26:09.968 --> 00:26:12.671
Just off the hard guy who's like hey, you know, you got no
00:26:12.804 --> 00:26:13.438
Like hey, you know, you got no one's going to help us.
00:26:13.571 --> 00:26:14.072
One's going to help us. we got to do it ourselves and
00:26:14.205 --> 00:26:16.975
We got to do it ourselves and that stuff and you got the
00:26:17.108 --> 00:26:17.609
That stuff and you got the mother who is believing in the
00:26:17.742 --> 00:26:18.343
Mother who is believing in the messiah.
00:26:18.476 --> 00:26:20.679
Messiah. and i think a lot of people
00:26:20.812 --> 00:26:21.579
And i think a lot of people have that relationship within
00:26:21.713 --> 00:26:22.314
Have that relationship within their own family might be a
00:26:22.447 --> 00:26:24.549
Their own family might be a person of faith or leaning
00:26:24.683 --> 00:26:25.216
Person of faith or leaning towards that.
00:26:25.350 --> 00:26:25.650
Towards that. the other is like we just got
00:26:25.784 --> 00:26:28.019
The other is like we just got to be practical.
00:26:28.153 --> 00:26:28.620
To be practical. and so for me i mean i can
00:26:28.753 --> 00:26:29.688
And so for me i mean i can relate my father.
00:26:29.821 --> 00:26:31.923
Relate my father. he loved us.
00:26:32.057 --> 00:26:32.357
He loved us. my mom and my brother and i he
00:26:32.490 --> 00:26:33.525
My mom and my brother and i he provided for us and everything
00:26:33.658 --> 00:26:36.394
Provided for us and everything but he was a practical guy.
00:26:36.528 --> 00:26:37.095
But he was a practical guy. he's just john, you're not
00:26:37.228 --> 00:26:39.631
He's just john, you're not going to you know no one's
00:26:39.764 --> 00:26:40.332
Going to you know no one's going to help us.
00:26:40.465 --> 00:26:40.865
Going to help us. you got to hard and get through
00:26:40.999 --> 00:26:43.168
You got to hard and get through life that way.
00:26:43.301 --> 00:26:43.635
Life that way. and if there is a god hasn't
00:26:43.768 --> 00:26:46.771
And if there is a god hasn't done anything for me and that's
00:26:46.905 --> 00:26:47.539
Done anything for me and that's kind of my dad's how he he oh
00:26:47.672 --> 00:26:51.076
Kind of my dad's how he he oh yeah.
00:26:51.209 --> 00:26:51.376
Yeah. >> and so that view ever change
00:26:51.509 --> 00:26:54.713
>> and so that view ever change it.
00:26:54.846 --> 00:26:54.980
It. >> it and it's kind of we put
00:26:55.113 --> 00:26:59.017
>> it and it's kind of we put that in the end of the movie
00:26:59.150 --> 00:26:59.951
That in the end of the movie you you know where john will
00:27:00.085 --> 00:27:02.220
You you know where john will actually lead his father to
00:27:02.354 --> 00:27:02.954
Actually lead his father to follow jesus and in my life
00:27:03.088 --> 00:27:08.026
Follow jesus and in my life when back in 1973 we watched a
00:27:08.159 --> 00:27:08.994
When back in 1973 we watched a charlie brown's christmas
00:27:09.127 --> 00:27:09.627
Charlie brown's christmas special and it was the first
00:27:09.761 --> 00:27:12.664
Special and it was the first time i'd ever heard the word
00:27:12.797 --> 00:27:13.431
Time i'd ever heard the word god or or savior and i asked my
00:27:13.565 --> 00:27:16.401
God or or savior and i asked my mom and dad what is that what
00:27:16.534 --> 00:27:20.271
Mom and dad what is that what what?
00:27:20.405 --> 00:27:20.572
What? and they didn't have that
00:27:20.705 --> 00:27:21.272
And they didn't have that answer.
00:27:21.406 --> 00:27:21.606
Answer. and you know and that was a
00:27:23.008 --> 00:27:24.042
And you know and that was a seed planted in my heart.
00:27:24.175 --> 00:27:24.709
Seed planted in my heart. and then 20 years later i did i
00:27:25.610 --> 00:27:26.644
And then 20 years later i did i found out who god and my savior
00:27:26.778 --> 00:27:30.348
Found out who god and my savior is i accepted christ in my life
00:27:30.482 --> 00:27:31.182
Is i accepted christ in my life and years later i was able to
00:27:31.316 --> 00:27:34.152
And years later i was able to lead my father to the lord.
00:27:34.285 --> 00:27:37.322
Lead my father to the lord. so it's kind of come full
00:27:37.455 --> 00:27:38.089
So it's kind of come full circle that way and that's i
00:27:38.223 --> 00:27:40.859
Circle that way and that's i always believed in the power of
00:27:40.992 --> 00:27:41.626
Always believed in the power of animation and the gospel and
00:27:41.760 --> 00:27:42.327
Animation and the gospel and there's a picture of your
00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:44.829
There's a picture of your father with your son.
00:27:44.963 --> 00:27:45.430
Father with your son. we can get the picture back up
00:27:45.563 --> 00:27:48.199
We can get the picture back up there.
00:27:48.333 --> 00:27:48.600
There. that's your son josiah, who's a
00:27:48.733 --> 00:27:49.567
That's your son josiah, who's a miracle in and of himself and

Miracle in and of himself and what a great shot.
00:27:52.971 --> 00:27:53.338
What a great shot. what a great generational.
00:27:53.471 --> 00:27:56.541
What a great generational. and my dad a week after that
00:27:56.674 --> 00:27:57.308

00:27:57.442 --> 00:28:00.445
Photo he had passed and his funeral was on september 5th

Funeral was on september 5th which also is my birthday.
00:28:03.448 --> 00:28:06.985
Which also is my birthday. >> and and that was a hard time
00:28:07.118 --> 00:28:07.852

To thank you know here and also the opening day and that's

Where it's a kind of that god wink moment of how a cartoon
00:28:12.524 --> 00:28:15.293
Wink moment of how a cartoon you know in the end when i
00:28:15.427 --> 00:28:16.027
You know in the end when i brought my father the lord when
00:28:16.161 --> 00:28:18.496
Brought my father the lord when my mom and dad didn't know who
00:28:18.630 --> 00:28:19.264
My mom and dad didn't know who the god and savior was i
00:28:19.397 --> 00:28:22.300
The god and savior was i finally could tell him and he
00:28:22.434 --> 00:28:23.034
Finally could tell him and he accepted.
00:28:23.168 --> 00:28:23.401
Accepted. and that's why i just love
