Production Story:
This Documentary took us 4 and a half months to complete. Pre-production involved meeting all of our interview subjects, creating trusting relationships, and researching more about local ministries and cultures. We began attending events such as Ratio Christi’s Bible reading night and Elizabeth Sink’s “Food For Thought” Program to formulate the questions we wanted to ask and how we were going to tell our story.
From there, we met with our subjects for interviews and attended more of their events and outreach initiatives. We would go back and forth capturing our b-roll. I was in charge of creating questions and communicating with our subjects as well as a co-editor.
After four separate drafts, we finally finalized our Documentary in December 2023 and shared it at a private screening on Colorado State University’s campus.
