I was so stunned that I didn't have an acceptance speech prepared! You can see what I came up with in the moment on www.24Flix.com by clicking here. It starts at 1hr, 17m, 18s. Bottom line, I received it as acknowledgement that choosing #ChristOverCareer is worth it!

I also thought I should give a prepared speech...

In 2014 Joyce and I stayed in Didsbury, Alberta, Canada to perform in Mayflower II. Five years later, I was back in Didsbury to perform in " The Ledger". These two films are now being screened at the International Christian Film & Music Festival! In case you've never heard of Didsbury, it's because only a bit more than 5,000 people live there. Also, they were two different production teams! The only other folks who worked on both projects were Dallas and Jylisa Lammiman (director and cinematographer on Mayflower II), who weighed in on the script for "The Ledger," which was written overnight as a part of a film competition for the Way of the Storyteller Conference, and Justin Lewis (a lead in Mayflower II), who played my character's nemesis in "The Ledger." 

 I'm sensing the Lord's fingerprints in this!

Mike Hill was nominated for Best Director for a Short Film, and I won Best Lead Actor in a Short Film at the International Christian Film Festival for playing Garreth in "A Matter of Perspective."


Be sure to watch the extras, which bring out how the Lord was so involved in this project!

It was filmed in beautiful Southern Oregon, where I was born and raised. I got to stay on our family farm while we were filming!

This was such an answer to prayer, since that was the area where I was inspired to act by seeing plays produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, taking part in workshops with their actors, and performing at our high school and with our church's youth group.

This was also the fifth film in which Joyce and I got to play husband and wife. Though you won't see her on screen, it's her voice at the end, talking to our characters' progeny, bringing us up to 20 screen children! 

My connection to the filmmakers of "A Matter of Perspective" is miraculous! We met at the Family Camp for the Southern Oregon chapter of Joni and Friends. To see how that came about click here. Then we found out that the director, Mike Hill, was a student of Larry Smith, who has been a good friend of my father since they were in the third grade! Larry gave me my only photography lesson just before I went to Hong Kong in 1987. Then he helped me set up the slides that I showed to the many families and organizations that made the trip possible.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Lord does through this short film!
