Lessons from a First-Time Director
At twelve:thirty media, our goal is to not only provide quality media content and training to help you create amazing experiences, but to make you aware of some incredible faith-based resources available to you and your church. We also get insights into other professionals in the church and faith-based media space to learn from each other how to use media to reach people with the Gospel.
I recently spoke with First-Time Director Paul Munger, who recently directed the new movie Princess Cut, a film about Grace, a Carolina farm girl looking for love. It’s a romance movie Paul wrote with his wife Sheilah. He also produced and directed the film. I asked Paul about his experiences directing his first feature and he gave some incredible insight into leading a large crew, working within a film budget, and raising funds to produce the film. We also talked about the rise in faith-based projects and where he feels the future of media is going.
Paul’s knowledge and insight can help us as Church Media Directors in producing and directing our short-form stories, testimonies, and other pieces for our churches. My prayer is that we can learn from guys like Paul how to tell stories and produce content that will inspire people.
If you haven’t seen Princess Cut, you can purchase the movie on DVD here.
