Hollywood and Christian's?

There are so many people in Hollywood trying to make it, trying to get the next step up and become "The Star." So how can a Christian survive in an industry that seems to be driven by people outside of Chrsitian faith? How can a Christian survive in Hollywood?

The answer seems to be simpler than we all think. The answer is he/she must be a Christian in Hollywood. A true Christian in Hollywood. Following Christ. Here is an example.

A movie that I had the privilege to be apart of called "Heavenquest, A Pilgrim's Progess" was a movie that was trying to do exactly what all people in Hollywood do, make a great movie. There are tons of difficulties that stop a movie from even being finished, let alone being great. But what seemed to be the first obstacle course for this film was not what many expected, it was that everyone involved with the development of the movie, from script to finances, from wardrobe to foodtruck were all people of faith.

So back to my first question, can you be a Christian and survive in Hollywood? Can Chrsitians make creative movies? Well it seems that this movie I had a chance to work so hard on is trying to prove the critics wrong. With our micro budget all spent and a group of people with lots of faith growing to be family, the movie was final finished and is now out for the public to critique.

Well, how did we do it? We followed Christ, we prayed, we took risks, we grew, we lost some battles, we won some, we fell down and we got back up. We took each step in faith and sometimes against what the Hollywood industry standards said was right and successful. Our "right and success" was was based on following Christ.

I know it sounds too simple to believe, but it's TRUE. Pray, fellowship, read, grow...wake up and do it again. It was a repetitive cycle and it worked.

Take a look at the film, break it down, say it's good, say it bad...say something. But whatever is said, it will never take away from what we did...we followed Christ.
