Behind the Scenes!
June 21st, 2007
So you just can’t get enough of us and you are looking for more? Well, we are here to oblige. If you are like us (and you’d sure be popular if you were) you also rent movies more for the commentary and behind-the-scenes than the movie itself! Let’s face it…we’ve already watched the movie and are looking for something more. Welcome to the “something more”…
This is the first in a series of behind-the-scenes shorts which will chronicle the saga we are right in the middle of, as we get ready to roll cameras on June 30th. That will be the day we start shooting what we call THE EASTER EXPERIENCE. This summer we will be shooting for 8 weeks capturing footage for two separate projects, both of which deal with the life, death and the most compelling part of Christ’s story, His return from the grave!
The first project is a six-part series in which Kyle Idleman (H2O host) takes the viewer on a vivid exploration of Christ’s passion and resurrection. Kyle invites each of us to take an intimate and relevant look at the claims of Jesus–undeniably the most controversial and yet significant person who has ever walked this planet. The second project is capturing all the dramatic footage to be used in Southeast Christian‘s 2008 Easter Pageant. This total make-over of the Easter Pagaent will incorporate 4 large screens (near IMAX size) and provide a unique vehicle for interaction between on-stage actors and dramatic footage shot on-location. This hybrid stage/cinema performance is expected to draw over 80,000 people and will truely be unlike anything ever seen before.
Combining these two projects into one makes this the largest endeavor yet for City on a Hill Productions. You will see what it takes to write 2 compelling scripts, audition the best actors, move logistical mountains, and build Jerusalem in central Kentucky. Listen as members of the crew share their thoughts and concerns. Hear from the Director (Shane Sooter) as he describes his passion for filmaking and pursuit of quality. But most of all, we hope you will see God at work…making something out of nothing, offering strength when we need sustaining, bringing peace to times of pressure, and carrying us through to the end!
Thanks for walking into our world…enjoy the view!
Kevin Bryan
Media Director, City on a Hill

Hold on – God is generating extreme energy in and around Louisville, KY, and City on a Hill Productions is a part of that Happening. Expect GREAT things for God – Psalm 121…..

After our first week of shooting, I’ve just got to say that all the volunteers here in Louisville are incredible! And as I said on the set yesterday, you guys are the best “Ducking Fluffers” I have ever worked with! God bless you guys tons!

I was one of the extras on the Lazarus shoot Saturday, 7*7*7, and the heat was quite impressive. I’m home today with a mild case of heat exhaustion, but I wouldn’t trade that day for anything.
I hope I can continue to juggle my schedule to be a part of another shooting day.
I feel like we need a lot of prayer warriors out there to keep Satan from trying to foil our efforts with his little plots to get people sick, and cause technical difficulities. Keep up the great work Shane and company, I loved working with you guys! Thank you to every one involved in costumes, make up, providing food, and bringing water to us sweaty little townspeople ! God is SO good in the rock quarry in Louisville Ky. !!!

I’ve been following the project via the newsletter and just wanted to let you know that Kevin and all the crew are being prayed over. I will forward your requests to our churchs’ prayer list and expect great things to happen during the course of the production…the Lord loves to see His kids step out in faith!

I’ve been following your project ever since Cheri’s Mom forwarded me the first newsletter and just wanted to say I look forward to the next installment!! The Lord will bless this endeavor because He blesses His children and their work for Him. I hope to be in Louisville in September and maybe visit with some of you! I’m praying each day for all of you.
