About 70 years ago, Edward R. Muro defined television as being much higher than only wires and illumination in a box: “This tool can teach that it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire,” he said in a famous address for the Radio-Telivian news directors of the association in 1958.
The conversation held at Bell Air Church this week reflected the feeling of vision of Mororo, which hosted a dinner and screening event for an episode of the Amazon Prime Video Series “.David’s house“The Bible-Theme series revolve around the story of David and Goliat and the fall of King Saul from Indi Studio The Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studio.
“House of David” bowed on prime video on 17 February. Aaj Tak show has achieved more than 22 million audience audiences, which validate the prime video push to add more shows that directly touch the issues of faith and spirituality. The goal is to help expand the boundaries of programs related to faith beyond traditional stereotypes that such shows are g-rated trees. “House of David” introduced a lot of action and a sword-and-dashing drama with a large cast of supportive characters.
“It was a tremendous reminder that it is actually something that is important to many people,” said Brook Zugg, Executive Director of Non -Gailer. Faith and Media Initiative It advocates a more fine depiction of people of Vishwas in TV and film.
The screening was introduced by Martin Ford – who was a huge actor who played the role of Goliyat. John Irwin, the founder of the Wonder Project, who is the producer, writer and director of the “House of David”, gathered a crowd of a few hundred people gathering in the church’s sanctuary on 24 March. Irwin, who could not be present because he was on shooting, explained his overrouncing goal with “House of David” and development in Wonder Project.
“House of David”, which runs eight episodes, lies deeply in Bible stories. But this is the first and foremost to entertain a common audience, and hopefully encourage some audiences to dive deep into Bible texts.
“The whole point is to create an entertaining TV series – but it’s not sacred scripture,” Irwin told the crowd through the video. “What we do is like a huge billboard pointing to the Bible.” The fact is that such a show can reach a broad global audience through platforms such as prime videos. “This is actually a deep moment in our industry,” said Irwin.
After screening of episodes 1, Bell Air Church leader, Reve Dr. Drew Sams glorified Irwin & Co., “I think it was the best sermon that was ever promoted in this sanctuary,” Sams said about the episode. “And I promote more in this sanctuary than someone else.”
Pastor Chad Weich and Rabbi Steve Ladder of Los Angeles’s Wilshire Boleward Temple praised Sam handling of Bible content. Lines are used for great effects from Holy Scripture but not for the distraction of the story. For Veach, this is a refreshing experience. He said, “Because so much holy scripture has been made cheaper in telling the story and becomes a caricature of the real power of the word of God,” he said.
Tracie Blackwell re -confirmed the prime video and the head of the targeted material for Amazon MGM Studios that “House of David” was embraced by a large and global audience. At the time of great disintegration and division, stories around the subjects of morality, morality, equality, human rights and freedom are more important than ever, they argued.
“I think culture needs it,” Blackwell told the crowd. “We need it, especially during this time, I think people are looking for the stories of hope. I think they are looking for stories about God in this way that they do not publicize, but have been understood and seen. And it is a really big effort from our side to see them, so I think it is unlikely to tell us that we should tell these words.
Blackwell and other panelists agreed that there is a greater understanding of modern spirituality and belief practices in the US to help a rapid secular culture. Blackwell was inaccessible about being on a “mission” to help the audience understand the teachings of Christianity in the context of today’s dirty biased politics.
“I personally feel for the last few years, our belief practice has been slightly coemed by politics. Who is God, who is Jesus and what he stands, is really twisted, and is a messaging that he is a deity of love,” Blackwell said. “Why do I think it is important to do these stories, it is that they reset those people who are really God and what he is. And he is the god of love, and he is a god who loves everyone.”
To meet that large goal, however, “House of David” has to be associated with the audience as entertainment. This cannot be seen as homework.
“At the end of the day, we need to do them well. This is a business here. We have to give results,” Blackwell said. “I am on one whole other aircraft. I definitely need to give results, but I am here to change life, and I am here to save them.”
