Some images from France.

I'm out in France shooting a mini documentary on an amazing family who have given up a lot to come out to Hossegor and set up a church for the surf/beach community. Their heart is to see lives turned around by a life changing God.

Where Briers Grew

Well... at last i am able to share with you all Where Briers Grew. Last year i was asked to produce a promotional video for my dad's church. I requested artistic license to produce something unique, something more engaging. 

My mission was to craft a short film which uncovers the core of the church, the heart that drives the leaders to give everything and hold nothing back. Please enjoy. Share and spread the word on the amazing work that Myrtle House is doing in Llanelli, South Wales.

Where briers grew is a short film about the leaders of Myrtle House, Llanelli Elim Pentecostal Church. Seeking to uncover what drives Bill and Ellen to pursue community transformation in the small South Wales town, we dig deep and discover how much it costs to be a dealer in hope.
