Wisdom for Christian artists from Brian Godawa

In this short interview conducted as part of the Kings College Distinguished Visitor Series, there is a real treat for artists of every stripe. Wise advice and insight into what it takes to be a serious Christian artist. Give this short 6 minute clip a watch and see for yourself.

Brian Gadawa is an author, Hollywood screenwriter and director. He wrote the screenplay for To End All Wars and is the author of two books Hollywood Worldviews and Word Pictures. He also directed the short horror film Cruel Logic.




I am currently reading his book, "Word Pictures," so look for a forthcoming review  of that.

Great! I saw Cruel Logic and thought it was pretty wicked (in a good way).

Brandon said...

Yeah, that short movie shows the moral deficiency of a materialists worldview... and in a very frightening way...

I really like his take on doing great things for the Lord. Is my desire to do great things an issue of pride? Can I be content if I pursue this endeavor and it turns out to have little influence? I pray that I can be content.

Hi Gary, I got that exact same lesson in the video. Really hits home.
