Students Produce Christians in Media Documentary Series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In the PLNU student-produced documentary series, Christians in Media, a student host interviews influential Christian producers, writers, executives and other television and film makers about what Hollywood life is like while striving to live a God-fearing life.

The first episode featured Ralph Winter, producer who has worked on films including the X-Men and Fantastic Four series and other Hollywood projects. Winter sat down and gave pointers and insights into life inside the film industry. He also challenged students to keep God as the main focus in every aspect of life.

The second episode of Christians in Media profiled another Hollywood leader, Dean Batali. Batali’s credits include writing for the hit television shows, That 70’s Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Batali talked about the struggles with being a Hollywood writer and a Christian, and offered great advice to students seeking a career in the television industry.

Episode three of Christians in Media featured Jason Carter, a PLNU alumnus (’04) who works at DreamWorks studios in Los Angeles. Jason has worked on the third edition of Pirates of the Caribbean, and Bee Movie. Jason told about his journey to DreamWorks, and about how his student film, Isle Nevis, helped him get the job at DW. He also provided tips on how to get your “foot in the door” Hollywood. He encourages future film makers to follow their dreams and put Christ first in whatever they do.

Christians in Media is one-half to full hour documentary series that airs on the student cable channel: PLNU Channel 3: Your Channel, every week.
