The Spiritual Lives of Characters

Today I'm speaking at the Christian Worldview Guild about "Exploring the Spiritual Lives of Your Characters" as a part of their Acting Track.

Here are references and links to some of the things I mentioned:


Audience members who are highly transported often experience attitude and belief changes in line with those expressed or demonstrated in the story.” 

Green, M.C., & Carpenter, J.M. (2011). Transporting into narrative worlds: New directions for the scientific study of literature. Scientific Study of Literature

Our actor who explored the spiritual life of Joseph/Grady was Greg Tull.


Now taking applications for the filmmaking program at the Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp and sign-ups for Engage Rio.
