A Christ-centered Community for Directors in Hollywood
About the Group
Who We Are
A Christ-centered community for film directors in Hollywood. Being a director in competitive Hollywood is hard. We want to build a tribe where we don’t need to put on armor or prove ourselves —a place to just be who we are and support each other through the highs and lows of our calling in Christ.
No matter what kind of films we make, the core of who we are is in the Lord. We hope this group can be a place to deepen our understanding of God’s love and reflect it through the stories we tell in many different ways.
God is the greatest and ultimate artist, creative in all His works. We want to spark inspiration and a playful spirit through different art forms and simple activities, so that we can enjoy more of His creativity and find inspiration for our lives and work.
What We Do
We gather monthly for prayer and fellowship. Our goal is to foster genuine relationships, authenticity, and creativity; deepen faith in the love of Christ; and support one another through the highs and lows of our calling.
