During its course, I was able to execute all of my artistic and technical skills within a project of substance. It is big screen cinematic and exciting, but also incorporates Christian themes. As more of a dialogue than a sermon, it applies the messages of the Ten Commandments to a contemporary drama of interlocking vignettes. It follows the decisions of one wealthy family squabbling over inheritance in the face of death, to a detective investigating, a washed up rock star partner and the rising Defense Attorney. Together, they develop through a disappearance which brings everyone’s moral standing into question. There is grit and pain; but in place of judgment there is guidance. It is engaging, looks great and stands upright on the backbone of faith.

Writer/Director John Ward, Actor/Producer (and former professional baseball player) Todd Zeile, my partner at Scizors, Aaron Breeden, and I formed the crux of a strong team. We accomplished something momentous for this budgetary level. As the film’s producer, director of photography, motion graphics artist and editor I am pleased that I AM and its message were so skillfully executed.
