Very important!<br />Most of the characters looked and sounded like they were from the Middle East and not just members of the church from Utah dressed up in robe. Well done.<br />These are really good quality films and bring with them a powerful spirit. Thank you so much.

I would have no direct knowledge of anything involving the interaction of the Brethren with the Director or the screenwriters--sorry! You might want to write the people out at LDS Films in Provo, Utah (formerly the BYU Film Studios). I regret that I have no contact information handy.Mark Koltko-Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173090767545559729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082393758640568534.post-60014352662898739452013-05-20T01:26:06.305-04:002013-05-20T01:26:06.305-04:00Hendie Boy: Thank you very much for your interest ...Hendie Boy: Thank you very much for your interest in these films. <br /><br />The only person directing the films is the Director, a Latter-day Saint with a great deal of professional experience, and a great spirit. I saw no General Authorities present at any time during my segment, and I seriously doubt that any of them visit the set on any kind of assignment basis. My sense of the situation, from some side remarks I heard during the process, is that all scripts have to pass through approval. Since the dialogue is completely scriptural, I can't imagine this is a problem. I also suspect that the director passes versions of the scenes past some form of GA approval, but I have no direct proof of that.<br /><br />Keep watching this series! It is really great.Mark Koltko-Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173090767545559729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082393758640568534.post-55159114531267541572013-05-19T12:15:14.118-04:002013-05-19T12:15:14.118-04:00Thank you for your posts and sharing these special...Thank you for your posts and sharing these special experiences with us. The spirit is present in the viewing and sharing these videos. There is so much to learn from watching the positioning of the apostles at certain scenes, the music, the way Christ says things. There is so much. I am extremely interested to kmow of the presence of general authorities or their interactions with the directors and screen writers. I would be very very interested in knowing. Thank you so much.Brother Michael Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326876301608657224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082393758640568534.post-63824875351344098852013-05-19T12:11:44.733-04:002013-05-19T12:11:44.733-04:00My dad and I have been analyzing these films to a ...My dad and I have been analyzing these films to a great extent. Specifically we've been watching the video of Jesus Christ and His apostles when the Savior rebukes Peter and calls Him Satan. Every time we watch it we see new meaning from the music, the faces, even the positioning of the order of Apostles. We are very interested to know who is present at these sets helping direct? Are there ever general authorities present? Do they preview the scripts and screenplay? We are extremely interested in knowing.

In specific Jesus, and the apostles Peter and John. I think it's a shame that they are not mentioned anywhere. This is not a movie, so I understand why maybe that has not been brought out. Could you help me with that maybe? I am just interested in who they are.
