  • Gideon Media Arts Conference and Film Festival

  • Aug 5, 2011 to Aug 11, 2011
  • Location: Lifeway Conference Center
  • Description:

    To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through all types of media with an emphasis on radio, theater, church drama, music graphic novels, television and film.

    The Gideon was started to give Christians who are interested in the media arts a place to encourage their talents, a venue to meet, learn, network and get advice from experts in the industry, and the opportunity to develop working and personal relationships that extend long after the Gideon is over.

    Our faculty are prayerfully considered and wonderfully selected by God. They are comprised of Christian producers, directors, writers, graphic novelists, musicians, actors, DJ's, performers, speakers and teachers and are chosen for the Gideon, not only for their accomplishments and expertise, but for their servant's heart. We are blessed and humbled that these incredibly talented individuals are designing classes and workshops to stretch your mind and help you discover the path that God has placed in front of you.

  • Gideon Media Arts Conference

  • Aug 5, 2011 to Aug 11, 2011
  • Location: Ridgecrest Conference Center, Asheville, NC
  • Description: It's not too late to register for the Gideon Media Arts Conference, especially if you live in the Eastern US. While it covers many aspects of media (workshops will include film, novels, and digital media) Ken Raney, Roland Mann, and I will be sharing workshops about creating comics. So not only can you learn from a very experienced editor and writer and a highly skilled artist and perhaps maybe even get something from me . . . but you will get the chance to network with many Christian creatives like yourself! In the years I have gone, I have made new and lasting friendships, mete collaborators, and I actually picked up my primary freelance job provider for the last two years! And, for me, staying in the incredible resort-like center in the mountains, away from my family, has made it something of a writer's retreat. I recommend checking it out. You don't have to go for the entire time -- reduced rates are available, I believe, if you want to come for just a couple days.
