“Audiences are going to see a much more cinematic film than they’ve seen from the Kendrick Brothers before,” says Stephen Kendrick. “We have four different sets right next to one another that our art department has built from scratch. It’s incredible to be able to see the progress in the filmmaking. The
learning curve has been steep for us. It’s not only fun for the crew, but the quality of the finished product is going up.”
“With these guys, what you see is what you get, and they are so genuine it’s scary,” says Cameron Arnett, who plays the role of Thomas Hill in the film. “They have a clarity that comes from trusting God, from believing God, and it’s penetrating…it calls you, because deep calls unto deep.”
“One of my favorite parts about being on set with the Kendrick Brothers is that every single day starts with devotions,” says Priscilla Shirer. “Not only that, but throughout filming, throughout the days, they will often times stop and gather cast and crew to pray over a particular scene, just to ask God to have His favor and blessing upon it in a unique way. This is one of the things that sets their filming sets apart from others: everything is dedicated to God.”
