Episode 190 - Testimony Series: Learning to Abide in Him - with Evan Atwood This episode is a part of our December testimony Series. Evan Atwood, a director, writer, and editor from Rockford, Illinois, shares his journey as a filmmaker and the struggles he faced with self-worth and performance anxiety. He recounts witnessing divine interventions during his first feature length film shoot and recalls how God taught him the importance of abiding in Him. This spiritual practice helped Evan overcome negative emotions and refocus on his faith, grounded in the belief that abiding in God leads to fruitful outcomes.BIOFrom a young age, Evan helped his parents to tell stories through theater productions. Inspired to write and direct cinematic stories, Evan wrote 9 feature-length screenplays over the years -- both adaptations and original stories -- and directed the feature film "Remembering." Evan is a multi-award winner, who has also created more than 20 original short films.evanatwood.comFAFF Association Online Meetups: https://faffassociation.com/#faff-meetingsVIP Producers Mentorship Program https://www.faffassociation.com/vip-producers-mentorship Jaclyn's Book - In the Beginning, Middle and End: A Screenwriter’s Observations of LIfe, Character, and God: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9R7XS9VThe Faith & Family Filmmakers podcast helps filmmakers who share a Christian worldview stay in touch, informed, and inspired.
