This documentary recounts the life journey of Sameed Osman, a once-devout Muslim focused on converting America to Islam. The film walks through his fight to disprove Jesus, but through a series of dreams and dangerous encounters, he is forced to answer the question: Who is Jesus? Shot on Camera – Red Komodo // Lensing – DZO 50 & 100 2.0 + Canon 16-35 + Sigma 120-300 with 1.4 ex + Canon 100 Macro // Throughout the process of the film, we encountered a lot of challenges. A head on collision car crash blocked us from one of the 5 interviews. We had to work through find police officers and extras willing to help us out with re-enacting the climax of the film while protecting the name of the city police. That was quite the process. Concealing the location of the safe house was a little tricky, but after review of the film, no one had any concerns. 2-3 months filming and about 2 months of editing. By far one of the most impactful pieces our team has made. We showed the full doc at our “At the Movies” series. Many came to Christ through it and we continue to hear stories of how He is still working through it.
