Join Aaron Blaise as he sits down with the incredible creative team behind the brand-new 2D animated feature film, Light of the World — a film that feels like it stepped right out of the 1990s animation era.
Aaron is joined by:
John Schafer – Director
Tom Bancroft – Director
Pam Darely – Producer
Tony Bancroft – Head of Story
Together they discuss how the film came to life, the inspiration behind creating a 2D animated story about the life of Jesus, and the artistry that went into bringing it to the big screen.
Aaron also shares why Light of the World is worth seeing no matter your beliefs — because at its heart, it’s simply a great story, beautifully told.
✨ Don’t miss your chance to experience this film in theaters starting today!
