ABOUT THE FILM:
The Towns We Lived In is a 28 minute short film revolving around the question: “Why do young people leave the church?”. It is Robbie's 10th short film, and certainly his most honest script to date.
Growing up as a Seventh-Day Adventist Christian, I was tired of seeing films which dealt with spirituality in such a superficial way. I wanted this film to be a raw and honest view on christianity and religion. It is certainly different to any other christian film which has ever been made.
It has been a long journey, but I have finally gotten to a point where I feel quite confident in my beliefs in Christ. And I think I am open minded enough to talk with anyone about their views.
Because at the end of the day, why does anyone believe anything? Everyone convinces themselves that their beliefs are right and that everyone else's are wrong. Plus, there are so many denominations and views etc. How do we know who's right and who's wrong?
The reality is, these are the real questions that Christian films should be dealing with.
OTHER DETAILS:
Shot in the blue mountains of Australia. Filmed on a Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6k EF and B roll with a Canon 5D Mark ii.
