Homeschooling and Christ-Centered Filmmaking - Aaron Burns

“Growing up with history and literature, and reading and storytelling, is a huge part of what shaped my passion to tell stories to reach a generation today with the medium of film.” - Aaron Burns

Yvette Hampton and film producer, Aaron Burns, discuss the joy of filmmaking and the importance of using our gifts to glorify God. Aaron talks about how he and his cousin, Chad Burns, got into filmmaking, how being homeschooled prepared him for life, and offers practical advice for aspiring filmmakers. If you have a child who wants to be part of the Christian film industry, this is a great episode to enjoy with them.
