“Battle Cry” by Jennifer Whitmore

I had the awesome opportunity to travel to Nashville and film a good friend and a talented songwriter, Jennifer Whitmore.

After having a pleasant dinner and a cup of delicious coffee with her family, we decided to have a living room recording session.

Her words speak truth and love from our Father above. Listen and be blessed.

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”

Here is a quick project I did to take a few years off of this man’s appearance. By removing blemishes and “healing” the outer appearance of a person, I got the tiniest taste of the weird and awkward things God puts us through in order to transform our minds and our hearts into His likeness. Just as this man submitted his photo to me to Photoshop years of pain and stress away, we as Christians should submit our lives to the Lord, the one who created us, and let Him do his crazy awesome work in our life changing who we are not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. Notice that we don’t have to do anything, just let God do His work…essentially give him permission to push, pull, heal, warp, pluck, trim, burn any part of us that isn’t a reflection of Him (which is the epitome of perfection).

“Trista” Trailer

chriskaspar — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:52:07 +0000

I’ve been working hard on pulling together a team of talented people to produce a short film for a local film festival. We filmed and edited the trailer in one day and were selected as one of the finalist in the director’s division based on our trailer. I won’t leak the film to you online, but I would at least like to show you the trailer to whet your appetite.

“Trista” will be premiering at the Realife Campus at James River Assembly on November 16, 2011 at 7 pm.
See you there!

Kindness Foundation Promo

This is a brief, yet intense promotional video I filmed in Russia. The trip was fun and the team I worked with was great, but even more exciting was the use of the Bible as the foundational curriculum in Russian schools today. Watch and be amazed at what God is doing in Russia.

I’m amazed at the technical simplicity and stunning message of a simple black and white portrait. Here are a few I did with some guys from Focus On The Family.

Moving to Missouri

chriskaspar — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:30:47 +0000

I recently got accepted into the Master’s of Studio Art and Theory program at Drury University in Springfield, Missouri. I’m packing my bags both literally and spiritually as I prepare for a new stage in my life.

More than anything, I’m excited because for the first time in my life I get to create art because that is what I am actually supposed to be doing, rather than what I do when I should be doing something else (like studying). I’m also excited to be closer to a good friend who goes to school nearby and see how our friendship grows.

As soon as I move to Missouri, I plan to (in order of urgency and importance)

1) Find a long term place to live

2) Get connected with a church nearby

3) Find a men’s Bible study (hopefully with older men)

4) Find a mentor

5) Be a mentor

6) Get a dog (any suggestions for medium size dogs?)

7) Take piano lessons again

8) Paint!

9) Read a ton!
