MormonTimes.com: For LDS filmmakers, ordinary becomes extraordinary
Instead, they're looking for lilies.
Make no mistake, the two filmmakers are interested in telling extraordinary stories. But according to Unguren, those can be found by simply following the Savior's admonition in Chapter 6 of Matthew to "consider the lilies of the field."
For Duncan and Unguren, the product of such consideration is "Fit for the Kingdom," a project co-produced by the two Brigham Young University faculty members that features short documentary films on the lives of everyday members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"There is a tendency in some (LDS) media to make things look extra nice, to polish it up," said Unguren, who is originally from Seattle. "Think about the lilies. In a sense . . . we're considering the lilies of the church."
