"BLOODLINE" (2012) - Written/Directed by: Jayson Johnson
Starring: Joshua Walker Smith, Jamie Higgins, Jenna Smith
Director's Statement: "Bloodline" was born out of a time when I was broke and broken, attending Calvary Chapel York Bible College in England. My friend Tony Diaz recommended Bible College, which felt like the last place I wanted to be, but with no other options, I went. At the college, we often discussed the gifts Jesus gives us and the importance of developing and using them. This resonated with me deeply, and I decided to put it into practice by using my stipend money to make this film.
With the help of the student body and just fifty UK pounds, we brought "Bloodline" to life. My goal was to tell a story unlike the other Christian films I had seen, which often felt tailored only for believers. I wanted this film to reach sinners who were far from Jesus, offering them something relatable and compelling. "Bloodline" was my way of using the gift I was given to create something that could bridge the gap between faith and those who felt disconnected from it.
