In the not-too-distant future, the United States has banned the Bible for its “offensiveness” and replaced it with a government-approved version. A small group of Christians are recruited to smuggle God’s true Word to underground churches. With a ruthless federal agent in hot pursuit, the believers must choose between following the law or honoring and trusting God.
Soundscape for New Faith Film, Disciples in the Moonlight, Created at ORU
Oral Roberts University (ORU) played a key role in the new film Disciples in the Moonlight, which is in movie theaters nationwide from July 17th-24th. The soundscape for Disciples in the Moonlight was mixed and designed on the ORU campus by Nathan Ashton, ORU’s Senior Producer/Director of University Media Productions. The narrative of this film challenges viewers with the question, “What if the Bible was illegal?” prompting reflection on the present and future of religious freedom.
“The movie is genius and demanded quality,” said Ashton. “The sound rooms we used to create the film’s soundscape are the same facilities used by ORU’s Media Mastery Institute students. The facilities sound great. The resulting mix was so good that Director Brett Varvel decided not to send it to L.A. but opted to complete the theatrical mix at ORU.”
