The Porcelain Unicorn

The power of film as a medium for story telling is one of my greatest interests. I've always been drawn to stories, but never so much as when I became a Christ follower. It's then I discovered the greatest story of all time and the main character of the story was an avid story teller Himself.

Matthew 13:34 declares that Jesus never addressed a crowd without using a parable (a story) to illustrate what He was teaching. I have attempted to practice the same through my years of ministry. One of my great passions is turning those stories into mini-movies. I love using them to illustrate God's truth. I find they're so effective. The following short film demonstrates my point.

Legendary film director Sir Ridley Scott launched a global film contest for aspiring directors titled "Tell It Your Way." The film could be only three minutes, contain only six lines of narrative and be a compelling story. There were six hundred entries. The winner was "The Porcelain Unicorn" by American director Keegan Wilcox. The story is of the lifetimes of two people who are totally oppisite yet very much the same - All told in less than three minutes.  I think you'll see why it won! Enjoy.
