Artist Statement

I got some friends together and brainstormed ideas related to the scripture given. Then we filmed the shots all in one day, then after that it took a few days to edit it all together, with original music made by my friend.

How it fits into contest

I chose this part of the scripture:

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."

And from that i got the idea to have a teenager get tempted by his friends to do something he shouldn't do, and choosing not to do it because of the strength that he got from God against the forces of evil.
