\u201cI really want people to be able to see the power of music and of art, and the way it works in so many different people\u2019s lives,\u201d says Kendall Rock \u201915 of her film \u201cGod\u2019s in the Garage.\u201d \u00a0She\u2019s sharing her work with the world, on the big screen at the 2016 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival<\/a> in Montana Feb. 19-28.<\/p>\n

The documentary short explores the interactions and conflicts between faith and music. Featuring Seattle artists Allen Stone, Zach Fleury, Noah Gundersen, and Galen Disston (Pickwick), the film also follows Colorado musician Brian Wight as he chooses between his artistry and the prospects of a comfortable lifestyle guaranteed by a church job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was raised in the church in Seattle, but had a lot of issues with it as I got older and went to college. I started paying attention to the type of music I was listening to and realized that a lot of the artists I liked had a similar Christian background,\u201d Rock says of her inspiration for the film. \u201cStruggles with faith was a theme in their music, and I wanted to know more about how they processed that struggle through their art. For a lot of these musicians, music was their religion or their higher power, and I was really interested in learning about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod\u2019s in the Garage\u201d was Rock\u2019s thesis film as a film and new media studies major at CC. After debuting the film on campus last May, Rock was contacted by Doug Hawes-Davis, who was on campus as a visiting professor. He invited her to show the film at the Big Sky Festival in Missoula, Montana. Since then, she\u2019s had to keep the film under wraps until the screening at Big Sky in February.<\/p>\n

While Rock says it\u2019s scary to share such a personal and sensitive project with the masses, she\u2019s thrilled to be included in such a major festival. \u201cI\u2019ll get to go to see films and attend the filmmaker parties. I\u2019ll be mingling with real filmmakers; I\u2019m excited. Then I can finally put it online, and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rock has several other projects already in the works, including a film she shot over the summer while working with a conservation group in Alaska. That will be released soon on Rock\u2019s blog<\/a>. And, she has plenty of ideas to pursue. \u201cI want to do more with music, the best part of this film was working with other creative people and talking with them about the way they process their lives through their art.\u00a0 At the same time I was making my art, going through my own process, so I want to do more of that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
