Geoff Botkin addresses issues of multi-generational faithfulness, biblical patriarchy as they apply to the life and work of the Christian filmmaker. Geoff brought several stunning talks which emphasized a covenantal vision for family and filmmaking, and a presuppositional analysis of the goals, techniques and vision to be employed by “epistemologically self-conscious” filmmakers. His talks on the deliberate infiltration and take-over by the film industry by Marxists and other subversives beginning in the 1920’s offered fresh insights for a generation of filmmakers who have never been exposed to the philosophical origins of 21st century Hollywood.
