Website Description

Transformed by the Messiah was born from Rabbi Jason Sobel’s book of the same name. I was asked to conceptualize and build a television series that would translate the depth of his theological insight into a visually compelling, accessible broadcast format.

Rather than approach the material as a traditional studio teaching series, I developed a cinematic concept centered around a modern-day coffee shop that transforms into ancient biblical environments—locations where Jesus walked, taught, and fulfilled prophecy. The café setting served as a relatable anchor point, while seamless visual transitions transported viewers into first-century Israel, allowing Scripture to unfold within immersive, story-driven environments.

From initial concept development through final delivery, I oversaw the entire production:

• Series creative direction and format design

• Environment development and build strategy

• Guest booking and on-set production leadership

• Editorial oversight and final post-production

The result is a visually ambitious, theology-rich series that merges biblical scholarship with cutting-edge virtual production.
