Last year, former RCTC student Aaron Potter directed a short film \u201cA Heart Under Shadow.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, that movie placed third in the Narrative Short category in the Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Heart Under Shadow\u2019s acceptance into the Winnipeg Film Festival was very encouraging to the entire film team,\u201d Potter said. \u201cHaving our work accepted alongside some well-known and successful films always holds nice encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Potter is founder of Solid Ground Studios, a local film production company dedicated to Christian films. Several former and current RCTC students were in the cast and crew, including Caleb Davis, Josiah Jones, Daniel Reichmann, Elaina Hagstrom and Abigail Furutani.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Heart Under Shadow\u201d tells the story of Cassi, a young woman who is mistrustful of men because of abuse by her father.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also looking forward to the film being shown to a new audience,\u201d Potter said. \u201cWe have received some powerful testimonies as viewers realize the freedom from fear that Christ offers, and we hope that more people will understand and accept this hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA Heart Under Shadow\u201d is one of 15 films featured in the festival\u2019s Narrative Short category. Other films were from Canada, Spain, Ireland and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
