ValorArte: Value Art, Value Yourself
Crayons, paint, markers, LEGOs, banners, theatre, games, masquerade party, water balloon volleyball, swimming, screaming, singing, dancing and being free to be yourself: all beautiful memories from last year’s Art Camp and hopes for this year’s camp, ValorArte. ValorArte, the name of this year’s Art Camp is a play on words in Spanish. “Valor” means “To […]
Hiking Pacaya Part 1
Hiking Pacaya Part 1 from Athentikos on Vimeo. The 2nd to last day of primary film production for Becoming Fools, we had an afternoon off so spontaneously the crew decided to hike an active volcano just outside of Antiqua called Pacaya. At the time we thought it was a little crazy but we had […]
Behind the Scenes: Production Clothing
A couple of weeks ago I posted on my blog about the clothing I chose to use while in Guatemala filming “Becoming Fools.” So I thought I’d share this article here to give you a little more of a behind the scenes look (more so than others!) of what goes into filming a documentary. Here’s […]
The Big Sleep 2012
During Becoming Fools production in Guatemala, I think everyone on the Athentikos team thought at one time or another what it would be like to live in the streets.

The Heart Behind the Production
Going Back Have you ever been to a place (vacation destination, location for missions, etc) that you haven’t been too in a while where upon arrival it’s all familiar but either the purpose or situation dictates a totally different experience?

A Moment of Applause Fills the Soul
Nothing fills the soul like applause. As the receiver and the giver. So many emotions flood that one moment: the sense of accomplishment, the sorrow of the end, the struggle of the hard work and the desire for more. It is reflection of countless hours of rehearsal and sacrifice; and of the belief that you […]

He expressed his passion for Athentikos and Reparando, after having seen Reparando while on a mission trip in Guatemala last year. YWAM Antigua‘s mission is to know and love God and make Him known in Antigua, […]
