Join noted local photographer Ken Duncan for a very special audio-visual presentation on Easter Sunday at West Gosford, featuring stills from the set of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
Duncan has been friends with Gibson since they were teenagers, but was still surprised when the famous actor invited him to take some still photography on the set of his now epic movie.
“I told Mel I didn’t know anything about shooting on a movie set,” Duncan said.
“But he said ‘That’s exactly why I want you to come; fresh eyes and a fresh approach’.”
Always up for a challenge, Duncan agreed to go, leaving it to his wife to handle the launch of one of his books.
The movie was filmed in Matera and Rome, Italy, and the sets were extremely authentic.
Duncan said he was thrilled by Gibson’s use of lighting – “like a Caravaggio painting” – which gave him opportunities to capture some truly moving images.
On his first night on set, Duncan had a dream about producing a book of images from the movie.
He proceeded to interview the actors and the production crew; the stories were eventually woven through his collection of images, with the book selling 750,000 copies worldwide and becoming a best seller.
Gibson took on a cameo role, playing the part of Jesus in Duncan’s image Forgiveness.
Duncan has many stories from his time on The Passion movie set and will share many of them at the April 20 event as he shows the photos he took during production.
Some of his stories are funny, some inspiring and some deeply moving.
Attendees will be transported back to the life and times of Jesus with glimpses into his childhood and will feel his mother’s pain as she watches him drag the heavy cross through the streets of Jerusalem.
They will understand why Jesus had to endure such a painful and humiliating death.
Join Ken Duncan at Living Waters Hope Central Church, 4/8 Stockyard Pl, West Gosford, at 10am on Easter Sunday, April 20, to see his spectacular audio-visual presentation from The Passion of the Christ movie.
The presentation is free and all are welcome, with the grand finale featuring a moving video set to beautiful music.
