"The Genesis Flood" (2004) Status: Complete Running Time: 9:55
|
The Genesis Flood was originally inspired when I was in college courses at SPC over the summer. We were watching a video about the History Channels theories about the flood described in the Bible. On the way home I heard "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors. These 2 events spurred my imagination to make this movie. The Doors song ended up being put in the movie and tends to get a good laugh. I don't mind- I think its funny too- and is why it stayed in. Stars Ryan Crowther.
