Feature Documentary Film trailer- @Churchfilm - Western Diocese Armenian...




A George Ohan DOCUMENTARY FILM

DIRECTED by Xavier Ybarra

*Creative Producer - Susie Keyvanian
-----------------------------------------------------------

The Armenian Documentary is about raising the issue of preserving culture. The question, are the latter generations losing culture as newer generations are born? Are Armenian parents teaching their children the culture in order to continue the traditions of the culture? Do the newer generations feel that the Armenian traditions are too old? What is the issue this documentary surrounds? By learning of the events that took place in Armenia in 301 A.D. we can ask the question of how deep the church is embedded into the Armenian Culture. Does it belong at the root of the Armenian culture? Or is it only for those who actually came from Armenia and are descendants of the families that were present at that time?

This documentary will take you through the journey of discovery of the Armenian culture. Determined to uncover the truth, Producer George Ohan, has visited all Armenian churches belonging to the Western Diocese searching for an answer. Is the Armenian Church apart of the Armenian culture? Or is it a byword destined to be abandoned to the past by the newer generations? This documentary dares to raise the question... What does Armenian culture really stand for? How big of a part does the Armenian culture play in your household?

Religion, Spirituality, and is there a Need for it?

Hello,

My name is George Ohan and I am currently producing a "Feature Documentary" about the Armenian church here in Southern California. (www.facebook.com/ArmenianChurchFilm) I would like to send an email to people in the Armenian community and give them this information.  It would be great to read feedback about their position on some of the topics we are bringing up.  This film is designed to bring up important topics like:

1. Determine why the faith, membership, and attendance practices of Armenians change so dramatically from 1st to 3rd generation for the Armenian Church?

2. Measure the success or failure of the ministry of the Armenian church in America.

3. Provide a groundwork of eveidence for any future study on the need for adjusting the method of ministry of the Armenian church.

4. Does the Armenian church belong at the root of the Armenian culture?

We have already filmed at seven different locations from the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church in Southern California.  At this point we would like to get feedback from the community and add depth to the story behind this interesting project.  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Emails can be sent to ArmenianChurchFilm@yahoo.com

Very Respectfully,

George Ohan
