We Reverse Engineer
from Impact
Altaer exists to create life changing stories to help broken people on the path to healing. To be healed in our relationship with God. And to heal in our relationship with each other.
Two Brothers
When we were little, we were best friends. Then went our own ways and both turning our back on God. But eventually each brought back to Christ, and then brought back together again through the death of our father. And now here we are, each given our own calling, our own roles, and converging on the same path and same vision.

After nearly 15 years of telling stories for brands, God called me to tell stories for Him. For people to see him more. To experience him more. For him to get the glory above all else. And relationship with him to overflow into everything else, especially our broken relationships. I'm drawn to help those who wrestle with God. To those who've believed the lie that He's abandoned them, that He doesn't love them. I would never wish it on anyone. And while I know all life has to offer without Him, which is essentially nothing that lasts, I know what it's like to be with Him. I am no teacher nor prophet nor great holy man, I am just another pilgrim on the path with Christ.

VFX Supervisor, Creative Director, Producer
After over 20 years of experience working on blockbuster Hollywood movies and various Netflix series, God has called me to help tell his story, just like my brother. I'm certainly a prodigal son of sorts, having wasted too much of my life pursuing my will be done than God's, and now my hope is to spend the rest of my life pursuing His kingdom come. I was a bit of a lost cause myself, so I have a big heart for those who believe they have run too far from God. For those who believe their mistakes can't be forgiven, or that it's too late, just like the thief on the cross. And so my hope is to help others however I can, especially those like me, to experience the Truth, to experience Christ.

No Mere Mortals
Format: Feature Film, Episodic Series, Photobook
C.S. Lewis' "you have never met a mere mortal" echoes the reality that we are all made in the image of God, and in turn, means that none of us have ever met a mere mortal. These stories are the journey to overcoming the chasm between us and others who we may fear, disdain, even hate, so we may see others how God sees so we might love as God loves.
Personal
Format: Feature Film, Episodic Series, Photobook
In all of human history, one of the greatest promises ever made is that we can have a personal and intimate relationship with the Infinite Creator of the Universe. These stories are of those on the difficult path of healing in their relationship with God: finding their way back to him, maybe for the first time, maybe once again, or maybe more than ever dreamed of before.

The Beautiful Bride
Format: Feature Film, Episodic Series, Photobook
Two thousand years ago Christ prayed that the body of Christ would be one, that we would be unified. These stories show how the Spirit has manifested uniquely and yet in the same manner in believers all across the world, to help us see and experience that we truly are one family under God the Father.
The Fallen
Format: Feature Film, Episodic Series, Photobook
Countless people have been deeply harmed, even destroyed, both emotionally and spiritually by the betraying actions of fallen Christian leaders. These stories are the means of showing how God has and can heal his people, and how He offers forgiveness, redemption, and healing to all who are willing to turn towards Him, even the underserving, the fallen.

Hidden Lives
Format: Feature Film, Episodic Series, Photobook
Every day the Light of Christ shines in countless believer's lives that no one will ever know about, no one will ever see as never deemed worthy enough to be a headline. Sometimes this light is even suppressed. Without seeing the Light, many begin to question is God really with us, is He really here? Does He still care? These stories show the Light of Christ surrounds us, often going unnoticed, especially in "common" and unassuming believers all around the world.

Making Visions Happen
The Altaer Fund: all projects made possible through sacrifice and generosity.
The Altaer Fund: all projects made possible through Generosity
The Altaer Fund is made possible by Torchbearers and Firestarters, people who leverage their support and resources to help bring each creative vision to life.
Torchbearers help keep the creative flame burning day to day and season to season through prayer, encouragement, and financial funding. They help fuel and sustain the critical creative oxygen during the creative process that's absolutely vital to generate and develop initial ideas into bigger stories. Ultimately, they help enable these ideas, these sparks, to be able to grow into a flame impacting more people.
> Phase I Project Milestones: Initial Creative Development, Writing, World Building, Initial Pre-Production
Firestarters help achieve production-specific milestones through financial fuel that enables the stories, the flames, to become fires to burn hotter, brighter, and spread farther to ignite hearts for spiritual healing and transformation. Together, they help us be what we simply could not be or do on our own.
> Phase II and III Project Milestones: Pre-Production, Production, Post Production and Distribution

The Ethos of Altaer
Altaer is the fusion of two passions: striving to bring all that we are as living sacrifices as worship to God (the altar) to be used for lasting spiritual change (to alter).
Because there is a time and place for art to be intentionally ambiguous, let us be absolutely clear: we affirm the God given Truths of Scripture expressed in the Nicene and Apostles Creeds.
We desire for all we create to be anchored in and an overflow of the Truth God reveals within the Holy Scriptures. Our hope is to be used by Jesus Christ to help others move closer to Him, to be healed by Him, and in turn, to be able to move closer to each other. And we know that to help people see what they cannot see, to truly know what they cannot know, or to feel what they cannot feel ... this is ultimately only possible by the power of the Holy Spirit.
What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. In all we create, this keeps us knowing our place and desperately tethered to Him.
To God alone be the Glory.
