EXCLUSIVE — Marine veteran and filmmaker David Helling is drawing upon his military training to bring cultural quality to his new biblical feature film His Only Son.
His Only Son depicts the biblical account of Abraham and his son Isaac and has made history as the first nationwide theatrical release to be crowdfunded.Helling served in the Marine Corps from 2005 through 2010 and was deployed in Iraq in 2009.
During his training, Helling said he spent time with native language speakers and learned about their culture, native foods, and customs. “It was priming the pump, so to speak,” Helling said. “I’ve always been fascinated with history, and I've always loved history.” “Daniel, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and Nebuchadnezzar,” Helling listed off biblical characters that have been historically placed where he was located. “Like, that was all happening right by where I was at, and so that definitely triggers an even deeper interest.”
