Nathan and Meghan Leon share their journey as Christian filmmakers who have found creative ways to balance their family life with independent film production while maintaining creative control and authenticity in their storytelling.

• Started from creative backgrounds with Nathan in an Act One mentorship program and Meghan with a master's in creative writing
• Prioritize family by including their children on set and creating a familial environment for cast and crew
• Believe God blesses work when family comes first, even if it means fewer working hours
• Focus on creating authentic Christian stories that address real-life struggles rather than sanitized versions of faith
• Made "Grace by Night" for under $500,000 while competing with $5-10 million productions at festivals
• Hire small groups of talented people rather than overstaffing to maximize budget efficiency
• Find creative solutions for expensive-looking shots without breaking the bank
• Build relationships with potential investors through smaller projects and networking
• Remain independent to maintain creative control over their storytelling
• Create positive set environments where cast and crew feel respected and valued
