Episode 405: Starting Over














Featuring "Peter Bayer" with director Sean Slobodan and "Clean Break" with director Chas Kelly. Also featuring faculty host Jeff Parkin.

Documentary filmmakers Chas Kelly and Sean Slobodan discuss their rewarding experiences making films about people at a crossroads and explore how we can find hope even during the toughest trials.



Although he was left behind at home and forgotten by his family on his birthday at a young age, Chas followed in the footsteps of his brothers and father before him (just as two of his sisters did after,) by earning his bachelor's degree in film studies. He emphasized in documentary film production and editing. He graduated from BYU in August 2009 as he finished his student film, Clean Break. Since then he has been freelance editing and assisting in production work for the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, where he lives with his beautiful wife, Samantha, along with whom he just bought his first scooter. He's got no complaints.


Sean Slobodan's main areas of interest are cinematography and documentary filmmaking. During his time at BYU he was involved in several projects including documentaries shot in Samoa and Argentina. He's now found work as the main photographer/cinematographer for Nature's Sunshine Products in Provo, Utah. He's currently shooting an energy drink advertisement in San Francisco and is also involved in the pre-production phases of a short horror film scheduled to shoot mid-June of this year. Sean is married to the beautiful Megan Slobodan and they are the proud parents of a chubby little 6 month old daughter named Evelyn Rose.
