Gold Frankincense Myrrh

The prophecies and symbols surrounding the birth of Jesus are revealed through a series of Bible verses that were written over a timeline of 1,500 years.

Gold Frankincense Myrrh was written by Advertising Creative James Bowman who says “Our film aims to connect modern audiences with ancient Christian spirituality. And to present a fresh take on a familiar story and celebration. It doesn’t draw any conclusions, instead leaving audiences to make their own minds up.”

It was directed by Dunedin-based Jason Williamson and has an original score by Jozef Faris.
