Check out a recent BYU-Idaho Forum presentation, featuring Aaron Merrell, who is a senior producer for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint’s Publishing Services Department. In the forum, Aaron gives a behind-the-scenes look into producing the Book of Mormon Videos series. He also shares insights about working in the film industry.
Aaron has worked for DreamWorks, Walt Disney Company, and other entertainment companies prior to working for the Church.
The Book of Mormon Videos are a collection of videos based on accounts from The Book of Mormon. You can watch them on YouTube or on the Church’s website to learn more about these faith-building films! They are also available in other languages.
You may have seen the Broadway musical called “The Book of Mormon.” Now, through movie magic, you can find out what the Book of Mormon is really about!
