The Imposter (2008 film)


The Imposter is a 2008 Christian film that was shot in January and February 2008 in and around Burleson, Texas. The movie stars Kevin Max, Kerry Livgren, and Jeff Deyo, and is produced by Jeff Rodgers and Daniel Millican, who also wrote and directed it.

Plot

The Imposter deals with the lifestyle and subsequent breakdown of Christian rock singer Johnny C, a talented singer addicted to oxycodone. After his wife and child leave him, he's fired from his band by its leader James. Trying to make it on his own, Johnny gets swindled by a sleazy record producer and beaten up by his drug suppliers. Finally out of options, he travels home to see if his family will take him back.

Cast

The film is a contemporary take on the Prodigal Son story from the New Testament. It is Millican's fourth feature film. He wrote the script during the summer of 2007 and began to cast in the fall of the same year. Producer Troy Baker was a friend of Kevin Max, formerly of dcTalk, and recommended him to Millican. In addition, Millican, Baker, and producer Jeff Rodgers approached Kerry Livgren and Jeff Deyo to round out the principals.
Veteran Hollywood actor Tom Wright has been in every one of Millican's films. Millican relied heavily on Director of Photography Ron Gonzalez for the look, locations and production value.

Release

The movie is released by Pure Flix Entertainment. The DVD's street date is February 23, 2010.
