What a delight to see this film! Though not a big budget film, the production values punch above its weight when it comes to cinematography, story & sound, and superb acting. As I watched the film, I felt myself immersed by this ancient world, into the world of the Magi and their quest to find the new Jewish King.
The film stars notable Garry Nation as "Melchior," Randy Spence as "Balthazar," Bello Pizzimenti as "Gaspar," Taymour Ghazi as "the Devil," Yancy Butler as "Salome," and Shane Hagedorn as "Gabriel"--all very well acted and convincing.
The familiar story begins and focuses on the three Magi--the ancient priests (the Zorasters who believed in one god) from the eastern lands--what would likely be modern-day Iran or western Indian regions. Their discovery of the star begins their quest to find the Messiah--and to deal with their own inner turmoils and life-choices along the way. The film is a thinking film, and deserves much more recognition than it's received.
I highly recommend this film! It deserves to be seen as it is well done!
This is the first part of the Quest Trilogy. The other films in the series include "Forty Nights" and the forthcoming film, "The Christ-Slayer."
"Chasing the Stars" is now available to watch on Amazon Prime!
