Alan Powell Interview

RL (Raschelle Loudenslager) Alan, how did you get your start in a film career?

Alan Powell: “I still don’t know why they let me do it, to be honest with you. Don’t tell anybody I said that, it’s my secret. (He says with a wink and a lighthearted laugh.)  I have always had a passion for film. Film is what moves me.

I started my career in music of course but I‘ve always loved acting. Three summers ago, I got an email and it was this character description about this project. I don’t know if this has ever happened to you or not, but I just knew I was going to be a part of this project. So, I went to this audition and God just took over from there.

I went back to California for the call back and met the director and the producer and the music director. Not long after the director called me and told me I was the guy for the part, he just knew it was me. I got together with my wife and we discussed how we could protect our marriage especially when I was going to play the role of a guy who is unfaithful to his wife. It’s all real life situations and we talked a lot about how we could honor God in our marriage while walking through the situations with this roll. So, it was a really cool process to see how God worked in and through all of it. Now to see the final product is a very rewarding thing.”

MO : “Did you grow up in a Christian Home?”

Alan Powell: “I did actually; my Dad is a pastor and has been for my whole life.  He’s been pastoring a church in Fort Myers Florida for 15 years. That makes me a PK. I mean there were challenges to it, yes, but honestly there was a lot more good about it. I have a great family.”

RL: Did you meet your wife in Fort Myers?

 Alan Powell: I did. I have known her technically since we were 14 and then we started dating at 17 and I never looked back. And now we have two daughters, a three and one year old. My wife is actually at home taking care of them both now.

RL: How did you protect you marriage through this film?

Alan Powell:“I was able to protect my marriage through and through. My wife was the double in the one kissing scene. So, I was kissing my wife.

And the honeymoon scene is also her doubling in bed with me the morning after we were married. You will see Jed unable to sleep and looking at her thinking of how blessed he is.

In this it’s actually me looking at my wife while playing the role of Jed as he looks at Rose played by my wife. So that look on my face is the most honest look in the film. For us, we needed to do this to make sure our marriage was protected.

And to the filmmakers credit they allowed this. Honestly, I thought I might lose the role because of this. I did the callbacks and everything.

At the end of the eight hour call back they said we know you have some hesitations because of some of the content. So here is the script, read the full thing. Read it and let us know if there is anything else in it you are uncomfortable with. So I took it a 110 page script home.

I started reading it and earmarked every page that had something I was uncomfortable with and not exaggerating here out of 110 pages I marked 70 pages.

MO:  You are from a very interesting background in terms of acting, what inspired you. I know you grew up in a Christian Home but why acting?

Alan Powell: “Because it is what moves me. I love music but the medium that had the biggest impact on my life is film. For me the idea I could be a part of doing something that can impact someone else as film has impacted me is exciting and gets me up each day. I didn’t know if I would be good at it, but I wanted to do everything I could do to learn all I could learn so I could find out. Acting is a passion.

MO: What do you hope comes from the film?

RL: And how do you hope it engages others in conversations?”

Alan Powell: I think it is a timeless message, which is what I love about it. It is a modern day telling of the life of Solomon which is an old, old, thousands of years, old story.

But the message never changes. The point is life is meaningless outside of God. God gives life meaning and God gives life purpose. And it doesn’t mean it’s just for now or was for a thousand years ago.

So to me I think when people see THE SONG and walk out of the theaters they will see that fame is fleeting and life is fleeting but God is forever. This is certainly the main message I hope people will take away from it.
