13:02Now PlayingIn this quick and entertaining Ward Radio Angel Studios Special, host Cardon Ellis chats with director Tanner Christensen and legendary cinematographer/father T.C. Christensen about their inspiring documentary Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.
Ben was born with Crouzon Syndrome and faced surgeries, bullying, and limitations — but he chose to stand out. He became a 3-time state wrestling champion, UVU’s first NCAA All-American, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Tanner and T.C. share father-son banter, how they turned a true story into a dramatic narrative documentary (not a slow wildlife film), the real challenges of being LDS filmmakers, brutal ward feedback, “prophet without honor” moments, and the powerful message: you weren’t born to blend in — choose to stand out.
Funny, honest, and uplifting in just 13 minutes!
