Kevin Max Kerry Livgren Jeff Deyo in The Imposter
The Imposter deals with the lifestyle and subsequent breakdown of a Christian Rock singer to be played by Kevin Max. As much as an inside look into the Christian music industry, The Imposter is also a story of redemption and self-discovery. www.theimpostermovie.com
The new movie, “The Imposter,” tells the age old music industry story: sex, drugs and rock and roll, and the rise and fall of a star. Except this time, we’re not talking about some mainstream act; we’re talking about Christian music.The movie centers on musician Johnny C (Kevin Max), husband, father and frontman for popular Christian rock band Grand Design. The group plays all the major Christian churches and venues, sells records and has loyal following. Johnny C has everything an artist could want. He also has an addiction to painkillers and women. When his wife leaves him and his band kicks him out, Johnny C finds himself broke, homeless, and at rock bottom. Befriended by a church janitor Proff (Kerry Livgren) who doesn’t pull any punches and a homeless eccentric he can’t shake no matter how hard he tries, Johnny C eventually turns his life around.Well, starts to, anyway. Because that’s one of the beautiful things about this movie: no happy ending.
The Imposter was shot in Dallas/Ft. Worth (mostly Burleson, Texas) during January-February 2008. The film is being distributed by PureFlix entertainment and can be found at Amazon, ChristianCinema.com and found in most Christian bookstores on the shelves.
