We asked the man behind the wheel, Ben Choi, a few questions about how “Easter Jam” came to be and what it’s all about. Check out the interview below!
Where did this idea come from?
Long story short, some friends and I made a mini album earlier this year and I thought it'd be cool to do a live version for family and friends, like a family jam session (that inspired the name "famjam"). I wanted to create the same vibe as the jam sessions we had during ehigh/ecollege retreats, but with an organized set of songs/worship pieces.
What's a famjam?
famjam consists of two ideas. FAMily - worshipping together as brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as meeting and creating new relationships with all the artists (I don't like the word "performers"). JAMming - creating that vibe where the audience feels comfortable to clap, sing along, cheer, etc. We wanted the audience and artists to be on the same level as much as possible (putting the chairs in a circle, having the artists perform on the ground instead of on an elevated stage). We do it for an audience of One and for the one (if at least one person gets touched/blessed/inspired/challenged by what we do, it's worth it).
Can you briefly introduce everyone who appears in the video?
The easter jam crew - Chris (NEXT), Lois (HW), Ben (HW), Daniel (World Mission Smyrna Church), Tiffany (E-College), Joyce Y. (E-College), Jun (E-College), Alex (E-High), Dassel (E-High), Joyce L. (Calvary Chapel), Ethan (E-College), Hiseo (OMC), Eunice (Miracle Land Korean Baptist Church), Paul (Miracle Land Korean Baptist Church), Becca (NEXT), Cathy (NEXT), Judy (E-College), Eric (E-College)
Can you explain the narrative/journey that the viewer goes on from start to finish? What is it that you want viewers to ultimately get by the end?
I wanted there to be an overall resurrection theme for the video, but the artists came up with their arrangements. For the viewer, I hope you smile, laugh, and get blessed in some way by the video!
Any special shoutouts?
