Fun Fest 2012: Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Life!

Disney may own Indiana Jones now, but that didn't stop us from using the iconic character as our inspiration for Fun Fest 2012. Thanks to Andrew Rog of Cross Eyed Photography for most of these pics!

Indy tends to find himself having to examine issues of spirituality more often than he likes. This provided many storytelling opportunities for Derek as he constructed the script for the epic 17 minute skit.

The crew! They've had a combined total of 2.5 hours of sleep in the past 4 days.

The show starts with Indy in a familiar predicament, this time with his sidekick Sanjay. Despite her tough demeanor and large authentic Thompson submachine gun pointed at the guys, the lovely Fatima cuts the ropes and gives them a clue that will help them later on.

Sanjay tells Indy the important clue given to him by Fatima.

And accidentally sets fire to a spider web, which contains another clue! After this, a confetti cannon sprayed plastic spiders all over the crowd!

Sanjay has a talent for seeing the future. He sees Calvary... Calvary Chapel Burbank! He suddenly sees the gathered crowd and hands out candy to the kids.






















Back to his adventure... Indy and Sanjay take cover as a massive rock slide threatens to bury them!






















It turns out Sanjay drank some poisoned water earlier in the show and isn't feeling very good.

Indy finds the "Fountain of Life," which is revealed to be out of order. He has no choice but to humble himself and reluctantly say a prayer for Sanjay.

His prayer is answered as, with God's help, he puts the gathered clues together to discover that if he strikes a nearby rock, life-saving water will save Sanjay's life.

Sanjay awakens and the men walk into the sunset, with Sanjay discussing Indy's need to look into the biblical account of the Ark of the Covenant - unbeknownst to Indy, the subject of the next big adventure in his career.

Here are a few cast/crew pics!



I'm not sure who to credit for this, but someone cut together a two minute summary of the show, which you can view here, on the CCB website.

The show is also available for your viewing pleasure on the TV in our living room.

October 2012 is in the books! On to November!
