The Believer marks Aidan Bristow’s producing debut. Working with friends Shan Serafin (the film’s director/writer) and co-star (and fellow producer) Sophie Kargman enhanced the production’s creative value.

That said, producing a film is a monumental undertaking, and Bristow recounts the challenges of balancing both jobs during shooting. Although this is an independent feature, The Believer was not just a run and gun situation. Bristow, Serafin, and Kargman worked on the rehearsal process for an estimated five months, which is a total luxury in the film world.

Having veteran actor Billy Zane as part of the ensemble was also a plus for The Believer, and he talked about collaborating with Zane on the project as well. The Believer is now available on Digital.
