Naked as Created

A discussion with some of the cast-and-crew behind Naked as Created: The Pastor Jim Moore Story, a new Christian naturist feature film based on the real life of naturist pastor Jim Moore. Producer, co-writer, and actor Tim Chizmar walks through how the project grew out of a collaboration with Moore on his father’s book series. But he then saw the story potential of dramatizing Moore’s own journey about being “outed” as a nudist pastor with the backlash, and freedom, that followed. Moore, his real-life daughter Rachael Moore (who stepped into a lead role after the original actress was unable to participate), lead actor Christopher Michelli, antagonist actor Dan Hawkins, Melody Munson, and Dana Trantham each share what it took to bring the film to life on a minuscule $150,000 budget and a 12-day shoot upended by the 2025 Southern California fires.
