  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Prestige is a 2006 psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in 19th-century London, it follows two rival magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, who are obsessed with outdoing each other through their illusions. Their rivalry intensifies as they both create increasingly dangerous and elaborate tricks. The film explores themes of obsession, sacrifice, deception, and the blurred line between reality and illusion. As each magician becomes more consumed by their quest for greatness, the cost of their rivalry grows, leading to personal and professional consequences. The narrative weaves through time, keeping the audience guessing. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The word "prestige" originally meant a trick, from the Latin "praestigium," meaning "illusion."” 
    
  “Nikola Tesla was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, and engineer. For a time, he conducted electrical experiments at his lab in Colorado Springs, where he was also known for his eccentric behavior.” 
    
  “The editing of the film includes one hundred forty-six time jump cuts, where the next shot either flashes back or skips ahead to another time period in the storyline. This averages to almost one timeline jump per minute of the movie.”

  Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? 
  From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. 
  Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name.  
  When God calls, the artist listens.

  The Yin and the Yang of It All -...

  John Kim Faye

  In 1966—the Year of the Horse, not to mention Revolver and Pet Sounds — John Kim Faye was born out of wedlock to a 40-year-old Korean mother and a 62-year-old Irish father. Faye grew up in the state of Delaware, where laws forbidding interracial marriage were still on the books until 1967.As the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Caulfields, Faye was one of the only mixed-race Asian American frontman to sign a major record contract in the alternative rock heyday of the 1990s. In an era that preceded K-Pop—and even the rise of the internet—Faye’s personal journey did not lead to superstardom. Instead, The Yin and The Yang of it All is a memoir about the discovery of a voice, a tribe, and a musical ethnicity that runs far deeper than his Korean/Irish roots.Bookended by the loss of this father against the backdrop of his tumultuous childhood in the post-Vietnam 70s and his mother’s tragic passing in 2012, Faye’s story weaves a tapestry of revealing moments as told from his unique perspective on the cusps of identity, race, and fame.

  The Portraitist - Frans Hals and...

  A biography of the great portraitist Frans Hals that takes the listener into the turbulent world of the Dutch Golden Age. 
   
   
   
  Frans Hals was one of the greatest portrait painters in history, and his style transformed ideas and expectations about what portraiture can do and what a painting should look like. 
   
   
    
  Hals was a member of the great trifecta of Dutch Baroque painters alongside Rembrandt and Vermeer, and he was the portraitist of choice for entrepreneurs, merchants, professionals, theologians, intellectuals, militiamen, and even his fellow artists in the Dutch Golden Age. His works, with their visible brush strokes and bold execution, lacked the fine detail and smooth finish common among his peers, and some dismissed his works as sloppy. But for others, they were fresh and exciting, filled with a sense of the sitter's animated presence captured with energy and immediacy. 
   
   
    
  Steven Nadler gives us the first full-length biography of Hals in many years and offers a view into seventeenth-century Haarlem and this culturally rich era of the Dutch Republic. He tells the story not only of Hals's life, but also of the artistic, social, political, and religious worlds in which he lived and worked.
