Who is Standing Sun?
Standing Sun was started by Zack and Natalie Lawrence in 2009 with the goal of creating helpful and uplifting media through the visual arts.  Zack has been a filmmaker and actor since 2004 and has produced everything from documentaries to YouTube skits, from television shows to commercials, from short films to web series.  Natalie is a homemaker and mother.  Both natives of Southern California, they were married in the spring of 2009 and now live in Southwestern Colorado with their  daughter.

Why Standing Sun?
The name Standing Sun comes from the Biblical account of the battle between Israel and the Amorites found in Joshua chapter 10.  God gave Israel victory over their enemies, even causing the sun to stand still in the sky for about a whole day so that the Amorites could be defeated before the sun set.
The Joshua tree in our logo represents Zack and Natalie’s shared heritage in Southern California where the sight of Joshua trees dotting the landscape is commonplace.  The tree was also named after Joshua, the man that led Israel in battle against the Amorites, by settlers crossing the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century.
