"A Social Network Christmas" mini-movie (4 min.) . . . The Christmas story as told by Facebook status updates and wall posts

What if a timeless story had been set in a digital age?

From the creative minds at Igniter Media, below is "A Social Network Christmas," a 4-minute mini-movie of the Christmas story as told by Facebook status updates and wall posts.

Per the YouTube.com description,

This video is an artistic take on how the story of the nativity might have read had a social network existed at the time of Jesus's birth. Follow this historical period as it unfolds as a digital narrative. This vignette is great for highlighting the truths and circumstances of our Savior's birth in a fresh, unique way.

The Dallas-based Igniter Media (est. 2003) creates media resources for churches by "simply visually sharing (not creating) the Truth which God has already declared."
