An interview with an Orthodox Christian App Designer

Joachim Vesely

Apps have become a booming market with the expansion of smartphone use. Like the internet generally, as well as social media, there needs to be an Orthodox presence in this field. In this episode of The Moving Icon, Chris Vlahonasios interviews Joachim Vesely, an Orthodox app designer and filmmaker who was the winner of Byzanfest 2014’s “Best Screenplay & Best Film” award for his film, Power of Dogs. Joachim shares with our listeners details on how to create and market apps. He also offers his expertise to assist other Orthodox developers who may have ideas they would like to create.
