I have just watched the video; it was really good at explaining why images of Christ are deeply problematic. Neil Stewart is not someone that I have ever heard of before watching it. He is obviously from Northern Ireland with an accent like that one. Where is he currently a minister?
Is the filming finished?The film is aimed at the broader evangelical church (not saying the Reformed don't need to see it) and the regulative principle will be strange enough to hear I suppose; so, my thought, is why not just go there? It may be that Les simply doesn't have the materials to fill out a segment other than this. I will push one more time at him with's Vic's quote and see.
You should inquire if the issue is lack of footage.Les recently said he hopes to release in October. He has international filming still to do I think and then a few or at least one final here in the US to fill out to completion.
It may be the arc and outline and no place to fill it out without working. He has a plan to use some final US interviews to fill gaps. I'll suggest that.You should inquire if the issue is lack of footage.

This post is a bit more of a question than a statement. The context of this verse below has to do with the change wrought in the Christian's thought process at conversion. It is not saying (as a few do) that while on earth we knew Christ after the flesh, but now that He is ascended we know Him in a Spiritual sense. Years ago, I thought this but do so no longer.
1 Corinthians 5:16 [ASV]
Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
My question is, Does this verse have an application to images of Christ and idolatry in general? Does it represent a carnal desire to still think of Christ from a fleshly point of view? Or, does the verse have no application at all to the topic of this thread? Don't be gentle–I can take it.
I think that the clip is a really great clip. I do believe that any image or dramatic portrayal of Jesus will always fall short of representing him and will even be misleading. But could someone explain how this does not also apply to the preaching of the word? When we say: "Thus saith the Lord" do we not also become vulnerable to the same criticisms?
