Beautiful short film. The eucharist ceremony looks like it was actually filmed in 150 AD.
I wanted to know more about Lazarus's past life. Does anyone know who he was or where he taught?

Re: Australian atheist philosopher becomes Coptic monk
Yes, the short film is beautiful. I don't find it inspiring. What's wrong with me?
I planned to become a monk when I was in my late twenties. Then I fell in love and decided to try to learn just to become a human being.
From Fr. Lazarus' description of his former life, as filtered through the rendition that LC linked, it sounds as though he was rather immature. We don't get any actual reasons why he rejected his beliefs that Christianity was false and came to believe it was true, except perhaps that he was convinced that he observed miracles worked by God directly and/or through the saints. Most of his reasons sound like "life needs." It's nice that he feels fulfilled now.
