Bell attended Wheaton College. While at Wheaton, he roomed with Ian Eskelin of All Star United. With friends Dave Houk, Brian Erickson, Steve Huber and Chris Fall, he formed the indie rock band, "_ton bundle", which was reminiscent of bands such as R.E.M. and Talking Heads. This is when _ton bundle wrote the song "Velvet Elvis", based upon the same Velvet Elvis painting that he used in his first book Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith. Wheaton College was also where Bell met his wife, Kristen. The band _ton bundle started to gain some local fame and was even asked to perform at large events, but when Bell was struck with viral meningitis these plans fell through.

Plot: Three individuals struggle to survive in this stand off drama involving faith and enlightenment. When Andrew hired Reza for the overnight position at the gas station he manages, he had no idea that training him would be the longest night of his life. As the mundane night drags on, Chris, a disgruntled soldier, interrupts the routine by pointing a gun in Andrew's face and demanding money from the register. Momentarily distracted, Chris finds himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun with Reza as his hostage. Will faith prevent these two men from squeezing their triggers? With the sun on its way up will there be a shot fired before IT RISES FROM THE EAST.
