“I believe that film is one of the most powerful mediums of today that can change our culture. I really believe that we have only recently begun to really utilize this medium at a local level. What ministries and organizations need today is not a great marketing campaign, but powerful contagious stories….stories that move, inspire and compel people to ask, think and stare deep into their souls.”
