The Attic Film Festival
Melinda Ledman

 

Faith-based films face insurmountable obstacles such as a small talent pool, very little funding, virtually no scripts to choose from, and an agenda that doesn't fit the standard Hollywood model. But it is a still very young industry that is rapidly growing and changing.

  

Period Pieces
Milltown Pride and Walther
Two Faith-Based Period Pieces worth seeing

I was delighted to see two faith-based films that pulled off stories set in the past. In costume, set, and dialogue, these films did not break the threshold of believability or setting. Neither main character resolves his problems quickly or easily.

 

Features
Reconciliation and Rogue Saints
I laughed, I cried... it moved me, Bob.

Rogue Saints held the biggest number of laughs I've had at a movie in at least the last two years, and Reconciliation does the unthinkable by addressing a conflict that neither Hollywood nor faith-based films want to touch.

By the Seat of the Pants

Jacob Sahms

Now on Blu-ray. Yes, we know that producer George Lucas was inspired by WWII aerial footage when he made Star Wars... so this material is right up his cinematic alley. But what about the things that happen outside the cockpit?
