Elisabeth Leitch

For the second time this year, we get to revisit one of our classic fairy tales. In this reimagining, though, we get an additional focus on one of the tale's otherwise supporting characters.

For Greater Glory

Fighting Back, Religiously

Paula Parker

Not so longer, being a person of faith in Mexico was politically incorrect. When things escalated to the point of bloodshed, believers fought back. Andy Garcia (The Untouchables) and Eduardo Verastagui (Bella) bring the tale to the big screen in an epic-scale retelling.

Chely Wright: Wish Me Away

Darrel Manson

From as far back as she can remember, Chely Wright wanted to be a country music star and perform at the Grand Ole Opry. She was blessed with the talent to make that happen. Also, all through her life she prayed to God to not be gay, because she knew that she could not get to the Grand Ole Opry if she were.

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.

Documentaries

Promised Land and Beware of Christians

Documentaries that show the lighter side

Comment Here

Promised Land explores how surfing connects the lives of Jews, Muslims and Christians in Israel. Beware of Christians is the story of four college guys who travel across Europe to discover what it means to truly follow Christ.

Shorts

Journey to Jamaa and Ragman

Award Winning Shorts from TAFF

Comment Here

These two films did exactly what shorts ought to do. Rather than simply telling a good story, shorts should strive to make a lasting impact. Like a quick punch, they should provide an instant awakening.

Man on a Ledge

The Tension Game

Jacob Sahms

Now on Blu-ray. A combination heist film, revenge film, and reclaimed innocence film, this picture ratchets up the tension high by combining another standard genre element: the man-in-peril scenario.
