MOVIE UPDATE 2019

CONGRATS TO RUN THE RACE

Great news for the team of executive producers Robby Tebow and Tim Tebow along with producer Ken Carpenter and Director Chris Dowling on the expansion of RUN THE RACE from 853 screens to over 1100 screens.  The successful launch of a two million dollar opening weekend keeps the per screen average high enough to warrant expansion.  Our team has been in this exact place before so please rememer this wonderful group in prayer.

Ken has worked for many years building his film skills and this is his first feature so we are thrilled for him as our Franklin neighbor.  Also, the Tebow family met us at the SBC where we spoke in New Orleans on the launch of our film LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE that Darrel Campbell and I worked on together. 

As you all know, we rally around films of family, faith and freedom and RUN THE RACE fits all of these areas and we are honored to support through our V300 prayer team this wonderful film.  I am so thankful for all the filmmakers who are out there in the market place making a difference for Jesus Christ.  Inspiring films are what our nation needs right now.

In a world when politics does not seem to be serving the people, when faith is even questioned and when confusion runs amuck, we must all rally around messages of hope.  I believe this wonderful new film of two brothers brings hope into this world, which is a huge opportunity to share of VMFA films as an update!


SAND IN TUSCANY

The filmmaker's have agreed to create a non-profit donor based opportunity with a new feature documentary entitled SAND IN TUSCANY about the wonderful story of an American GI from Sand Mountain, Alabama who falls in love with an Italian girl in Tuscany during WWII in the Italian campaign against Mussolini and Hitler.  This gripping story will honor the men and women of the 88th Infantry Division and the 313th Combat Division.  

Our team will be partnering with famous archival film partners of WWII and this moving story will be emotional for every couple, along with action filled for those who are moved by the bravery of the "greatest generation".  This is a huge opportunity for donors and sponsor to get involved, so if you are interested, please contact us immediately as this window of opportunity for giving will be filled in the coming months.


CALEB'S HOPE

The first family screening of CALEB'S HOPE took place in the last weekend of February 2019 and what an amazing turn out we had.  We are absolutely thrilled and excited to bring this story to the world.  We are only half way completed, but we have the first draft of the edit.  The next phase is the "sound design" and we will be turning to John Chalfant who helped us with BEYOND THE GATES OF SPLENDOR and LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE, two movies our team was making.  

If you have any access to a place our team can stay in LA for about five weeks, please let us know as this is a major need as we work with John to get this ready for a final mastering process.  

April 12 -13 Caleb is speaking to the Women's Conference of Falls Creek in Oklahoma to over 5,000 women.  Please remember Caleb, Jeremy and Emily as they share in this historic event for their family's ministry.  We believe the doors are opening huge for this film.  

We were asked how much money do we still need to complete the movie?  We need around $100.000 to complete the film and we will need money to put the film in theaters.  The more money we raise the more theaters we can launch into mass distribution.  Please pray about giving and being a part of the most powerful story coming out of Oklahoma in decades. 


UPCOMING FILMS

Be checking next month for two more new film projects on the horizon which have just recently come to fruition from a series of meetings our team has been having.  One story is a very famous story we have been asked to be a part of and we will be excited to share more.  The second story is about a family's personal struggle with cancer and is sure to inspire everyone.  Be praying for these discussions and we will announce next month in our blog.
