"Slow Fade" the Movie in Production Now

Today the Christian Movie that I am following the development of is a move that reminds us that "Every day we make choices that affect how we live" ... a movie called "Slow Fade".

“Slow Fade” is the second movie being produced by ClockWork Cinema of Couer d’Alene, Idaho. ClockWork Cinema, whose vision is “to create “Family Films” that will influence our culture and to restore morality to films and Glorify God in all of their work” was started in 2008 with the production of their first short film called “The Last Letter”. “The Last Letter” was produced on a budget of $2500.00, was entered in many film festivals and led to the beginning of this new production “Slow Fade”.

The screenplay for “Slow Fade” is written by Ryan Anstett. He is also directing the film which is produced by Nicholas Madsen. There is a lot of work currently underway on the production and we will keep you posted here on our blog as work continues.

Here is a rundown on the story behind “Slow Fade the Movie”:

Thomas is the average young boy growing up in a big city. Thomas' single mother is working full time to support her and Thomas. While his mother is out working Thomas is left to raise himself and occasionally a sweet old grandmotherly neighbor watches Thomas. As each day passes Thomas makes choices that will affect his entire future life. He begins making little choices here and there that lead him further and further into a moral trap. As Thomas' home life begins to deteriorate he is faced with harder and more difficult choices. Finally Thomas is put to the final test when he discovers that his mother’s salary cannot keep up with the rent and maintenance costs of their home. He must act quickly or they will lose everything. Every choice he has made will affect his decision. His past will now dictate his future. He must overcome his past, his fears and the pressure from everyone around him in order to avoid the Slow Fade.

"Rescue Us" - New Movie in Development

I am following the development of a new movie being readied for production by Grace Pictures in Las Vegas, Nevada. The film is called “Rescue Us” and is the first feature film project of a film ministry headed by Peggy Chaves called Grace Pictures.

“Rescue Us” is an inspirational story that takes you from recovery to Redemption. The plan for this movie is that it will touch the lives of anyone who suffers or knows someone who suffers from alcoholism or other addictions. The story takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, otherwise known as “sin city,” where alcohol and gambling is all around you. Only by grace, through faith, can this family be saved.

Here’s a little summary of the plot:

Joshua, an private airline pilot, has a beautiful wife and a son, named Sammy, who he would give his life for. When Sammy was first born something very tragic happened and Joshua did not know how to deal with it. He never imagined that things could get any worse until the day Sammy was diagnosed. There’s only one thing that Josh feels he needs to take away his pain, for a time.

Josh and his wife Beth would enjoy a drink now and then; but Beth didn’t realize how much he was drinking until she catches him in some lies. When she finds out, she pleads with him to get help but he refuses to accept that there's a problem. In order to protect herself and Sammy she asks Josh to leave.

Joshua finds himself on the streets and meets one person who gives him two choices. Josh’s ultimate decision will affect him and his family for the rest of their lives.

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14 (NIV). One in four households are affected by addiction. “Rescue Us” … the cry of each one is the same.

Be watching this blog and others for the release of this Christian film. You can check out the movie website at http://www.rescueusthemovie.com/ for more information.

"A Christmas Snow" - Fabulous Family-Friendly Movie - Get It Now!

My wife and I had the opportunity to see this film at least four times before we showed it at our church at an official screening on the 26th of September and we LOVE IT! Every time we watch it we catch something else that is part of the message of the fil...m. So ... not only should you purchase a copy for you, your family and your friends but you will also want to watch it over and over. The message gets stronger each time you watch it as you see other connections to the story that Producer Tracy Trost is sharing in the film.

 

I am really focused on presenting films in our community that have solid family values and this film has been one that I have been watching the development of for many months and was extremely pleased to be able to offer the screening to the people of our community and now I am extremely pleased to recommend that you too purchase the film. You won't be sorry that you did.See More
