Documentary: Discovering Who Is This Jesus?

Two thousand years ago a man who changed the course of history was born. He was a carpenter. As an adult he never traveled more than 60 miles. He was betrayed by one of his 12 followers and executed for crimes he did not commit. Today in an age of skepticism and materialism there are millions of people from all walks of life who believe in him and who claim he has radically changed their lives. But who is this Jesus? Archaeologist, author, and historian Chris Sinkinson seeks to answer the question in a down-to-earth, no-nonsense style, specifically designed to help people with no previous knowledge of Jesus to have a better understanding of who he is.

作者,明星,和守護者 The Author, The Star, and The Keeper (2020)

Producer: Mark Erdmann, Elizabeth M. Zambo, Jessica M. Zambo, Steven F. Zambo
Director: Steven F. Zambo

Cast: Bruce Marchiano, Simon Jon Provan, David Ruprecht, Heather Ricks, Dale Waddington, Ken T. Williams, Christian Gill, Diane Richardson, Rick Richter, Tyler Johnson

Distributed by: Green Apple Entertainment / Atonement Pictures

From the beginning of time, The Author (Bruce Marchiano), has written a prodigal son story for an estranged son The Star (Simon Jon Provan), who returns to his childhood town to rekindle his relationship with his ailing father The Keeper (David Ruprecht).

August Star “Augie” (Simon Jon Provan) fittingly is living out his dream as a theatrical “star,” playing the lead role in a stage production. When his manager, Rhonda (Dale Waddington), pressures him to leave the show to pursue screen acting, Augie realizes he needs to take a break.

After learning about an opportunity to deliver a specialty car to Las Vegas, Augie jumps at the chance to take a road trip. On his way to Vegas he decides to take a detour to visit his childhood town. During his hometown visit, Augie tries to reconnect with his dad, nicknamed Keeper (David Rupprecht). He used to be the lighthouse keeper but suffers from memory loss and now lives at the local assisted living center.

The crux of this film is Augie’s and Keeper’s strained relationship due to Augie’s absence and Keeper’s lapse of memory. As Augie fights to make up for lost time with his dad, he discovers a family secret that changes his outlook. The Author, The Star & The Keeper chronicles Augie’s experience of renewing his relationship with both his father and the Heavenly Father. Various characters are interwoven throughout this movie that both help and hinder Augie’s journey along the way. The film’s underlining theme of allowing God’s light to shine throughout your life merits our Dove-Approved Seal for All Ages.

講述燈塔守護者的孩子如何從繁忙的演出工作中回到父親身邊,找到家人和天父,回到真光當中,並且把這光一代一代傳下去。每個人都是一本書,天父都在看,我們如何繼續在現今的生活中譜寫未來,在乎我們現在的決定,跟隨天父的真光直到見父的那一天。

禱告盒 The Prayer Box (2018)

Director: Kevan Otto

Writer: Trisha Mammen

With his sister suffering from terminal cancer, a young boy takes it upon himself to get God’s attention by answering the prayers of members of his church in hopes that God will heal his sister.

The Prayer Box is a beautifully tragic story about what happens when God doesn’t intervene the way people want him to. Following the story of a young boy who sets off on a mission to get God’s attention in hopes that God will heal his sister from terminal cancer, the young boy begins answering the prayers left by church members in the pastor’s prayer box after the pastor throws them away, jaded by his own suffering. It tackles the heavy issues of unanswered prayer and if God even hears/answers prayer with a message that is heartbreaking in its raw portrayal of human pain and suffering in this world. Not a conventional inspirational faith film, this film is undeniably powerful in the fact that it challenges preconceived notions of whitewashed happy-go-lucky faith. This film does not hide the fact that life is full of pain, suffering, loss, and betrayal, yet it somehow manages to take these themes and find God in the midst of it all. There is a childlike innocence and naivety to the young boy who finds a confidant in an elderly man who takes him under wing, providing both mentorship and comic relief amid the pain the young boy faces with his dying sister and his mother who has distanced herself from the rest of the world. The most interesting character, however, is that of the Pastor who shocks the audience with his dumping of the prayer requests into the trashcan. Initially painted as a hypocritical and unfeeling spiritual leader to a group of blind followers, his character evolves into one of particular interest as it is revealed how he became so jaded at his calling, and how the young boy’s faith brings a personal revival to the Pastor’s life and his congregation as a whole. This is a phenomenally complex, challenging, and thought-provoking film, powerfully presented with an expertly delicate hand.

紀錄片:說話的這位神 The God Who Speaks (2018)

Producer: Jeff Chamblee, M.D. Perkins
Director: M.D. Perkins

Tracing the evidence for biblical authority.

The God Who Speaks traces the evidence of the Bible’s authority through interviews with some of the most respected apologists, scholars and pastors in the evangelical world. Answering common objections to biblical reliability and the Bible’s formation, this documentary challenges the church to live as if God truly does speak.

There is a war raging around us – in society, in our churches, and in our homes. It is not a battle over marriage, race, or the sexual revolution. Rather, it is a battle for the truth. Is God real? Does He speak, and if so, how would we know? While many churches are faithfully proclaiming the truths found in Scripture, others have lost confidence in the Bible’s divine authorship. The God Who Speaks is a 90-minute documentary that traces the evidence of the Bible’s authority through interviews with some of the most respected apologists, scholars, and pastors in the evangelical world. This film answers common objections about the Bible’s reliability and equips believers to confidently base their lives on the power of God’s Word.

The journey that led to Charles Dickens’ creation of “A Christmas Carol,” a timeless tale that would redefine Christmas.

In 1843, celebrated British novelist Charles Dickens is at a low point in his career with three flops behind him and family expenses piling up at home. Determined to recover, Dickens decides to write a Christmas story and self-publish it in less than two months. As Dickens labors writing on such short notice, his estranged father and mother come to bunk with him. Still haunted by painful memories of his father ruining his childhood by his financial irresponsibility, Dickens develops a seemingly-unsolvable writer’s block. Dickens must face his personal demons epitomized through his characters, especially in his imagined conversations with Ebenezer Scrooge. With a looming deadline, Dickens struggles for inspiration against his frustrations and his characters’ opinions in a literary challenge creating a classic tale that would define the essential soul of modern Christmas.
