Choosing the Next Art Film Script


May our films grow like the fruit of the Spirit from our lives Because of the interest of two possible venues in our "Film-Gallery-Café" idea, we are encouraged to begin reviewing several screenplays which have been on hold.
Our vision is that the production process itself, this Spring and Summer, will help form a circle of collaborators which will nurture one another toward greater productivity.
We hope that this fall we will be able to premiere one to three new films in a setting which combines the qualities of a home theater, an art gallery, and a café.
We are concentrating on short films using physical visual art accompanied by rich soundtracks. These films would be shown in the same gallery as the art used to make them.
Among the scripts being considered are
"The Gateway" using a painting and poem about using your imagination in prayer,
"Here On the Stone" exploring Lazarus' point of view of dying and being resurrected,
and
"Beautify Oh"
using photo montages to amplify a poetic prayer for beauty.
We want the films to be conversation pieces and to encourage viewers to talk about the truth being presented. We trust God to draw people closer to Himself through these films and conversations.
