Johnny Meier: I think as the demand for faith-based films grows so will the budgets and production values of the films. How would you describe those changes in production, financing, distribution, marketing, and the like over the past few years? Who has been out front on that? Who are some of the “players” in biblically based film entertainment? I’d like to think that people are craving for something positive deep down. These types of films also stand out so strongly in a media culture that is incredibly dark and depraved at the moment. In the past it seems like faith-based films went unnoticed because of the lack of excellence in both production quality and the stories, and that has definitely changed. This movement has helped Intrigue Films shape our ministry and has really assisted us in defining our mission of “Changing Culture Through Film.”Īdam Hastings: I think there has been a shift in the heart of Christian artists and more specifically filmmakers. They are strong Christian men who want to see this world transformed! I believe they are truly guided by God, and they allowed him to use them as a vessel they press on helping Christian-themed movies change the world. It was a tough movie to watch because of its inherent content, but a very thoughtful moving piece that touched a very large number of audiences throughout the world! The Kendrick brothers and their ministry at Sherwood Baptist Church have really changed the Christian film industry as well. Heck, if you are going to give two hours of your life to something it might as well be worthwhile.ĭave Stone: I think The Passion of the Christ portrayed an accurate biblical account of Christ. I think consumers are reaching a point where they are starting to realize that a lot of what Hollywood is producing offers no real value to their lives. I feel as if the content of Hollywood films seems to be getting worse and worse (i.e., watch the trailer for Project X), the need for films that offer Christian values and a positive message is ever growing. Johnny Meier: I see a Godly movement happening in the film industry. Adam Hastings is the production and marketing manager at Pure Flix [ What has changed in the film business where it seems faith-based films are stronger than ever, especially since Passion of the Christ (which seems like a baseline point)? Johnny Meier and Dave Stone are actors, directors, screenwriters and founders of Intrigue Films [ they also star in the new movie One Hit from Home.
