Hello Everyone, As we prep to start filming our next short film this week I wanted to take a moment to share the biggest way you can help.

So we want to encourage you to take time a pray for the project over the next week. And if you want to see what to pray for specifically follow the link below and keep checking back throughout the week for more prayer requests. Prayer Request

Unbelievable. By God's Grace our upcoming short film Crave not only was funded but it was we raised a little more than our goal.

Make sure to follow us here and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more updates on the film. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. 

We are down to only 70 minutes left in the campaign and the Lord continues to work and open the flood gates. We are now over 80% funded and need less than $2000 to hit the goal of $13,000. In fact we only  need 198 more people to donate at the $10 level. That is already down from 298 this morning. Continue to pray, spread the news and consider donating below. Kickstarter Campaign

We only have 5 hours left in our campaign. And we need less than $3000 to reach the goal. That is only 298 people at the $10 level. Together we can reach that goal before noon today. Follow the link to donate below. Kickstarter Campaign

14 Hours remain and we only have to raise at least $500 before a donor has agreed to make sure the film will get funded. Let's keeping pushing though to try and raise the entire $13,000 before noon tomorrow when the campaign ends. In fact we only need 351 people at the $10 level to reach the full fundraising goal.  Finally, we are thrilled to have my sister back on set as a PA for the film. She has helped with all of our previous films and will even have a small cameo in this one. Kickstarter Campaign

So many milestones have just happened in a couple of hours. First we are officially over 70% funded for the project. It is exciting to see how God continues to bring in the needed funds even as the clock continues to count down.  Second, a few hours ago we still needed 392 people to donate at the $10 level to reach our goal. That number has now dropped down to 356 and continues to decrease. With your help we can get that number to 0 before noon tomorrow when the campaign ends. Finally, we are pleased to welcome the latest addition to the cast of Crave. Please welcome Rev. Gerald Kapanka in the role of Pastor Ron.
