Echolight Studios - Rick Santorum CEO

June 24, 2013 – EchoLight Studios, the first movie studio to produce, finance, market and distribute faith-based, family films across all releasing platforms, announces former Sen. Rick Santorum as its new CEO.

“Movies can instruct and inspire, and a big market out there wants films that reaffirm the values most American families share,” said Santorum, a 2012 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. “EchoLight is a new door into movie excellence and to more of it. This is a chance to support and cultivate filmmakers within the faith community to develop cinema for wider audiences.”

Santorum will work with EchoLight co-founders President Bobby Downes and Chief Global Strategist Christopher Morrow. A pioneer in the Christian film industry, Downes is both a filmmaker and a founder of ChristianCinema.com, a movie distribution company to buy, rent or stream Christian/faith-friendly films. Morrow comes from years as a successful businessman and entrepreneur and has quickly become known in the film world as a sharp and savvy consigliere.

“Rick, Chris and I all know that culture informs politics and art shapes culture,” Downes said. “Art transcends barriers and goes straight into hearts, and that was never more true than for today’s sight-and-sound generation.”
