Two Hats was on my list of "must-see" at this year's SAICFF, and I wasn't disappointed! I bought the DVD right after the showing and watched it with the rest of the family the next week. This is a film that is challening, encouraging and highly recommended! It also won the Jubilee Award for "Best Great Commission" film!

Follow Brad, Deborah and their 7 children through both setbacks and accomplishments as they share God’s Word, raise a family, and establish the country’s first Christian radio station.

Following article from WORLD press release: Moved by the major economic, political, and moral woes facing the United States, Cameron has been at work over the past couple years on a film project that chronicles his personal journey to historic sites across Europe and the United States, where he sought to discover the “secret recipe” that has made America the freest, richest country in history. Cameron hopes the resulting documentary, Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure, will help provide a path forward for today’s Americans.
“Now this is my project, but it’s about all of us, it’s about our kids and securing a monumental future for them,” he said. “How do we teach them the truths that will set them free internally and externally for the world that they live in and secure their future?”
Monumental tells the story of men and women who risked all for liberty, including the travails of the Pilgrims, and shares stories of faith that helped shape education, government, and civic life in the United States. The film also features interviews by Cameron of current-day political and faith leaders, including Christian author Os Guinness, Senate Chaplain Barry Black, David Barton of WallBuilders, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), and Marshall Foster of the Mayflower Institute.
To add to the film’s educational value, Cameron plans to release supplementary study materials for families, churches, and schools.
Monumental will premiere March 27 at 7:30 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. tape delayed on the West Coast) at approximately 500 movie theaters across the country as part of a live, simulcast event organized by NCM/Fathom Events. The 130-minute program, hosted by Cameron, will include interviews with media, faith, and political figures; live music; and a screening of the 90-minute film. The documentary will have a limited theatrical release beginning March 30.
SAICFF has announced that they will have the exciting privilege of hosting the world premiere of the major motion picture Alone, Yet Not Alone. This feature film tells the true story of the faith and courage of the Leiningers, a family of early-America settlers whose lives are forever changed after an Indian raid.
Be the first to watch this thrilling film when you attend the 2012 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival! - See more images here!
I did some checking on this and from what I understand, they (SAICFF) had been planning to show the film but due to post-production difficulties those plans have been canceled.
"I have not heard a firm date for the premiere or release of ALONE YET NOT ALONE. I wish it were screening at SAICFF, but again, I don't know the final plans." -George Escobar
This has not been verified by the film's producers or the Vision Forum Festival, but since SAICFF has not done any further promo about it after their original announcement in September, it seems doubtful that it will be shown. - If I do receive confirmation either way, I'll be sure to let everyone know!
1872. America provides the backdrop for the story of an unlikely bond between Katherine, a recently widowed mail order bride from Scotland, and Abraham, a humble African-American boy born of a slave woman.
The death of Katherine's husband finds her alone on a land that has produced only hardship the twelve years she has called it home. She now finds this home threatened by Jones, a cruel land developer who has no respect for the law or for Katherine's rights to her own land. Thus begins his quest to force Katherine from her land, and all that she has left in the world.
All seems hopeless until Katherine discovers young Abraham harbors a secret that could save them from Jones' devices. Abraham's strong faith in God's word has manifested physically in him as a supernatural ability. Is a super hero birthed in this humble man named Abraham? His supernatural feats are from what super hero legends were birthed. The speed at which he can run surpasses that of any human seen, as does his ability to leap to the top of trees. Could he be a miracle from God to save Katherine?
From the humblest of men will arise a hero to confound the wise.
January is a very exciting month for the Beyond the Mask project. Our main objectives are to (1) secure investments for the production budget, and (2) complete the final draft of the screenplay. Depending on how fundraising progresses, we will make final plans to begin shooting late spring or early fall of this year. Currently, Chad (in Champagne, IL) and Aaron (north of Detroit, MI) are meeting with potential investors in their areas; later in the month they will be visiting other major cities, including Colorado Springs and Washington DC, as we look to connect with people who will partner with us to create this Christ-centered action-adventure film.
In the mean time, pre-production development continues, as our creative team expands across the country. This week, production designer Nick Burns is in Michigan working on the design and construction of the top-secret final set piece. In addition, he’s meeting with lead costume designer Marilyn Burns to discuss big-picture ideas for the Main Characters’ costuming. In New York, our visual effects supervisor (Ethan Ledden) is working on test renders of an experimental 3D model of one of our major sets. Down in Ohio, Gabe Everson, our extras’ costumer, is designing and creating sample costumes. Philip Smith (a gunsmith and colonial craftsman in Florida) has begun the construction of a 18th century sniper rifle.

"Everywhere we go, we are surrounded by screens. Have we entered a techno utopia or a virtual prison?" Producer and co-director, Phillip Telfer, asks this and other pertinent questions in the new documentary "Captivated: Finding Freedom in a Media Captive Culture."
Everyone would agree that we live in a media-saturated society, but how many consider the possibility that they have become captives? People of all ages are being held hostage by television, video games, social networks, movies, texting, tweeting, and more. They have become infatuated with the things of the world and distracted from God, from eternity, and from deeper relationships with each other.
This feature-length documentary is not anti-media or anti-technology, but raises concerns about the unchecked enthusiasm regarding media, and highlights the overwhelming evidence of growing problems on multiple fronts. It addresses the potential physical, moral, spiritual, mental, and emotional impact of today's media and technology when consumed or used without discretion.
This film has an outstanding lineup of interviews featuring Ray Comfort, Bob Waliszewski, Dr. Ted Baehr, Dr. Jeff Myers, Kerby Anderson, Kevin Swanson, Dr. David Walsh, Al Menconi, Dr. Dimitri Christakis, Dick Rolfe, Phil Chalmers, Professor Mark Bauerlein, Maggie Jackson, and more.
What really makes this movie extraordinary is the personal stories of everyday people who have found freedom from their former bondage to media and technology. Nick, an auto mechanic, shares about his former addiction to NASCAR and NFL. Corey, a young skateboarder, talks about his experience of going on a media fast. Neysa candidly admits her struggle with Farmville on Facebook, and several other stories bring this down to earth for the average viewer.
This documentary is a production of the non-profit organization Media Talk 101, founded by Phillip Telfer. Phillip wrote, produced, and co-directed the documentary with the help of award winning director, Colin Gunn.
