Grafted + YouTube = Free Streaming!

We are excited to announce that Grafted has been uploaded to YouTube. You can now stream Grafted for free! DVDs and downloads are still available if you want to own a copy. If you have already purchased a download, your link will still be active. 

If you've watched Grafted and it has blessed to you, would you please share it with others? We pray this film will continue to bless families, remind believers of their adoption in Christ, and encourage participation in earthly adoption, whether through prayer, giving, or actual adoption. 

THANK YOU!

Thank you to friends and family who have watched and shared Still. We've been so blessed by the emails and comments from people sharing how Still has affected them. A special thanks to one of the pastors at our church, Dr. Voddie Baucham, who shared Still on his FB page. Overnight, the number of views more than doubled! He also shared about Grafted.

Stay tuned! We'll have some exciting news about Grafted tomorrow!

Soli Deo Gloria,
Randy, Pat, Caleb, and Lisa

Still...

It's been a long time, but we're back. We haven't made any other films while we've been incommunicado, because nothing seemed to be the right subject at the right time. Until now.

Caleb and Lisa participate in speech and debate through NCFCA, which we highly recommend for myriad reasons. This is the inaugural year of NCFCA's film contest, so that means it's time to make a film, right? Well, yes and no.

Caleb and Lisa have wanted their next film to be a narrative, and Caleb, the writer and story idea man, has been working hard through the summer writing several short stories. We've discussed many of them as possible films, but for many reasons, those other films haven't worked yet. We couldn't get enough people for the crew; the people we wanted for the main actors were unable to participate at that time; the film required locations that would be difficult to obtain, and so on.  Were we really supposed to make this film? There seemed to be so much providential hindrance. With Grafted, though there were issues (Anyone remember our move and the wildfires?), we were already neck deep in making the movie, so they seemed more distractions, rather than hindrances. But this time, there really seemed to be a big "NO!" to all the other ideas. And then there was Still.

The theme for the film contest entries is determination. Still is a short (8 min.) film about life, love, and loss. We were blessed to have Zachary Horner compose and arrange the original score. We hope you enjoy Still.

Introducing Zachary Horner!

We've shared about the Horner family and how much they helped us in our last minute efforts to finish on time. Zachary was especially helpful. He added extra music and was our sound editor for the music. We think he did a wonderful job, all at the young age of 16! He writes and performs music, plays several instruments, and sings as well. To sample and purchase some of Zachary's music, visit: http://bluebehemoth.com/album/60825/.

Coming Attractions!

Well, after praying and waiting, and praying some more, we believe we have our next project. We will be sharing the story of a family we have been blessed to get to know over the last year. The D'Amatos have four children, but the youngest, Ethan, was diagnosed with a chronic disfiguring disease. Though to many, this would be a tragedy; the D'Amatos, through God's grace, have used this as an opportunity to share the gospel with those who are first curious about Ethan's disease.

We hope to be filming soon. We'll be sharing clips and behind the scenes footage as well. Please stay tuned!

Thanks for being patient

OK, so we now have the kinks worked out of the download. If you wish to purchase a download, on the left side bar of this blog, there is a Paypal button. Once you have purchased a download, we will send you a password, and a link to our Vimeo page. Then have the option of streaming or downloading. We hope you will be blessed!


Stay tuned for a special announcement tomorrow.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who took part in our free online streaming of Grafted. We were amazed and blessed at the response. We appreciate all who referred others through blogs, Twitter, FB, and any other method. Thank you to those who watched for the first time, then shared it with others. We were glad to hear that it made you laugh and cry, and that you were encouraged.

While it's no longer available for free, you can purchase the DVD (see right side bar). In addition, we're working out the kinks to make Grafted available as a download as well. We hope to have that up very soon. Finally, if you would be interested in hosting a showing for your church or group, you can email us at graftedthemovie@gmail.com.

Also, stay tuned for an announcement regarding our next project, which is currently in the pre-production stages!

Sola Deo Gloria!
