For The Bible Tells Me So: New Documentary about the Bible and Homosexuality

I first saw this documentary at a midnight screening at the Sundance Film Festival this year with a group of students from Pacific Union College. I had read about it in the Sundance program and knew it was a film that I wanted to see, but I had no idea how much it would impact me. Luckily, I was the last one allowed into the theater and although we were sitting in the front row, looking straight up at the screen, it somehow felt providential that I was there. The next ho… Continue

Here we go...

The idea for a social networking site for Adventist filmmakers happend because of two reasons: first, I keep finding myself wondering from time to time what other Adventist filmmakers are working on and where they're living; second, becasue I feel that within Adventist filmmaking, as small as we are, that there could be more collaboration between us. Sure, we're spread all over the country and the world, but with the power of the internet, ideas can be shared and discussed from anywhere, project… Continue
