The goal of the festival, put on in Orlando by a group called Christian Film Festivals at a cost of $60,000 for the two screens for the week, is not only to entertain existing Christians, but for Christians to return to the festival with people lost or looking for their faith again.At the end of each movie they asked anyone who wanted to accept Jesus into their hearts and ask for forgiveness to come down to the front of the theater and volunteers would pray with them privately. It was pretty cool.
We saw two films (Pilgrims Progress and Hidden Secrets), which I'll review later, and saw a comedic performance by Christian actor David A. R. White. We also got to speak with at length to David A.R. White and Kevin Downes, actors/producers of such films reviewed here like The Moment After and The Moment After 2, as well as Danny Caralles producer/director of Pilgrims Progress. We spent so much time with White and Downes that White often involved us in his comedy act.
This year has been a good year, especially for DC who has met the Christian actors and directors above, Eduardo from Bella and the best Christian musician on the planet (in my opinion), Matt Maher.
If you get a chance to attend the festival, please do. It will run through next Thursday (10/25). They have a ton of free literature, more Christian films such as Facing the Giants, The Moment After 2, various Veggie Tales and many others. The volunteers are nice, helpful and sincere. The movies are very good. And the experience worth the drive.
DC and I really enjoyed ourselves. It was a very special day for just the two of us together .
