Pilgrims Progress: Journey to Heaven is adapted from John Bunyan's original book Pilgrims Progress by writer, director and producer Danny Carrales. This updated and modern version of the book follows the lead character, Christian, as he is leaves his family and friends behind in the City of Destruction and, inspired by the Bible, heads toward the Celestial City.
This film actually made its world premiere during this festival!
During his journey is faced with many challenges and characters such as Evangelist, Hypocrisy, Ignorance and Faith. He must over come Demons and Great Despair on his quest to reach heaven.The film was not in its final form and suffered from some required audio tweaking, but the film overall was a nice success. It's a straight-forward approach to the journey all Christians face during their life, struggling with doubt and the burden of sin. We are all easily swayed and can easily get off the right path.
Carrales does a wonderful job managing the immense task required to tell this epic story. The cast is all solid and the visual effects sufficient for its dreamlike quality. Carrales has dedicated almost four years of his life to this project and his passion and love for the subject is visible on the screen.
Daniel Kruse as ChristianThis is a great film for younger viewers. It shows tangible imagery to theoretical challenges facing Christians. It should not only give them a greater understanding of their faith, but inspire greater discussion between parents and children in regards to their faith.
This is a film worth supporting. Check it out.
