Message From Tim
Someone once asked me what's it like to make movies that glorify God. I said, "It's the greatest adventure in the world."
When I made my first Christian film back in 2001, 'Gone', I never realized that over 1.2 million people would view it. We shot the film in the Philippines using the world's first HD 24p cameras.
I remember getting an email from a pastor who said after showing 'Gone', 7 people came forward to accept Christ.
It's true: Give God an inch and he'll take a mile.
We've since made 3 more theatrically-released, feature films that have gone around the world. I remember going to the premiere of 'The Genius Club' in Mexico City and giving my testimony to the eager audience. The film was in the theaters for almost a year.
It's a fantastic time to make films that can possibly change the world.
I remember reading about Sir Ernest Shackleton and his expedition to the South Pole. He put out an ad in the newspaper that read:
"MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES,
BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS,
CONSTANT DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL."
Despite that ad, 5,000 men lined the dock to apply! Why? They wanted to be involved in a great adventure because Shackleton's name was so revered.
I want to be that man for Jesus Christ. I'm willing to endure the hazards, the bitter cold, the persecution, and the danger for Christ.
Because, for me, there's no better reward on this planet.
God bless,
Tim
