There are a lot of really good faith based screenplays on the 168film dot com web site. Look under write of passage for winners of their writing contest. You can option one of these scripts from them and then produce it for their anual festival. Ive had very good experiences working with this fest.

Absolutely there is a very strict format you are expected to abide by. It is easy to find samples online. There are also form books out there that answer evey concievable question. Most festivl Als these days prefer pdf submissions over physical ones. Any good screenwriting software can export...

I saw the film at a sneak peak. I liked the film. I hated the Trailer, the marketing of the film in general, and the changes Pure Flix demanded be made to satisfy their misguided understanding of what a christian audience wants. This is a reasonably good film that was mismanaged by idiots. This...

Thanks for participating in this thread. I found exactly what I expected to find, but there were some real gems and insights along the way. (not trying to close down discussion here, just saying that I found what I expected to find.) Thanks to all, even to those I whistle down the wind.

The idea that nudity causes lust is laughable. Quite the opposite is true. Hiding the body behind clothing and asking us to imagine what is there is what feeds lust. When the naked body is normalized, and seen routinely, there is much less room for lust to take root.

I agree with Maren. The writing is slanted to say the least. Another important difference between federal employees and those working for state and local governments is how their pensions are paid. Once a federal employee retires, their pensions do NOT come out of the federal tax payer coffers...

Seriously! this has happened to me twice from the SAME film maker. I wrote a script in college about a town taken over by commies... then Kevin Reynolds writes "Red Dawn". then I wrote a script about two of the roman centurions that saw the resurrection and Kevin Reynolds makes "Risen". Now I...

The old wise guy got it right. Studying doesn't really help you truly learn something. The other possible problem, and this isn't exactly what you said, but it happens is that people often put off ACTION until they have more time to study something, thus the studying hampers the activity. this...

Robert Heinlein wrote some pretty amazing "Juveniles" as they were called back then. "Have space suit, will travel" is probably my fav. of the true juvies. Podkayne of Mars was delightful though he didn't consider it a juvenile. I also love his non juvi books. The older ones are better IMO. He...

Actually, you are factually incorrect. Vast numbers of people in the WORLD are not offended by nudity as it is a part of their culture. Please take a moment and realize that the population of the USA is not MOST of the world. There are vast numbers of people in Africa, Europe, central and south...

Interesting thing about the 'stumbling' based arguments. Contextually they always speak of causing a weaker brother or a child to stumble. However, they seem to mostly be asserted by people who consider themselves strong in the faith. I have never had a week person or a non Christian "stumble"...

THis is interesting and different from what I have read about the historical period. was this from a commentary? If so which one. Thanks.

I thought the writing of the books was sophomoric, but I was raised on classic sci fi and I find most of today's y.a. authors to be only adequate writers. on the other hand. I was quite entertained by the movies. not that the writing was better... it wasn't, but I have much lower expectations...

Christians and Marxists have a similar problem when writing film's. they typicly prioritize the message of the film over and above the quality of storytelling in the film. they are message heavy and the film suffers because of it. tell a compelling story and weave the message in subtly and you...

my thoughts so far... yeah, you always have to have a towel if you plan to sit on ANYTHING. and usually it covers all contact with the chair or lounge. not just your bum. So in reality, less flesh to chair contact than a swim suit and no towel. b. I have to agree. nothing in the first...

It is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. But that doesn't make it right or wrong. I would also think the most obvious health risk is melanoma. Bugs seem to be a problem with or without cloths. Again, I totally respect the mass aversion from most of society due to the 'societal norms' we grew...

I have read past threads in this forum on the subject of ''recreational nudity" or "naturists" and though there was some interesting information and opinions there, I would like to focus the discussion a little more in order to lower the noise floor. I have been a casual, and very occasional...

Many would say that since any sin is enough to separate you from God then all sins are equal, but that is incorrect. God does see some sins as worse then others because Jesus said that if anyone causes a child to sin it would be better for them that a millstone were hung around their neck and...

the 168 film project is continually looking for good faith based scripts.

It is unethical to expect to tie up a script without paying an option fee. so no, you are under no ethical restraint. shop it around. I use free scripts all the time and shoot films to give people experience. I had a similar situation where a writer said, "I wrote this as a short for you, but...
