When we first began making movies, I hated reviews. I considered movie reviewers “Filmmaker Enemy #1”. Any time we got a negative review, which was quite often in the early days, I cried, convinced the reviewer was just being mean. As we’ve continued in the industry, I’ve grown to appreciate and, yes, even love reviewers. I’ve…
As a filmmaker who blogs, I have the advantage of observing both sides of the spectrum. As an indie filmmaker, I know the struggle of trying to promote a movie that no one's ever heard of. As a blogger, I work with PR firms and publicists to help promote movies that everyone's heard of. So…
I've been so busy marketing our movie, I realized I'd forgotten to post. LOL! I'm excited to be teaching Marketing for Movies at the Great Lakes Christian Film Festival in Buffalo, New York this weekend. I'll be teaching fellow filmmakers how to brand and market their movies from the beginning using free and cheap tips…
I love romance movies, chick flicks, and sappy dramas. But I realize that those are not first choice on my husband's watch list. He wants something with a little action, or comedy, or cool cars. Chances are, if you're married, you've run into the same dilemma. So I've put together a list of five movies…
They say March comes in like a lion, and that is certainly true for us this year! The month kicked off with an interview on the Michael DelGiorno show. Michael is a popular radio host and will be making his film debut as the Military Chaplain in Summer of '67. If you missed the interview,…
After each movie I always say that's it. No more movies. And I mean it. I honestly thought Providence was our last movie. It screened in AMC theaters in L.A., Times Square, and my hometown of Destin, Florida. It exceeded our grandest expectations with countless awards and positive reviews. How could we possibly top that?…
Today's featured film critic is Jacob Sahms from ChristianCinema.com. With 133 films to choose from, he selected his top three. We're extremely honored to have Providence included in his favorites. After watching 133 films in 2016, I’ve found myself digging through the list to see which films were the ‘best.’ In my opinion, all films…
I love hearing stories of how individuals got started in the film industry. Mark Mitchell has one of the most interesting stories, beginning his filmmaking journey working on Flywheel as a young teen. He was a part of our Providence crew, and I'm looking forward to seeing his work on his latest film, Remember the…
This past weekend we traveled across five states to attend The Narrow Way Film Festival in Philadelphia. Last year we were honored to have The Good Book win Staff Choice, and this year we wanted to show our appreciation and support by attending the festival. Venitia Baldwin and her husband Grant work so hard to…
Saturday, June 25, 2016 will go down as a night where God surprised us in the most unexpected way possible. We entered PROVIDENCE in the ICVM Crown Awards competition with much trepidation. We knew that ICVM was the industry organization and that the previous winners were top of the line films. But we took a…
