Faith and Family Film Industry in Tennessee and local Film Festivals
The faith and family film industry is experiencing a significant shift towards Middle Tennessee, which many in the entertainment field are hailing as the new epicenter for such productions. A prime example is the recent success of “Unsung Hero,” a poignant tale of resilience in a family, set in Nashville, crafted by the Kingdom Story Company in Franklin, TN.
Amidst a landscape where mainstream media often injects controversial messages into their content, there is a refreshing emergence of companies committed to producing movies with uplifting themes and positive messages. These films, devoid of any “woke agenda,” provide a welcome alternative for families and individuals seeking wholesome entertainment. It’s crucial for those who share this preference to actively support faith-based and family-oriented films, thus encouraging their continued production.
Furthermore, Tennessee is not only witnessing the creation of quality projects but also prioritizing the education and development of young filmmakers. Through initiatives like Christian Film Festivals that have been brought here, aspiring filmmakers have the opportunity to learn from seasoned industry professionals, refine their skills, and showcase their talent. These festivals serve as invaluable platforms and gatherings for nurturing new talent and fostering a sense of community within the industry.
In a notable development, seasoned executives with decades of experience from the film and television sector are spearheading a groundbreaking event here in Tennessee this summer. The Christian Charity Film Festival stands out as a unique and highly impactful endeavor that filmmakers worldwide would be proud to participate in. With expertise spanning legal, production, writing, and scoring, alongside insights from Hollywood blockbusters shared through masterclasses taught by industry giants, this festival offers unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
What sets this festival apart is its collaboration with biblically-based charities to produce short films that spotlight the stories of these organizations. This innovative approach not only adds depth to the filmmaking process but also provides charities with a powerful tool to share their mission and impact. By creating films that resonate beyond mere entertainment, participants contribute to a greater cause, enriching both the filmmaking community and society at large. The shorts have lasting value in our communities.
For those interested in joining this transformative event, visit www.christiancharityfilmfestival.com for more information and registration. The festival will take place at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN, on August 2nd and 3rd. Filmmakers are encouraged to connect with a charity and collaborate on producing a short film, while charities can seek out filmmaking teams to create a compelling narrative about their work.
Sponsors are still being sought to help keep costs down for the attendees. Go to the website today, sign up for producing a film, for coming to the event or sponsoring the event.
