I have a simple question. I have published my autobiography, entitled “A Dark Pathway to Light” and I am about to publish my 2nd novel, which is christian fiction, entitled “Redemption of an Outlaw.” I would like information on the possibility of getting either one of my books produced into a movie? I am disabled because of a motorcycle accident, that you will read about in “A Dark Pathway to Light” and I am just curious as to the possibilty of getting either one of these novels produced into a movie. Please respond, to my request?
Hi Ryan.
Sounds like these would make a great movie. We don’t have anything to do with making films, but are tying to put together a list of those who do.
We are just getting started, so check back to this page for more info.
These Production Companies might be able to help.

I am a pastor and evangelist, i preaches in market places, Church and villages in Ghana. there is one thing i long for to work effectively when i go to villages and towns to preach. i always pray about how to get a PROJECTOR DEVICE with this types of amazing films for an evangelism. this really can attract souls to hear Gods and win them for the Church. (if anyone knows of a contact to supply this pastor/evangelist with a projector, please contact him directly and make arrangements!)

Saw your website and wanted to get you some information on the Biola Media Conference. BMC is the largest national conference for entertainment professionals of faith working in mainstream media. The annual event draws 700+ attendees in search of professional training and instruction from some of the most influential individuals in film, tv, PR, media marketing, management, and digital media today. Topics cover every aspect of media related careers, technologies, and ministries from the creative, to the financial, to the production process. I’m attaching a link here http://frontgatemedia.com/mediakits/biola-media-conference.pdf and would love to speak to you when you have a chance.
shalom and many blessings to you, I’m writting to ask if you could recommend me to someone I could send a movie script to I wrote some time ago. Its a 2 hr movie, and its based on a biblical theme but also sci-fi.
Blessings

We don’t really have a list built up yet for this, we do plan on having a list in the future. Pure Flix Entertainment might be able to help, not sure?
Thanks, Roger
Hi there,
How do I pitch a Christian screenplay to a film company? Is it possible to pitch it to Hollywood?

Hi Vicki,
I’m not in this field, so anyone who reads this who has ideas, please share.
All I have is a list of companies who make Christian Films, I would contact them and ask.

Hey! I have a question? Do you guys invest or give donations? My friend and I are trying to raise money for our Christmas film called A Dog For Christmas..would you guys be interested in donating some money for our film, so we can start filming? It would mean so much to us!! Please let me know. Thank you and have a good day:)
Hi, Sorry we do not. We are putting everything we got into growing CFDb right now. If it’s a Christian film, I can put a page up for it on CFDb and have a link saying you are looking for support. Thanks, Roger
Praise the Lord,
I thought I would be able to rent films from you for our congregation’s movie nights only to discover you don’t have provision for non-US residents.
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks for your timely response.
God Bless you.

Hello,
I am a missionary in Thailand. Any way to purchase these movies and download them rather than have a DVD shipped?
Thanks in advance for any help.
That’s Great to hear, keep up the great work your doing.
If you want downloads, the best way is (VOD) Video on Demand. Many films are now on these sites and I will soon be adding (VOD) links to film pages on CFDb.
Here are the biggest (VOD) sites…
1. Netflix Streaming
2. Amazon Instant Video
3. itunes
4. Youtube on demand
5. Hulu
Hello: How long does it usually take for a film submitted to appear in your database? Thanks!
