COME AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR FILM:
Fulton Sheen warned us we would become blind to the truth... this movie is the cure.
Did you know 70% of Catholics don't believe in the Real Presence? We are changing that.
After received the support from the US Bishops on our visit with Carlo Acutis mother Antonia in NY, be featured 4 times on EWTN, and after the Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress where we pitched our Film...
Here the link of one of the EWTN interview when the production cost were lower post COVID with Carlo Acutis mother's - Antonia Acutis - our Partner & Producer in this movie:

HOW WE GOING TO USE THE $3 MILLION?
WE RE-FILMED TO IMPROVE OUR ACTION SCENE WALKING ON WATER & CRUCIFIXION:
We finished filming The Jesus Walking on Water scene with 10 feet waves to the Prestigious Disney Water Tank used for the Kevin Costner Coast Guard rescue movie The Guardian (2006) and recently for "The Chosen" was a massive custom-built wave tank located in Shreveport, Louisiana. This 750,000-gallon outdoor tank, The 8,000-square-foot, managed by Louisiana Wave Studio, was designed to simulate the violent, "monstrous" 10-foot waves of the Bering Sea, for a live-action production setting where all departments, including stunts and effects, collaborated to build specialized wave-making machines and current rivers to simulate ocean environments for performance capture.
We had the Top Concept Designer in the world, that worked for Disney - Industrial Light Magic - Marvel creating the most OUTSTANDING concept for the walking on water scene - NO OTHER MOVIE CAN EVEN COMPARE TO OUR FILM pre visualization of it. Now we need your donation to actually develop Special Effect Animation.
WE FINISHED FILMING & EDITING ALL THE BIBLE REENACTMENT SCENES:
As you might have noticed, due to the low donations, since we could not move forward and because we finished all the money editing all the Bible reenactment scenes we had to put a pause in production.
We have over 120+ hours of row footage but here are the length of the scene edited in 1:52:57:4:
Opening Montage - edited 3:22
Exodus - edited 15:02 sec
Behold the Lamb - John the Baptist - edited 4:58 sec
Loaves & Fish - edited 9:09 sec
Walking on Water - edited 12:24 sec
Bread of Life & Jesus in Synagogue - edited 27:11
Last Supper - edited 13:54 sec
Scourging - Carrying the Cross - Crucifixion - edited 3:22 sec
Road to Emmaus - edited 13:25 sec
Paul's Conversion & 1 Corinthians 11:27 - edited 7:50
St Tarcisius - edited 2:24 ( we still need to filming some action scenes )
The same editor - as you might know - he made a trailer that features some of the Bible reenactment just for all of you donors to showcase our professionalism even tho the movie is not done yet.
We have done a SPANISH Translation of the Trailer as well:
Some potential donors requested some extra clips edited because they wanted see more in order to donate the $3Millions we need to finish our film. But we had to put an end to the everlasting request since they led us to use our budget that was supose to be utilized for finish the film. And so we did... adding this charming montage.. but all this costed lots money to us to color correct, and to have our editor edit it and have a sound guy did a pass on it.
If you scroll down to the bottom we explain in detail a breakdown of all the costs and expenses on how we hope to use the 3 million dollars we seek to finish this BEAUTIFUL MOVIE. This page is to showcase how far we went with less then $600K if we don't count some reshooting and Trailers we had to do for convince donors of the IMMENSE EXPERTISE we have in this industry and EXTRAORDINARY LOVE FOR JESUS IN THE EUCHARIST. We are a non-profit and all the money you might donate can be 100% fully deducted from your taxes.
"While our team has helped build the world's biggest blockbusters, The New Manna is the only film designed to save souls through the scientific and scriptural truth of the Eucharist. We are 60% finished, but we are currently 'blindfolded' by a lack of remaining funds. Your $25 donation doesn't just buy a frame of film; it buys a moment of clarity for a searching soul."
The "Corpse Obedience" Challenge: "St. Francis said obedience is like a corpse—moving wherever God wills. God has willed this movie to the finish line. Will you be the hands that carry it there?"
PLEASE COSIDER TO DONATE TO OUR NONPROFIT 100% TAX FREE:
WE FIXED ALL JESUS HAIR SHOTS:
We also re-filmed on a green screen all the close up for Jesus hair and flew our Make-Up & Hair Stylist Artist Award Emmy Winner Liz Roelands.
Where Jesus' hair was not perfect, due to humidity or strong wind were not up to par with the rest of the movie, thanks to Liz she came to our rescue and gave a FANTASTIC and OUTSTANDING outlook at Jesus' hair, as it can show in this frame. Wish we could show you the surprise makeup she made for Jesus' resurrection ... but you will need to wait until the movie is out.
WE BUILD 3D COMPUTER LOCATION AND CHARACTERS - LIKE THE 12 APOSTLES AND CROWD FOR JOHN 6
In order to replicate the 20,000 ( man, woman and children's ) present to The Multiplication of Loaves and Fish and to Bread of Life discourse hold by Jesus, we had to build in 3D this computer generate assets since we could not hire 20,000 extras.
Frequent Question...
CAN IT BE DONE WITH A.I. AND LOWER THE COST?
As now ...No, it can not be done in AI because we need to have a continuity that AI can not replicate in multitude of shots and different camera angles. Nor it can be done with regular computers that the artist have, because they need to be super-powerful NVIDIA graphic cards nor we can render videos on the iCloud since it CAN NOT HANDLE to render all the details of the polygons each 3D elements have at that HIGH RESOLUTION FOR A BIG SCREEN MOVIE THEATER, and to rent a facility that has those computers is extremely expensive.
In the world of AI and digital effects, many assume that 'typing a prompt' is easy. But true Art is a science. When we input directions into an AI, the results are inconsistent; even a minor change in phrasing can create a scene that no longer matches the one before it.
Furthermore, each attempt carries a different cost depending on the resolution. We cannot simply 'test' ideas in low resolution and then switch to high resolution later—the 'look' changes entirely. This creates a cycle of expensive gambling that we refuse to engage in with your donations. We have proven that we are wise and responsible with every penny entrusted to us, and we will not waste your sacrifice on guesswork. We are committed to achieving the ideal shot the right way, the first time.
Thats why we need do it with Computer Animation and thats why we seek $3M and your help to reach that goal. At the bottom of this page we have a full Budget Brake-down.
We had to recreate in 3D the location where Jesus did the Bread of Life discourse in order to place the 3D crowd characters and to do some sophisticated camera movements. Can you immagine the amount of polygones each plants and rocks has in such a big environment and how long it would be able to render in? With high Tec computers it will take a week with regular computers it would crash after a month of rendering time.
We also recreate in 3D six of the apostles ( due to the budget we wad, but we hope to do the remaining ones) and Jesus in order to do some some extremely hard camera angles in the Walking on Water scene and the Bread of Life discourse.
Here a basic sample to show how well we can intagrate the 3D model to a scene when is full rendered.
We recreate a perfect 3D replica of the boat we rented from "The Chosen" TV show that we used from our filming, we had also rigged it and start to do some test for rain and water preparing this assets for when we will reach our $3 Million goal to quickly and wisely so we will be able to finish this scene in a fastest and at the lowest cost. Create in 3D with Special effect Waves and rain and the collition point to the boat and eventually the apostles is a really hard and expensive task that requares few months of hard work but its essential to be able to entertain young audience and aloud the movie to have strong visuals.
Which Eucharistic miracle changed your life? Tell me in the comments so I can see which ones to emphasize in the final cut!
WE IMPROVED OUR SKILLS & CONNECTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY:
We had to focus on creating new contacts, a new strategy to find new possible donors, and in the meantime our Director had to work on new feature films like the NUMBER ONE BOX OFFICE “David" Movie that grossed over $80 million with Angel Studio.
and the upcoming “Resurrection Film” ( where he was the Story lead for the hole movie) by well known Catholic Directors & Producers and as Head of Story and Production Designer / Art Director for the new upcoming “Zero A.D. “ Feature film with Jim Cavieze.
and also collaborating as Artistic Director with a big Catholic Production Company connected with all churches in the United States. Working with them will greatly increase our contacts when the movie will be out and as well it could bring some fresh outlook and new ideas on how to raise the remaining $3 million to finish this fantastic film " The New Manna".
God’s hand was evident throughout these past years, we filmed with just $600K what big studios spend over $15M/$20M, and we edited all the Bible re-enactments. These are not our words, but Marvel & Disney are highly ranked employers. All of them looking through our edited footage thought it took us over 6 months filming but we did it in just 15 filming days, and we trust that God has blessed our film. The journey to complete it is not over yet, but we are committed to doing everything we can to bring it to fruition. We still need to raise funds to finish filming the:
WE NEED $3 MILLION DOLLAR TO FINISH THIS PART OF THE FILM:
MODERN-DAY PROTAGONIST portion of our film, while we continue the editing and storyboard process.
SPECIAL EFFECT scene where Jesus walks on water and create believable waves to match the one we have on our film, and we will need to add hundreds of COMPUTER GENERATED extras to match the biblical belief that almost, "many" ( 5,000+ man) of Jesus' disciples left Him and no longer accompanied Him after His teaching on the "Bread of Life" according to John 6:66.
Re- recreate in CG MEDICAL ANIMATION all the main Eucharistic miracles to illustrate the medical documents accurately. Films have the power to cast a large net, and as Catholics, it’s time we start casting them wide ( the picture below is what we can achieve with our $3M budget).
WE ARE GROWING to MAKE A STRONGER PRESENCE ONLINE
We have also reached out to a few online platforms with over 36.7 million constant viewers that accepted to promote our film online for a small fee of over $180 and had a single post reach out to 300,840 viewers. If you want to donate specifically for this please feel free to leave a message on the donation option.
We have now 10,000 followers. This milestone often acts as a significant threshold on social media, unlocking monetization tools, providing "social proof," and increasing engagement rates. It represents a shift from a beginner to a established creator, enabling features like link sharing or joining creator funds.
And in the future, we will hope to invest part of our donations into this type of platforms to reach a higher number of followers and create a momentum, so that when the movie is out it will be making the promotion much easier, many studios have also adopted this type of approach for their production.
Venerable Fulton Sheen’s famous quote, "Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left". We need your help, we can not finish this movie withought you.
HOW WE GOING TO USE THE $3 MILLION?
This is a Budget overview. A full Brake-down of the expenses that we will face in order to finish this movie:
This the cost of the St Ignatius and St Tarcisius essential part of the story toclose the circle between the 2 Famouse Martyrs for Christ in the Eucharist
This the cost of the Actors that will play the part of the characters on our Modern Time Story & Some inserts on the Bible Re-Enactments
Here are the further disection of the Cost by Departments:
