WHAT IS NEW?
NEW Big Features Films, like " David " - "The Resurrection " - " Zero A.D." are the recent movies our Director work on it and we also worked on New Big Prospects and contacts for Advertising to be more impactful for when the movie will be ready to release.
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 FINISHED FILMING & EDITING ALL BIBLE RE-ENACTMENT SCENES:
As you might have noticed, due to the low donations, since we could not move forward and because we finished all the money we had to edit all the Bible reenactment scenes.
We have over 3 hours of row footage but here are the length of the scene edited 1:52:57:4:
Opening Montage - edited 3:22

Paul's Conversion & 1 Corinthians 11:27 - edited 7:50

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 no up to part with the rest of the movie, thanks to Liz she come to our rescue and giving a FANTASTIC and OUTSTANDING outlook at Jesus hair, as it can show in this frame.
WE IMPROVED OUR SKILLS & CONNECTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY:
We had to focus on create new contacts, 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 Director & Producers and as Head of Story and Production Designer / Art Director for the new upcoming “Zero A.D. “ Feature film with Jim Caviezel,
and also collaborating as Artistic Director with a big Catholic Production Company connected with all churches in the United States. Working with them will increase expediently our contacts when the movie will be out and as well it could bring some fresh outlook and new ideas on how to raising 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. This is not our words, but Marvel & Disney are highly ranked employers. All of them looking through our edited footage thought it took us over 4 to 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:
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.
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 300,000 viewers. If you want donate specifically for this please feel free to leave a message on the donation option.
And in the future, we will hope to invest part of our donations into this type of platform 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.
