AN IMPORTANT NEW FILM FESTIVAL AIMED AT CRAFTING FILMS OF SIGNIFICANCE

TO BENEFIT CHARITABLE & MINISTRY ORGANIZATIONS

Sponsored by Tennessee Christian Chamber of Commerce, Prelude Pictures, Brentwood Baptist Church, and Palette Productions

Judging will be by industry leaders with Affirm/Sony, casting directors, major actors, and directors.

At this event, respected Entertainment Industry Professionals with decades of experience, known for their involvement in Hollywood blockbusters, will share their insights in master classes on Saturday, August 3rd. These experts have contributed to renowned projects such as "Space Cowboys," "God’s Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness," "Dirty Harry," "Lost in Space," "The Perfect Game," "Black Dog," "Miracles from Heaven," "War Room," “Blind Date,” “Predator,” and "I Can Only Imagine," among many others. Their wealth of experience and knowledge promises invaluable lessons for aspiring filmmakers and storytellers alike. This promises to be an extraordinary weekend that new and aspiring filmmakers will not want to miss. Rarely is such a gathering of professional icons convened together with the sole purpose of sharing their knowledge with new filmmakers. 

Rather than embarking on the creation of a short film based solely on a spur-of-the-moment creative idea, your production team will set its sights on partnering with a biblically rooted ministry or charitable organization that could greatly benefit from a captivating narrative short film. Harnessing the skills and resources entrusted to you by God, you commit to aiding this cause by dedicating your time and equipment to craft a compelling short film specifically tailored to amplify the mission and impact of the selected ministry you partner with. This endeavor seeks to tell a dramatic story, delving deeper than mere news coverage or commercial promotion.

Join the festival on August 2nd and 3rd at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN, for this enriching experience. Opening keynote at the dinner on Aug. 2nd will be the foremost minister, past television executive, state representative and now the Sr. Advisor to the Governor of Tennessee, Reverend John De Berry. 

Registration is now open at www.christiancharityfilmfestival.com, and submissions for shorts are due no later than July 19th, 2024.
