A Christian short film by Bible School students THEN I HEARD
Donation protected
We students of Calvary Bible Institute in Yucca Valley are shooting a short film in January. In today’s visually driven culture, film and media have a profound impact on shaping perspectives and influencing lives. We believe that through the power of storytelling, particularly in a narrative short film, there is tremendous potential to share
the gospel in a compelling and relatable way.
This short film is crafted for both non-believers and Christians who may feel distant from their faith. By utilizing the unique talents and gifts that God has bestowed upon the students of Calvary Bible Institute, we are confident that we can create a powerful and meaningful film, one that speaks directly to this generation and can only be realized through the collaboration of this class.
This film is going to be based on a true life story.
