It's All About Economics
Dear Champions,
A close friend of mine, Darren Moorman, recently released a movie called Unconditional (Unconditionalthemovie.com) on September 21st of this year. It was an excellent movie. It was very touching, well made, and I gave it a 10. If I had to pick the major theme of the movie, then I would say that it was a movie about the importance of fatherhood. It was a movie that I recommend to all of you.
I talked with Darren this past week and asked him how the movie was doing financially. Sadly, it does not look like the movie is going to break even. He explained that he had people that financially backed the movie that were going to back more of them, but they won't back future movies because of the financial hit taken on this one. "It's all about economics," Darren explained. "Hollywood wants to make money. If good people don't go and support good movies, then good movies will simply just go away. If trashy movies make money, then more trashy movies will be made."
The average cost of the commercials during last year's Super Bowl was $3.5 million. Why? Because what we watch and listen to influences our behavior.
Philipians 4:8 says, Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Champions, if you remember, pray that Darren Moorman will be able to produce more uplifting Christian movies. If he does, then consider supporting them. -David Vining
P.S. Hopefully, Unconditional will soon be available on DVD, but I don't think that it can be found at the movie theater anymore.
