THE PROBLEM

Most Catholic filmmakers try to beat Hollywood at its own game. The result is a compromised team and story with little evangelical punch. The project fails. Impoverished as a result, the Catholic filmmaker goes to Hollywood for work. The pressures to compromise their faith for employment are legion. Not only is the artist’s soul at risk but also the audience’s. There are David’s out there, but they are not equipped to take on the Goliath of Hollywood.

‍

THE POTENTIAL
In the 1500s, the church was rescued from heresies by commissioning Sacred Art. Artists such as Michelangelo, with theologians and patrons focused on evangelization and brought about a magnificent Catholic Restoration. If Catholic filmmakers are well equipped, the same glorious renaissance awaits us. Film is perhaps the most powerful medium in today’s culture and this battleground has to be reclaimed for Christ

THE SOLUTION

Lumen has the experience to transform and empower Catholic filmmakers. Our team has produced more than 10 films and consulted on over 20 film projects. Since 2008 we have also trained over 120 young filmmakers through Catholic film camp. Leveraging these experiences we have created a 7-point process to help artists create motion pictures that transmit the blessing of Jesus Christ to the audience. The Catholic Film Renaissance is underway, but we need your help to advance this mission.
