WOW!!!
Thanks for posting this, it really looks like a great movie.
::::::::::::::
In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure. However, an unexpected challenge finds a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field--and off. With God, all things are possible.

" Facing the Giants" opens in theaters around the country on September 29, 2006. It’s a story of faith overcoming adversity; of God working through his people; of his people responding to God’s lead through ever increasing faith and trust. And it’s told by the people who know it best – a local church, whose faith overcame challenges, where God worked through his people, and whose people responded.
Looks like the Lufkin mall will have it as well as the nac theatres. I read an article in Church Production Magazine this weekend about the story behind this movie and it looks like it will be a movie to get behind and support. It also looks like God has been involved from the beginning of this film. This film was shot with a budget of $100,000. The director is Alex Kendrick Pastor of Media Sherwood Baptist Church, Albany, Georgia. The Staff and congregation of the church helped to make this film.
During editing, the Kendricks wanted to make use of the song “Come Together” by Third Day. Stephen approached Provident Music Group for permission to use the music, who initially was inclined to refuse permission for what sounded like a low-quality production. But Provident agreed to view the movie before delivering their decision, and the church shipped them a DVD.
The first person to view the DVD was an assistant, who immediately called Provident’s president and said, “You need to watch this”. The president agreed to give it 10 minutes. He gave it 120, and then called in his staff to watch.
Unbeknownst to the Kendricks, Provident had recently been acquired by Sony, and Provident’s president called the president of Sony Pictures and told him that “they had something Sony needs to see.” Sony had been looking for Christian films to produce, and subsequently offered to distribute Facing the Giants nationally, putting it in 400 theaters to see how it does.
