So, I found an interesting Article that relates to this class.  It's an article (written by Andrew Barber, a Christian) about the motivation for making Christian movies.

Basically, he was saying that we suck at it.

And, I agreed with his point.

Barber says that we are making movies with the wrong motives.  For most movie-makers, they simply make movies to convert.  The only goal is that everyone who walked in the theater walks out a Christian.  However, Barber points out that doing this shows that a film maker is making a movie for the atheists in the room.

And, continuing from this, Barber also points out that most of the mainstream Christian films are just fulfilling the Christian fantasy.  I'm not saying that saving people is only a part of our fantasies.  It's the easy resolution of the movies.  In Barber's words:  "These films are meant to assure us that our view of the world is correct. They are evangelical fantasies."  

He suggests that Christian filmmakers attempt to tackle some uglier issues, such as "a pastor, formerly powerful in the Republican Party, coming to terms with his lessening influence?" 

Just some food for thought.  At least for me, it made me reconsider why we should make "Christian" films and how make a better name for ourselves in the "secular" film industry.  

There, you happy with the word count, now, Leeper?
