Review Spotlight: Praising Br. Jonas’ Engaging Writing Style: A Tale of the War of the Roses--Grisly Grisell Industrious Family's Catholic Illustrated Classics

 IMAGE Alt Text

I wanted to share a sweet review we received recently:

“Our 11-year-old was glued to the book. Wouldn’t put it down for three days!”

That’s the kind of reaction that makes all the work worthwhile. Br. Jonas’ writing style is truly a gift—clear, engaging, and accessible for young readers without sacrificing the depth of Charlotte M. Yonge’s original story. His chapter endings always leave you wanting just a little more, which is why children read through this book so quickly!

This abridged edition of Grisly Grisell really does bring the story to life in a way that readers of all ages can enjoy. If you’re looking for something wholesome, uplifting, and beautifully written for your children or grandchildren…

Thanks to the help of Br. Jonas and illustrator Bernadette Shields, this beautiful, hardbound book tells the story of Grisell Dacre, a young girl growing up during England's Civil War.

🎉 Help Us Wish Mary Bowen a Happy Birthday! 🎉

 IMAGE Alt Text

Today we’re celebrating Mary Bowen—our very own filmmaker, actress, and all-around creative force! Many of you know Mary from her work behind the camera, but this fall she stepped in front of it to play Sister Blandina Segale in our upcoming movie End of the Santa Fe Trail.

If you’ve never heard of Sister Blandina, she was a real Catholic hero of the American West—courageous, charitable, and known for stepping right into danger to stand up for right. Mary loved bringing her story to life, and we can’t wait for you to see the film when it releases this December!

To mark the occasion (and because we love fun little keepsakes), we’ve also created a deck of playing cards inspired by the movie. Billy the Kid even makes an appearance on the cards—fitting, since the Wild West and card games go hand in hand. These make a great stocking stuffer for any Industrious Family Films fan or anyone who enjoys a good game night.

If you’d like to grab a pack, you can check them out here:👉Get your cards here
Thanks for celebrating Mary with us—and stay tuned for more updates as End of the Santa Fe Trail gets closer to release!

Give the Gift of Catholic History This Christmas

 IMAGE Alt Text

If you’re looking for a great Christmas gift—one that shares real historical events and highlights the heroes of our Faith—our HISTORY Double Feature is a great choice for family movie night. And with Christmas quickly approaching, now is the best time to order to be sure it arrives in time for gifting.

This DVD includes two of our history-based films: "Max & Carlota" and "Pelayo". Both offer simple, story-focused retellings of important moments in Catholic history.

"Max & Carlota" tells the story of Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota as they take on the challenge of leading the Second Mexican Empire. Their hopes for the future quickly turn into a struggle for survival as political tensions rise and they find themselves separated—Carlota seeking support in Europe while Maximilian faces conflict in his new home.

"Pelayo" brings viewers to 8th-century Spain where Pelayo and a small band of 300 men stand firm against the invading Moors. Their determination to protect their homeland of Spain and preserve their Christian culture makes this an engaging introduction to the beginning of the Reconquista.

Together, these films create a simple, enjoyable double feature for families who appreciate clean entertainment rooted in real history.

🎁Order your DVD now to ensure it arrives before Christmas!

Share stories of history, faith, and courage with the HISTORY Double Feature—a thoughtful gift for the season.

FABIOLA September Shoot – Complete!

 IMAGE Alt Text

We did it! After months of preparation, travel, and long days on set, our September shoot successfully wrapped—and it’s all thanks to you.

Over the course of several days, we filmed in breathtaking locations:

The Sand Dunes, where stunning visuals brought a key scene to life (despite the wind!).The live interview on A Catholic Take with Joe McClane, which gave us a chance to share our mission in real time.The remote cave, reached by 15 miles of rough road, which became the perfect setting for our scenes with Joe McClane and Kaleb McConner.Each day was filled with challenges, joy, prayer, and unforgettable moments. From praying the Rosary together on the bus to watching the cast give their all in every performance, this shoot reminded us why we’re making this film in the first place: to tell an inspiring Catholic story that moves hearts.

We could not have done this without you. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial support made these two scenes possible. You are truly an invaluable part of this film.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep building momentum. Investment opportunities are still open, which means you can own part of FABIOLA and continue helping us bring this project to the screen.

Thank you for believing in us and for helping Catholic filmmaking thrive. We’re honored to have you on this journey.

A Day With Joe McClane: Actor, Former Marine, Catholic Radio Personality, Our Friend — and a “Regular Joe”

 IMAGE Alt Text

It was a great privilege to meet Joe McClane. For me, Producer Kathleen, it really was like meeting a celebrity. I was even shaking a little when we first met. Of course this feeling wore off quickly as he really is a “regular Joe”. Mr. McClane is a talented entertainer. He was natural in his line delivery for the scene and while making a promotional video for the FABIOLA movie.

Faustina told me that she was a little nervous having a radio talk show host take her for a drive out on the dunes. Then she remembered that Mr. McClane had been a Marine and she was quite at ease. His skills in the military also came in handy as he guided Francis Thomas’ rental car through the back country where we were basically rock crawling out of the cave area.

It was also really cool having Mr. McClane lead our rosaries once over the mega phone and then again over walkie talkies. He prayed with a nice cadence and didn’t do group lead which I liked because I am a Trad.

He also had a great radio voice for leading.

Francis Thomas and I were so lucky to get to have had the opportunity to have a six hour car ride which allowed for a long conversation with Mr. McClane in which he answered every single question that we asked. It really was great!

My favorite memories of Mr. McClane however are two. First, he was such a hoot when he was staying in character and “telling” us all what happened to Eurotas in between takes. My second favorite memory is how great he looked in his costume riding a UTV.

Thank you for taking the time to come and hang out with us in Idaho, Joe. We’ll have to take you elk hunting the next time you are out!

🎨✨ Bringing Heartcolor to FABIOLA

 IMAGE Alt Text

Our colorist, Aaron Kessler, has been working tirelessly to revive the beauty of classic technicolor films. He calls his unique style Heartcolor—and we’re thrilled to bring this look to FABIOLA.

Aaron developed a custom “LUT” that lets us preview how scenes will look once fully colored—right as we’re filming. It’s a game-changer, and it gives us a glimpse at the rich, timeless beauty we’re aiming for.

How We Built a $40 Light Diffuser for Our Desert Shoot

 IMAGE Alt Text

Since we were filming a scene in the desert, we knew we were going to have to invest in some equipment to help control the sun light. Mary was looking into getting a light diffuser kit but after a few YouTube videos, we found something that we could make for a fraction of the cost of the new one. Mary and Faustina headed over to the hardware store and purchased some PVC pipe and elbow pieces. We then assembled a frame that could be taken apart easily and stored in three foot pieces.

Assembled, the frame shades a 6x6 area. Mary cut and sewed a painting drop cloth to fit tightly and could be stretched to fill the frame. We were a little worried that the drop cloth might block too much light but it was what was recommended in the video. We got some sheer fabric and had it on hand too, just in case. We already had the backdrop stands so we just made a way for the frame to attach to the heads. And we can adjust it depending on how the sun is positioned! And the whole thing only cost us $40!

Riding with Francis Thomas: Versatile Driving, Great Conversations, and FABIOLA Filmmaking Fun! 🎥✨

 IMAGE Alt Text

I had such a great time at the Fabiola desert shoots with Francis Thomas. He is a very mild and gentlemanlike man.

I, Producer Kathleen, wasn’t too sure about his driving skills as the young ladies who helped as caterers told me he drove 20 miles over the speed limit on their trip from the airport. I thought surely they were exaggerating because the speed limit is 80 miles per hour in that part of Idaho. When I told them that, their eyes got big and they shook their head in the affirmative so as to tell me he was indeed pushing 100 miles per hour. He also got a UTV a bit stuck in a sand dune but it was nothing too serious as the men were able to easily dig it out.

So the next day, I was a little apprehensive when I was assigned to his car. We drove 3 plus hours to a cave in the middle of cattle country near Twin Falls, ID. Let me tell you, Francis Thomas is an excellent driver! Although I am a notoriously nervous passenger I enjoyed the trip due to Francis Thomas’ confident driving skills accompanied by the great conversation between him and Joe McClane. Francis Thomas used his phone as a GPS very discretely, he drove 92 mph on the interstate and 10 mph while off-roading proving to me that he definitely knows how to handle a car.

It also was a pleasure to watch Francis Thomas direct a promo video for Fabiola. He had very good control over the room and even politely hushed me once while he was directing.

Nice work, Francis! I really enjoyed getting to know you and hope this is just the beginning of your collaborating with Industrious Family Films!

Breaking Down the FABIOLA Desert Scene—Shot by Shot

 IMAGE Alt Text

After gathering some popular desert films and analyzing their camera angles to decide which ones we’d like to incorporate into our scene, we broke the scene down line by line, frame by frame. Going through this process helped us see how Hollywood might film it—and gave us a clearer picture of what we wanted the scene to look like.

After sketching out this rough plan, we began to map out a personalized setup—where characters stand, camera is placed, and so on. We first used this storyboarding technique when we filmed the prison scene. It made filming go much smoother—not only did we avoid shooting unnecessary footage, but we also planned ahead for those key shots we really wanted.

Looking for a Christmas gift that invites the receiver to dive a little deeper into their faith? Our most popular holiday gift is the Outlaws of Ravenhurst DVD — and for good reason!

Bringing Cardinal Wiseman’s Vision to Life: Filming FABIOLA at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes

 IMAGE Alt Text

FABIOLA can be an intimidating project because we know viewers have high expectations. Cardinal Wiseman’s 1850s novel takes readers on a vivid adventure, exploring human nature through unforgettable characters and timeless moral struggles. Those who have read Fabiola are deeply attached to its people and places — they expect St. Sebastian to be Wiseman’s noble saint, Fabius’ villa to radiate Roman luxury, and Fulvius and Eurotas to get lost in a real desert.

That’s why it meant so much when our theological consultant called to say our chosen location was perfect. Filming the desert scenes near Yellowstone captured the majesty and depth of Wiseman’s vision.

Because of your generosity, we were able to bring our actors to this stunning Idaho landscape to film a scene that feels alive.

But this is only the beginning. There’s still a long way to go before FABIOLA is ready to share with the world.

💛 Join the movement and help us finish this film by joining our #Give10 campaign — contribute just $10 and share it with ten of your friends. Small gifts make a real impact when we work together.

👉 Contribute to FABIOLA today and become part of this mission to bring the early Church to life on screen.

Together, we as Catholics are changing the culture — one story, one scene, and one #Give10 gift at a time.

New Release on Industrious Family Theater: The War of the Vendee

We’re thrilled to announce a landmark addition to Industrious Family Theater: The War of the Vendee!

This remarkable film from Navis Pictures holds a special place in Catholic independent filmmaking history. It is most notable for inspiring a new wave of young Catholic filmmakers—including us here at Industrious Family Films. In many ways, the independent Catholic film movement as we know it today owes its momentum to the trailblazing work of director Jim Morlino, whose vision helped bring forgotten Catholic stories to the screen.

Set in 1793, The War of the Vendee tells the inspiring story of a small band of French peasants and nobles who rise up for God and king against the horrors of the French Revolution. Facing persecution, oppression, and even genocide, they fight not only for their king but above all for their Catholic Faith. Their six-year struggle led to countless martyrdoms but ultimately secured the right to true religion in France.

More than a historical retelling, this film is a powerful reminder of the saints and martyrs who have defended the Faith in history before us showing us the way to fight for the rights of God no matter the cost.

The War of the Vendee is now streaming on Industrious Family Theater. Subscribe today and experience one of the films that helped spark the Catholic filmmaking movement!

Watch "The Martyrdoms of Sts. Cyprian and Justina" for All Saints’ Day

As we celebrate All Saints’ Day, it’s the perfect time to remember the martyrs' stories of conversion, grace, and courage. Few stories capture these themes as powerfully as "The Martyrdoms of Sts. Cyprian and Justina", a short film cynow streaming on Industrious Family Theater.

Cyprian was consecrated to the devil from birth and spends his life serving the devil, casting spells to achieve his ends. Hired by a Roman noble to bewitch a young Christian woman, Justina, Cyprian uses every dark art at his disposal to force her love. But Justina arms herself with prayer, fasting, and mortification—and the powers of Satan crumbled before her faith.

Confronted with God’s undeniable strength, Cyprian converts alongside the nobleman he once served. In time, both Cyprian and Justina are arrested under Diocletian’s persecution and give their lives as martyrs.

Their story reminds us that no soul is too far gone, no sinner too lost, for the grace of God to redeem. This All Saints’ Day, take inspiration from these martyrs who show us the power of faith, repentance, and ultimate sacrifice.

Stream "The Martyrdoms of Sts. Cyprian and Justina" now on Industrious Family Theater.
