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.

Want to be part of telling this moving story? You can help make it happen by contributing or investing today. Be part of the Catholic counterrevolution—help us bring FABIOLA to life!

 IMAGE Alt Text

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!

Outlaws of Ravenhurst was the very first feature film our studio made in 2018. This Catholic historical adventure follows young George Abell, a farmer boy in colonial America who is suddenly swept into the perilous world of Scottish nobility. Claimed by his uncle to become the Protestant Earl of Ravenhurst, George soon discovers a dangerous secret — the Gordon clan remains loyal to the Catholic Faith in a time when true worship was forbidden.

Based on the beloved novel by Sr. M. Imelda Wallace, this film brims with suspense and wholesome excitement, including courageous heroes & clever villains, sword fights & secret passages, and young boy defending his Faith and family

With a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes, Outlaws of Ravenhurst makes a perfect gift for families who love Catholic storytelling and historical adventure. It’s a wonderful way to bring Catholic heritage and heroism into your Christmas season — and support independent Catholic filmmaking at the same time.

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.

If you’d like to take your support to the next level, express interest in investing!

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.

A Post-Apocalyptic Tale with Halloween Vibes: "The EDEN Project"

Movies for Halloween

Not every Halloween watch needs to be filled with ghosts or jump scares—sometimes the setting itself is enough to give you that eerie, haunting vibe perfect for the season. "The EDEN Project", now streaming on Industrious Family Theater, is one of those films.

Set in a frozen, post-apocalyptic ice age, the story follows a girl and her father as they struggle to preserve the last bits of plant life left on earth. Their survival depends on what little resources remain, but as the tension rises, the girl is forced to make a difficult decision: should she obey her father’s instructions, or strike out on her own?

While it’s not a horror film, "The EDEN Project" carries that mysterious, end-of-the-world atmosphere that feels just right for a Halloween viewing. It’s thoughtful, moody, and full of visual storytelling that will keep you intrigued until the very end.

If you’re looking for a film with Halloween atmosphere—without the scares—this is the perfect choice.

Finding the Perfect Location—In the Pages of a Magazine

While flipping through our family’s Bugle magazine one afternoon, a striking photograph caught my eye. The headline read “Name That Elk County,” paired with a challenge: “Can you guess the location? Turn the page to find out.”

The image depicted a beautiful desert landscape—exactly the kind of setting I was searching for. At the time, I assumed I’d need to travel to Arizona or California to find a suitable desert scene for our upcoming shoot. But when I turned the page, I was stunned to see the answer: St. Anthony, Idaho. Not only was it perfect—it was practically in our backyard.

The article mentioned that the area is home to thousands of wintering elk and herds of moose, but for me, the real discovery was the visual potential of this hidden gem. I immediately tore out the page and tucked it into my creative binder, knowing I had just found something special.

Now, looking back after the shoot, I can’t help but feel grateful for that unexpected moment of inspiration. Thanks to a quiet afternoon and an old magazine, we’ve found the perfect filming location—right here in Idaho.

If you’d like to help us bring this story to life, join our #Give10 campaign. By giving just $10 (or even better, $10 monthly), you can help make FABIOLA a reality—an inspiring Catholic film about courage, conversion, and the early Church martyrs.

Celebrate All Saints’ Day with Inspiring Catholic Films

As we prepare for All Saints’ Day, there are many films that bring to life some of the Church’s most courageous and inspiring saints. Each story brings to life the faith, sacrifice, and holiness that the Feast of All Saints calls us to remember. Industrious Family Theater features several independent Catholic films reflecting on the lives of the saints including:

✨ Day of Glory – Witness the heroic sacrifice of St. Philomena, who gave her life rather than betray her vow of virginity or deny her Faith.

All Saints’ Day reminds us of the countless men and women who lived out their Faith, often at great cost, and now rejoice in eternal glory. These films allow us to enter into their stories and be inspired by their lives.

📽️ All four of the films mentioned and others are streaming now on Industrious Family Theater. Celebrate this feast by watching Catholic films that uplift, inspire, and bring the lives of the saints into your home.

Remember the Heroic Priests of the English Persecution with The Longford Fox

Catholic Movies

As we celebrate All Saints’ Day, it’s a fitting time to remember the lives of those who gave everything for the Faith. One of these stories on Industrious Family Theater is the historical drama The Longford Fox.

Although The Longford Fox focuses particularly on the life and escapes of Fr. Brian McHugh of Longford, it truly is a tribute to what every priest went through and sacrificed to bring the sacraments to the faithful in Great Britain in the years that followed the Protestant Revolt.

Disguises, close calls, daring escapes—Fr. McHugh’s story captures the danger and courage of these priests who risked death to provide the sacraments. Their perseverance and faithfulness remind us that sainthood often looks like quiet heroism and steadfast sacrifice in the face of persecution.

This All Saints’ Day, take time to honor the memory of these unsung heroes by watching The Longford Fox. The film inspires us to treasure our Faith and hold fast to the truth, no matter the cost.

Stream The Longford Fox now on Industrious Family Theater!

Remember The Heroic Sacrifice of Those Who Have Gone Before Us This All Saints’ Day with "Day of Glory"

Catholic movies

All Saints’ Day is a time to remember the courage and sacrifice of those who gave everything for Christ. Among these shining examples of faith is St. Philomena, a young Greek princess whose love for Christ was stronger than her fear of death.

In "Day of Glory", her inspiring story is brought vividly to life. When Emperor Diocletian seeks her hand in marriage, Philomena refuses to betray her vow of virginity or her Faith. Her “no” to the world became her “yes” to God—a decision that cost her life but won her eternal crown of glory.

This film not only shares the story of St. Philomena’s martyrdom but also reminds us of the great hope and joy that comes from living out the Faith, even in the face of suffering. It’s the perfect film to watch as we celebrate the Church Triumphant this All Saints’ Day.

Be inspired by the heroic sacrifice of St. Philomena. Watch "Day of Glory"—now streaming on Industrious Family Theater.
