What Families Like Yours Are Saying Today About Our Wholesome Movies And The Family Fun Being Had On Movie Night
"I was SO VERY impressed with your latest production: Pelayo.
I have been watching your progress and am quite stunned with the astounding improvement covered in each area--screenplay, story line, acting, audio etc...Keep up the amazing work!"
-Elizabeth V., Missouri
My grandchildren were riveted watching Outlaws Of Ravenhurst...I think what appeals to them is the holy themes and knowing that real children were acting. They could appreciate the filmmaking and really entered into the movie. I haven't seen them do this with flashy, modern movies.
-Stacy P., Arizona
My young family and myself all very much enjoyed Grisly Grisell.
The plot themes of steadfast love, true beauty of the heart, and the motivations of sinister characters brought out a deep inquisitiveness in my children. So pleased to enjoy a wholesome story!
-Kathleen M., Idaho
The best part for me as a dad is the message and in particular how hard my son was hit by the importance, the greatness of the Eucharist, and how precious is the Blood of the King of Kings. He was very impressed by the scene where It spilled, and watched literally wide-eyed and open mouthed as the kids discussed how to save It without touching It. He kept talking about this scene from Outlaws of Ravenhurst for two days!
-Diego, Mexico
Very good job with casting, costumes, and sets. Fabulous job scripting Grisly Grisell...The language is surprisingly mature and thought provoking. Very good sense for editing...the movie flows very well.
-Michael, Idaho
We watched Max & Carlota yesterday and we were really impressed by the quality of what you achieved! The clothes, the props - Wow!
We are for sure your newest fans!
-Diego, Mexico
The Outlaws of Ravenhurst story is quite thrilling. IndustriousFamily.com did an excellent job of setting the scene, introducing the characters, telling the story, and building the excitement.
-Mary F., Kansas

Why Making Good Films And Telling Enduring Stories Is An Important Element Of Reclaiming Christian Art
Not long ago, Archbishop Viganó called on Catholics to reclaim and rebuild Christian art, something that has been mostly stolen and destroyed.
The “New Evangelization” is nothing new but actually Catholic Action. Popes all throughout the ages have called on Catholics to practice Catholic Action. We are fulfilling that call by making wholesome entertainment in the moviemaking industry. It's the same effort, we're just using new means.
Good stories allow you to enjoy true family fun while eliminating all the fuss that comes with sanitizing Hollywood productions by watching our always captivating, never preachy movies. The inspiration for these films springs from our deeply rooted Catholic values and beliefs.
Good stories from history come alive in our movies. Children love learning from these heroes of our past.
We're not the only ones creating positive entertainment.
We love movies and want to let you know what other movies we recommend watching. Our family movie guide provides reviews for dozens of good movies for movie night. We also have scoured the internet to bring you independent films produced by other Christian movie makers.
How You Can Make A Movie That's Appeasing Not Only To The Eye But Also The Soul
The Bowen children all participate in movie making.Of course many young people in our audience want to make movies of their own. Our movie production guide teaches you how to make a movie.
This guide takes you step by step through pre-production, production and post production so you and your children can start your own movie project taking family fun to the next level.
Learn how to write a setting that works, how to lift content from books legally, create a project budget, tackle stage fright, and even how to apply a natural makeup look for stage and screen. Once post-production is complete, celebrate your project by throwing an Old-Hollywood-inspired premiere party!
Keep in mind that your first movies do not need to be full length with all the exciting costumes and sets. Start small.
Our first few films were all short films. In addition to our kids' historical shorts, you can watch our shorts about the life of a saint for inspiration on the how simple your first films can be. We are currently expanding a section on comedy where you can view our comedy shorts as well as learn a little grammar.
Our Film Festivals will provide an opportunity for you to submit your films, get a constructive critique on your films, and attend filmmaking workshops!
Attend the first annual Industrious Family Film Festival this May!
