Grangeville, Idaho - October 17th, 2024
Industrious Family Film’s released a scene from the upcoming film, Fabiola. The studio showcased their plans for the style and feel of the full length film. Industrious Family Films invites viewers to watch it themselves and share in telling this powerful story of the Church during the time of the catacombs.
Fabiola follows a pagan Roman noblewoman who inadvertently surrounds herself with Christians of all classes—slaves, beggars, praetorians, and even school boys who all uphold their faith in the face of torture and death, challenging her to choose between her blissfully ignorant pampered existence or the austere life of the Christians she admires.
Fans are already praising this scene from the 140 minute movie. It has had over 2200 views on YouTube.com during the first few days after the premiere.
The story of Fabiola is relevant for today because it:
- Speaks to those in the Church fearing probable future persecution
- Shows the human struggles of early Church martyrs
- Makes a religious story relatable with inspiring, suspenseful, stirring, and humorous elements
The scene leading up to St. Agnes’ martyrdom has been highly praised leaving Fr. Moylan the movie’s theological consultant opining, “I was honestly impressed and moved. If the entire Fabiola movie is made with the same caliber of quality, I will be blown away!"
Others are saying:
“The acting is exceptional. The storyline is compelling, and the motivation behind it is truly commendable. It's clear that this film has the potential to make a significant impact on its audience.” -Catholic author James Fitzhenry
“Wow! The sound--excellent! The costumes--convincing and detailed. Kate has the perfect face for Agnes. Lovey looks like she's the book character Fabiola come to life. She really exuded the pride and the skepticism so well. She's going to be a fantastic Fabiola…Kate has the innocent face for the young virgin (St. Agnes).”
“As a lifelong fan of the book Fabiola, I am extremely excited to see it brought to film. The actors were terrific. I got chills watching Fulvius. The lighting was amazing…the music was stunning, a sweeping score that reminds me of Kevin Kaska, and the costumes were perfect.”
