Got Your Green for St. Paddy's Day?

Saint Patrick's day will be here before you know it and, for me at least, this is the day when I usually have to scrounge my wardrobe to find something that can at least pass for being green enough to avoid being pinched all day.

I can't help myself: I love reds and oranges and blues and don't miss the greens until St. Patrick's day. Then I have a skirt with a leaf on it and am like "look, it's green!" That or a green scrunchie in my hair.

So, if you are like me and have a large Catholic family who aren't about to let you get away with not wearing green on St. Patrick's day, now is the time to assess your wardrobe. Maybe it's time to buy something specifically for the occasion.

Might I suggest Industrious Family's St. Patrick shirt? Not only is this oh! so very green but it also has an inspiring quote from the Irish saint, reminding us that above all St. Patrick was a Catholic bishop. Or perhaps you know or have someone in your family who is named Patrick. Every Patrick I have ever known loves green almost like it's his obligation. This t-shirt makes a perfect gift for such men as it combines the color with their patron saint.

Hop on over to our Catholic gifts store to order your St. Patrick's t-shirt now to get it in time for March 17th!

Why I Love the Character of Lucina by Megan Geier

I have really loved discovering Lucina and everything she represents within the film Fabiola. From the opening scene to the end of the film, she endures immense suffering and remains a humble servant of God through it all.

Her sense of constancy and commitment to Christianity despite her hardships, and the joy she exudes in her daily life is something that has inspired me in my own life. When she loses those she loves, she doesn't crumble, but is strengthened by their witness to the faith.

In each scene she's in, there's a light that seems to be surrounding her that can only be one thing - the light of Jesus.

I'm so excited to step into Lucina's shoes and learn through her example to embrace my own suffering!

This Lent, when you give $10 or more to FABIOLA our team will offer 3 Hail Mary's for you and your intentions. When you give $100 or more, we will offer a Rosary for you. And if you give $500 or more, we will offer a Rosary Novena for you.

Support Catholic Film This Lent

Lent is a time to perform penance and decide what more we can give to God. During this time, we contemplate on Christ's passion and it is easy to see how much He gave for us and so commonly how little we give in return.

So whether you are giving up sweets for Lent or whether you are doing some rigorous fasting, give everything with love this Lent. Another thing that we are asked to do is almsgiving during this period of preparation.

Many people participate in almsgiving by giving more than their usual tithes to their local parish. Others give to charitable causes that assist those less fortunate.

This Lent, give to Catholic filmmaking. The stories told through film have a profound effect on those who experience them. Right now, the media is flooded with stories that have a detrimental effect on our society, especially our youth. Rising out of the ashes of this destruction are many studios who are pushing back by making clean entertainment and entertainment that feeds the soul. But many of these storytellers, well meaning though they are, are not Catholics or do not represent Catholic stories correctly.

Here at Industrious Family Films, we are authentically Catholic. And currently we are raising funds for FABIOLA, a film that tells the true stories of the Roman martyrs in the light of Catholic tradition. This Lent, when you give $10 or more our team will offer 3 Hail Mary's for you and your intentions. When you give $100 or more, we will offer a Rosary for you. And if you give $500 or more, we will offer a Rosary Novena for you.

Catholic cinema is one of the best gifts that we can give to future generations because storytelling is how we hand our heritage on. Give your gift now to have our team offer prayers for you this Lent!

What a $500 Contribution Makes Possible

It's almost cliche now to say "filmmaking is expensive". But it's kind of funny. If I talk to people who are not in the filmmaking industry about FABIOLA's budget, I often get a reaction of disbelief and a "what are you going to do with it all?"

If I talk to film people the budget on the other hand, I hear something along the lines of "Okay. That's a decent budget."

Since I know many of those who crowdfund are not particularly in the filmmaking world, I want to offer a little bit of insight on what budget items each contribution level covers. I'll do a series of these posts to give you a glimpse into what actually needs to be covered in the FABIOLA budget.

Each $500 contribution pays for one of these: - A week’s salary for a lead cast member - A horse costume - A full day of animal talent - One week of car rentals - One airplane ticket for a cast member - Set dressing for a scene

Declan Bowen Is Excited to Perform the Role of Saint Pancratius in FABIOLA!

Declan Bowen here from Industrious Family Films. In our movie FABIOLA, I have been cast in the role of Pancratius. This saint should be the role model of every young boy. As a Roman, he is faithful to the just laws of his country.

As a Christian, he was faithful to his faith, even when it demanded his life. Pancratius' character is energetic and cheerful. I am excited to play this role because I feel like it will help people become more closely united with the early Church martyrs.

If you would like to see this story come to life on the screen, please consider contributing to our LifeFunder campaign or contact us if you want to invest in good Catholic movies.

I Didn’t Plan a Sequel…Until Merry Led Me to WWII

I was very excited when I learned that several people were interested in seeing a continuation of the Merry Anne Bright story. After the short film was released two years ago, I planned on that being the end and just having a short heartwarming Christmas movie and that being that.

Now, I feel a whole realm of possibilities opening up for this story. When I sat down to write the script for the second film in the series, I wasn't really sure where it would take me. Scripts seem to be one of those things that you have to let go and see where they take you.

I'm reminded of the line from Miss Potter when the author tells her friend "I have five stories in my head right now. There's a bunch of pigs running a muck up there!"

I was surprised that my story brought me to WWII front. I don't particularly like World War II stories or films. I can't put my finger on what it is, I think they just all seem the same to me. But there I was, writing a World War II film myself.

Another thing that I really wanted Merry to do in the new film was to still be part of sharing the real meaning of Christmas, but I didn't want it to be too close to the first film. So this time, there were no children involved in the story. In this film, Merry must speak to the heart of a saucy yet curious soldier, bringing him the spirit of Christmas despite the dark surroundings.

Okay, I didn't mean to ramble on so much. Let it stand as a testimony on how excited I am for the film! Right now, I am in the process of raising funds for the film. We have a production budget of just $100, and as you can see in the picture, $60 covers Merry's nurse costume which she is required to wear when she is in the camp. If you would help me cover the cost of this costume, I would really appreciate it! We may have snow in the upcoming weeks and I may still have a chance to film before spring comes.

Give to Merry Anne Bright: Christmas in the Trenches today!

Popular Now at Industrious Family Theater: Grisly Grisell

Grisly Grisell tells the story of Grisell (Abbey Erskine), a young girl who experiences a most unfortunate accident as a child. Living during the Wars of the Roses, she is betrothed to a young boy from the opposite side of the war to mend a feud. While they are both still very young, he attempts to frighten her by lighting a keg of gunpowder near her face.

This does more than frighten poor Grisell and instead causes a great burn scar on her face. The betrothal is broken off and Grisell is forced to go from place to place, always shunned for her outward appearance. But within her heart, Grisell begins to cultivate virtues that are far more attractive than good looks. But can she mend the separation with her once-betrothed created by the accident?

The Dynamic FABIOLA Scene That Mary Bowen Is Anticipating the Most

Naturally I'm looking forward to all the scenes in FABIOLA but when asked what particular scene I'm looking forward to I had to think for a minute.

I think the scene that I am most looking forward to is one of the very first scenes where Fabiola encounters her first dialogue with a Christian. Syra unintentionally appears to be an arrogant slave who believes that she will be exulted as an equal to the most noble after death.

Fabiola decides to challenge the thought but it is Syra who gets the last word if not the last blow. In a fit of rage, Fabiola thrusts a small knife at Syra. Fabiola experiences regret, sorrow and shame but does not know how to express her apologies except by giving Syra a token gift.

The scene has great dynamic, you get to the core of Fabiola’s character right away and it has a “wow” moment when the seemingly sophisticated Roman lady throws a knife at a slave. I cannot wait to see Emily Hawk and Meghan Mullany perform this important scene!

Next Stage for FABIOLA: Making a Trailer

Right now, we are working to raise our crowdfunding goal. While the entire FABIOLA budget is $1.25M, we are projecting to raise just $62,000 in crowdfunding. Between now and Easter, we are planning on raising these funds and we know we can with your help!

What would be our next step if we make this goal? Well first off, this amount would put us into production on our next couple scenes. We would prioritize making scenes that would appear in the trailer. Trailers are so important because they set the tone for the full film. It is the trailer that gives audiences a taste of what the film is actually going to be like.

We've been working on FABIOLA for over 2 years now and in that time we have accomplished a lot. We've gathered the cast and crew, we've laid out plans for sets, we filmed the Pilot scene which made it so that we were able to give you a first glimpse of FABIOLA's heart. This scene also became the catalyst by which we raised the funds to film the desert and cave scenes.

For those of you who have been with us through it all, we feel that it is time to reward you for your support and the trailer will be our gift to you. Thank you for all of your support already. Now it's time for the next phase. When we raise the LifeFunder goal, we will be able to make the trailer.

So give again if you would like to see this come to be soon and don't forget to share the campaign with any friends you think may be interested in seeing the film come to life as well!

Help Tell the Story of the Catacombs When You Give to FABIOLA

FABIOLA is more than a story. It's a statement that Catholics deserve to have their stories told.

Already in the entertainment landscape, we have many Protestant films that attempt to portray the persecutions of the early Christians. We have many films that portray the Roman Empire without referencing Christianity at all. But we have yet to see a film that depicts the well-known stories of the Catholic Roman martyrs. No films about Saint Agnes, Saint Sebastian, or Saint Tarcisius.

The stories of these saints extends beyond their own time which is why we all are familiar with them seventeen hundred years after their deaths. In a new age of storytelling, we cannot let their witness to the Faith be forgotten. It is the courage from our past that teaches us how to face the dangers of our every day lives.

This year, Industrious Family Films has a goal of funding FABIOLA, the film that tells the stories of the martyrs as seen through the eyes of a Roman pagan searching for a higher ideal.

I'd be honored if you would help me in telling this important story. Contribute or express interest in investing today.

Now on Industrious Family Theater: Centurion of Christ

We are very happy to announce a new martyr feature film on Industrious Family Theater!

Set in Imperial Rome, Centurion of Christ follows Adrian, a Roman centurion tasked with destroying the growing Christian movement. His world begins to unravel when his wife embraces Christianity, forcing Adrian to confront questions he has never dared to ask. What is truth? Where does loyalty truly lie? And what is worth sacrificing everything for?

And this story is now streaming on Industrious Family Theater.

Why FABIOLA Must Be Unapologetically Catholic

Cardinal Wiseman wrote FABIOLA in response to a seriously anti-Catholic book that had been written attacking the early Church. We feel that the film should carry this same message.

And so when we were crafting the script we were dedicated to making sure that it was unapologetically Catholic in its portrayal of the Church of the catacombs. When speaking with Protestants, I often get this "Well, of course you would make a movie with Constantine being the hero in the end. He did establish your Church after all."

FABIOLA is a quiet refute against this claim, showing that the early Christians practiced the Catholic Faith long before Constantine legalized it. He didn't establish the Catholic Church - he was baptized by an Arian on his deathbed for crying out loud.

In FABIOLA, you will see the martyrs you know well in a whole new light. The lives of Saint Agnes, Saint Sebastian, Saint Pancratius, and Saint Tarcisius intersect in a religious drama telling a story of sacrifice for the rights of God and His Church. This is the sacrifice which echoes through all ages and always preserves the true Faith. It's the call responded to by the Japanese martyrs, the Vendeans, the Cristeros, and the Catholics all over the world being persecuted today. Let us not let their stories go unheard and the great sacrifice they made be forgotten.

Merry Anne Bright Returns: Preparing to Film the Next Chapter

After the success of my short film Merry Anne Bright, I decided to script another film with the same character. My end goal is to make a series of this story, possibly seven 15-minute films to make a little season.

For this year's short film, I wanted to make sure that the weather cooperated. Strange thing about where we are in Idaho: It doesn't look like winter until after Christmas typically. Sure it's cold and we get a few freezes, but snow and frost don't appear until January.

All of that being said, the second Merry Anne Bright will be being filmed very soon. In fact, all we need is $100 to begin production. That covers all the costumes (I'll be reusing one of them from the last film), props and getting to sets (mostly exterior).

So, I'm getting excited to begin that! If you would like to support the film and help us take that step toward production, please visit our crowdfunding page and contribute there. ($40 buys all the props!)

The Power of a Child Martyr

Saint Agnes plays a pivotal role in the FABIOLA story. As Fabiola's Christian cousin, her example is what makes all the difference when Fabiola is on the brink of conversion.

Times being dangerous, Agnes has concealed her Faith from Fabiola. All Fabiola sees is the outward beauty and virtue of Agnes' life, never knowing Where it stems from. Although much younger than Fabiola, Agnes is her cousin's role model. Fabiola only wishes that she could aspire to the young girl's sanctity.

When Agnes is eventually turned in for being a Christian, her quiet willingness to give even her life rather than abandon her Faith strikes Fabiola. This is the moment Fabiola asks herself the crucial question: Why is Christianity so powerful that a child would give her life rather than abandon it?

Fabiola accepts that it is more than a philosophy, but now she must decide for herself whether or not Christianity is something she wants to embrace.

Blessed Feast of Candlemas!

The feast of Candlemas recalls several things.

Although she need not undergo it, the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Although He did not need to be redeemed, The Presentation of Our Lord in the temple, and a sacrifice of two turtle doves was offered.

And finally, because of the prophecy of Simeon that this child would be the "light of revelation", candles are blessed on this day.

Many different customs are celebrated today all over the world, celebrating Christ, the light of the world, and echoed in the hope that Spring is coming soon, hence the tradition of groundhog day in the US. But don't forget, before it was called Groundhog day, it was called Candlemas.

“If Candlemas Day is clear and bright,Winter will have another bite.If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain,Winter is gone and won’t come again."

The True Story of St. Valentine—Now on a T-Shirt

Saint Valentine's Day is just two weeks away! I'm not gonna lie, I have happy and sad feelings about this feast day. With Candlemas just a little before, to me Saint Valentine's Day means the ending of the winter festivities and celebrations. There is a great build up to Christmas, then we have New Year's and Epiphany. We often celebrate the Bard's birthday in January with a Scottish party and poetry. Then Saint Valentine's Day comes, bringing a close to all the celebrations and usually also heralding the season of Lent.

But this is also a joyous celebration with chocolate gifts and cards celebrating the great saint's love and charity in a time of persecution. Do you know why Saint Valentine is the patron of love?

During his time on this earth, the Roman emperor had forbidden all marriages. This was to make the army strong again by not distracting men by marriage and families. Saint Valentine knew that the Church lives on through the sacrament of matrimony and would not stop performing marriages.

Living in the time of the early Church, he died a martyr's death, showing the highest form of love: giving his life for his only love Christ's Church.

This year, share the true story of this feast with a Saint Valentine t-shirt.

Celebrate the true spirit of St. Valentine with this beautifully designed T-shirt featuring exclusive artwork from Saints Alive Studio. Bold, reverent, and full of heart, this design highlights St. Valentine as he truly was—a courageous priest who gave his life for the Faith.

Printed with vivid, high-quality inks on a soft, durable shirt, this piece is perfect for wearing throughout February or anytime you want to share a message of authentic, sacrificial love. Whether you’re gifting it or adding it to your own wardrobe, it’s a perfect way to express Catholic devotion with style.

From Pagan Rome to Christian Civilization: The Empire’s Fall and Its Legacy

In the time just before and several centuries after the life of Christ, the Romans were the superpower of the world. This civilization is what eventually gave birth to the greatest civilization in the world, the High Middle Ages. But, like a phoenix, it had to fall before this transformation could take place in the world. What was that fall like and can we learn anything from it?

In this article, Becket Bowen explores who the Romans were and the historic fall of the their empire.

Bringing FABIOLA to Life: How We Researched and Built the Characters

When it came time to research the FABIOLA characters, Mary and I went all in. We didn't just write the characters the way that they appeared in the book, saying verbatim what Cardinal Wiseman wrote. Instead, we delved into what was influencing the characters, what their personalities were, and how they would react to given situations.

We became friends with these characters, talked to them, and formed them. And we didn't just do this with the leads, we were also careful to learn more about the less glamorous and not as prominent characters as well. We learned a lot about all of them and can't wait to share them with you when they appear on the screen in the film!

What If Movies Work Like Dreams?

I recently read that our dreams are an outlet where we relax and our minds process what happened the day before. This is partly why they vary in how odd and bizarre they are. (Don't tell me you don't have weird dreams. We all know that everyone does.)

I wonder how connected films are in keeping with the same psychology?

I mean really film is meant to bring the viewer to another place and time. Viewers live vicariously through films. That's what makes movies either hits or flops. If people can actually connect with the characters, the film will be a success.

Maybe this is why films are so powerful. Really they are like a manipulated dream where we experience things that would never happen to us but we get an outlet to experience ourselves differently. And I find that the characters we admire most in film aren't particularly the ones that are the most like us, but the ones who compliment us. That's because we really are imagining ourselves as being in the film.

The amount of enjoying a film (or any art form at this point) comes from where a person is at the time of their life. So today, instead of asking you to support FABIOLA, I want to invite you to do something different. Maybe you are at a time in your life where the FABIOLA story doesn't directly resonate with you. Maybe you want something lighter or something with more action and adventure.

That's totally based on your personality and where you are emotionally. So I wanna share a little secret with you: Industrious Family is currently working on 3 (and a 4th in the works!) films.

Check them out and see if one of them speaks to you on our crowdfunding page!

Finding the Cave: The Unexpected Journey to Wilson Butte

When it came time to film the desert scene, we knew that it would be most cost effective if we also filmed the cave scene as these were the only two scenes that Joe McClane would be needed for. Flying him out once for two scenes instead of out twice for only one scene each time just didn't make sense.

So Mary Bowen began researching caves near the Saint Anthony sand dunes. Problem was most of the accessible caves were covered in graffiti.

That's when Mary Bowen found the Wilson Butte Cave. This beautiful cave was a rock formation caused by volcanic activity thousands of years ago. And...no graffiti.

So this cave became our plan.

Once we were in Saint Anthony's, Producer Matt Bowen looked at the route and began to doubt whether or not the bus could manage it. So a new plan was formed. We would travel in the rental cars we were using to shuttle the actors around.

It was a 3 hour drive to get to the cave and we traveled through the strangest terrain: the Craters of the Moon which looked like a picture out of a space age film. Getting closer to the cave, we left the paved road and entered an open range dirt road (with a few lava rocks sticking out of the road). There were a few times that I was sure we were going to high-center the cars we brought.

I think no one was comfortable enough with each other to dare suggest turning back, but when we finally got to the cave it was all worth it. The cave seemed untouched by humanity and looked like just the sort of place Saint Hilarion may have stayed. A bit large, perhaps, but we were glad to have the space for the camera equipment and crew!

The Actor Who Captured Fulvius’ Transformation in FABIOLA

When we were making Outlaws of Ravenhurst back in 2017 (9 years ago already!), we were very fortunate to have Jonah Lawrence be one of the lead roles. Jonah commanded the frame by being unembarrassed and acting as though he were really in the situation.

When Kaleb McConner auditioned for FABIOLA, we were immediately impressed by the same presence. What stood out most about Kaleb McConner during his audition was how versatile he was. He auditioned for Sebastian, Fulvius and Emperor Maximian.

Each of these roles were distinct and believable, but the audition that blew us all away was when he auditioned as Fulvius in the beginning of the film and the transformed Fulvius at the end of the film. There was a change in his demeanor without a change in the character. It was this performance that landed Kaleb McConner in the lead role for FABIOLA.

Since then, we have been impressed with Kaleb McConner's passion for the film and his many hours dedicated to promoting the film on his social medias while he waits for us to raise enough funding to move into full production.

So, if you want to see more of Kaleb McConner's acting skills as Fulvius, please consider supporting FABIOLA.

A Long-Awaited Trip to the Theater for David

We had such a blast going to the theater last week and watching Angel Studios new release, David. This was a film we had all been anticipating a lot and, let me tell you, it was well worth the wait!

While you may think that a film like this may have either too broad or too narrow of a scope, the filmmakers chose a perfect selection of King David’s life to tell in a satisfying story. I could go on and on about the things I feel like this film accomplished, but Mary has written a review of the film so let me step aside while she expounds on the film’s merits and gives her honest critiques in her full review.

An Overlooked Way to Invest in FABIOLA Without Straining Your Finances

We recently learned something that may end up being our key to success for FABIOLA! People can invest as individuals, which is what we have gotten so far in ways of investments. Another way people can invest is by using a self-directed IRA.

We know that there are a few accredited investors who are happy to support Catholic film, but hesitate to invest because they know that, especially with how things are in the economy right now, they may end up hamstringing themselves if they get their money tied up in an investment and then have a family emergency.

There are many other places that have higher demands on their finances than investing in film. And these things have every right to have more priority.

But what many of these people aren’t thinking about is that, with a self-directed IRA, they may have capital available to them that they don’t ever really think about. And a great use of that capital is investing in things that the holders truly believe in. It isn’t money that could ever be used in charitable giving or in family emergencies. So FABIOLA is the perfect cause to support with these funds.

Do you have an IRA that you are interested in turning into an investment in Catholic film? Learn more here.

An Unexpected Photo Shoot with Fabiola Actress Emily Hawk By Faustina

We had such a fun time having Emily Hawk come down last month to record the tap dance and get a few pictures of her as Fabiola! We worked together last winter and again this winter and I called her up and asked if she wanted to trek back home with me (3 hours south) the following weekend. I was excited and quite surprised at her adventurousness when she quickly said yes.

We had already planned on filming the tap dance for the Christmas Special, but the original plan was for me to film it alone. She adapted quickly to a new plan when I told her I'd rather have the whole crew and the only way that would happen is if we both came down to the studio.

But I had another surprise in store for her. Continue reading...
