Great BIG SCREEN cinematography, A-grade acting from B-grade actors, superb plot, engaging characters. SEE THIS MOVIE, and take family and friends. If you allow it to do so, it will surprise you--and it may may change you! I just sat through a private screening of The List, and it is a masterpiece!

"Facing the Giants" marketing/publicity was all handled by Provident Films & Sony Pictures, who had taken over the film after being asked for permission to use their music in the film. Regardless, all of these guys are doing their homework and, in Gary's case, really relying on the strength of the film & story to get the word out. I hope you get to see it on the big screen - some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen on film are in this movie. Just incredibly beautiful! Hey Bernie -

While that film never moved to a very wide release, what they learned was definitely used in their grass roots publicity and as they staggered the release of 'Facing the Giants'. Not that that is an important point - both the Hendrick brothers and Gary Wheeler would probably give the glory for their successes to God. 'The List' was an incredible first book by Robert Whitlow with all sorts of faith battles going on. And the locale of the shoot is also the setting of a good deal of the book as well. I hope it does well in the movie theatres and on DVD as well. I really look forward to seeing how the story moves from the pages of a book to the big screen. Thanks so much for keeping us posted on the success it is experiencing!
