This April 16-19, there will be a new Christian film festival held at the Horn Creek Conference Center in Westcliffe, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. The festival was created to create a community among Christian filmmakers. Organized by Richard Beattie, there are plans for workshops led by film director Dallas Jenkins, author Jerry Jenkins, producer Gary Wheeler, as well as many other guest speakers.

Sponsored by Envoy Creative Group, the goal is to push Christian filmmakers to "strive to engage the culture and inspire current mainstream to create better and edifying media to inspire, entertain, and influence the culture."

The festival will highlight films and demonstrate a Judeo Christian worldview. Films will be split into categories such as features, documentary, animation and comedy, in short and long formats. Also, there will be divisions in student and professional. For more information, you can e-mail envoymedia@juno.com.
