2009 SAICFF Jubilee Winners Collection on Sale Through January 28
You can tell a lot about the vision of a family by the libraries in the home. And the video library is especially important. Wise Christian parents want wholesome, Christ-exalting films in their DVD libraries. This means fewer, but more carefully selected movies — movies like the carefully selected, award-winning family films from the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.

Press Release: $101,000 Award-Winning Film ‘The Widow’s Might’ Receives Acclaim from Veteran Film Producer
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 23 /Christian Newswire/ — “The Widow’s Might,” a western musical feature film has won the $101,000 ‘Best of Festival Award’ at the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (SAICFF). Also vying for the prestigious award were high profile films including “Fireproof” and “Expelled.”
Geoff Botkin, veteran film producer and SAICFF judge, marked “The Widow’s Might” as a milestone in Christian filmmaking. “‘Widow’s Might’ is a groundbreaking film, even though it is a first feature film from a teenaged director. It is one of the most original high-concept features in recent film history. The story is innovative in ways that can inspire the next generation of filmmakers, many of whom are looking for ways to break out of tired cinematic cliches…”
Botkin also added, “This film attempted and achieved a wholesome family message, illustrating the difficult-to-capture functional family environment. Its message addressed a very complex theological issue which is a defining issue of our generation…”
Audiences at the SAICFF seemed to agree with the SAICFF judges. Attendees at the festival overwhelmingly selected “The Widow’s Might” for the Audience Choice Award, giving the movie more than twice as many votes as the nearest contender. Audiences laughed, cried, and cheered as the film unfolded, ultimately giving three standing ovations at the close of the film.
Young filmmakers John Moore (age 19) and David Heustis (age 20) were surprised at the affirmation they received from festival judges and audiences alike. “We never saw this coming!” said John. “The greatest lesson we have learned at this event over the years is to press on; keep moving forward. Always pursue excellence. The production was very tough; but it brought our families together, and we’re even closer now than ever. I dedicate this award to my father, the most inspiring man I have ever known.”
Information about the release of “The Widow’s Might” will be announced at a future date. To interview the director of “The Widow’s Might,” John Moore, contact Jennifer Langen by e-mail at contact@thewidowscry.com or by phone at 972-452-3708.

History Has Been Made!
"Every film ever made represents more than the story seen on a two-dimensional screen. Films represent a very three-dimensional experience of dozens of artisans who work together in a specific purpose. Their combined effort reflects strong theological motives and cultural beliefs about life. The Widow’s Might represents a rich cultural understanding of the objectives of the SAICFF. The film was made by a young man who worked and planned under the guidance and counsel of his father, and with a deliberate sensitivity to lessons learned at the CFA. The filmmaker involved not only his entire family in the process, but other entire families who worked together with spiritual goals in mind."

An award-winning effort
An Award-Winning Effort
Movie making duo earns top prize at film festival
By Christina Campbell
"In front of the largest audience in the festival's history, local filmmakers John Moore and David Heustis walked away with the single largest film festival prize of $101,000 for winning the Jubilee Award for their film The Widow's Might at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.
“When we knew we would be competing with films like Fireproof, I never thought we would be walking home with best of festival,” Moore said. “To me it was a film I really artistically admired. We are just newbies.”
Moore and Heustis combine together to form HeuMoore Productions, which has produced several short films including Heartstrings, the Audience Choice Award winner at last year’s SAICFF.
In addition to this year’s Jubilee Award, The Widow’s Might was runner-up for Best Feature and ran away with the Audience Choice Award, receiving more than twice the votes of the nearest competitor."

Geoff Botkin On the Significance of The Widow's Might
Geoff Botkin On the Significance of the Grand Prize Best of Festival Winner: The Widow's Might
Widow’s Might is a groundbreaking film, even though it is a first feature film from a teenaged director . It is one of the most original high-concept features in recent film history. The story is innovative in ways that can inspire the next generation of filmmakers, many of whom are looking for ways to break out of tired cinematic clichés, especially the weak theological clichés of the Christian “altar call” movie.
This film attempted and achieved a wholesome family message, illustrating the difficult-to-capture functional family environment. It’s message addressed a very complex theological issue which is a defining issue of our generation: a form of taxation that asserts the state’s presumed authority over God. The clash over sovereignty between man and God is a topic Christian filmmakers will be exploring for decades to come.
The film employed a clever story line to make rich use of complex subplots, including an illustration of the abusive use of media.
Finally, the film used aesthetic elements to set new standards for taste and humor, charting a delightful course for tomorrow’s filmmakers who will make a clean break from patterns of discourse that have taken American culture in the wrong direction for several decades.

The Widow's Might Wins Both $101,000 Best of Festival Award And the Audience Choice Award!
The Widow's Might won the 'Audience Choice' Award, the 'Best of Festival' Award, and runner-up for 'Best Feature Film'. This marks the second year in a row that HeuMoore has come home with the Audience Choice award.
http://www.TheWidowsCry.com
Saturday, January 10'th, 2009. The lights go out. The screen comes to life. A lone cowboy rides onto the massive screen, his white steed shining in the sunlight. A whip cracks, his horse snorts. A title blasts onto the screen: 'The Widow's Might'! It's the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, and this is the premiere of the film.
Over 1300 audience members packed into the Lila Cockrell theater in San Antonio for the premiere, and the mood was absolutely electric. As the next 100 minutes of film unfolded, the audience laughed, cried, and cheered their way through. This was the first time young filmmakers John Moore (19) and David Heustis (20) had viewed their film on the big screen.
When the story closed, and those classic words, 'The End' hit the screen, the audience exploded in an ear bursting standing ovation that even shocked the festival staff. The credits rolled, a bonus scene plays, and the audience sits down for a moment, only to leap to their feet a second time! John and David were a bit more confident in their chances with this response; after a quick question and answer session, the audience returned one more standing ovation that lasted minutes.
The SAICFF presented tough competition this year; features such as Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Fireproof, and The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry were produced by teams with years of experience, and multiple features under their belts. The Widow's Might was HeuMoore's (Heustis and Moore's filmmaking company) first attempt at a feature film; and they were nervous that it wouldn't hold up against more acclaimed projects.
But The Widow's Might held it's own. The Widow's Might left the festival with the Audience Choice award, having more than twice the number of votes as their nearest competitor, and it was also awarded the prestigious 'Best of Festival' Jubilee award, while Fireproof came in as first runner-up. This marks the first time that a Christian film has been awarded the largest cash prize in the United States, and makes the HeuMoore team the youngest team to ever win the 'Best of Festival' award from the SAICFF.
The Widow's Might and the accompanying soundtrack are available for a limited time on Behemoth.com as a digital download, as well on DVD and CD at TheWidowsCry.com.

Praise Pictures Reviews 'The Widow's Might'
"When the lights went down at The San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, it was a packed house. It was the last major showing of the festival, and The Widows Might was due to play in the big theater projected in HD. Tech geeks (like myself) were very excited to see a feature shot on the RED camera projected in all its glory with a 1080HD signal pumping through, and man did it deliver. The film looked fantastic on the screen. That isn't the only place the film delivered, it knocked the audience out of their chair and got them to stand up more than 3 times after the film was over. I have NEVER seen such a response from an audience, the noise was ear busting."

San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival Announces 2009 Jubilee Award Winners
The Widow's Might takes Audience Choice, Runner-Up for Best Feature Film, and the $101,000 Best of Festival Jubilee Award!
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — January 12, 2009 — More than 2,400 participants representing states from Alaska to New York and foreign cities from Cairo to Shanghai were on hand for the presentation of the Jubilee Awards during closing ceremonies at the fifth annual San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, held at the Lila Cockrell Theatre in downtown San Antonio this last weekend.
“Our goal with the Jubilee Awards is to reward the work of Christian filmmakers who have artfully communicated a Christian worldview through their film production,” explained Doug Phillips, founder of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.
“Thanks to aid of a private foundation, we are pleased this year to give the single largest cash prize of any film festival in America, as well as to honor the other fine winners at the 2009 festival.” The “Best of Festival” Jubilee Award — with its $101,000 cash prize — went to The Widow’s Might, a feature length comedy adventure that tells the fictional story of how aspiring filmmakers came to the aid of an elderly widow who faced losing her home due to rising property taxes. The 101-minute film was written and directed by 19-year-old John Moore of Kaufman, Texas, with David Heustis and Jeff Moreland serving as producers.
“We never saw this coming!” said John Moore. “The greatest lesson we have learned at this event over the years is to press on; keep moving forward. Always pursue excellence. The production was very tough; but it brought our families together, and we’re even closer now than ever.... I dedicate this award to my father, the most inspiring man I have ever known.”
In addition to landing the festivals’ top honor in 2009, The Widow’s Might was runner-up for “Best Feature” and came away with the “Audience Choice Award,” receiving more than twice the votes of the closest contender. This marked the third time in four years that a film by HeuMoore Productions was voted as the audience favorite at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.
The top honor in the “Best Feature Film” category was awarded to Fireproof, a film starring Kirk Cameron that explores a firefighter’s struggle to save his failing marriage. Fireproof — which was written, produced, and directed by Alex and Stephen Kendrick of Sherwood Pictures — was the highest-grossing independent film of 2008 with over $33 million in theatre sales, beating out such films as Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona (starring Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz), and Milk, starring Sean Penn. The film also received the runner-up nod for “Best of Festival.”
Stephen Kendrick, who was on hand in the Alamo City to receive the award, noted, “Sherwood Pictures is thrilled that Fireproof has won ‘Best Feature’ at a film festival that not only seeks to honor the pursuit of high production values, but also morally responsible filmmaking.”
The Terri Schiavo Story, a two-part television series that follows the Schindler family’s long and highly emotional struggle to save their daughter’s life, garnered the “Best Documentary” Award. The film, hosted by Joni Eareckson Tada, was directed and produced by Ken Carpenter of Franklin Films. “This festival is a uniquely inspiring event, and I’m a big proponent of the type of film work they are encouraging,” stated Carpenter. “To have been honored with a Jubilee Award was a great conclusion to a fantastic festival experience.”
The top honor in the “Best Dramatic Short” category was awarded to Prodigal Trilogy, a cinematic adaptation of acclaimed solo performer Jason Hildebrand’s monologues based on the Luke 15 parable of Jesus in the Bible.
The “Best Biblical Family” Award went to Binding Faith, an eighteen-minute documentary that chronicles the persecution that Christian missionary and minister, Dr. Ajai Lall, encountered when he sought to share his faith in northern India. Dondra Vaughn, who produced the film, received the award on behalf of the project.
The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry took the top honor for “Best Original Score.” Veteran film producer, Rich Christiano, who directed and produced the full-length feature, praised the film’s composer upon receiving the award: “One of the most important characters in any film is the music. Jasper Randall has done excellent work with his original score of The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry.... [W]e are thankful to have him on our team.”
Thirteen-year-old Peyton Thomas received the “Young Filmmaker’s” Award for Journey of Hope, a nine-minute film which he directed and produced. The film tells the true story of Charles Loring Brace, a young minister who created the Children’s Aid Society to provide safety and love to the children on the streets on New York City.
Noah’s Ark: Thinking Outside the Box — a film featuring Ark specialist Tim Lovett — took the top honor in the “Best Creation” category. The film, produced by Answers in Genesis, applies new research to the contours of the Ark while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the Word of God. Dale Mason, publisher of Answers magazine and Vice President of Communications Division for AiG, commented:
“On behalf of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, we are so very thankful for the vote of confidence that this Jubilee Award represents. Even more than that, we are humbled to be part of what God is doing to propagate the truth of Creation, especially to homeschool families.”
The “Best Treatment” Award — an honor given for the best three-page written condensation of a proposed film, documentary, or TV dramatic production — went to Kevin Powers for his proposed film, Sandtown. The winner received a $1,000 cash prize, a professional script analysis of the finished script based on the winning treatment, and a free copy of Final Draft screenwriting software. Second and third place awards in the “Best Treatment” category went to Chuck Fultz for In Plain Site and Kevin Powers for Elk Valley.
Other winners included: The Widow and the Judge, which garnered the runner-up award in the “Best Dramatic Short” category; and The Full House of Blessing, which took second place in the “Best Documentary” category.
The “Best Trailer” Award, an honor for the trailer that best promoted the festival, went to Jeremiah Warren for Changing Lives.

The Most Exciting Christian Film Event in the World!
Don't miss the Action, in San Antonio, January 5-10!
I sincerely hope you've been made aware of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival; if not, be sure to find out all about them, on the official website.
The SAICFF has the honor of hosting the largest cash prize in the world, as well as being the largest Christian film festival in the world. Aspiring culture-changers, film enthusiasts, and families looking for more from their entertainment, gather together for a power-packed week in San Antonio.
The three days of the film academy (Jan. 5-7) and the three days of the film festival (8-10) are mind-boggling. It's like taking a drink from a fire hose; the amount of teaching and information you receive in such a short period of time is unparalleled.
However, if you are unable to attend, chances are you still want to stay up to date with on the minute updates from the festival. Between all the media producers represented at the festival, many will be keeping their friends and readers updated with photo's, video clips, and minute by minute updates of the awards ceremony on Saturday night.
I'll be trying to keep this blog updated with new photo content every day from both the academy and the festival, but this will certainly not be the only place for great content; so I'm putting together a list of great festival news resources.
Isaac Harris
In previous years, Alex and Brett Harris of TheRebelution.com were the official reporters of the SAICFF, with multiple photo or video posts a day, with interviews, reviews, and news about the festival, including the awards ceremony. This year, they've turned it over to their brother Isaac. With hundreds of daily readers, there is little doubt that TheRebelution will be the #1 source of live festival news, and this year, you can trust Isaac to bring you up to speed on the festival.
Jeremiah Warren
Jeremiah Warren is known for maintaining the 'SaicffSemiSites.com' website, and was a great team member on the set of The Widow's Might, bringing you up to the day behind-the-scenes videos from our production. Jeremiah will be using the 'Twitter' service to provide up to the minute live updates from the festival, Jan 8-10'th. So for twitter members, this is a no-brainer.
Nathaniel Bluedorn
Nathaniel Bluedorn, well known for his website 'TriviumPursuit', is the founder of the 'ChristianFilmmakers.org' community, a tremendous resource for Christians interested in being involved in media. Out of the 800+ member base at CF.org, a goodly number will be attending the SAICFF and Academy. Nathaniel is also a talented photographer, and will be posting these photos to his profile on Facebook.com. If you have a facebook account, definitely go request Nathaniel as your friend, so you can see his updates. Just be sure to let him know that you're adding him for the sake of seeing the festival photos.
ChristianFilmmakers.org
ChristianFilmmakers.org has a huge member base; like I said, 800+. The members of CF.org who will be attending the festival, will be posting photos and updates to the CF.org forums constantly. I would highly recommend checking them out, and sticking around for any interesting stories. After all, no single news source can provide all the details of the festival; but with the hundreds of members that are attending the festival this year, there will be a lot of interesting facts and information posted through the week, and afterwards! Plus, it's a good excuse for you to go sign up and get acquainted with the community.
With all these tremendous resources, there is no need for you to stay in the dark on this spectacular event. If there is still a chance for you to go, by all means, go. I am not exaggerating when I say that the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival has absolutely changed my life, and the lives of all my friends. I suspect it will continue to do so for a great many more people over the coming years.
Ready or Not, San Antonio; Here we Come!!
~ In Christ, John.

Fun With Stereotypes....
Being part of a social stereotype is fun; even more fun, is the insider jokes and social commentary that come with being part of an ever expanding, self-aware group of homeschool families, who all bring a special flavor of stereotypical fun. :-)
Below is a video from YouTube, a brilliant musical snippet playing on the cliches and stereotypes we've all come to know and love. The video is titled, 'The Homeschooler Song'.
