My Films Now Available Free on Tubi

For years the majority of my films were locked behind streaming paywalls. Now most of them can be found for free on Tubi.

Most of my produced films are faith based. I always found it ridiculous that those films were locked behind the pay wall of a Christian streaming website. The avowed purpose of these films was to reach people for the Lord, yet the only people who could see them were already Christians. I doubt very few, if any, non-Christians subscribed to the PureFlix streaming service. I deal with some of these paradoxes of the faith based film business in my earlier blog Building The Faith Based Ghetto. Check it out.

Well, regardless of the why (money), I am glad to see the films publicly available again for the general public! I am amused to see some of the films have new names: The Encounter Paradise Lost became Paradise Lost The Encounter, and Holyman Undercover became Amish Undercover. There's also new artwork for most of the films.

BROTHER WHITE

2012 · 1 hr 31 min
TV-PG Comedy Drama

An associate pastor at a California mega church becomes a fish out of water when he takes the helm of a modest church in a tough Atlanta neighborhood.

Audio Languages: English
Subtitles: English
Starring: David A.R. White Andrea Logan Anna Margaret Bruce Davison Jackée Harry Brad Heller
Directed by: Brian Herzlinger

I didn't write about the making of this film. It was originally written as a feature length pilot for a one camera comedy cable series for UpTV. However, at the last minute, the production company, which controlled certain aspects of the distribution, had the script rewritten by the director to make the film more of a drama and less of a comedy since Christian comedy doesn't sell. As a result, the final film is neither fish nor fowl. The plot was too corny to sustain the weight of the drama without the leavening of the comedy.

Check out the film: BROTHER WHITE

In Profit: Probably no. I don't think the production company is, but I don't know about the cable network.

MARRIAGE RETREAT

2011 · 1 hr 24 min
TV-G Comedy Romance Drama

Synopsis: A retreat in the mountains for a group of friends winds up putting their marriages under a microscope for a look at how far apart they’ve drifted.

Subtitles: English

Starring: Jeff Fahey David A.R. White Victoria Jackson Anna Zielinski Tommy Blaze Matthew Florida Caroline Choi Leticia Robles Jocelyn Cruz
Directed by: David Christiaan

This film, inspired by the film Couples Retreat, was originally intended to be a broad, goofy faith based comedy. However, much like the previous film Brother White, the production company got cold feet and rewrote the film to de-emphasis the comedy and up the drama since Christian comedy doesn't sell. The result was an unhappy production and difficult post production. I heard star Jeff Fahey was upset when he got to the set because the script was so different. Supposedly he said it was a "bait and switch." God bless him! Personally, I believe I contributed more to the final film as the editor than as a writer.

The director did not use his real name on the final release.

Check out the film: MARRIAGE RETREAT

In Profit: No. Once when I asked the accountant when she thought the film would be in profit, she just laughed in response.

THE ENCOUNTER PARADISE LOST

2012 · 1 hr 50 min
TV-14 Drama

Synopsis: Seven years after the most devastating tsunami in Thailand, six strangers find themselves trapped in a beach resort on the brink of a hurricane.

Subtitles: English

Starring: Bruce Marchiano Gary Daniels David A.R. White Robert Miano Rif Hutton
Directed by: Bobby Smyth

The first Encounter film was the most successful one released by the production company until the God's Not Dead series. A sequel was demanded. Originally, the sequel was going to be a rip-off of The Breakfast Club with Jesus as the instructor discussing issues of faith with the students in detention. However, star David White wanted to flex his action muscles and demanded that the film be about a criminal or a corrupt cop instead. Hence the new approach. The film was shot in Thailand because some members of the production company had shot a previous film there and they wanted to return and see their girlfriends again on an investor's dime. Hence this film, which is elevated by some good performances and scenes.

The director of this film also used an assumed name. Not out of shame. He was a member of the Director's Guild and this was a non-DGA film.

Check out the film: THE ENCOUNTER PARADISE LOST

In Profit: No.

My feature length documentary Sacred Ground: The Battle For Mount Auburn Cemetery should be premiering on Tubi and other AVOD services soon. Here's the trailer:

I hope my other films will soon join them. We're working on a new distribution deal for my first and favorite feature 21 Eyes, now known as Do You See What I See? Here's the teaser:

Now I have to talk to the production company behind my film Open My Eyes. That should be available too. Here's the trailer:

Be sure to check out my memoir The Promise, or the Pros and Cons of Talking with God, published by TouchPoint Press. It is my true story of first faith and first love and how the two became almost fatally intertwined.

Here are some sample chapters of The Promise:

Chapter 1 - A Photograph

Chapter 2 - My Death

Chapter 3 - Childhood

Chapter 4 - Saved!

Chapter 5 - The Promise

Chapter 6 - The Mission

Chapter 7 - Mission Accomplished
Chapter 15 - Quarter To Midnight

Be sure to check out my novel Chapel Street. It tells the story of a young man straddling the line between sanity and madness while battling a demonic entity that has driven his family members to suicide for generations. It was inspired by an actual haunting my family experienced.

You can buy the Kindle and paperback at Amazon and the Nook, paperback and hardcover at Barnes & Noble.
