Overview

Currently in pre-production is our 5th film, FABIOLA - a story especially timely as we are surrounded by corruption in our world similar to our early Christian predecessors in third century Rome.

At the present time, we are living in a post-Christian society and we are seeing striking similarities to the pre-Christian society as found in FABIOLA. 

Like the Christians in this film, we are called to be a light in a darkened world and bring the flame of truth to those who have wandered so far from it that they don't even know what it is. 

A hunger is all about us for the truth. Many have tried what the world has to offer and have found emptiness. They feel the absence of God and indulge their other senses to dull the pain.

We have the cure for society's illness and it is through the examples of the martyrs that we can provide it. This is comprised of patient example, firmness in our Faith, and a willingness to sacrifice to preserve it. 

The characters found in FABIOLA pave the way and lead exemplary lives with a will to convert the strongest opposition to Christianity, the heathen Roman Empire.

Cardinal Wiseman was born in Spain in 1802 to Irish emigrants. After his ordination to the priesthood, he would become the president of the English College in Rome. Cardinal Wiseman also became the first Archbishop of Westminster after the Protestant Revolt.

In 1835, he went to England to deliver a course of lectures in London on the teachings of the Catholic Church. His lectures were attended by Protestants and Catholics alike. Cardinal Wiseman made such a deep impression on his non-Catholic hearers that a number of well educated persons whose social position was high were converted to the Faith.

In 1853, Wiseman began to write his most popular book, the historical drama, Fabiola, The Church of the Catacombs. The book was published the following year and its success was immediate and phenomenal. Wiseman wrote Fabiola in part as an answer to the vigorously anti-Catholic book which praised the early pagan era. Fabiola was also intended as a historical and religious aid to Catholics in England.

We feel like the world needs this story for all these reasons still today and that is why we cannot wait to bring this story to life through the modern storytelling medium of film! And with your help, we know we can.
