Our friend Dan Millican filled in for Joanne at Beliefnet.com and delves into a topic we are VERY interested in at W4F.  That is, “Why Do Christian Movies Have Such a Bad Reputation?”

(EXCERPT)  Christian Cinema, has a lot of growing to do. The number one criticism from Christian and non-Christian’s alike, is that Christian movies are awful. The production value, the writing, the directing, the acting, the editing. And with the mountain of evidence, I don’t dispute this.

What is the essence of filmmaking? Storytelling. Who was the master storyteller? Yeah, so as Christians, we have no excuse but to follow in the footsteps of the person we are choosing to follow as a disciple. Clearly, stories are a way that God communicates with us.

So why do Christian movies have such a bad reputation? Just like the music industry, it takes time for professionals to learn the craft of storytelling and hone their skills. There are a lot of people who completely disregard craft, excusing their laziness for grace–God will gift me to tell this story. While it’s true that He can and has done that, He also talks about excellence in what you do.
