We are grateful to the Lord, not merely for the quantity of people who came, but of (far more important than numbers) the quality of men, women, fathers and mothers, and sons and daughters who attended the film festival. More than 1,200 were in attendance for this year’s festival and the world premiere of The League of Grateful Sons, nearly doubling the attendance since last year’s inaugural festival. The majority of those in attendance, including most of our filmmakers, came as families. The spirit of enthusiasm, charity, and encouragement among the attendees — for a conference that involves one of the most powerful, controversial, dangerous, and promising mediums of our generation — is a testimony to the beautiful work of the Holy Spirit in crafting a movement of hope which fearlessly proclaims the lordship of Christ over aesthetics and refuses to either synthesize with paganism or retreat from the battle. May all glory, praise, honor, and adoration go to the Lord Jesus Christ.
