LDS Film Festival gets under way

Impressed | 9:40 a.m. Jan. 17, 2008

My wife and I attended the opening night and saw the full-feature film "Forever Strong" with actors Sean Astin (Rudy; Lord of the Rings), Neal McDonough (Walking Tall), and Sean Faris (Yours, Mine and Ours; Pearl Harbor). It was a very uplifting and encouraging film about a rubgy player learning to be a true team player. Don't miss this film. It will be shown again on Saturday evening at 7:30 pm at the Scera.

My wife and I attended the screening of "Forever Strong" as well. My wife doesn't usually care for sports films, but she said we'll have to buy that one on DVD when it comes out. It was very inspiring.

I know people who mock LDS films with a snobbish (and knee-jerk) reaction. It's too bad that they can't be more open minded than that.

LDS Films are really growing up. Hopefully the marketplace is aware of how things are evolving and will support LDS films so they can continue to grow.

I'm excited to see what else the Film Festival will show.
