We are about to send out our press release, but we wanted our blog followers to be the first to read it. So here's to you Cloud Ten fans.. appreciate you following our blog.
Here is the release we are about to well.. release.
July 20, 2009. Cloud Ten Pictures Inc., the Christian film production and distribution house behind the LEFT BEHIND film series, has recently acquired the all media distribution rights to THE RIVER WITHIN,
produced and directed by Zac Heath.
Well known for its end times thrillers, such as The LEFT BEHIND and APOCALYPSE film series, Cloud Ten has recently increased its presence as a distributor of independently produced Christian films and television programs, such as THE GENIUS CLUB (Stephen Baldwin, Tom Sizemore, Tricia Helfer), TREASURE BLIND and the INSPIRED AMBITION TV series.
“Cloud Ten’s mission is to provide quality Christian-themed entertainment to an audience eager for inspirational content,” explains Cloud Ten's CEO, André van Heerden. He adds, “we believe THE RIVER WITHIN is a great film, with a great story about finding your path in life and we're excited to distribute it to the world.”
THE RIVER WITHIN ambitiously tackles some of life’s largest questions. Protagonist Jason returns home from law school in search of a quiet place to study for his upcoming bar exam, but is pressured into becoming a youth pastor. Suddenly his world, and his presumed place in it, are turned upside down and he finds himself haunted by the question: 'What am I doing here?' THE RIVER WITHIN explores relationships between father and son, pastor and congregant, and God and man; and broaches head-on the age-old human dilemma of discerning God’s plan for each of us.
For his part, writer/director Zac Heath is excited that his film will have the opportunity to share its message with a greater audience through Cloud Ten’s distribution. “God was with us through every step making this movie, providing strength, peace, confidence and inspiration,” recounts Heath, and “it is that sense of peace and purpose that I hope audiences will take from the film.”
THE RIVER WITHIN has already enjoyed a limited, but successful, theatrical run. On its opening weekend, the film ranked fifth in the United States in per screen gross revenues, and broke records in every theater it played, beating out Hollywood blockbusters such as THE DARK KNIGHT. Cloud Ten plans to release the inspirational tale via its Church Cinemas program in October, on DVD in November and television and in foreign markets. THE RIVER WITHIN will be distributed domestically on DVD to the secular and Christian markets through E1 Entertainment (www.e1distribution.com), and to all other markets directly by Cloud Ten Pictures.
