We are honored and humbled by the warm and positive responses we have received about the film from all over the country.

We give all praise and honor to our Lord and Savior, who allowed and enabled us to make His movie for His audience.

Regarding the kissing scene. It’s not strictly about the actors, whether they are married or not (we prefer that they are married, as in the case of Kenny and Karen Jezek who played Don and Judith in CWM). It’s also about the audience “watching” the kiss. Little by little such scenes undermine our purity, and it eventually leads to acceptance of almost anything because “it’s just a movie.”

When we were casting for “Don and Judith” we were in despair because we wanted professional married actors who will kiss tenderly in the movie. But where do you find professional (SAG) actors in Purcellville, Virginia?

So we prayed for a married professional acting team who were also homeschooling parents, had an affinity for teaching young amateur actors, and could work in Virginia for 5 weeks or more. 10 minutes after we prayed, the Lord brought the Jezeks through a phone call 3,000 miles away.

Nothing is too hard for the Lord.

I’ll end here. Again, thank you all so much for your comments. I’ll come back and read some from of this wonderful community of young ladies in Christian fellowship.

Blessings,

I'm a Christian actor, and I know very well the professionalism in acting when you have to kiss your fellow actor. It really IS different than real life. I've kissed many people onstage and it's never hurt my relationships with people I've dated, or my friendship with the actors. To someone who doesn't understand the professionalism that has to happen on stage/film, yes, it would look like "cheating". But to the people who do it as their job, it's not. It sounds like a good film…I’ll have to check it out!

They are creating culture. And with a fraction of the budget, and no federal funding. The world is taking notice. Because they're willing to do what's right. " I'm confused by your use of the word homeschooler...you mean Christians...or at least Christian homeschoolers...because the last time I checked, simply being homeschooled was no indication of the pointing of ones moral compass. “Homeschoolers aren’t just a “sub culture” or even a “counter culture” any more.

I was going to watch the segments they have up, but my computer is dealing with it in an impossibly slow matter... I'll just have to practice the virtue of patience and wait until Monday. I look forward to seeing it! Thanks for calling this to my attention, Gretchen!

I read "God's Harvard" during the summer. It was fascinating to see PHC, homeschoolers, and the church through the eyes of someone who does not get it, and who (along with a lot of other people) is frankly terrified of what homeschoolers will do in politics and culture if they aren't stopped. I had no idea that people were actually scared of homeschoolers and what they can accomplish. I’ll definitely be seeing this movie. I read “God’s Harvard” during the summer.
