Dec 4, 2020 Artist Updates, DVD
RevelationMedia Releases Film as a Christmas Family Movie Night Event McKinney, TX – To celebrate the holiday season, RevelationMedia is offering families the opportunity to watch the classic Christmas film THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE free of charge through the end of the year. This film adaptation of the beloved book by Max Lucado can be viewed at www.watchchristmascandle.com. Lucado expressed his excitement in sharing the film with families free of charge, stating, “Christmas is the season every year in which we invite the world to think outside what we expect, and open ourselves up to the possibility of a supernatural surprise.” “It has been a stressful year. I’ve seen people putting up Christmas decorations just to feel better,” shares Steve Cleary, Executive Director of RevelationMedia. “With Christmas looking different this year, families need positive faith-affirming entertainment options. We hope that the gift of THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE will help families enjoy the hope and miracle season, and reinforce the true meaning of Christmas. This is for any family that watches movies together as a tradition, or maybe this is the year they want to start that tradition!” THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE shares the story of the Victorian English village of Gladbury. Legend has it that every 25 years, an angel visits the local candlemaker and touches a single candle, and whoever lights that candle receives a miracle on Christmas eve. But in 1890, at the beginning of the electric age, the legend may meet its end as a young pastor arrives, ready to modernize the community. It is up to the candlemaker to fight to preserve the legacy of the Christmas candle, but when the blessed candle goes missing, can the miracle still happen? Directed by John Stephenson, THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE boasts an all-star cast, including Hans Matheson (SHERLOCK HOLMES, CLASH OF THE TITANS), Samantha Barks (LES MISERABLES), Lesley Manville (PHANTOM THREAD, MALEFICENT), John Hannah (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, THE MUMMY), and marks the big-screen debut of Susan Boyle (Britain’s Got Talent). Throughout 2020, RevelationMedia has brought incredible stories into homes across the world, free of charge.

Commemorate The Tuskegee Airmen’s 75th Anniversary in Select U.S. Movie Theaters March 29th
Mar 22, 2016 DVD
Presented by Fathom Events and Bryton Entertainment, This Event Pays Tribute to America’s First African-American Fighter Pilots from World War II
WATCH THE OFFICIAL TRAILER: https://youtu.be/mPpS993FKQw
(New York, NY) — Fathom Events is partnering with Bryton Entertainment to present In Their Own Words: The Tuskegee Airmen – The 75th Anniversary in select U.S. cinemas for the first time ever on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. local time. This one-night cinema event features emotional interviews, rare photographs, archival footage and computer-generated recreations. Audiences will also experience an exclusive panel discussion captured at the National Air Force Museum with Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. George Hardy, Former Administrator of NASA Col. Fred Gregory, as well as the executive producer Bryan Williams and director Denton Adkinson.
Tickets for In Their Own Words: The Tuskegee Airmen – The 75th Anniversary can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in nearly 200 movie theaters through Fathoms Digital Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).
Sixteen of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first African-American military aviators who flew the skies of the European Theater during World War II, are featured in this powerful event. As African Americans were rejected in their attempts to enlist in World War I, the recruitment, training and combat of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II was a monumental moment not only in American military history, but also in American history as a whole. In Their Own Words: The Tuskegee Airmen – The 75th Anniversary tells the story of how these airmen were some of the first to begin the civil rights movement and have lived long enough to see the changes that continue to resonate today.
Fathom is extremely excited to be working with Bryton Entertainment on this powerful event that honors the Tuskegee Airmen. 2016 marks the 75th anniversary of these amazing fighters and there is no better way to celebrate these men than a documentary and panel discussion, said Fathom Events CEO John Rubey.
The enthusiasm in which the few remaining Tuskegee Airmen reacted to this news has been nothing short of fulfilling. These brave men made one request of us upon lending their story, Never let our story die! We are thrilled to honor that request with Fathom Events on March 29, when this event hits theaters around the country, said Bryan Williams of Bryton Entertainment, LLC.
Civil War Film Union Bound Gets New Release Date
Jan 29, 2016 DVD
Originally scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on February 12th, Union Bound has been pushed back to April 22nd to accommodate more theaters following early screening buzz.
(LOS ANGELES, CA) — The release date for Civil War film Union Bound has been pushed back to April 22nd following positive buzz generated from early screenings. The inspiring film from Uptone Pictures, Moving Box Entertainment and Weathervane Productions and distributed by Hannover House/Medallion Releasing/Universal, is based on the actual diaries of Joseph Hoover, an unlikely survivor of the Underground Railroad.
Union Bound stars Sean Stone (son of famed director Oliver Stone) as real life soldier Joseph Hoover, who receives the help of freed slaves on his journey back to the Union. Directed by Harvey Lowry, Union Bound stars Sean Stone (JFK, Nixon, The Doors), Tank Jones (The Deadliest Gun, Breaking Bad), Randy Wayne (To Save a Life; The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning), Trish Cook (Dude, Wheres My Dog?), Issac C. Singleton (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) and Christian Fortune (New Years Eve). Drew Seeley (High School Musical) also makes a cameo and Wynonna Judds husband Cactus Moser (Wynonna & the Big Noise; Highway 101) recorded the theme song and makes an appearance as a wounded soldier.
This is an amazing true story, more than 150 years in the making, said producer Michael Davis. At a time when there is so much racial division, Union Bound tells the story of three men of different races, different backgrounds and different perspectives, united by a common purpose and fighting together for freedom.
A companion book (WND Books, ISBN: 9781944229252, Paperback, $16.95, 5.5 x 8.25, 272 pages) will be in stores on May 2, 2016.

Little Praise Party started as a collection of songs for my local church to use, says Yancy. Its been amazing to see how God has used those songs in churches and homes around the world.

Hearing children sing Gods praises never gets old, says Yancy. And it gives me chills hearing their sweet little voices sing their love to the Lord. Music is a powerful thing. Its an important tool that we have to use in our homes and churches to plant Biblical truth in the hearts of kids. Its the very reason we started making Little Praise Party music.

“I introduced my kids to Little Praise Party, from Yancy, and its really adorable listening to them sing their songs, said recording artist Jaci Velasquez. “As a mom, my hope and my prayer is that everything that Im putting into my kids is positive and good and encouraging and hopeful. Because whatever goes in, comes out.”
We need to begin the process of passing on our faith and Christian values to our children at an early age, says Yancy. We really cant start too soon. My heart and prayer is that this generation would Taste and See that the Lord is good.
For more than a decade, Yancy has been making music for Christian music fans of all ages. As a songwriter, she has penned songs with Third Day frontman Mac Powell, wrote the Jaci Velasquez hit Something Beautiful and Avalon’s chart-topping I Dont Want To Go.

Daily Audio Bible Invites You to Experience Israel in Vivid Clarity with PROMISED LAND on Blu-ray and DVD
Dec 31, 2014 DVD
Groundbreaking HD Tour of Israel Features Some of the Only Holy Land Aerial Drone Footage Ever Filmed
See the places you’ve imagined and read about in Scripture filmed in vivid high definition from angles never seen before. “Promised Land” immerses you in the stories of the Bible, where they happened, as author and leader of the Daily Audio Bible, Brian Hardin, takes you from the wilderness to the Galilee and out onto the coastal plain before entering the most holy city in the world…Jerusalem. The history and geography of the Bible will come alive as the Scriptures unfold before your eyes.
Says Hardin, “The Biblical locations in Israel have been filmed plenty of times but when we set out to create this project, we didn’t just want to document it – that’s been done. We wanted to capture its beauty and the way it feels to be there. ‘Promised Land’ connects the history and stories to the places where they happened in short, concise vignettes allowing people who might never consider visiting Israel to truly see the beauty of this rich, historic place.”
Tom Doyle, e3 Partners’ Middle East Director and author of the Thomas Nelson best-seller, “Dreams and Visions,” (who has led over 70 trips to Israel) endorsed “Promised Land” following an advance screening: “I must say that I was pretty overwhelmed to see the quality of ‘Promised Land.’ It made me feel like the first time that I journeyed to Israel. After the first two minutes I sat back in my chair and said out loud, ‘They got it! They understand the miracle of Israel. They got it!'”
With over 1.5 million listens monthly and over 70 million downloads, Daily Audio Bible (www.dailyaudiobible.com) is one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the world. Created by Hardin in 2006, Daily Audio Bible is one of the world wide web’s biggest success stories.
