Catholic Parish Steps Forward to Produce New Film: "Five Blocks Away”

OK, you gotta love this idea we stumbled across at kickstarter.  The movie's name is Five Blocks Away.  It is being produced by a Catholic Parish.  And they are hoping to release it in 2014.  Simply tremendous.  We at the Culture of Life Review encourage you to support this effort however you can!
See all the details below and go visit the website.

About the Project


This will be the first motion picture produced by a Catholic Parish and will focus on reaching the young adult audience. The future relies on the seeds we plant today and in order to make an impact on that future and lay a path full of hope, it is with great anticipation that Siena Pictures will be pushing for a theatrical release for the “Five Blocks Away” movie in 2014.
 

Synopsis of the Film


Anthony Seton lives the modern definition of the perfect life. Young and handsome, with a successful job and an active social scene, everything that today’s society covets seems well within his grasp. But when a series of circumstances challenges the foundations of that world, he realizes that life as defined by secular truths may not be much of a life at all—and that the real answer is a lot closer than he thinks.
