Special One-Night-Only Movie Event!

“I hope thousands of youth groups will watch this!” says Dr Terry Mortensen of the Answers in Genesis ministry. Pastor Dan Jones of Albany, NY says “Play the Flute is very touching, very inspirational and very truth-filled. I was very impressed by the acting of everyone. Thank you for creating a film worth watching.”

They are both talking about the new movie, Play the Flute, from veteran filmmaker Rich Christiano who also brought us the movies, Time Changer, The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry and A Matter of Faith.

Rich Christiano, along with his twin brother Dave, have been writing, directing, producing and distributing Christian movies since 1985. Their passion for Christ-centered movies is real and they have always aimed to put strong, inspiring and truth filled messages in their movies. Play the Flute is no different.

“I felt very led to produce this film,” Rich said. “And this movie is far more than just for youth. Yes, we would love every young person to see it, but the message to get more serious about our relationship with the LORD is for everyone.”

The great comments just keep coming too. “Play the Flute is fantastic with an incredible message and wonderful story,” says Paul Boge of the Winnipeg Christian Film Festival. "I can barely type this through the tears I have right now. What a powerful film, so relevant to today's world,” says Tammy who is the area director for Child Evangelism in Fresno, CA.

The film has a unique distribution plan as the movie is being released only for public showings, whether in theaters for onenight screenings where no Hollywood trailers are run to distract the viewer, or for showing in local churches. “We plan to keep it going in this manner for quite some time,” Rich says, “perhaps for the next two or three years. Public showings are the most impactful because audiences are captivated and you have their full attention, especially in the theater.”

“My hope is that people will give this movie a chance,” Rich adds. “The church to me just seems to play defense these days. The world does something we don’t like and we complain about it. Let’s play offense by showing films that will inspire people towards the LORD and also shares a passionate gospel as this movie does. We believe we have something special here and that the audience is going to be genuinely touched!”

Play the Flute is the story of a new Youth Pastor (Brett Varvel) who takes over an indifferent youth group to try to motivate his students to read God’s Word and get serious about their relationship with the Lord. The film features an excellent cast including Brett Varvel, Sean Ormond, Kennedy Tucker, and recognizable talent such as Clint Howard, Fred Grandy (Love Boat fame) and Loretta Swit (MASH fame).
