MORE THAN CHAMPIONS We started telling stories of desegregation in the deep South with Sam Oni, the first African student in the all white University of Mercer who entered Macon, Georgia in the 60's. This is a sports film of family, faith and freedom. This moving documentary film is in development entitled, MORE THAN CHAMPIONS. Highlights include Gator Rivers of the Harlem Globetrotters and many who saw first hand Civil Rights being challenged. This film brought a team of experts coming together to launch a series under Jag Gholson, Executive Producer and the Fund Manager for MORE THAN CHAMPIONS. Currently, we are looking for development monies for this entire film franchise. After the documentary, GRP is creating a feature film. This movie and franchise is about racial divides and how basketball helped "bridge some gaps" into a racially prejudiced culture in 1963-69! www.morethanchampions.net
JP KNIGHTS is based on Beth Lambert's amazing book on spiritual warfare, THE HARVESTER CHRONICLES. This reminds our film team of the best selling book THIS PRESENT DARKNESS and is set in historic Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Nestled in a place where the Revolutionary War intersects even with Flight 93 where Todd Beamer said, "Let's role", the armored angels of heaven descend into a small band of teenagers. Visionary leaders from Pennsylvania are joining in this vigil to bring JP KNIGHTS to a reality in an amazing spiritual warfare action thriller. The movie has a new website called www.jpknightsmovie.com and you should check this one out!
SAND IN TUSCANY is an exciting WWII film that is being presented by VERITAS MISSION FILM ASSOCIATION and is the story of a young GI during the Italian military theater campaign in the mid 1940's. James Frederick (Fred) Camp was in the "Blue Devils" of the 88th Infantry Division and the 313th Combat Division fighting against Hitler, Mussolini and the Axis forces. During this time, he met the love of his life, Rosanna Ferretti and during war time, was blown up and buried alive. Nursed back to health, he ended up marrying the beautiful Italian girl and their story is the foundation for the non-profit documentary and the feature film, WAR BRIDE.
VERITAS MISSION FILMS is overseeing the philanthropy in helping provide a fiscal tool for a prosthetic bionic eye for Ellen and beginning a movement for the visually impaired. This great woman of faith and her amazing story will touch all who experience the hope she has for the "family of man". The wonderful people of Kenya, the Muslim community and all those impacted by the bombings are near to Ellen's heart. This is going to be an amazing film. www.veritasmissionfilms.com
SWORDS OF FIRE is an original Civil War historical fiction story originally created by Dr. McAfee when he moved to Franklin, Tennessee. Kevin was inspired by the Battle of Franklin and how the story had been "little known" in Civil War history, almost forgotten. He decided to create a fictional account of "brother against brother" story and embed this concept into a Civil War drama with historical facts as the foundation of this action film. Kevin again asked his friend creative colleague Darrel Campbell to work with him in bringing the unique story to life in a new screenplay. They worked together diligently on Kevin's Civil War epic story regarding the Battle of Franklin, through research and creating a fun popcorn movie! The right financial support is the final step in making this dramatic film as an all star cast is being reviewed and considered.
One of the highlights of our film's franchise development comes from a story brought to you by the creator of MEMORY ROAD, a Texas motor speedway car and cruising show from Executive Producer Scott Buzzell. As a former "crooner" himself playing on studio projects of one hit wonders in the sixties, Scott teamed up with Kevin McAfee to create one of the most potentially profitable films every created, AMERICAN DREAMS. This film in the spirit of an American Graffiti is set in the year of 1963, the split window corvette, the Beatles, Beach Boys and many other amazing "multipliers" combine in a classic comedy, family entertainment film about core values through time travel!
MY JOURNEY TO PARADISE is an amazing story of Dr. Heng Lim, originally a child refugee from Cambodia. Heng risked his life to save his mother and brothers after his father was starved to death from the horrible atrocities during the time of the "Killing Fields". He and his wife braved unimaginable circumstances and overcame huge obstacles when as a child, Heng prayed in the jungle for God to save him, in every way. From his amazing book, Heng and pastors like John Dickey, one of the chaplains of GR PRODUCTIONS and pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma are praying for finances to tell this great story of faith. One more way, this story demonstrates how ordinary people are used in extra-ordinary way. Dr. Lim is now a world renowned nuclear dentist residing in Owasso, Oklahoma.
FEATURE DOCUMENTARIES are such a major part of the future for GR Productions team. In fact, we are looking for stories to tell. Recently we have more films in development. Music Documentaries are also on the horizon coming from Music City and DECODING EARTHS HIDDEN SECRETS by research and former United States Marine, decoder Curtis Wood from Minnesota is directly making a difference in his journey challenging the greatest minds in the world about our planet, climate change are only a few of the future projects to come.

First Let'sDiscover
Our quest for stories to be uniquely told in film continues to be the most challenging goal we carry. The process is exciting and always leads to finding new people and adventures.
Only the faint of heart do not last long, but those who believe and are passionate, stay true to the end game. Themes of family, faith and freedom motivate us. We are patriots, so we believe in our nation's heritage, the faith we have carried since its formation. Missions continue to cause us to reach out to other nations and this is why we have a global footprint which champions equality for all. |
Now let's rollPre-Production
Once we find the right story, the funding is essential to moving as the trail to truth leads. Without fuel for the engine, the plane does not fly, so we invest in working with the entrepreneur heart and spirit to accomplish the goals which are ahead.
We believe the best ideas don't come from one person, but the whole team! We move into our development and production diagnostics. Our staff is guided by a pursuit to find the heart of each story. The screenplay must be completed with real precision by experts who really know story and writing for the masses! This leads to our film shoot. |
Lights, cameraExecution
The most exciting part of any cinematic journey is found in the final production phase! When you get to this final phase, there are 21 department heads ready to move forward with precision.
Casting a real professional group of amazing actors builds the excitement for making what is on "paper" a fantastic film. Real excellence takes hard work. The screenplay remains the real cornerstone of our foundation for what will happen on the screen, through the eyes of our competent film team. When the right story is told well, a movie becomes "ever green" and creates real impact forever. |
