The Widow's Might

The following is taken from www.thewidowscry.com. I found them when I went to www.rebelution.com which is written by Alex and Brett Harris, authors of the book Do Hard Things.

In 2003, HeuMoore productions was unofficially started. A collaboration of two Alaskan teenagers, David HEUstis and JohnMOORE, primarily focusing on short silly videos, was born.

2005 found John and David relocated to Texas, with some upgraded gear. After more experimentation found them very popular at the worlds largest Christian film festival, they began to focus in on developing quality family entertainments.

In 2006 they created the award winning documentary 'A Lifetime of Childlike Faith', which tells the dramatic story of one man's journey in his dream of sharing the gospel with people from all over the world. This success soon found over ten thousand copies of their film in distribution, and they were on the road to bigger and better projects.

2007, HeuMoore Productions found new members added to the team, and their film 'Heartstrings' won both the Best Young Filmmakers award, and the Audience Choice award at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. This was the first time the Audience Choice award had ever been taken by Youth contestants.

They were disappointed though, that their technical quality hadn't grown to nearly the level they had hoped. So in 2008, they launched their biggest effort; The Widow's Might.

The Widow's Might is a full length feature film set in modern day America, following the struggles of several Christian families to keep a widow from losing her home due to tax foreclosure. The Widow's Might is by far HeuMoore's biggest, most intense production. Working with experienced hands like James Burgess (Cinematographer and Colorist on Pilgrim's Progress) and Charles Lake (Assistant Director on Time Changer), we believe ourselves up to the challenge of a theatrical release feature film with excellent production values and rich moral landscapes to inspire Christians accross the nation; But we can only do this with your help!
