City to tackle 1st Feature Film...

Announcing our latest endeavor - THE UNDERGROUND.  Our next big project in the works is a feature length film for theatrical release. In preparation we have just returned from a 14 day excursion to Romania to scout locations, meet production partners and begin to establish a shooting budget for the film.  To summarize the story I submit the following paragraph penned by our newest staff member (who is also writing the sceenplay) Richard Ramsey...

The film we (City on a Hill Productions) are working on here in Romania is about Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand and is based on their autobiographies, In God's Underground and The Pastor's Wife.  They were Jewish converts to Christianity.  He became a Lutheran Minister who brazenly and publicly defied the Post-World War Communist regime that was oppressing his country and persecuting the Church.  As a consequence for this, and the Wurmbrand's "underground church" activities, he was imprisoned for 14 years - three of them in solitary confinement.  His wife was imprisoned for three years, most of which she spent working at the Danube-Black Sea Canal Project in concentration camp-like conditions.  Ultimately, their love for God and one another triumphed over Communist persecution.  

After being ransomed to the West, they set up Voice of the Martyrs - a ministry that aids persecuted Christians across the world.


There are still mountains to move before all of this can become a reality and I ask for your continued prayers as we move forward.
