The little movie that could: Fireproof enjoys three weeks in top ten.

Fireproof, the latest movie by Sherwood Pictures, stayed in the top ten for three solid weeks, with another strong weekend on the books.


Call+Response in theaters now.

CALL+RESPONSE is in theaters now. Celebrity interviews, under-cover footage, and astonishing performances by top musicians — all together to end modern-day slavery. (Ashley Judd, Natasha Bedingfield, Moby, Emmanuel Jal, Cold War Kids, Switchfoot). It is an amazing film — in part, because every dollar at the box office goes to projects to end slavery, sponsored by groups like IJM, Polaris, etc.

Slave traders made more money in 2007 than Google, Starbucks, and Nike combined. 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved today.

C+R won’t be in theaters long. Incredible back story on how the film was made. Everyone giving something. No studio. No distributor. No corporate backing. Non-profit. Just an “open source activism” movement of people doing what they do best for the cause. Standing ovations in cities across the U.S. Don’t miss it.

Check out the site. Buy a ticket. Tell ten friends. Let’s shock the world. Hurry, some cities are already selling out (SF, DC, OC, etc.)
