censorship, it takes faith to make a faith-based film. (

In the second part (

)of our interview with Christian filmmaker Jason Campbell, we
learn the challenges of getting faith-based movies into homes for
families to watch.
Jason is the founder of JC Films, which has released more than 40
family-friendly films that have starred well-known actors such as
Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo.
But the growing problem of social media and online streaming
censorship is causing issues for the Christian film industry.
Jason relates how his colleague, who he describes as "a great
Christian filmmaker," had his content taken down by YouTube.
"A Christian filmmaker can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars
to create this new YouTube impression, and then you're done when
they cut you off," Jason told Shout Out Patriots (

).
"The big thing is the distribution problem that we're having with
Christian content. If filmmakers don't start getting together
figuring out how to solve this, we're not going to have the
funding to continue making films," he said.
"At the beginning, we were going through Hollywood for equipment
and getting on distribution channels and different platforms,
like Amazon. And we were losing money. People were stealing from
us, and it just wasn't working.
"Now, we can't work through Hollywood anymore.
"So I said, Lord, tell me what to do. The Lord said to buy
everything, own everything, and get the latest camera equipment.
Just go out there and get it and then take away all your films
from Hollywood. Own them directly."
Jason also told Shout Out Patriots (

) about upcoming film awards (think Oscars) for Christian films,
actors and actresses, and producers.
He even took time to shop talk, like explaining the challenges of
plotting film locations.
The ever-presence of barking dogs, traffic, loud lawnmowers, and
noisy neighbors means "shooting on location is very difficult.
It's got its challenges," Jason discloses.
I hope you find the second part (

)of our interview with Jason Campbell entertaining and
intriguing, especially if you ever wanted to get a
behind-the-scenes, nuts-and-bolts glimpse of filmmaking.
