Our Team

“ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

2 Corinthians 4:7

We are a team of professionals, volunteers and missionaries united to make Christ known through film. Our operations are out of Natal, Brazil, from which we work to reach primarily regions in the 10/40 window. Our USA 501c3 is based in Sierra Vista, AZ, and we are partners with The Great Commission Foundation in Canada. We work in partnership with film professionals and ministries across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
