About the Vision

After 35 years in the industry, I’m creating something that gives back to the Lord—short Catholic/Christian films made with excellence, meaning, and heart. This isn’t about preaching. It’s about creating stories that move people, inspire faith, and reflect the truth and beauty of Catholic life.

Lead Me to the Cross,” my first short in this mission, has been selected for multiple international festivals and earned awards for its message and craft. It’s proof that this work matters—and that it resonates.

​​

What's Next

We’re producing a series of shorts rooted in scripture, inspired by real human experiences, and designed to reach the faithful and non-faithful alike with meaningful, cinematic storytelling.

​

Our Mission

Our goal is to produce a series of powerful short films (5–10 minutes each) that reflect the timeless wisdom of Christianity. Rooted in Scripture and Catholic tradition, these films will present biblical truths through compelling, cinematic storytelling designed to stir the heart and spark deeper reflection.

This is modern-day evangelization—a grassroots effort to reach practicing Catholics, non-Catholics, and those who may have grown distant from their faith. Through meaningful stories grounded in real human experience, The 12:10 Projectaims to speak to the seeker, the skeptic, and the soul in need of hope.

We believe beauty, truth, and story still have the power to transform. And now more than ever, the world needs to hear them.
