ABOUT OUR MOVIE PROJECT

Caught in a catastrophic storm at sea while transporting one of Rome’s most infamous prisoners, a hardened Roman Centurion wrestles between loyalty and belief.

It is the night of July 28th, 64 A.D., the Great Fire of Rome has just come to an end.

Eager to pin the blame on his enemies, the diabolical emperor Nero has just imprisoned the enigmatic figure known as PAUL OF TARSUS; intending to use the fire as an excuse to publicly execute him along with any others associated with Rome’s quickly growing counter-cultural movement known as “The Way.”

Racing against the clock, a former Roman Centurion (JULIUS, late 50s) teams up with one of Paul’s closest companions (LUKE, late 40s) to find out where Paul is being held, before it is too late. But debate breaks out between the two men over what the best course of action is, and what Paul’s ultimate wishes actually are.

As this is happening, they recount the events that led up to now. Namely, their transformational experience with Paul five years ago on a catastrophic voyage across the Mediterranean that shook Julius to his core, confirmed Luke’s deepest beliefs, and altered the lives of all 276 men aboard.

Based on the harrowing and awe-inspiring 1st Century account recorded in Acts 27 & 28.

POWER SOURCE

WHY THIS STORY MATTERS

We believe “The 276” will speak powerfully to Men who are lost —

Men who need their own transformative “shipwreck experience” to meet their Savior.

INSPIRATION

The spark of this Film was birthed in a Men’s Bible study...

We just finished Acts, when one of our leaders asked:

“Who's sensing the movement of the Holy Spirit right now?”

Through the Spirit I received 3 very clear promptings —

1. Create a Movie about the Epic Adventure of Acts 27/28

2. Enlist support from my men's ministry to help Produce it

3. And the scariest for me personally, I would help Fund it!

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Fast forward from that initial calling by the Spirit, and we've accomplished:

◾️ Completed movie script and received our Copyright

◾️ Completed a Story Board for our Movie Teaser Reel

◾️ Participated at the ICVM Conference in Orlando, FL

◾️ Secured initial Capital to launch our Film Company

WHAT's NEXT

Now is the time for us to move from incubation into action!

We attended ICVM (International Christian Visual Media) Storytellers Conference to initially pitch our movie concept, build relationships

and educate ourselves on various film making topics.

We will be attending NRB in Nashville in February where we are looking for Producer & Director attachements and will be pitching studios.

WILL YOU JOIN US?

More than a film project, this is a movement

Would you prayerfully consider joining our epic adventure to tell the untold story of “THE 276”?

You can donate now to help us bring this vision to life and share with others who believe in the power of storytelling to change lives.

Together, we can bring this powerful story of faith, survival, and transformation to the big screen — and to hearts around the world!

TESTIMONIALS

SCRIPT REVIEWS

Really enjoyed the overall message, there was an excellent build up to the end of the story that included some really important messages and perspectives of the characters along the way. Really enjoyed the flashbacks and foreshadowing aspects of the story. Shared great imagery to the characters and balance amongst the script.

Seacoast Church Script Reading Participant

Excellent. It's very engaging in the way it shifts to different parts of the story - past and present - and across the different characters and themes.

I resonanted most to Julius' story of slowly softening towards the Way
