Special Guest Interview Featuring Director Rich Christiano

March 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Houston, TX (Global Press Release) March 5, 2013 – “What makes Christian movies Christian is the combination of the message, the actors and the director. In a true Christian movie there has to be a clear presentation of the message of Christ, there needs to be actors who understand the message at a personal experience level and the director needs to know Jesus Christ and have the skill and passion to deliver the finished product.” Those are the words of Charles Lyons, Ph.D. who co-hosts a most unusual program called “Ask The Pastor” carried weekly on BlogTalkRadio. Dr. Lyons was excited to announce that they will have Rich Christiano, movie writer, director and producer on their program Thursday night March 7th for an interview.

James Simmons is the other member of the co-hosting team of “Ask The Pastor,” and he shares in that excitement. At a recent meeting he stated, “The power of cinema is a recognized tool in communication. Products of almost every type soar in sales after appearing in a movie context. Why then would we question the power of movies to communicate beliefs, personal values and impact behavior?”

Rich Christiano is a man of rare talent, skill and passion for the communicating of the gospel. One of his more recent movies, "Unidentified," deals with the phenomena of Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs. This is a topic that always draws attention but not in the uniquely engaging manner that is found in this movie.  Consider this, when have you encountered the topic from a spiritual realm? When have you experienced the topic presented in a way that includes the possibility of demonic activity and an honest confrontation of the Christian faith and the “Unidentified” issues of life?

Rich Christiano is a successful and recognized American filmmaker, who has directed, produced and written many Christian films. He owns Christiano Film Group, co-founded Five & Two Pictures and founded ChristianMovies.com in 1997.

Although the interview will deal with the recent movie, “Unidentified,” focus will also be addressed to the impact of cinema in communication and impact on society as well as Rich’s newest project that will be released in 2014. The program will be of interest to people with a sense of humor, a passionate heart and an interest in improving their understanding of what makes Christian movies Christian. If you want a fun, challenging and interesting evening, plan on listening to “Ask The Pastor” Thursday night on BlogTalkRadio at 7:30 PM Central Time.
