Filmmaking / Directing : How Do You Approach Religious Material? by Karen "Kay" Ross

How Do You Approach Religious Material?

“There are 250 films on Jesus Christ, 120 films on Moses, 80 about the other prophets, 40 films on Buddha and nine films about Mary, there are none about the life of Lady Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad,” said Ashmere. I'm excited to see diversity in all genres of film, including faith-based.

What do y'all think?

How would you approach these characters? Do you consider the needs of the fans (often a downfall of superhero films)?

Great find, Damian Lloyd! Thanks for sharing!

I thought you were talking about the miracle of Fatima. That would be an interesting movie to see. That was a pretty wild story.

Robert Russo There are two recent films I know linked to Our Lady of Fatima and the miracle of the sun at Fatima Portugal. First one's called The 13th Day back in 2009, the latter's Fatima released last year. The first is a masterpiece and I look forward to gaining the opportunity to see the latest. Andrea Bocelli's song is most prominent.

Here's the trailers to both:

Have a good day and God bless!

It’s only a thought away. Sure, someone is thinking about creating something about Fatima. She’s got some sort of mystery to her. So a matter of time only. :)
