Praise Pictures was created in May 2007 by Kyle Prohaska & Kevin Michael for one purpose...to reach others for Jesus Christ through film.

The number of hours America sits in front of a TV per year is 250 billion. By the time a teenager graduates from high school, his/her time spent in front of a TV outweighs the amount of time spent in the classroom. That means that the children and teenagers of our society get their education through the media, through cartoons, through reality tv shows, and whatever else is broadcast. By the age of 18, 200,000 violent acts are seen by the average teen from television. Lets face it, we have to do something and fast! We want to put healthy, uplifting, and God glorifying films in the hands of the families of America and the world over. Families should be able to buy a film and not have to prescreen it for their kids. But don't movies cost a lot of money? Don't you need 35mm film, millions of dollars, 1000 people, and a big studio backing you? Not anymore!

Through the advancement of technology in the past 10 years, independant filmmaker's and what they have at their disposal to create has grown exponentially. Countless new type of cameras in a broad range of formats, computers with many different editing application choices and platforms, as well as standardized forms of home entertainment like the DVD, have made the ability to get what's in your head onto the screen easier, and much more cost effective.

We want to use this great opportunity to create movies that preach the gospel and win souls for the Lord. We don't have to give our friends and family over to society by default. With smaller budgets, more is possible now than it ever has been before. Films like Facing The Giants created on a shoestring budget of $100,000, not only was picked up by Provident Films (a division of Sony) for distribution, but was seen by millions of people in the process.

As Christians, our duty is to spread God's word to as many people as possible. So at Praise Pictures we've made it our motto to make Life Changing, Engaging, Impacting, Soul Winning, Christian Edifying, and God Glorifying films for His purpose. Currently we are working on our first feature film STANDING FIRM. Spread the word, visit the site, check out the blog, share the website with others, leave us a comment, donate if you feel led, and above all PRAY FOR US!
