Are Christian Movies the Future for Sharing the Gospel? These Faith-Based Film Executives Think So

Jim Caviezel

Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel ("Passion of Christ") plays a lead role in the recently released film, "Paul, Apostle of Christ," and says he feels called to make Christian films that will be instrumental in sharing Jesus Christ with the world.

"Someday, when I'm gone, this will be passed on. Film will live forever," Caviezel said of his role in the biblical film during the National Religious Broadcaster convention in Nashville, Tennessee.

"Now, it doesn't mean they like it in the time you made it. And I'm reminded of that every time I see 'It's a Wonderful Life.' It was lost, no one ever saw it [then] and now all of a sudden every Christmas [it's a hit]."
