The Young Messiah. Faith and Business - YES! They do Mix. Faith-based Movie.

Faith and business do mix.  The Young Messiah is the latest faith-based movie to hit the big screens, and the only one made to-date, focusing on a creative take on the life of a young, Jewish, Jesus.

The Director behind this creative blend of faith and Hollywood-style business is Cyrus Nowrasteh and produced by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Goonies), Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe (The Help).

This film is guaranteed to raise many theological debates as the Bible is pretty silent on Jesus in his young years.  Taken from a primarily Jewish perspective; the Young Messiah is a celebration of the holy family and their journey of faith. Mary is an especially strong character in this film and will appeal to women and mothers. Joseph is treated with great reverence, which is a welcome addition since he is absent from so many films about Jesus. His character will be an inspiration for men and fathers everywhere.

Join me as I chat with Cyrus Nowrasteh about this production.  Be sure to plan to see it at a Theater near you.  The Young Messiah opens nationwide on March 11th,2016.  The official web site is www.theyoungmessiah.com
