Alison's Choice - A Film About Life


3,287 babies died yesterday. What can you do?


   

Much of the pro-life movement focuses on the important task of changing laws.  Others in the pro-life community emphasize communicating information, hoping to change minds.  But there is a third approach that has enormous potential – working to change hearts.  And when it comes to reaching people’s hearts, movies are among the most powerful tools God has given us.  Movies tell stories – and it’s stories that engage us; a truth Jesus often used in the telling of His parables. 

Through well-drawn characters and compelling drama, a movie can create a world that touches the human heart like no other form of communication.  Alison’s Choice is a feature film that will touch hearts and save lives by encouraging young women to choose life.

THE STORY

Set in an abortion clinic, Alison sits in the reception room waiting her turn.  She meets the clinic’s janitor; the two begin talking, and it quickly becomes clear that this “janitor” is no mere man.  In fact, He is Jesus manifest, and He’s come to persuade her to save the life of her baby.  Alison responds with confusion, angst, and the common objections: she’s not ready; it’s her body’ her boyfriend doesn’t want a child. 

Jesus reaches to her with wisdom, love and patience, but Alison struggles at every turn.
With the clock ticking fast, Jesus pleads with Alison. He confronts her; even weeps before her and shows her the little girl inside her womb.  It is a fight for life as Alison’s name could be called at any moment.  What will Alison choose?

THE OBJECTIVE

The goal of Alison’ Choice is saving unborn lives.  We trust that in the hands of a loving God this film will deeply impact mothers in crisis.  To this aim, the plan is to produce and distribute Alison’s Choice as a ministry.  Funding by donations eliminates conflicting business objective so that alongside theatrical/DVD release, Alison’s Choice will be offered in bulk to churches, ministries, crisis pregnancy centers, etc.  This “bulk distribution” has been tested through the evangelical film, Road to Emmaus (featuring Bruce Marchiano as Jesus).  More than 250,000 DVD copies have been distributed and the testimonies of lives changes are countless.  This is what happens when a ministry approach is invoked.

BRUCE MARCHIANO – WRITER/PRODUCER 


Millions across America and the world know Bruce as the actor who portrayed Jesus as a man of joy and passion in the film, The Gospel of Matthew (The Visual Bible). Witnessing countless lives changed through Matthew, Bruce came into a deep understanding of the impact and potential of the Gospel presented on film.

 Turning away from his secular acting career, he devoted himself to the creation of more such films, as well as penning several books about Jesus – three being awarded the Evangelical Christian Publisher’s Association Silver Medallion Award. In 2001 he founded Marchiano Ministries, an outreach ministry that serves in the USA and overseas.  As an actor, Bruce has starred in numerous Christian films, including the 2011 hit, The Encounter, and he holds the distinction of portraying Jesus in more films than any other actor in history.  It is a distinction he holds as a deeply humbling honor.

PRODUCED THROUGH YOU



Your donation of any amount, even $10/20, brings Alison’s Choice to the screen.  All donations are tax-deductible in USA, and every donor receives a film credit.  Churches/ministries receive free DVD’s screenings, and a premiere event (email for details).  By God’s hand, through all of us together, babies lives will be saved!
