Things you might like to know… 0

by Sam on Friday 15th April 2011 in News

Things have, once again, been pretty quiet on the blog front (we must work on that…), so I thought it was about time to fill you guys in on what’s been happening lately.

First of all, we’re really pleased to say that ‘Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure’ is now available in Faith Mission Bookshops across Northern Ireland, as well as the Scripture Union Resource Centre and the Methodist Resource Centre at Edgehill. We really hope that this makes it a lot more accessible and straight forward for you, or your small group etc. to get a hold of!

We’ve also heard of a couple of stories recently where the film has been shared on an individual level between colleagues in the workplace – and it has opened up opportunities to discuss and explore the themes and concepts that come out of the film as a result of it. This is exactly the sort of stuff that really excites us and makes everything worth it! If you have any stories like this or about making use of the film in some way we’d love to hear from you – send us an email through the contact page!

Finally, we also spent a bit of time in the freezing cold and rain in a lovely Belfast park recently shooting a (quickly put together, zero budget) video to explain a little bit more about who we are and what we are trying to do, as well as how to get a hold of a copy of the first film and how to use it. Hopefully it will give you a clearer grasp of what’s going on here, and will help you share the vision with other people, without them having to read through everything on our website! So go on, why not share the video with some other people at your Church or in your small group and help introduce them to the idea behind Imprint.

A Brand New Year, Lets Pray For More Of The Same 0

by Andy on Friday 21st January 2011 in News

We are currently embracing 2011 and praying for expectancy in how God will use us and &nd films.

From our beginnings in 2009 we have been so blessed with guidance, words of wisdom, donations and prayers and we want to thank all who have helped get Imprint to where it is now. God has always provided when we’ve needed it and it’s been amazing to see His hand over everything.

I’m pleased to announce we’ve nearly sold our first run of Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure, prompting a new order for re-stocking.

We’ve also been able to start ramping up promotion but we still require your help. If you know any church leaders, organisations, people involved in small groups or any friends seeking new ways to share Jesus they may be interested in using Fashion Fishing &nd Failure. Pass them on a copy or direct them to our website. They can order a copy at our online store or find it at Scripture Union Bookshop, Albertbridge Road for £1.99.

Please pray for us that the word spreads about Fashion Fishing &nd Failure, that we have the finances to further it’s promotion, that word of mouth and recommendation will get people enthused and that ultimately people are inspired to share Jesus with loved ones and friends.

Lastly, pray for us as we grow and look to future projects, that Gods hand is guiding us that we continually his wisdom and vision.

Thanks

Andy

Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure has now launched 3

by Dave on Sunday 17th October 2010 in News

We all had a great night last Thursday (7th October) at our first film launch. There were around 80 people who attended representing a broad spectrum of churches and some traveled from as far away as Kesh (a several hour round trip!) to see and get their hands on a copy of the film.

The night kicked of with Jonny sharing the journey and vision of why we had produced this film and the steps we had taken to get to this point. We then showed the film which led into short presentations from Stephen Cave (Evangelical Alliance), Craig Hunter (Studio Sterio) & Colin Williams (Inferno). I shared ways that the DVD can be used and the night was concluded with some of Jonnys amazing brownies and cup cakes and live music by Emma Hopley.

Before I finish this wee blog I want to just give you a list of ways that you could use this film. I believe that evangelism is most effective within the contexts of already established personal relationships and so &ndfilms is an amazing resource to aid our personal evangelism.

Some ways that you can use the film.

Available for any individual person to share it with a friend, college or family member.
Cell/Small/House groups
Whole Churches/Congregations
Within evangelistic services/events
Used as a part of existing outreach programmes of any organisations with a missional heart
Christian Unions/SUs/Alpha/Christianity Explored etc
School Assemblies
Prison Ministry

I also want to make you aware of the follow up web site that has been designed to accompany the film which can be found at www.andfilms.org (currently in Beta stages). This is incase the film is used impersonally and there is no follow-up carried out to complete the conversation and telling of the Gospel. It is also for someone wanting find out more online rather than talk it through with their friend.

Please contact us to get a copy or copies of Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure at an introductory cost of £1.50 and begin to see your friends engage in conversations about Jesus with you. Just fire us an email to info@imprintmedia.org

Please leave your comments, ideas of how you are using the film and the stories of lives that have been changed or challenged as a result of watching the film!!!

Imprint Media Grp. present &nd Films 0

by Jonny on Saturday 18th September 2010 in News

Well we are truly into the home straight on our first project… it even has a name now and everything.

Imprint Media Grp. is proud to present the first film in the &ndfilms series – ‘Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure’.

Connie and Craig over at StudioStereo have been busy over the last few months both finishing the film editing (it’s looking truly magnificent by the way) and also developing the branding for the series and we couldn’t be more excited with the way things have been shaping up.

We hope that the series can be a launching point for a whole range of films which can be used as challenging evangelical resources to help Christians share their faith with other people in their lives.

We are currently planning the launch of the first film for 8.00PM on Thursday 7th October at Strandtown Baptist Church, Belfast and we really want to welcome you to join us to find out how we think ‘Fashion, Fishing &nd Failure’ can be used in your church, smallgroup or organisation to help you be evangelistic in a way which speaks into todays modern society that is both creative and personal.

To check out a short trailer of the film visit imprintmedia.org

Hopefully see you on the 7th for an exciting night.

Things aren’t as quiet as they seem… 0

by Sam on Monday 12th July 2010 in News

Well, it’s all been a bit quiet on the blog front of-late… But that doesn’t mean that we haven’t been doing anything – far from it in fact! So it’s probably about time for another quick update:

So, we are edging ever closer to having a final, finished copy of the first film in our hands – and as a part of that edging process we spent a bit of time in Sonic Visuals studio in Hillsborough last Wednesday recording the soundtrack to be slotted into a final cut of the film! A couple of weeks previous to hitting the studio we spent 14 hours of a lovely sunny day locked away in a Church in Holywood putting down our musical ideas and recording a demo version of the final soundtrack… It’s been a long enough process, but we’re happy that we’ve got a piece of music that fits with the film and really helps to draw out and emphasise key points in the dialogue etc.

In other news we’ve been working away at trying to spread the word about Imprint a bit more (any help here is greatly appreciated!) and as a part of that we were really pleased that Summer Madness generously allowed us to have our new trailer played on the main stage and at the Rehab venue. It provoked a bit of interest from a few people, which has been really encouraging and great to see! We are currently working on trying to get a bit more promotion on the go at other Christian conferences and events in Northern Ireland over the summer – so if you have any suggestions do get in touch!

One final encouragement we have also had recently came from one of the trust funds we had contacted about supporting us financially. They have offered to provide us with a grant that would really be a great boost to furthering the work of Imprint, if we are able to raise a bit more ourselves! It’s both a challenge and an encouragement – but we are really looking forward to seeing Gods direction and provision over the coming weeks in all this sort of stuff!

Please continue to lift us up in prayer as we get near to a completion point on the first project, so that everything is hopefully in place for release in September time!

Thanks for your continued interest and support – have a great day now!
