Runtime
90 min

Synopsis

This feature documentary examines three integral writers who over the past century wrote within the Christian Science-Fiction genre. Through interviews with scholars and current writers, reenactments, archival materials, and excerpts from their works, it explores a genre that has been counterculture since its beginning. They were outsiders within the larger sci-fi genre and they would face harsh criticism, dismissal, and even hostility, from all sides for putting their faith and imagination into their writing. In the end, Victor Rosseau, C.S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle were pioneers of a sub genre that would doggedly survive and continue to influence popular culture to this day.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
