best Hollywood standards. In the past, whether the film was being made for Youth for Christ, Child Evangelism or Billy Graham,, the budget has always been fairly small. To solve this problem Ross has formed a new business corporation that is being financed by the sale of preferred securities. The new corpor ation, Delta Productions, will draw on the huge reservoir of talent built up by its parent organization, Great Commission Films. Since the films are being shot on N O V E M B E R 19,5 3
35mm (they will be available also in regular 16mm) they can be shown without loss of detail to large aud iences. First of the Delta Produc tions will be premiered across the nation starting Nov. 15. All the pre miers will be on the professional- size 35mm film and viewers will for the first time see evangelical Chris tian films in Technicolor, the color process used in most big Hollywood productions. Commenting on this new develop ment in Christian films, Ross said,
“ From the Christian public we must have prayer support; from stewards of the Lord’s money we must have investment capital; from the Spirit of God we must have the inspira tion and the power to convict men of sin.” And if Ross’ past work is any indication of this new work, then it would seem he will have his request.
