(Rock Rapids, IA) – An everyday family struggles to free itself from the burden of material possessions in Stand Strong, a new DVD from Bridgestone Multimedia Group.
The Christian independent film follows Matt Webster, a husband and father who measures his success by his possessions. While he appears to have it all, pride of ownership does little to fill the void in Matt’s life, which lacks strong convictions and a strong faith in God.
Financial stress creates tension among Matt, his wife, Tara, and their children, who slowly watch the seams of a seemingly perfect existence unravel as credit cards are declined and arguments grow heated. After nearly losing a loved one in an accident, Matt and his family are stripped of all they own and are forced to move in with his brother’s family. In their new positive, Christian environment, Matt and Tara learn by example how to lead their home and their children, re-evaluate their priorities, and realize that happiness is the true measure of success.
Inspired by the message in the seventh chapter of the book of Matthew, Stand Strong earned the Dove Foundation’s Family-Approved Seal for all ages and praise as a “powerful drama that is as contemporary as today’s newspaper.”
“This one just might change your life and is guaranteed to build up your faith,” said Edwin L. Carpenter in his Dove Foundation review of the DVD, which marks the debut of Amy Kenney as a director.
Stand Strong stars Chris Steele, Alison Trouse, Bryce Bishop, Nathan Dobbin, Ricky Egan, Shelby Smith, Jon McKenzie, Zachary Platt, and Aura Kenney.
