Halestorm Entertainment
Halestorm Entertainment was a film production and distribution company based in Orem, Utah. It was founded in January 2001 by Kurt Hale and Dave Hunter, who were both film majors at Brigham Young University. Halestorm films were largely created by, for, and about Latter-day Saints, and usually contain a high number of clichés and stereotypes about the behavior and culture of mainland Western United States members of the Church. Because of that, their films are mostly shown in first run movie theatres in the that region, where most US members of that church live. The company started with a successful first film, ''The Singles Ward,'' released in 2002. However, with a major box office failure in ''The Home Teachers'' it faced a declining market for explicitly Mormon-themed comedy films. In response, Halestorm phased out of producing explicitly LDS-based films with ''Church Ball'' sporting fewer in-jokes and named talent in an attempt to gain a wider audience. The company was qui ...

Mormon Cinema
Mormon cinema usually refers to films with themes relevant to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The term has also been used to refer to films that do not necessarily reflect Mormon themes but have been made by Mormon filmmakers. Films within the realm of Mormon cinema may be distinguished from institutional films produced by the LDS Church, such as ''Legacy'' and '' Testaments,'' which are made for instructional or proselyting purposes and are non-commercial. Mormon cinema is produced mainly for the purposes of entertainment and potential financial success. Though Latter-day Saints have been involved in the film industry in various ways since the early 20th century, independent Mormon cinema is a relatively new phenomenon. Many scholars and filmmakers accredit Richard Dutcher's 2000 film '' God's Army'' with ushering in the modern Mormon cinema movement. Following the commercial success of Dutcher's film, Mormon producers and directors began ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
