Back in 2014, we at Blackstone Films released The Third Way<\/a>, a 40-minute documentary film on the Catholic Church and homosexuality. Hundreds of thousands of Catholics and non-Catholics alike have seen the film, and it was endorsed by prominent Church leaders across the world. But even with the success of The Third Way<\/a>, we\u2019ve realized that the fight against marriage goes much further than its redefinition.<\/p>\n
With the advent of widespread contraception, divorce, pornography, and many more, the matter and ends of marriage as determined by God and defined by His Church are being eroded. Beginning this week, we are embarking on a crucial project with an ambitious goal: we are creating a documentary which will positively and permanently transform our society\u2019s understanding of marriage.<\/p>\n
In order to make this film possible, we need to raise $1,000,000 by June 1st, 2015<\/a>.<\/strong> We fully intend to produce a film of Hollywood quality, and to do that, we need a Hollywood budget (even if it is an incredibly SMALL Hollywood budget). This will allow us to interview some 30 leading experts on the topics listed above, as well as provide stunning visual quality in a compelling 90 minute story. We can\u2019t make this film without your help, however. If you\u2019d like to give toward the production of this project, please visit: www.blackstonefilms.org\/marriage<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
