Sight & Sound, the theatrical ministry that has drawn millions to its Broadway-style Bible musicals, is expanding into the movies. The new endeavour, known as Sight & Sound Films, will produce and release films about people in history who “changed the world because Christ first changed them,” said Josh Enck, president and chief story officer of Sight & Sound.Sight & Sound operates theatres in Ronks, Pennsylvania and the second in Branson, Missouri which has attracted some 30 million visitors since the ministry’s founding in the 1970s. The musicals are based on men and women from Scripture and feature massive sets, elaborate costumes and special effects. Each stage is 300 feet wide – the length of a football field.Enck said, the movies will not be limited to Bible characters, “but we are committed to biblical principles, our movies will portray true stories from the pages of the past that are waiting to be retold. Like our brand in theatres, our films will be epic in scope with life-changing messages. In the same way, our stage productions have a cinematic flair, our films have a theatrical style; both are infused with spectacle, meaning story.”Matt Neff, chief executive officer of Sight & Sound, said the ministry wants the films to “ring out above the noise of culture and bring hope, truth, and inspiration to the silver screen. We’re humbled, that God has given us this opportunity to expand our passion for sharing stories of faith beyond the stage.”What began with a dairy farmer, his wife, a few slide projectors, a passion for creativity and a desire to serve God, grew into the Sight & Sound Theatres we know today, one of the largest organizations of its kind, and one of the top three theatre destinations in the country.A family-owned business that is passionately committed to a team of 600 employees whose purpose is to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and sow the Word of God into the lives of customers, guests and fellow workers by visualizing and dramatizing the scriptures, through inspirational productions, encouraging others and seeking always to be dedicated and wise stewards of God-given talents and resources.ALSO READ Chad Michael Murray reveals he starts his day by putting on Spiritual Armor, reading the bible
