Love | Hope | Change
The Faith & Film Coalition of... Churches, Colleges, Community & Country (FFCC) is a coalition of Christian believers collaborating to produce faith-based films. The FFCC's member organizations, referred to as "C groups," provide support to film productions in various ways beyond just financial assistance. The majority of FFCC-produced films operate on a budget ranging from $0 to $10,000, with funding primarily coming from local congregations. Production teams comprise High School and College students from local, state, and national institutions who have a passion for Christian filmmaking.

About us
How it all started…
It all began in 2012 when Sidney Bryant teamed up with Emerson Stewart, who was a senior in high school at the time, to create a local community film called Popularity Evil with the aim of addressing bullying. This marked the start of collaborative film projects in Coffee County, Georgia. Sidney and Emerson involved other high school students, churches, organizations, as well as local city and county officials in making short films using local resources like facilities, businesses, homes, and even vehicles. Their next project, Even Eye, was also a result of this collaboration.
In 2014, Sidney and Emerson brought together over 20 high school students from Coffee County, Ben Hill County, Hall County, and Tift County Schools, along with 10 college students from various institutions and members of several churches from places like Fitzgerald, Douglas, Atlanta, Nashville, and Rockwall, to create a full-length feature film called Surrender. This marked the progression towards establishing collaborative, faith-based filmmaking in South Georgia.
As ONE Compelling Picture delved into the production process, it became evident that the most effective way to create impactful faith-based films with high production quality but on a limited budget, was to form a coalition of churches. This coalition would not only foster unity within the community but also provide opportunities for emerging filmmakers in the Kingdom of God. Consequently, the FFCC was founded.
Covenant Partnership
The FFCC is always accepting new partners in helping produce faith based films. Your support goes beyond the screen. Our ultimate goal is to generate a steady stream of revenue to pour into the FOR Coffee initiative which is a community initiative established and led by GracePointe Church. Our desire is to build & establish an organization with Christian standards, to provide production crew training, acting classes, sound & audio training that not only lends partnership and work within the FFCC but also helps strengthen and grow media ministries within our Covenant Partner’s Ministries. As we begin this journey, our goal will be to funnel 15% of all revenue from productions lead by The FFCC into the FOR Coffee Initiative. By joining us, this will allow us to further help our Local Community, Local Ministries, Families, Schools, youth & future. Partner today!
