Their movies are favorites in church crowds in most conservative denominations, but what would shock even many of these groups is who is actually behind many of these movies.
Sure, the Kendrick brothers are making and producing these movies, but there are some very extreme people who are supporting them by promoting the movie, and even giving money to help the cause.
According to the extremism watch site, The Wartburg Watch, the brothers not only participated in, but accepted an award and cash prize ($101,000) from a group called the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.
They also attended a conference held by the SAICFF called the Christian Filmmakers Academy in 2009, and gave a speech to the crowd.
It's rather disturbing the list of people who are behind this film festival, the full list is available at The Wartburg Watch article:
Doug Phillips: He is the founder of SAICFF, and is also a leader in the pro-Christian Patriarchy group Vision Forum. Vision forum is anti women's rights, anti birth control, and are supporters of the Quiverfull movement, which teaches families to have as many children as they possibly can.
There are also pro Young Earth Creationism, and believe that their daughters should not be allowed to go to college.
