Alex Kendrick Takes Christian Filmmaking Global with 'Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul'
Why is Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul one of the most groundbreaking Christian films in years? In this interview with Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust, filmmaker Alex Kendrick shares how God opened the door to remake the Kendrick Brothers' first movie, in Brazil, with a local cast, local language and a new generation of Christian filmmakers. He explains why this unique approach could shape the future of faith-based filmmaking and reveals the incredible story behind the film's production. Kendrick also reflects on the mission that has driven every Kendrick Brothers film, from Facing the Giants and Fireproof to War Room and The Forge, and why he believes movies should do more than entertain – they should change hearts. Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul opens in theaters Oct. 16, and Kendrick says he hopes it inspires audiences to pursue a deeper faith in Christ.
