redemptiveToday I’m having post-Oscar euphoria! (Okay, so it wasn’t the Oscars, but the international film festival I attended for the purpose of receiving an award on behalf of Mercy Medical Airlift and Cross and Flag Productions had plenty of bling—and it was right here in Virginia Beach at Regent University.)

The fourth annual Redemptive Film Festival screened the winning films on Friday night, October 16, including Compassion Takes Flight. Saturday’s Grand Awards ceremony was a semi-formal affair, and I had the honor of accepting the Redemptive Storyteller Award on stage and giving a brief acceptance speech.

Kudos to the filmmakers from 30 countries including the U.S. who were rewarded for their works of excellence and inspiration, and to the festival’s founder and director, Dr. Chris Cunningham, for promoting family-friendly films and for giving all of the festival proceeds to the International Justice Mission (www.IJM.org) to combat modern-day slavery.
