Come What May is the first release from Advent Film Group (AFG), but the production group founded by George Escobar is planning on producing many more movies in the future. Inspired by Sherwood Pictures (creators of FIREPROOF, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel) AFG has constructed its own model for creating great movies for a faith-based audience.
"There was a core team of 40 home schooled student from across 16 different states that worked on the movie," he says.
With a team at the ready, George and others worked on the script. The central plot is based on a real experience that Patrick Henry College's Moot Court team faced in a national tournament. Having to choose between what is right and what could win is a challenging dilemma, especially when it comes to a life-and-death issue like abortion.
Come What May was filmed over five weeks in Virginia during the summer of 2007. In early 2008, the crew shot an additional seven days of pickup filming. After months of sound mixing, editing, and other post-production work, the DVD was made available through AFG. Later in 2008, Provident-Integrity Distribution signed an agreement to market the movie and the Come What May trailer was highlighted on the FIREPROOF DVD.

There is an amazing story of God's providence in every aspect of how this movie came about. You can read more about it on the Advent Flim Group Website:

It is very timely indeed that this movie is released nationwide on DVD this year, as our new president seems to be doing everything he can to undermine the life of the unborn. Movies like this can help inform people about the precious life of the unborn and open dialogs so that people's hearts might be changed.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone who is looking for a great alternative to the immoral drivel that usually pours out of Hollywood. If we fund good movies like this, we will see more of them!
Thank you for the heads-up. :o)
You might want to alert the homeschool ping list.
I would love to do that, but I’m not sure how. =(

I’m sorry - I should have pinged Dave myself or given you his name.
I went to the website for this film, watched all the videos, perused other links w/in the site then ordered the dvd through CBD.
Thank you!
Thank you!!! I hope you enjoy it! We are very proud of our sons. One was Assistant Producer and Cameraman, as well as doing editing, and lots of other things, including a cameo role in the movie, and my other son has the role of the roomate to the main character.
It really is nice that there are wholesome films with good messages that are quality stories... even though I do have a bit of a bias...
After our family views the movie I know that the homeschool debate club will be wanting to see it then another viewing with friends then I’ll send it to the young man who’s courting my daughter. He’s in South Dakota at Bible College and they must have permission to watch a movie. I doubt this will be turned away. :o)
MORE movies like this are desired and necessary.
oh...almost forgot!
CONGRATULATIONS to your sons! You *must* be very proud.
I *am* very proud! God has been so kind.
My oldest son graduated from PHC right before working on the movie. He was on the debate team for 1 semester, but was a literature major, which fit more with his video business, which he started in high school. He just got married last fall, so we are familiar with the courtship process. What a blessing!!! I love watching them grow as a married couple. Such joy!
Thank you so much!!!
The literature major at PHC is heavy! When we visited PHC a few years ago we spent time in the bookstore which had examples of books for lit. Oh my. Hats off to your son!
We visited PHC because I’m an area admin for a private school devoted to home eduation, and wanted to gain a hands-on knowledge of what the school was all about. A few students have since applied, been accepted, and 2 are there now.
PHC wouldn’t have been a good fit for our daughter though. Her forte is science and math and she’s going into Paramedicine which she’s been interested in for the better part of 10 years. The first of 2 phases is almost completed. I’m thrilled how the Lord is guiding her. We believe she’ll use this experience in the future even though her greatest desire is to one day be a wife and mother. :o)
Please FreepMail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
