"This is an incredible time for filmmaker's," says writer, director and producer Helen Gibson, "We've always known there was a market out there for Christian themed projects but it took someone like Mel Gibson to blow it wide open, capturing the movie industry by surprise."

With the overwhelming success of "The Passion of the Christ" still reverberating through Hollywood, studio executives are asking whether the movie industry has completely overlooked a major segment of the American audience eager for religious content? "You can't ignore the numbers," said Mark Johnson, a veteran film producer. "You can't say it's just a fluke. There's something to be read here."

That's good news for independent filmmakers like Helen Gibson with Christian themed films eager to find distribution. Helen's film "Karla Faye Tucker FOREVERMORE" chronicles the last three years of death row inmate Karla Faye Tucker's life as a repentant pickax killer turned Godly. "This is the story you haven't heard", exclaims Helen. "There was this tremendous love story between Karla and prison minister Dana Brown that the world has yet to hear about, both Karla and Dana had a passion to serve God that's what drew them together, death row just happened to be the setting."

Critics everywhere agree, that soon a lot of powerful people in Hollywood will be screaming, "somebody get me a Christian film!" President Bob Berney of New Market Films, Mel Gibson's distributor, said of the demand, "it's huge, like a tsunami."

Some insiders predict a wave of New Testament-themed movies or uplifting films in general. "Will there really be scriptural pictures - Old Testament, New Testament?" asked Peter Guber, a producer who formerly ran Sony Pictures Entertainment. "The answer seemingly is probably so." That's really 'good news' for Helen's production company Pulling Gs with a completed Christian themed feature and two more Bible based film projects in the wings, one in pre-production and the other, based on the Apostle Paul, in development.

With NBC ordering a pilot of an apocalyptic show called "Revelations," partly based on the Book of Revelation and Pax TV turning Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins best selling "Left Behind" series into a mid-season television series based on Biblical prophecy. Helen Gibson may not have long to wait.
