In a world where division, hatred, suffering, fear and uncertainty is ever increasing, people are crying out for the truth!
The Absolute Truth is only found in Jesus Christ.
The LAMB motion picture is a simple, yet powerful parable about God's heart for people. The story will touch the hearts of adults and children alike, in every nation and culture on earth. It is a film about the power of God's love to renew, reconcile, and resurrect.
The Story
Living at the time of Christ, a young Israeli family must deal with
the tragic loss of their eldest son. After the death of his 13-year-old
brother, young Joel becomes an orphan in his own home when his
father renounces God and abandons his family.
Parallel to the lives of the family, the story of Jesus Christ unfolds
and eventually intersects with theirs at the cross...
To understand the power of The Lamb, you need to fully experience the Story.
Please set aside a dedicated 15-minutes to listen to the Director's
passionate narration of The LAMB story for it will form the foundation of your future involvement
in this inspiring project.

The Vision
THE GOSPEL TO ALL NATIONS THROUGH THE LAMB!
There are over 7,000,000,000 people on earth. If you were to count them one per second, it would take you over 200 years to count every living soul on the planet today.
The increase in knowledge, as prophesied by Daniel (Dan 12:4), and the incredible advances in technology has made the impossible possible...
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE WILL DISTRIBUTE THE LAMB MOVIE;
-
through traditional film theaters and outlets,
-
through satellite broadcasts,
-
through the Internet,
- through handheld devices,
- and through millions of believers world-wide,
TO EVERY NATION, TRIBE, TONGUE, AND PEOPLE.
The Impact
The impact of this film is not in our hands.
By the Spirit of the Lord God Almighty the message of The LAMB will spread worldwide, and by the same Spirit the hearts of people in every corner on earth will be turned to their Maker.
Zec 4:6 "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit," says the Lord Almighty.
Frank Yablans
Frank Yablans became the youngest president of Paramount Pictures at the
age of 31. During his tenure as president, often referred to as
Paramount’s Golden Years, Frank masterminded the development and
production of an extraordinary slate
of movie classics:
The
Godfather I & II, Love Story, Chinatown, The Great Gatsby, Mommy
Dearest, North Dallas Forty, Paper Moon, Murder of the Orient Express,
Silver Streak, Yentl and many more. Frank was a story guy...
Frankie loved The LAMB:
“This
is the movie I want my grandkids to remember me by. I am not
particularly impressed if they remember ‘The Godfather’, but if The LAMB
is realized the way we think it can be realized, it will change the
world. The LAMB changed MY life…” He passionately referred to The LAMB as the
greatest love story of all time.
Frank was an Executive Producer in The LAMB team who co-wrote the
final draft of The LAMB’s screenplay and directed every aspect of the
film's, development,
production plan and its unique global marketing and distribution approach.
Frankie passed on in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day - 11/27/2014.
Our Director
Internationally acclaimed director, Regardt van den Bergh (best selling
Christian DVD series The Gospel According to Matthew, and award winning
feature film, Faith Like Potatoes) will direct The LAMB.
“This is not just a film for the Christians. Our target audience is
people who will never go to a church, and who frown on anything bearing a 'Christian' label, but, will go to watch a
highly recommended movie. The universal value displayed through the
message of Jesus Christ in The LAMB, will speak to the hearts of every
person, any age, any ethnicity, in every nation on Earth”
Our Funding Approach
To
retain the integrity of The LAMB's message and to make the film available
worldwide without copyright, it is crucial that we fund the film entirely through the Pre-sale of Movie Tickets and Contributions.
The
purpose of this INDIEGOGO campaign is to raise a $750,000 budget for a 45-day
National media buy-out & online marketing drive to promote The LAMB's Ticket Campaign .
This ticket campaign will be translated and expanded to include regions where
the following languages are spoken: Afrikaans, Spanish, Mandarin,
Portuguese, Korean, Russian and Hindi.
CMP Proprietary Software Developed
To
facilitate this self-funding concept through ticket sales for The LAMB we
developed proprietary software called CMP (Christian Mobilization Platform) through
which The LAMB's movie tickets will be sold at $10 each. It’s easy to Buy
Tickets, Transfer Tickets and to Promote The LAMB to family and friends.
CMP is unique in the way it integrates with all the major social media networks
allowing users to promote The LAMB cross-platform with a few clicks.
CMP engages Partners (mainly non-profits, ministries and churches) to facilitate
The LAMB's ticket sales through their members. A Partner would generate a
Promotional Email on CMP, which they then send to their members (we do not require access to a Partner's database).
These promotional emails are then sent out to the Partner's members. Each email has a unique identifier embedded within through
which CMP tracks tickets sales. Partners receive $1.00 per ticket sold to its members. Here's were it gets interesting: Members are inspired to forward The LAMB's Promotional Email and to spread word about The LAMB through their Social Media posts.
Partners receive $1.00 on all resulting viral sales
as well!
CMP pays commissions on a monthly basis directly to Partner’s PayPal accounts.

Funding Phases & Use of Funds
PHASE
ONE FUNDING: $750,000 --> MARKET THE EASTER TICKET CAMPAIGN
To fund an
extensive social media and online marketing campaign, strengthened by a media
buy-out on selective Christian television stations, cable network and radio
stations, is in the works. This includes a mass email campaign to over 120 million opt-in believers in the US.
In
addition a 45-day US promotional tour for the Director and Producers are planned
to promote The LAMB through our main ministry and non-profit partners.
PHASE TWO FUNDING: $20 MILLION --> THE FILM'S PRODUCTION
BUDGET
To fund The LAMB's production budget in full we need less than a 2% response from our initial Easter campaign mass mailings. In addition to our direct email campaign there will be thousands of smaller campaigns that
our Partners will launch through their organizations.
We
are confident that full funding will be achieved with this approach.
500 Patron Producers
We've made 500 Patron Producers
positions in The LAMB available for this campaign. As a Patron Producer YOUR NAME will appear in the
official film credits of the film.
Only
500 Patron Producers supporting the LAMB with $1,500 each and this
major marketing campaign for The LAMB is fully funded (perk details
above).
We realize this is a substantial financial commitment
and not within everybody's budget. But almost everybody knows people
that will support The LAMB, if given the opportunity - please spread the
word! #forthelamb
No contribution is to small, it is the united
effort of many believers that has brought this project so far, and in
unity, by the Grace of God, we will see The LAMB to fruition.
Risks & Challenges
Movies
are risky business - everybody knows that. It takes time and a lot of passion,
energy and patience to develop an independent film, get it funded, produced and
distributed.
Take the film Revenant
as example; after 15 years of sweat and tears the film finally made it to the
big screen last year and is now nominated for 12 Academy awards, including Best Picture.
Our
ability to raise the $20 million production budget independently is probably our biggest
risk factor.
There
are many things that sets The LAMB apart from other film projects attributing
to its uniqueness and allure, but over and above the obvious:
- There are many people praying for The LAMB.
- We have a highly talented and experienced Director that
is called to make The LAMB and has been making films about Christ in Ouarzazate since
1993.
- We have a solid experienced production team that is
passionately dedicated to making The LAMB to the highest production
standards.
- We have great Partners that have "claimed"
The LAMB as their own.
- Our funding approach is unique in the way that our CMP
software utilizes and combines technologies to mobilize our target market
around the world.
- Our target market for raising the $20
million production budget for The LAMB through Ticket Sales consists of over 2 Billion believers worldwide.
We
fully believe in the funding plan and approach as set out above, but in the end
we also believe that the ultimate success of The LAMB project is not in our
hands.
God
inspired The LAMB for a specific purpose and a specific time in the history of
the world - it is ultimately all in His hands.
Development to Date
To
date a total of $3.5m was raised in The LAMB project for the development of the:
screenplay, the production team, business plan, marketing plan & partners,
storyboard, pre-production, location scouting, CMP software/website development
and social media/online marketing campaign.
