Turning the hearts of the fathers to the hearts of the children,
and the hearts of the children to the Heart of the Father!

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.

But the question is: How do you present this Truth to the world?

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.

It is a film for SUCH A TIME AS THIS.


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.

      

The CMP Version 2.01 is currently live on our website: https://thelambmovie.com

        

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.

Visit our video gallery for more videos on the development process and team.

FAQ's

1. How will I receive and redeem my digital movie tickets?
You will receive an email with login information and instructions through which you can access your tickets on The LAMB website. When the film is in the theaters you will be able to search for venues near you by entering your zip/postal code and booking online.

2. Is there enough time to complete the film before Easter 2017?
Production funding for The LAMB needs to be in place by July 2016.

  • Pre-Production                10 Jul - 2 Sep 2016
  • Shoot (10 Weeks)           4 Sep - 11 Nov 2016
  • Post Production              4 Sep - 17 Jan 2017

3. What happens if the full $750,000 is not raised?
We are ready to launch our Pre-sale of Tickets campaign now. Our CMP platform is live and our Ticket campaign is ready. If we raise less that our target the underpinning marketing campaign in support of the Ticket Campaign will simple be reduced.
