Christian Review Magazine Issue 3 - March 2015 | Page 34

feel good, Christian film that
would inspire people to trust in
their faith to make a positive
difference in the world around
them.
CR: In Pass The Light, the main
character, Steve Bellafiore, steps
up and lives out his faith in real
ways. Do you hope Pass The Light
will serve as an encouragement
for youth to do likewise?
MG: Yes I do. I think in order to
live your faith in a real way you
have to be able to look at life
and people in a real way. Living
in the information age it’s hard
to shelter our youth from many
of the realities of the world that
we as adults want to protect
them from. It’s only a matter of
time before they’re eventually
affected by it and are aware of it
so we cannot be afraid to discuss
these issues with them. So many
young people have come up to
us after the film with an understanding and awareness of how
to deal with the issues raised in
our film. The film encourages the
youth to use their voice and if
they all come together for
whatever cause they believe in,
their voices will be heard.
CR: As I mentioned before, Pass
the Light is a powerful movie.
Have you heard/read any stories
about how it has impacted,
challenged, or changed lives?

MG: There have been so many
stories shared with us. We have
testimonials given to us on our
FB page, email account, and
even directly on camera. We had
teachers in Brooklyn NY bring
the Pass The Light campaign to
life in their schools by having
their students write positive
notes to each other once a
month. Some schools put up
Pass The Light bulletin boards
similar to the one in our film
where student writes words of
encouragement to one another
and post it. The writer and co
producer of the film Victor
Hawks did a inspiring radio
interview with Pastor Ed Boston
on his podcast and wow, what
the Pastor shared with Victor
and the audience after watching
the film moved me to tears.
CR: We at Christian Review loved
Pass The Light! How has the
response been from other critics
and viewers towards the movie?
MG:The majority of the reviews
have been incredible. Especially
from reviewers familiar with the
genre. Viewer’s reactions have
been mind blowing. We’ve
gotten dozens of standing
ovations in packed houses across
the country and people have
shared their positive feelings
about the film all over social
media.

CR: You are starring in the
upcoming TV Show, iZombie.
Obviously the show is about
zombies... what is your role in that
show?
MG: I play Clive Babineaux who's
a rookie homicide detective
trying earn his first collar. The
show is based off of a DC/Vertigo
Comic book with the same name
and premieres on the CW March
17th (2015).
CR: Can you tell us if you have any
other faith-based projects
planned?
MG: We are developing some
more through our Vision Vehicle
Faith division.
CR: Any last words?
MG: Thank you so much for
supporting our film. We are a
small film with very few
resources so the support from
you and your readers mean the
world to us. Thank you all for
passing your light to us.

Pass the Light is currently
showing in select theaters across
the U.S.A.
