- DirectorDarren WilsonStarsNic BillmanRachel BillmanReinhard BonnkeNot All Who Wander Are Lost In Holy Ghost Reborn, the sequel to the popular and controversial Holy Ghost, Director Darren Wilson continues his journey around the world in his quest to make a movie that is completely led by the Holy Spirit. Although the scope of the film is indeed huge, with Darren filming in the middle of a massive protest in Rome, with a witch doctor in Africa, with prostitutes and the homeless in Brazil, amidst the ancient ruins of Greece, and even with a group of Navy SEALs, Holy Ghost Reborn is ultimately a film about one man's search for the Spirit of God. It is a Spirit that created the Universe, but ultimately desires to reveal the truth of Jesus to all of us, individually. Darren searches for an invisible God, and finds a tangible friend who relentlessly pursues us all.

- DirectorLebo AkatioStarsTorben SøndergaardCharles KridiotisPeter AhlmanIn August 2014, Torben Søndergaard and filmmaker Lebo Akatio were traveling to the USA for a discipleship training weekend. On the way, they felt God told them to make a film. Not just a short movie that would just show the trip, but a big feature-length production that would show how the church needs reformation. When they arrived in the USA they bought the necessary equipment and got to work. During that trip and the trips that followed, they were able to capture impressive miracles and other things that had never been shown in any film before. The message is also quite different from similar movies out there. This movie will be part one of a trilogy and the work for the second movie has already begun. This movie is special in every way. There was no plan, there was no budget--only a few people and the guidance of God. It is a movie that will tell the world about a movement that is going on in our time--now also in the western world. It's a movement of people who have a burning heart for this world. These people see that this dying world needs Jesus Christ, but it's so hard to reach people. They discovered that people made things too complicated a long time ago. They see that if we go back to the gospel, as it was presented in the Book of Acts, we will see the same things happening as in the time of the first disciples.
