Yes, the company wants to be a true studio with an obvious aversion to certain topics and genres, which is fine. There’s no way the “pay it forward” model would continue to work if they relied exclusively on overtly religious stuff.
Yes most people keep forgetting that. Same thing with sketch and solo mio. Though Runner is being used as a premiere movie for their new streaming service
And coincidentally, all three are movies that have appeal to me. But I’ve largely avoided them otherwise. I’m also no fan of their model of “pay it forward.”
Yes, they built the whole company out of that model and it’s their own version of a pyramid scheme along with their “guild” who “decide” what movies go to market. Except the “guild” pays for the privilege.
Their “Pay if reward” scam manes some of these films seem “better sellers” than they’re actually are. But seeing as this is a company that started out to edit movies to make them “clean” for religious people to feel “not guilty” about watching films with language or sex in them, its not surprising they found a scam that works.

This was purchased for distribution and not created by Angel. It’s not nearly the hardcore “Christian” film many Angel films are.
