New Film Announcement: The Meaning of "Choice"
Family and Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that I have begun preproduction on my next short film, “The Meaning of ‘Choice’”.
In the film, young pro-life activist Sarah O’Conner addresses a pro-life gathering and tells them the story of Angela, a young woman whose decision to let her child live nearly precipitates her own murder and reveals the true nature of the “pro-choice” movement.
The film will highlight the intellectual dishonesty of the so-called “pro-choice” movement and challenge pro-lifers on their willingness to allow the enemy to define the debate with deceptive labels.
I would appreciate your prayers as I move forward with this film. Principal photography is tentatively scheduled for late May with entry in the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival and DVD release following in the Fall of this year.
If you know anyone who might be interested in participating in this film, please send them to this website.
Thank you for your support!
God bless!
David B. Thompson
Writer, Director, Producer, “The Meaning of ‘Choice’”
