We got to see a pre-release screening of  Woodlawn and it's outstanding AND completely uncompromising. John 14:6 is at the top of their posters: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

It tells the story o...

Joyce and I recently saw a pre-release screening of Captive at The Sheen Center.

It's a very powerful film about how Ashley Smith, played by Kate Mara ( Fantastic Four), was held captive by Brian Nichols, played by David Oyelowo (Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma),  in her own home for seven ...

I believe one of the reasons my faith has remained strong all my life is that every year on the anniversary of my grandpa's death in 1942, my grandma retold the story of how Grandpa  saw heaven.  He died of spinal meningitis, but Grandma, one of the greatest prayer warriors I've ever know...

Joyce and I were hanging out with Nathan when Josh texted to see if we could get together. I asked if Nathan Clarkson could join us. He said, "I just had dinner with someone who said I should connect with Nathan Clarkson!" So I told them both about how a friend gave Patricia Mau...

This is one of five student films we created at The Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp this summer: "Oncoming Truck."

Rich and Joyce Swingle in Indescribable

I had been praying since the mid-90s that I could sell DVDs of films in which I've performed at performances of my one-man plays. It's so exciting to see that prayer being answered as more and more of the films in which I've performed are becoming available.
