Deidox

Exciting news… We just wrapped production on our fifth film, “Deidox | Li”, which takes place in China. Yes, you read that right…

The fifth Deidox film takes place within the underground church in China.

Calling the film shoot “exciting” would be an understatement. The trip was full of ups and downs (and sidesteps) where the Lord took us on a Deidox journey of our own as we discovered the story we felt God wanted us to tell. It’s a bit too early to say more, but rest assured that further details will be coming in the next few months. We’re editing now, but post production on this film may take a bit longer because of sensitivities and security concerns. That being said, we’re hoping to release “Deidox | Li” in late September or early October.

For now, shoot up a prayer for us as we’re editing, and enjoy this Chinese sign.

Welcome to the new Deidox website! Thank you for checking us out, we hope you enjoy our premier films, featuring a Pay-What-You-Want option – Lindsay, Robert, and coming in February, Deon. All three of these films comprise the Deidox Beta phase. These are the fruits of the work-in-progress that is the Deidox series, which we hope will in the future host dozens of films documenting the activity of God in and through His people.

Momentum has been picking up as the word about Deidox gets around!

This week (and it’s only Tuesday!) we had two very thoughtful and complementary pieces pop on the World Wide Web. Both were written by pastors who Twitter (@GregSimmons & @navets).

Greg attended one of our webcasts:
“The pieces I’ve seen from Deidox are, simply put, amazing. The short films highlight God’s impact in one person’s life. While there are other short films/videos that tell someone’s story, these are different. The documentary, first-person style makes the storytelling so personal, so real.”

Stevan wrote a glowing review for us:
“I have purchased and shown both of their current videos, “Lindsay” and “Robert” to our youth group during my LGLP series over the last few weeks. At $19.99/ea., the videos are comparable to most online short-form illustrative video price-wise, but I dare you to compare the quality. These are by-far some of the best-produced media for the Christian-community out there.”

Its posts and reviews like these that we love to read and share! And they are hugely helpful to the accumulating number of perked ears to “Deidox!” If you would like to write a review on your blog or website, let us know!

We have had some great feedback and fantastic articles written by viewers in the recent weeks! Here are some excerpts from the publications:

We have been receiving many compliments and and positive reviews since Deidox launched last month. Check out some of the things that are being said:

In our world, stories aren’t just orally transmitted like in the days of old. They aren’t just Jesus telling his disciples about a metaphorical farmer. It’s not a bad idea, and sometimes this is a great option. But in our world, stories can take you so close to a different life that you can feel it.

However you tell it, it’s important that you prioritize these stories so people can understand and believe that as humans, we’re capable of so much. Perhaps you need to use a story from Deidox or the ever-popular Nooma. Or it could be that you need the pastor to interview a member of your congregation about their time at the soup kitchen.

Think of Deidox… as short narrative-driven films featuring glimpses of the Kingdom at work in our midst. In other words, these are documentaries of the Missio Dei in action. Not only are they stories told through a great medium, but they display the power of the imagination when lead by God.

The point of these films is to inspire the viewers to “to realize anew how big and active God is, how He is reaching and changing lives in all countries…” as well as support those individuals whose stories are being told through the films.”

One thing we know about the 20-something generation is that they are moved by story and especially stories of God being active.  The days of ministry simple doing using apologetics and propositional truths to share their message are largely over.  If your church wants to reach out effectively to this generation this might be a great resource to check out and see how it might foster interaction and discussion.”
