    Grab your teenagers and your popcorn!!!

    The Text is a powerful story of the ramifications of texting while driving. A decision that a young man made only taking a couple seconds to act upon followed by years of dealing with the fallout of his decision. You will watch the hard realities of such a decision and how it affected the lives of his family and friends. Each person had a different journey yet all of them had to deal with pain, tragedy, loss of dreams and broken relationships. As the years pass you will see God work and how the power of forgiveness opens the doors for hope. The Text should be a must see in all Drivers Education classes and for parents to share with their kids as it's a great springboard for conversation.

    Good message

    The message of this film is right on point. Anyone who uses a cell phone needs to watch, especially those who are addicted to using their cell phones. In our world today, it's unfortunate that we put such a high priority on sending texts and expecting to get an immediate response. This film was well written and delivered its message with impact. The characters were relatable, just like you and me. The fact that it incorporated Christian values into it was refreshing. I'd highly recommend this film be shown to young adults getting their drivers license, in addition to those who have lost their license due to texting while driving. Bravo!

    Family film

    The Text is a film that needs to be seen by anyone who drives! It is a story that shows how one moment can change the life's of many people. It is also a Christian film and shows the importance of forgiveness. The cast has wonderful chemistry and the writing, cinematography and editing are second to none! There are also several original musical scores throughout. The Text is just one of the finest independently made films you will find today! You will never regret sitting down to watch these life lessons unfold before your eyes. It should be required to be seen by all young adults learning to drive.

    Good Movie with Good Message

    A movie with a powerful message. The message that can show anyone how powerful and dependent we have become on materialistic items. This shows how important it is to listen to our family and hear what they are saying.

    The movie was a little long but I could not turn it off because I wanted to know what happened. Well written with lots of details that one could expect in every day life.

    Perfect movie for teens and adults alike. So many of us have become so dependent on our communication devices that we don't realize we stopped communicating face to face with words. People need communication to learn and understand one another's point of view.

    Awesome Movie

    Right from the start the movie grabs your attention. Actors and actresses did an amazing job. Well written. You really get caught up in storyline. Like you're there with them.

    The Text touches home for adults and teens. A wholesome family film. Reminds us that life can change in the blink of an eye. Phone addictions along with others can cause great problems in relationships and have deadly consequences. The Text should be required before getting a drivers license.

    The Text really touches home for the majority of the populations. A lot of us have replaced human contact for a cell phone. A movie worth it's weight in Gold.

    • Trivia
      The number one cause of delays in filming THE TEXT in 2021 was ...... lawnmowers! In fact, on 3 different occasions, lead actor, Erandy would walk to whoever was mowing their lawn. He would kindly explain that we were filming a movie and needed silence around us. He would offer the person $20.00 if they would stop mowing until we finished. On every occasion, they were kind enough to stop and give us time to finish, and never once did anyone accept payment.
