The Text

The Text is a feature film with several powerful messages. Heavy topics are explored in a family friendly way that doesn't diminish the gravity of the message. From published author and award winning filmmaker Candy Beard, the Text will inspire thought provoking conversations amongst those of all ages. Award winning cast, filmed and produced in the American heartland by a cast and crew with Christian ideals, and family values. I'm proud to have been part of consulting on the medical scene, and being able to support the production of this important piece of cinematography financially as well. The Text is more than just a movie, it's a warning call to action. Watch the Text... two thumbs way up!

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.

There are a number of stories within the story that the viewer may not be aware of at the time of viewing. But upon later reflection, there are many lessons that seem to come to the surface.

As one might suspect from the story title, The Text movie reminds the viewer of the dangers that might exist if texting while driving. Relationships and the complexities and heartaches that exist within them, as well as a strong thread of forgiveness, run throughout this very well-done story by Dreams Come True Candy Beard and her right-hand-man, son, Daniel Beard.

The plethora of strong actors take the viewer on the journey with them, allowing them to walk alongside and in the shoes of one or more of the characters. In this way, the viewing experience not only is enjoyable, but also an educational experience, providing topics for numerous future family discussions.

The movie is safe viewing for the entire family, other than perhaps young children who may possibly be traumatized by some events.

Well done Dreams Come True team!

I really enjoyed this movie. It was well written and directed. The actors and actresses were amazing and did their jobs very well. They did a very thorough job of making you feel "in the moment " during the movie. I know it was time consuming getting all the scenes together . My daughter played the part of young Rachel and really enjoyed "being a movie star ". She was treated with love and kindness from everyone she met during filming. I would love for her to be involved in more movies like this. It's a film that anyone would want to watch and share with friends or family. I've always loved movies that are not only entertaining but also carry life messages to the audience.

What a fantastic film with a great message. Everyone needs to see this and learn from it. Great acting and superb photgraphy and video work.

The film was done very professionally in Indiana. I have seen many of the areas that it was filmed at.

The Text keys on "texting and driving" which is one of the main reasons behind automobile fatalities in this era. Dont text and drive!

Enjoyed the entire plot and work the production team and actors put into this film. Hopefully this film saves lives by making people think twice before they pick up that cell phone to read or respond to a text message. Im sure it will.

Again great job! This film is a winner!
