    A well-made indie film on a must see subject

    So many times you expect indie films to be somewhat lacking in the acting & production value, but this is not the case with this film. Not only is this a relevant topic in today's phone zombie society, but it was very well made. The cinematography is very professional & the script was well written. I had the opportunity to see this film twice & it was even better the second time around. You won't be disappointed. It's a must see film for everyone.

    My favorite part was when a certain someone returns home. Another fun segment was the "dream sequence" that you don't realize is a dream until it's over. Fun twist. And the neighbor mom was an amazing actress...very believable. You'll just have to watch to see what I mean. Well done, gang!

    ENTERTAINING and EDUCATIONAL for the FAMILY

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great Film

    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!

    • 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.
