The Text

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.

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 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.

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!

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!
