Wow. I'm not sure what to think after seeing that trailer.
To paraphrase Gamaliel... if this is not of God, it will come to nothing. But if it IS of God, nothing and no-one will stop it from succeeding.
In the end, time will reveal all things.

I believe God works in mysterious ways, and He's demonstrated that to me in my own life.
I dont have enough information here to say that what this man is doing is not of God.

It's Star Wars meets the Ten Commandments. A $50 million, no, make that $100 million futuristic fantasy film (with funding coming from "the Germans") that a San Francisco pastor said he was commanded to make by that Studio Chief in the Sky. The story would be far too weird to believe had doc filmmaker Michael Jacobs not captured it all on film.
He played his Audience of One at last weekend's True/False Festival (which, quick pitch, is the hippest festival in the UNIVERSE and, quick disclaimer, I do some writing for), continuing a festival run that includes wins at the Bend, SXSW, Silverdocs and SFDoc fests.
Our hero is Pentecostal Pastor Richard Gazowski, who seems to spend much of his Sunday sermon preaching the gospel of big-budget indie cinema. He watched his first movie at 40, has never directed anything, but anticipates making the biggest blockbuster ever. One thing going for Gazowski: He's persuasive enough to talk a bunch of people in working for him (and his wife agrees to sell their house to cover a trip to Italy to shoot the exterior scenes).
As he stalks the Italian set wearing an outfit that could have been lifted from a spoof of Orson Welles, Gazowski wrangles with his neglected actors (found via Craigslist), leads prayer sessions and urges on his design crew to create ever-more-wacked futuristic costumes and sets. Anyone who has seen Burden of Dreams, Lost in La Mancha or Hearts of Darkness knows how this narrative unfolds: Everything goes wrong. When Gazowski returns home, he and his quest to make the movie gets weirder. And weirder. And funnier
Wow........they need to dump him and let his daughter pastor...I'd join in a heart beat

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
It's my understanding that he received money from his late father's estate but it appears that he had to sell his home to finance his movie....if true he's a lunatic.
Even a home in San Francisco wouldn't make a very big dent in a 198 million dollar movie. The guy is a NUT!
