Great American Family will premiere eight new movies this summer as part of its first-ever "Great American Summer" event beginning Saturday, Aug. 5, the network says.
The family-friendly Great American Family network has geared up to release its second original film following its merger with the faith-based streaming platform Pure Flix.
Two of the largest and most trusted companies in family entertainment are merging. Pure Flix and Great American Media announced on Thursday the signing of an agreement to merge the two companies, saying it will benefit the faith and family audience and “provide an opportunity for each platform to reach a larger and broader audience.”
The Christian streaming service Pure Flix has more than doubled its membership in the past two years, even as mainstream services such as Netflix and Disney Plus have lost members, according to new data from company executives who attribute the growth to society’s need for hope-filled content.
A 24-year-old actor with Down syndrome who stars in a new Pure Flix/Karen Kingsbury series says he wants to encourage people with disabilities and for audiences to know that “God is there for you.”
Pure Flix CEO Michael Scott says he's heard the frequent criticism of Christian movies as being "cheesy."
"Especially years ago, I'd hear it even more and more – 'Oh, it's cheesy, it's not that good, the acting is terrible,'" Scott told Christian Headlines.
Scott, though, believes Christian movies have improved dramatically over the years. His company, available at PureFlix.com, offers a family-friendly Netflix-style streaming service with titles that are void of the sex, violence and coarse language that litter mainstream content.
The faith-based streaming service Pure Flix will debut around 20 original titles in 2023, an increase from the roughly dozen that launched in 2022, the company's CEO says.
Michael Scott recently talked to Christian Headlines about why he believes Christians should focus on taking in films that are drawing them closer to god.
Sony Pictures recently announced that they will be purchasing the faith-based streaming service, PureFlix.
