On October 18th, my good friend Andrew Librizzi will be bringing his film Beyond the Farthest Star to theaters. Andy has been involved in several outreaches with us over the years in addition to owning a media production company. Andy is passionate about the gospel and uses his artistic gifts to communicate to the Body of Christ as well as to the lost. Beyond the Farthest Star is the culmination of his talent having wrote, directed and produced the film.
This is an overview of the story:
A twist of fate brings the national spotlight to a forgotten Texas town and a once famous preacher has an opportunity to regain his former glory or seize one last chance to restore his fractured family.
Narrated by his fifteen-year-old daughter, Beyond the Farthest Star tells the story of Pastor Adam Wells, a minister driven by the prospect of achieving greatness as the next nationally syndicated TV Evangelist who must decide whether to give up his opportunity at “celebrity” and, even his own life, in order to become something even greater…
A loving husband and father to his wife and daughter.
This is a quality production that I urge you to get behind. Robert and I were invited to see an early screening and we both left incredibly moved by the story and acting. This is one you don’t want to miss! Below is a message from Andy on how you can help and links to the Beyond the Farthest Star website.
Hey Everyone!
Cat and I are so excited about the upcoming release of Beyond the Farthest Star which will be in theaters October 18th of this year. I am very proud of and can’t wait for you to see this movie. It will not be like any faith-based movie you have ever seen. The MPAA ratings board actually called our office to tell us that BTFS is, according to the twelve member panel who viewed it, “Wonderful to the end… Majestic” and “the best faith-based movie ever!
God has opened so many doors for this movie including a painting by Thomas Kinkade, one of his last, a beautifully written book by best-selling authors Brock & Bodie Thoene and published by Harper/Collins, Crystal Lewis’ re-recorded of her mega-hit song, “Beauty for Ashes” and, most recently, we’ve learned that a song by NBC The Voice finalist Amber Carrington will appear in the movie. Amber also acts in the movie as Britney Number 3.
The Lord truly has blessed this film exceedingly abundantly beyond what we could have asked for or even imagined.
This project, as many of you know, has been a labor of love for Cat and I filled with challenges and blessings and, now, it’s in the hands of those who love us, and who appreciate great movies and cinematic parables which truly transcend the four walls of the church.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP US MAKE BTFS A SUCCESS…
First, if you haven’t yet, please check out the official BTFS trailer here…
If, after viewing the trailer, you think you’d like to help bring this movie to theaters this October, please go to the following link, find your theater and reserve tickets RIGHT AWAY…

Here’s why your EARLY TICKET RESERVATION is important and will help us BRING BTFS to your theater–
WE MUST HAVE 500 RESERVATIONS IN YOUR THEATER BY OCTOBER 4 FOR BTFS TO BE RELEASED IN YOUR THEATER ON OCTOBER 18TH.
If your theater doesn’t hit the 500 ticket reservation mark by the October 4th deadline, the movie will not play at that theater.
So we are encouraging all who want to see BTFS in theaters to, not only, reserve RIGHT AWAY but also to tell friends, family and church members to reserve as well. We have quite a few share tools on the site here…

Also, when you reserve now, your credit card will not be charged until October 4th and, in the meantime, you’ll get a complimentary copy of Crystal Lewis’ remake of “Beauty for Ashes” as our way of saying thank you.
If not theater is listed in your area, you can BRING BTFS by clicking the BRING THE MOVIE TO YOUR CITY button at www.seatzy.com/star
I think you’ll find this movie very emotional, very REAL and, in the end, beautiful. It needs to be seen by those within, but, more importantly, those without the four walls of the church. We don’t have the marketing budget to effectively get the word out through traditional marketing venues but we do have our faith in the God who does exceedingly abundantly beyond what can even be imagined and we have YOU!
PLEASE CHAMPION US!
Sincerely,
Andy
PS– I am available 24/7 to answer any questions you might have about the movie’s release and, if you’re interested, some behind-the-scenes stories about both the challenges and the blessing of this journey.
Thank you so much for your support!
