What did Marshall News Messenger report about Homeless Henry?
Marshall News Messenger reported that Marshall pastor Dr. Rickey Moore Sr. was cast in a lead role for GodZoneTV's faith-based series Homeless Henry. Marshall News Messenger reported that Moore will portray Thaddeus Walker, a pastor and mentor whose guidance helps shape young Henry and Billy, the man raising him.
Marshall News Messenger reported that producer and director Stuart Miller originally wrote the Homeless Henry story, later made about a 50-minute movie from the first script, and recently returned to the idea as a TV series. Marshall News Messenger reported that production began in mid-July in Waco, with filming primarily in Waco and Mart and some filming planned closer to Gilmer.
What did Deadline report about the festival partnership?
Deadline reported that the Zurich Film Festival and El Gouna Film Festival formed a strategic partnership for programming and other initiatives. Deadline reported that the alliance will begin at Zurich's Sept. 24 to Oct. 4 edition with the world premiere of Dolphins: My Close Encounters, followed by a MENA premiere at El Gouna from Oct. 15 to 26.
Deadline reported that ZFF CEO Christian Jungen called the partnership a win-win and said Zurich can help El Gouna access films and talent. Deadline reported that GFF Artistic Director Andrew Mohsen said the partnership will help create synergies for filmmakers across regions.
Why does this matter for faith and family producers?
Marshall News Messenger reported a faith series built around compassion, discipleship, hope, and God's love, while Deadline reported a festival partnership built around cross-region filmmaker access. FourBoys' faith-based films page sits in that same production lane: stories shaped by values, audience trust, and practical distribution paths.
