Then you will have plenty of time: a full 30 days to watch. There are 2 epic films-- one a quite long documentary about my journey following revival glory and failure and the return of Todd Bentley.
The second film is a 30 minute series of interviews on the beginning days of the outpouring. This includes interviews with Bob Jones, Rick Joyner, Todd Bentley, Jermey Lippe, Heather Clark, Sharnael Wolverton. Basically it covers how the explosion of The Presence happened through an angel visiting Todd, and how that affected everybody else.
Here's a taster of my film, entitled Lakeland. It's a 52 minute documentary on The Lakeland Florida outpouring and the ministry of Todd Bentley. The Lakeland phenomenon began in April 2008, when an outbreak of the Holy Spirit began, and soon the entire charismatic Christian world was involved.
There were lots of reports of healing, visitations, miracles and other stuff you get during a revival.
Tens of thousands of people visited the revival in Lakeland, in a short burst of time -- the outpouring lasted about 90 days, before it dissipated. Many feel this was due to the sin in Todd's life, as he announced a divorce from his wife and was soon re-married to a former intern of his.
Filming took place in spurts from July 2008 to February of 2010. We had several delays and setbacks in the editing process, but the film is being mixed now.
We are planning several films to come out of this project, but this is the main one, and TVF International serve as our Sales Agents, and they are awesome, patient folks.
As the whole subject of revival, in particular Todd, carries with it a lot of controversy, I just wanted to state a few obvious points, which may or may not disappoint you depending on which tribe or belief system you come from:
1) This is not a miracle-driven testimonial film on how powerful the Florida Outpouring was or is. Sorry for this, really, I would have loved to have interviewed more people who experienced healing or salvation at the outpouring. While we do talk to people affected by the ministry there, the film is more of a journey through the revival.
2) The Film is not an expose or judgement of Todd, or his personal life, although obviously his life is touched upon, from the collapse of the Revival, and his restoration process. Personally, I believe Todd's still a genuine preacher/teacher/miracle worker and I have done my utmost not to dishonor the guy. (Although some feel differently in their review of the film).
3) Throughout the film we attempted to show all sides to the story, and to be more fair and balanced by Fox News- so therefore protestors and nay-sayers of charismatic life are included. As the protestors are part of the Body of Christ too, I just don't always agree with the ways the protest is expressed.
I have not been blogging. I've been facebooking, tumblr'ing, tweeting. But no updates to Free Donuts in the longest time.
Here are my top three excuses.
1) I've joined a GTD cult and I am only permitted to write on paper napkins, iCal or fidgety apps. And since Typepad does not do lists very well, there ya go.
2) I've been too busy working on this Todd Bentley Outpouring film (tentatively titled The Five Fingers of Glory, but that could change) and have been so caught up to the Third Heaven I haven't had time or inclination to blog.
3) Listening to obscure Genesis tracks on Spotify is so much more fun than blogging is.
