Apostle to the Delaware:
The Story of David Zeisberger
This exciting docudrama tells the story of David Zeisberger, the 18th century Moravian missionary to the Delaware. Zeisberger succeeded in his relationship with the Delaware where others had failed due to his unswerving respect and compassion. As the Revolutionary War and expansion of the population of the new nation squeezed the Delaware from their ancestral lands, Zeisberger fought for their rights. A coproduction of Inspirata Films, Comenius Foundation, and Fairfield Museum in Ontario, Canada.

Wesley
A feature film developed in cooperation with The Christian History Institute and Inspirata Films.
Principal phtography is complete fo Wesley! For up-to-date information on the film, visit the movie web site at www.founderypictures.com
The true story of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, is one of adventure and drama beyond the imagination of Hollywood scriptwriters. This feature film has the adventure of Master and Commander and the bittersweet romance of a Sense and Sensibility.
Set in the early eighteenth century, the film follows the young Wesley, an earnest but somewhat misguided young Anglican priest as he seeks to earn his own salvation through good works. His experiences -- an encounter with a terrible storm at sea, a star-crossed romance in Georgia, an encounter with Moravian missionaries -- lead him to finally abandon his self-sufficiency and experience the free grace of God. His subsequent ministry to the poor and downtrodden of England was controversial and changed the face of the nation -- and the United States in its early days.
