Crystal Creek Media is an independent film production company that specializes in faith-based and family films. It was founded in 2005, and after producing several short films and promotional videos, began its venture into full-length films. Some of their most noteworthy films are Creed of Gold and the forthcoming Rather to be Chosen.
The company also runs a filmmaking training program for highschool students and a regional filmmaking networking event.
History
Founded in 2005, Crystal Creek Media quickly began producing short films and promotional videos. After completing production for several short films and commercial projects, such as a promotional for the Titan Century 5000 disaster relief unit (marketed to the United States Department of Homeland Security), plans were begun for a feature film. With investors attracted and story concept approved, a script was soon in the making. Since then the company has done a number of feature films in the family and faith-based genre.
Film festivals
Crystal Creek's recent film, Creed of Gold, was shown at several film festivals, it was nominated for an Adam Award for best feature drama at the Sabaoth International Film Festival in Milan, Italy.[1] Creed of Gold was also featured in the H2F2 film festival and won a Redemptive Storyteller Award at the Redemptive Film Festival.[2] Christmas Grace won a Stellae Award for best "4 to 14" film at the 6th annual Pan Pacific Film Festival in Los Angeles.[3]
