Welcome to Name Sake Pictures

The Justice Coalition

The Justice Coalition project has been a very tense production, as Ann Dugger, the executive director of the organization, would attest. Between the actors' distress at having to relive some of their most painful memories and the naiivety of certain crew members, God is the only one who can be glorified in the success of producing this short film.

The Gospel Lighters

The Gospel Lighters shoot was a wonderful chance to work closely with another ministry whose goal is to point people to Christ. The Gospel Lighters is a prison ministry based in St. Augustine, Florida. Their mission is to "actively seek the transformation of prisoners' hearts, dependance, trust, and hope in God through Jesus Christ, who lives in us by the Holy Spirit, and to extend those transformations into the families and the communities involved." Their vision is "that our hope, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit in us, His transforming grace, and truth be manifested in the lives of prisoners and their families. Gospel Lighters commit to partner in Christ's work to restore prisoners to the Church, Community, and Kingdom as part of the body of Christ."

Elizabeth and Gary's Wedding

The Refuge Group

 

This is the very first ministry video, strictly made into a short film. No talking heads. No interviews. This film walks you through the life of Tyler, a young man struggling with his family and drug abuse, until he sought the help of The Refuge Group. Now watch how his life turned around .

Ministries that hire NPS to make their films have to understand that it takes time, dedication, and a desire to use this wonderful tool for their benefit. Most non-profits hire me to use the film for their banquets. But, with technology and internet, we know that the video can be used on their website and social media networks. The pursue is to take advantage of your ministry video.
