Mill Creek Entertainment
announced its first wave of priced-to-collect Blu-ray and DVD product offerings
for the month of March, 2019.
Arriving on Mar. 12 is
the double-feature Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (with Digital Copy) presentation
titled “Faith Double Feature.”
Included in this priced
to collect Combo Pack is director Jim Huggins’ heartfelt — and true-life — tale
of a broken man named David (Chris Faherty) who encounters a homeless and
abused German Shepherd and they become friends … each healing the other in
turn.
The film is titled Footprints
and is based on actual events … seven of the dogs used in the film were rescued
animals and Huggins production was entire funded by volunteers (some 500 people
participated in the production of the film).
Teamed with it is
director Michael Spence’s 2008 orphaned-wolves story, Friends for Life. Jim (Michael Flynn) has just lost his wife
and is in deep despair. In something of
a miracle, he is visited by an angel (played by Jimmy Chunga), who opens his
eyes to a world around him that is full of beauty … a world of wonder that he
has all but ignored.
He soon discovers a wolf
nursing four cubs and comes to her aid, but tragedy strikes and he suddenly
finds himself father to the cubs … this “fatherhood” will once again bring
meaning to his life.
Look to Mar. 5 for the
DVD debut of writer/director Rory Johnston’s magical family-friendly film, Guard
Dog.
Chance Watson (Oscar
Limon-Zarzosa) is a nine-old kid who is acting out after the death of his
mother. He lies, he’s flunking at
school and stealing things has become a habit, but then he is visited by a sheepdog,
a magical dog, who can talk! The dog
tells him that Chance’s dreams will come true if he follows the rules and
changes his ways … and soon enough he goes from brat to A-student, who helps
those around him. But is the dog
real? Has Chance gone off the deep end?
Following in the theme of
faith-based films, and also making its DVD debut on Mar. 5, is director Adam
Dufour’s film festival award-winner and recipient of the Dove Foundation's Seal
of Approval, To be a Soldier, which is inspired by actual events.
Gregory Kirk (Jacob
Dufour — Saving Faith, The Redemption of Benjamin Black) is a British
insurance salesman whose sister has gone missing in the Middle East. He is ill-equipped to go looking for her,
especially if his worst fears are realized … she may have willingly joined
ISIS. He decides to pose as a
journalist and then recruits a broken-down ex-Army Ranger by the name of Bryce
(T.L. Bridger) to aid in his mission.
It may well be a suicide
mission, but off they go, encountering terrorists and extreme conditions along
the way. To be a Soldier is in many
ways a tale of redemption and somewhat unexpected in its delivery, especially
for a Dove Foundation promoted film.
