The Next Sherwood Movie

From their first movie, Sherwood Pictures has been focused on more than entertaining moviegoers. Theirs is a true ministry endeavor. And each step along the way, they have seen the audiences grow and the impact enlarged with Flywheel, Facing the Giants and Fireproof.

After much prayer, creative brainstorming, more prayer, wise counsel, and still more prayer, Sherwood Pictures is ready to move ahead with their fourth motion picture.

On Sunday, November 15th, we will find out the movie’s title and its story line at www.thenextsherwoodmovie.com.
