Spencer T. Folmar’s faith-based drama has gotten some attention because of its foul language and disturbing themes including alcoholism and child abuse. But despite those potentially provocative elements (provocative, at least, for the genre), Generational Sins proves a dull, sluggish effort that doesn’t avoid a single cliche. Notable only for Daniel MacPherson’s strong performance in the central role, the film should please neither those looking for secular nor religious fare.
The story concerns two siblings: the bitter, angry Drew (MacPherson) and his happy-go-lucky, rakish younger brother Will (Dax Spanogle, who also co-wrote the screenplay). The prologue, set twenty years in...

An upcoming faith-based film is attempting to go where no previous movie from the genre has ever gone.
Generational Sins — directed by Spencer T. Folmar and written by Folmar, Dax Spanogle, Jason Spanogle, Casey Salviano and Fernando Salviano — is overflowing with profanity, including multiple uses of "f—," "shit," "bitch," "dick" and "ass."
It's a huge departure compared to recent faith-based successes like God's Not Dead, which took in $60 million in 2014 and contained just one objectionable word: "crap." Generational Sins is about child abuse, alcoholism and, ultimately, redemption through Jesus Christ, and it could be in the...

Sierra Holmes, who won over the hearts of America on VH1's Scream Queens, has just booked her first leading role in a horror film entitled Prey to God from Blood and Guts Productions. Back on Scream Queens, Sierra Holmes was the perfect combination of beauty and brains as she always seemed to offer the most insightful commentary as to whatever was happening on the show or into the other actresses performances. She started out in the bottom two for two weeks in a row, but quickly turned it around to come in first place one week during the show's run. She eventually ended up finishing in fifth place on the show.
In Prey To God, Monica and Jeff are in love - what better location than the very campgrounds where her parents first met? They eagerly depart, best friends Kaitlyn and Randy and her little brother, Steven, in tow.

Stephen Corron is the director of the short film Puzzled (2010) starring Madge Levinson and Athena Prychodko. Stephen Corron started out as a production assistant (aka coffee runner) for Shane Michaels's Blood & Guts Productions eventually moving up to directing duties with Puzzled. Puzzled finds an elderly lady who gets a mysterious package one night containing a puzzle. As she puts it together, the pieces unveil a startling secret. Here's what Stephen had to say about his short film.
So who is Stephen Corron and what is he all about?
I consider myself a small town misfit with big ambitions. I have grown up around all kinds of entertainment, including theatre, talent shows, working in a video store, and a family that endorses art in all forms. In 2009, Shane Michaels of Blood and Guts Productions invited me to help him with his short films and have slowly gained more responsibilities in the company.
