Here’s the trailer for the Live Not By Lies movie:

It’s finally here! I owe you readers who contributed to the fundraising a couple of years ago a special debt of gratitude. Whatever good this film does, it is thanks in part to you believing in the project enough to back it with your donations.

The film will be available on Angel Studios’ app platform starting April 1. It plays out in four episodes, with a new one dropping each week. Not sure what distribution will be like after that; I’m not in the business end of things. I’m in the US right now about to start (tomorrow) a tour of various cities doing Q&A at advance screenings. The director of the movie, Isaiah Smallman, will be with me for most of these, I think. What an incredible job he has done, as well as producers David Jacobson and R.J. Moeller.

Watch the trailer and tell me what you think in the comments!

Gang, I have been insanely busy for the past week, doing the press tour in France, and now on this schedule here for the movie. Please forgive me if posting is jagged, and if I don’t answer emails or messages. I’m honestly overwhelmed.
