Through this project, we hope to instill important social and family values of faith, hope and love, through the challenges and stories of these colorful characters. Sonderman and its residents provide a great catalyst to explore complex issues, that can ultimately help people to know the person of Christ Jesus and the Gospel, regardless of previous life choices, current or past orientations, philosophies, gender identities or social-cultural or spiritual beliefs or influences. As Christ said, "I am the good Sheppard, and my sheep hear my voice and they follow me." Making the Gospel accessible, innovative, relevant and engaging to children, seniors, families and preteens through this quality 3D Animated production, will help children and families navigate complex challenges, doctrines and philosophies currently being promoted and advocated for, which are harmful and destructive to families and young audiences.

As Hank, Trina and the seniors rally around the cause of saving Sonderman Forest, the forest serves as an important beacon of hope and light in a town that has become increasingly complacent, hard hearted and fragmented. The Gentleman's Race helps to teach moral lessons and engage children and preteens on important issues relevant to Canadians today, including bullying, depression and anxiety, social and ethnic diversity, expression of religious freedom, advocating for the rights of children and seniors, environmental conservation and stewardship, and the role that mentors and seniors play in the lives of children and functioning, healthy families. This production provides a meaningful narrative and forum for Canadians to learn about the role and structure and function of small Canadian towns that have been reshaped or destroyed through development and a lack of stewardship and vision.

We've completed most of pre-production and are heading into production, meaning that we're ready to start creating 3D characters and environments, and animate, texture, light and render and bring the storyboards, scripts and artwork to life! This takes time, money and specialized talent and labor to make it happen.
