And to the 600+ cast and crew back in the Seattle area that made ‘Rogue Saints’ a success! And of course to Him who does exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think!!!” The purpose of the San Diego Christian Film Festival is to change the face of film with better stories, exceptional productions, and family-friendly movies the entire world can watch.

“Rogue Saints” is the story of what ensues when Nick and Dylan, two men down on their luck, set out to steal an enormous diamond hidden in the basement of a church. In an attempt to disguise their endeavor, they volunteer at the church, but something about the church and its members begins to affect them. As the duo bumbles their way through their plans, Nick and Dylan learn the people they are trying to deceive are actually what they both need – quirky and imperfect, but also loving and lovable – the family they’ve been missing.
“Rogue Saints” won the Taff Family Award at the 2012 Attic Film Fest which recognizes the best in Christian Independent Films. It is also an Official Selection at Gideon Film Festival, Projecting Hope, The Indie Fest and Kingdom Wood.
