I was invited to a blogger event last week where I was able to hear the T.C. Christensen (director) and Darin Southam (star) of Ephraim’s Rescue talk about this new release from Excel Entertainment. T.C. Christensen also directed 17 Miracles.
Synopsis
From T.C. Christensen, director of the sensational pioneer film, 17 Miracles, comes the heroic true story of a simple man who was called to do the work of angels. Ephraim’s Rescue relates the story of Ephraim Hanks: a rescuer of the Martin Handcart company.
Follow Ephraim as his adventures lead him to join the LDS Church and ultimately to one of the most heroic rescues in American history. With a unique desire to help andstrengthen others, Ephraim learns that each choice we make can prepare us for what lies ahead. He discovers, through it all, that decisions determine destiny.

Starring
Darin Southam as Ephraim Hanks
Darin’s passion for acting started with a play in his 7th grade drama class and has evolved into a career, with roles that span from indie films, such as Last Man(s) On Earth, to Disney’s Halloweentown High, Discovery Channel’s I Shouldn’t Be Alive, and Fox’s 127 Hours. A former student of Playhouse West in North Hollywood (Jeff Goldblum, James Franco, Michelle Pfieffer, etc.)
Darin enjoys the method of digging deep into the characters he portrays. At heart, Darin is a family man with a wife and 3 young children; he hopes his performance as Ephraim Hanks in T.C.’s Ephraim’s Rescue will elevate his opportunity to pursue what he truly loves to do – act in film.

Hey! I’m old.
Looks like a great film. I was excited to see they are doing a screening in Logan. That is very do-able for me.

I would love to see another film by T.C. Christensen! It’s getting so hard to see good quality movies lately, and it would be great to have a movie that I can take all my kids to see. (That is after I take my hubby to the special showing…) :o)
Thanks for doing this!

Love T C Christiansen’s work! Can’t wait to see this one.
I’d love to see this movie! :)
My husband and I are missionaries here from Canada and love serving and living in downtown Salt Lake City.
We once had the opportunity to listen to and meet TC. He is impressive and uses his gifts to instruct as well as edify the rest of us. Bless you, TC for your vision.
Having never been to a premier before, this would be a FANTASTIC experience to round out our mission experience of 17 months.
Please choose us for the Gateway Theater Premier.
We are fans and would be so grateful and excited!
Will the movie be shown anywhere other than Utah? Can you tell me if the movie will be shown in Vancouver, WA? Is the video available to purchase?
