“Stop cursing the darkness and light a cinematic candle”
That’s what one man decided to do recently. Philip Anschutz, a business man from Colorado, went into the film business to make movies that “were not only entertaining, but also carried strong moral messages.”

Among his films is one I enjoyed immensely, the recent Oscar-winner about the life of the late Ray Charles, called Ray. He made the popular family films Because of Winn-Dixie and Holes. Still in production are treatments of children’s classics: Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia. And Anschutz is sparing no expense in making The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which hits the box office in the fall. If it’s a hit, Anschutz may film the rest of the Narnia books.
