Set Apart on DVD Sept 22
NASHVILLE—July 20, in the year of our
Lord 2009—SET APART, the family action-comedy-drama
debuting Sept. 22 on DVD, unites Jennifer O’Neal (Summer of
’42), John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard), Richard
Roundtree (Shaft) . . . and rodeo stars Randy and Heidi
Gunn as themselves.
The SET APART story—urban LA meets the big,
wide rodeo West—is for families and Christian groups. Already
it’s standing out as a great Christian movie night and natural
event draw. In this study-in-contrasts story, three teens and a
younger brother grudgingly leave their dangerous city streets
for a new world of real friendships and true faith. Through
adventures and misadventures, they find common ground in God’s
love and forgiveness.
Guns and Hip-Hop, Love and Lassoes
Rey, Korina, Marcus, and Anthony are city kids who know only the
cunning and deceit needed for urban survival. Amazingly, Pastor
John Gunn (Schneider) and his Power Company Kids’ ministry,
planted right in the city, are watching out for them. Gunn is
aware that in the race for their souls, the city is about to
win. Desperate, he asks his brother and sister-in-law, Randy
and Heidi Gunn, to transport these kids to “the Cowboy way.”
Picture it: a week ago, Rey was hanging with his gang; now he’s
cleaning stalls in a horse barn. Yesterday Korina was being
recruited for prostitution; today she’s competing on horseback.
SET APART is the excitement of today’s West
with the fun of a contemporary comedy as three teenagers (and
one pre-teen) who think they know the ropes are forced to think
again. And prospects start looking up until gang members track
them down.
“Families and churches are hungry for entertainment that opens
kids and adults to a positive experience and a good message,”
said Kris Fuhr, marketing vice president for Provident Films.
“Churches are looking for films like SET APART
to confidently build a movie night around. Parents like the
conversation it opens about risk, about what’s right, about true
friendship and how to look at life.”
