| The Cast |
| Shane Andries as "Jake" |  | "Making a film is not about overcoming obstacles, it is the obstacles we overcome that make the film." |
|
| Lauren Nash as "Kate" |  | "Acting is simply living before a camera. By living as Kate, I cannot help but examine my own faith and its effects on my earthly relationships. The film is blessed by technicians, graced by its talent, and fortified by its organizers. I feel privileged to be a part of it." |
|
| Rachel Spears as "Sarah (Jr)" |  | "I am very happy to be involved with a christian movie, where I can spread the word of God. I am looking forward to viewing it at my christian school with my fellow classmates." |
|
| Mark Kamp as "Jefferson" |  | "God Rocks"
"Everything does happen for a reason, but sometimes those reasons take years to surface." |
|
| William Brown as "Pastor Daniel Jr" |  | |
|
| Arlana DiGiovanni as "Iris" |  | "Life is full of trials. No better way, but to grow with Christ. You are never alone......"Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10. Seek your relationship with Christ. Call out to him, he is there. Prayer is so powerful!!" |
|
| Mollie Anderson as "Helen" |  | "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. If you want to hear God's voice you must be willing to listen. I believe this film shows how God can reach each of us in different ways through any medium that he chooses. He looks at every one of us individually and understands our needs and our wants. It is a joy to be a part of a plan to reach people and deliver his message. I hope and pray that this film reaches every single person that needs to hear the 'Truth'." |
|
| Eric Michael Simon as "Jake Jr" |  | |
|
| Darryl Madison as "Jim" |  | "It was a pleasure playing a role in this film about faith. It has been faith that allowed this wonderful crew and actors to complete a film worthy of viewing and spiritual exploration. One thing to remember, in life the faces may change but the stories remain the same. Stories that you can relate to stories that all have a bit of you in it." |
|
| Cindy Miller-Ray as "Patty" |  | "It has been my belief for several years that the Lord is raising up Christian artists to spread His message of hope and redemption. And what could be more perfect than a movie titled "The Message" which is about that very thing! I am honored and humbled to be a part of this great project." |
|
| Cesar Navarro as "Frank" |  | |
|
| Stephanie Parker as "Sarah" |  | "I am always amazed at the many ways God just shows up. Fact is, we are the ones who keep changing, but God is the same today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow. God will always meet us exactly where we are. To be invited and share in this experience has been such a privilege but bigger than that, knowing that God orchestrated the giftings amongst the few of us to collaborate in such a way to deliver His message...Well that is just so God." |
|
| Pastor David as "Pastor Daniel" |  | "Being a part of "The Message" has been a wonderful experience. The leaders of this project have a desire to help people overcome tragedy and heart ache by experiencing the love of God. As a pastor I believe that it is only through the love of Christ that true healing, forgiveness, and growth is realized. It is my hope that many (maybe you) will experience God's love through this film, overcome the obstacles in your life, and go out and show God's love to someone else."

| The Crew |
Liss Cartagena: "Producer
Executive Producer" |  | "We come from nothing and will return to nothing, but it is that opportunity of life we are given by God, when we can leave our footprint for others to follow." |
|
William Cartagena: "Producer
Executive Producer" |  | "This film is dedicated to a very important person in our lives, our mothers... They are our gift from God." |
|
| Ben Rosa: "Director" |  | "Being part of a film that can serve as a vehicle to help spread a positive, spiritual message is an honor, and to be able to influence at least 1 person in the process... an achievement." |
|
| Jamie Parslow: "Assistant Director" |  | |
|
| Evan Zissimopulos: "Director of Photography" |  | "As a cinematographer, I look for a project that challenges me to suspend the disbelief of my viewers and open their eyes to an alternate vision of reality. This may include a world completely taboo to the viewer and myself alike, thus forcing me to reinvent myself to gain the ability to package that world in a visual context that they will understand." |
|
| Marcus Smith: "Associate Producer" |  | "What I find intriguing about this film is that no matter who you are, where you are, where you came from or where you're going, God will find a way to send you His message. He speaks to our hearts and minds through a language we can understand, and his message is "I love you". I am excited to see how God speaks to all of us through this film, and how hearts and lives can be changed by one simple act of obedience to let people know that God is real and God is here." |
|
| Joe Navarro: "Writer" |  | "There are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, we all have a destiny. It is our responsibility to embrace our destiny with an open heart and an open mind. God loves us unconditionally, he is constantly sending us messages to let us know that he loves us and its about time for us to reciprocate the feeling." |
|
| Steve Baudry: "Screenwriter" |  | "I was excited to work on Message from the day I heard about the fantastic story that Joe had created. My hope is that this movie reaches as wide an audience as possible and opens doors both to us as filmmakers and to the Church as soul-winners. I believe that God's power will reach the masses using us and this movie as a vessel." |
