Christian Film Maker - Glenn Bertelsen

Glenn is President and founder of Five TalentFilms Inc.. He has just finished his third feature entitled "My Angel." "My desire is to produce Christian movies that have a Sci-Fi edge to them, but to give God the credit for the supernatural elements in every story." So often we watch thrillers or science fiction movies that posses the supernatural, yet the source of power is usually aliens, demons or natural phenomenon. Our purpose is to entertain movie goers and direct them to the real source of power.

Although Glenn has two and a half years of film schooling, for the past 10 years he's been self taught. They say that you are only as good as your last film. Glenn says "You're better than your last film, just no one knows it yet."



Production Assistant - Dennis Schmidt

Dennis worked with Glenn on his last movie, The Choice, before signing on for My Angel. Setting up audio equipment for the Matthew 25 Project ministry made Dennis qualified to carry, assemble and tear down and pack all the equipment needed for filming the movies. Ten years of electronic technician work and an engineering degree from ASU doesn't hurt either.

If you'd like to help the Matthew 25 Project feed homeless people in transition, please go to www.matthew25az.com to find out how to volunteer and/or donate. You'll need to clear you calendar for the third Saturday of each month that you'd like to volunteer.

I also work with the Bridge. Please visit www.childhelp.org/programs/homeless to see their needs list.

You can contact me at matthew25az@yahoo.com to talk about how God has blessed me in making these movies and in serving in these ministries.
