Mount Zion Films Claim Awards at Houston Film Festival
Fri Jun, 26 2009

By Shola Oyeyipo

 

In far away Houston Texas, USA, at the recently concluded 42nd Annual World fest Houston International Film Festival, where more than 4,300 category entries competed from 33 countries, two of the latest Mount Zion movies won two top awards from the Television and Cable Production Award Category under Television Dramatic series.

The Broken Pitcher won the Gold Remi Award, while The Prodigal ones under the same category won Silver Remi Award.

The Broken Pitcher shot in March and The Prodigal Ones shot in September 2008 were mainly shot in Dallas, Texas; with few scenes of both films shot in Nigeria. Both films were joint productions of Mount Zion Film productions, Nigeria and Northward Film Productions, of RCCG Household of Faith, Arlington, Texas. The Broken Pitcher was written and directed by Mike Bamiloye, while the prodigal Ones were jointly written by Mike Bamiloye and Margaret Anenih.

The award notification letter written and signed by J. Hutter Todd, Chairman and Founding Director partly read thus: Dear Worldfest 2009 Award winner, on behalf of the staff and board of Directors and the Grand Award jury of the 42nd Annual Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival, we wanted to personally thank you for being part of this year’s festival award competition and to offer our personal congratulations for your wonderful Remi award on your outstanding creative effort”

To receive the awards at the Worldfest-Houston office in Dallas, few days after the award night, Mount Zion Films Production, Nigeria was represented by Chris and Margaret Anenih from the Northward Film Production, RCCG Household of Faith, Arlington, Texas.

This is the third time, Mount Zion Films would win awards at the Annual World Fest-Houston International Film Festival; the first time being in 2005 with “Enemy of my soul”, and in 2007 with “Youthful lusts”.

The annual Worldfest-Houston international Film Festival is the oldest and largest film festival in North America and one of the World’s oldest and largest film and video competitions, established since 1961

I've not yet watched The Broken Pitcher, Mount Zion but am not surprised at the awards because Baba Mike,the wife& the other members of this Great Ministry sold their lives for years as a sacrifice for this great call.This is just a glimpse of your eternal rewards. Keep it up-Ficksburg, South Africa.

Now I realize that when God gives a vision, one should not hesitate to carry it out. See how rough things were for this ministry at their initial stage but today many souls have benefited from their relentless effort to publicize d gospel among these are some saints already in Heaven thro their work.

Mount Zion, pls keep on the 'good works'. You have been a true light in the midst of this darkness that has covered the earth through the film industry. I gave your films to people in the Congo to watch and they were tremendously blessed and their faith challenged. Where preachers cannot get to, your films does. May the Lord deepens your access to His grace and revelations in Jesus name. Amen
