A Message from Grace-Based Films

As our Grace-Based Films' team reflects on the journey that has been "A Case for Love," we are overwhelmed with gratitude by the support we have received. THANK YOU for making this national release happen! Your presence not only made these screenings special but also marked the beginning of a mission that is more important than ever.

The verdict for "A Case for Love" is not a final one--it's an invitation to a personal ongoing journey. As we move forward, let's carry the message of unselfish love into our own individual circles. Share stories of compassion, amplify the voices of those who selflessly serve their communities, and strive to bridge the divides that threaten to pull us apart.

WHAT NOW?  The mission has just begun, and each and every one of you is an integral part of it. Join us in spreading unselfish love, fostering understanding, and building bridges. Let's make "A Case for Love" an ongoing journey, and let's make a difference together! To be among the first to learn about future plans visit acaseforlovemovie.com and Grace-Based Films, sign up for the newsletter found on the website!

During the next month, everyone across the country is invited to perform daily acts of selflessness and journal those moments. Join us as we put unselfish love front and center for the world to see! Download the "Month of Unselfish Love" Journal below:
