COURAGEOUS – the next movie from Sherwood Pictures, makers of FIREPROOF – debuts nationwide Sept. 30, 2011, with an exciting story of the difference that dedicated fathers can make in the lives of their families. What FIREPROOF – the No. 1 independent film of 2008 – did to encourage couples to bring unconditional love to marriage, COURAGEOUS stands to do for parents and their children. The film will be distributed by TriStar Pictures, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

COURAGEOUS follows the lives of five men, four of them deputy sheriffs in Albany, Ga. A sudden and unexpected tragedy forces each man to consider what kind of father he has been . . . and just what God intends of fathers.


“My hope is that COURAGEOUS will cause men to re-think what success really is,” said Michael Catt, executive producer, and senior pastor of Sherwood Church, the ministry home of Sherwood Pictures. “Success in life is not in things, but in your most intimate relationships. You are successful if you have a strong faith, children who love you, and a wife who adores you.”

The Sherwood Pictures executive team is Sherwood Church Senior Pastor Michael Catt, Executive Pastor Jim McBride, and Stephen and Alex Kendrick. COURAGEOUS was co-written by Stephen and Alex, and directed by Alex, who also plays one of the law enforcement officers in the ensemble cast.

“LIKE DANDELION DUST beautifully captures the story I imagined when I first wrote the book. With this major motion picture, life-changing fiction becomes a life-changing film. I can’t wait for people around the country to see this amazing story that will challenge the way they think about the meaning of family and true love.”

–Karen Kingsbury, NY Times Bestselling Author of Like Dandelion Dust

“I am an adopted child. This movie resonates with me. It reminds me that a couple took me out of God- knows- what and placed me in their Christian home and raised me in the church. I’m grateful for a birth mom that didn’t have an abortion and did have the courage to give me up.”

–Michael Catt, Sr. Pastor, Sherwood Baptist Church

In 2006 videographer Fred Wilharm and his freelance writer wife, Sharon, went to the theater to see Facing the Giants.

“We were excited to see an independent Christian movie so well done,” says Sharon. “It inspired me to go home and write a screenplay.” She immediately wrote Class of 91, but it didn’t work out for them to produce it at that time.

Three years later, the Wilharms saw Fireproof and decided the time had come to produce their own movie.

Class of 91 makes its premiere on March 6 when churches in 17 states plus Canada will be hosting free Class of 91 Movie Premiere Events.
