Join us for the inspirational movie based on true life events. This movie celebrates adoption, forgiveness and love.

Lifemark is a 2022 American Christian drama film by director Kevin Peeples, adapting the true story of the adoption of David Scotton, previously depicted in the 2018 short documentary film I Lived on Parker Avenue. It tells the story of how a young man's mother considered aborting him, but instead made an adoption plan for him, and later reconnected with him as a young adult. Kirk Cameron, Alex Kendrick, and Raphael Ruggero star, while the Kendrick Brothers co-wrote the script with Peeples and act as executive producers.

Rated PG 13. Themes appropriate for older children. No graphic content.

As a pregnant teenager in 1993, Melissa is preparing for an abortion to end her unwanted pregnancy, when at the very last minute "She told the doctor, 'I can’t do this.'" Instead, she chooses to deliver her son and place him for adoption, where he is adopted by the Colton family of Louisiana. Eighteen years later, Melissa reaches out to David through the adoption agency, leading to their connection on social media and ultimately meeting face-to-face.

We are making this film available free of charge, firstly as we want to get the message out there, and support the film. Upon attending, we want to encourage you to share it with others and encourage them to attend.

However, we have a bigger vision, and that is to see a new generation of film-makers raised up who can share a message of love, hope and compassion around the world. Hence why we will ask that make a donation to not only cover the cost of the film but also to see fund the festival for next year. If you know someone who will be in high school in 2023 and would be interested in the film festival they can register at www.nxtgenfilmfestival.com

We value your support. We aim to screen movies which celebrate Christian values and beliefs and aim to promote hope, love and peace in our world.
