The Multitude: "Modern Icons" for the Digital Age

Imagine a different kind of icon: a living, breathing image for the digital age.

Gary Gasse is the director of the new Multitude film series which aims to bring the saints to life like never before. Some of the stories he plans to tell are those of St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Edith Stein, Bl. Bartolome Blanco Marquez, Fr. Stanley Rother, and Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha.

“We want to tell the stories of a different type of hero: the men and women who gave their lives in radical sacrifice for the sake of love.

Hear the voices of the saints and experience their lives. Listen to their wisdom, and allow yourself to be taken up in their joys, their sufferings, and ultimately their victories.

The Multitude is a series of short films that tell the stories of incredible men and women who lived radical lives for Christ. These films are about real people who served the poor, thirsted for justice, were peacemakers and were persecuted because of their love.

We’ve been working on The Multitude for over a year, and so far we have filmed four out of the fifteen episodes. We are well on our way, but we need funding to make these films live up to the lives of the people they portray. We don’t want to put out anything we aren’t proud of. We want these films to be the best work we’ve ever done.

Our hope is that these films will inspire you to live for Christ with heroic virtue. There is massive potential here: there are thousands of unbelievable, incredible stories that could be translated into truly moving films.

Please help us bring these and many other awesome stories to life!

To make the project happen, they need some help. Check out their website, JoinTheMultitude.com, and if you can donate a few bucks over at their Kickstarter page to help bring these stories to life.
