(Naples, Fla. – November 19, 2009) – “The River Within”, the latest release from Cloud Ten Pictures, joins Sky Angel’s outstanding Video On Demand movie selections beginning today. The film will be available under Movies > Drama for $3.99.
“The River Within,” a debut project from writer/director Zac Heath, tackles some of life’s largest questions. Protagonist Jason returns home from law school seeking a quiet place to study for his upcoming bar exam, but is pressured into becoming a youth pastor. Suddenly his world, and his presumed place in it, are turned upside down and he finds himself haunted by the question: 'What am I doing here?' “The River Within” explores relationships between father and son, pastor and congregant, and God and man; and broaches head-on the age-old human dilemma of discerning God’s plan.
“We are excited to offer yet another great title from Cloud Ten Pictures. “The River Within” joins a terrific list of faith-based and family-friendly titles on our growing Video On Demand platform and Cloud Ten is a wonderful friend in that pursuit,” said Darren Moorman, Vice President – On-Demand Programming.
