Well-Known Actors Lead Set Apart
When you hear the names of successful actors, a certain key role usually comes to mind. For example, Richard Roundtree will always be associated with Shaft. For John Schneider, it's The Dukes of Hazzard. And for Jennifer O'Neill, it's her role in The Summer of '42.

Now, all three of these accomplished actors can be seen in a new movie coming to DVD on September 22, Set Apart. They were drawn in by the powerful, inspirational message of the script, which is based on real ministries run by brothers Randy and John Gunn.

"All the actors seemed truly appreciative to be part of the movie," says Randy Gunn, who plays himself in the movie. "They were all very professional and we learned quite a bit about the dos and don'ts of acting."

A Movie with a Purpose
So how do real-life ministries become a movie? Brad Wilson of Hemisphere Productions heard Randy and Heidi Gunn perform with their band GunnPoint at a Christian music festival. Hemisphere had just launched a new production arm called Power In Faith that was looking for ideas for great faith-based films.

After learning more about GunnPoint and its familial connection to the Power Company Kids Club, Power In Faith was intrigued. The potential for a film about the interaction of these two remarkable ministries could provide the material needed for an exciting and inspiring family film.

"The story they wanted to tell involved taking some troubled kids from the inner city and having us teach them the 'Cowboy Way,'" Randy says. "I told them about my brother John's ministry—the Power Company Kids Club—and what they do in the inner city."

From there, George Flynn, who has served with Randy and Heidi Gunn for years, wrote the script that became Set Apart. Now, the work of both ministries is about to be highlighted to movie fans everywhere!
