Advent Film Group (Advent) is an independent Christian film production and distribution company founded in 2007 by George D. Escobar and Michael Snyder. The company trains young Christians to be filmmakers, focusing on excellent storytelling and upholding a Biblical worldview. Advent's films include the 2009 drama Come What May, which starred Kenneth Jezek and his wife, Karen Jezek, and the 2014 historical drama Alone yet Not Alone, which was a work-for-hire project for Enthuse Entertainment. Advent's latest film, "HERO" was released in September 2014. The company is now in post-production with their latest feature film, The Screenwriters (set for a late 2016 release).
Advent Film Group has been endorsed by Michael Farris, founder and chancellor of Patrick Henry College (PHC); Graham Walker, president of PHC; and Michael Smith, president of Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA).
When George Escobar (former Vice President of Product Development for Discovery, Executive Director for AOL/Time Warner) attended the 2006 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, he met and spoke with Stephen Kendrick, co-founder of Sherwood Pictures (Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants). The conversation challenged him to rethink his entire career path, with the purpose of using his skills and talents for the glory of God. In January 2007, Escobar founded Advent Film Group, basing out of northern Virginia.
