Biography
CHRISTIAN FILMWORKS magazine was created by Christian filmmaker John Martin. John lives in Medina, Ohio and began making films in 1972 at the age of 16. He shot in 8mm and Super 8 format. For 8 years he made horror films. Then, in 1980, John became a Christian and by 1981 he had already produced his first Christian film under the name Exodus Film Productions.
Since then, John has made several Christian films that have been shown at various churches, Bible studies and Christian groups. John has been featured on the radio and in newspapers several times discussing his film ministry over the years.
In 2001, now working under the name of New Parable Films, the Lord gave John a vision to produce what he called “video-tracts”. These are a new alternative to traditional Christian paper tracts. They are short video presentations of the Gospel message, followed by an on-screen invitation by John.
Also in 2001, John set up his website which features complete information on all of his videos and other information regarding his film ministry.
“I will continue to produce Christian “movies with a message” until the Lord directs me differently,” says John.
