Film Premiere at Local Church

Lancaster, PA – Immanuel Free Reformed Church of Shoeneck will host a free public showing of the locally produced documentary, A Defense of God’s Law. The 70 minute film will be shown on Friday, May 18th at 7 pm. A Defense of God’s Law presents arguments for and against the relevance of biblical law.

A Defense of God’s Law is the first feature length documentary by Scott Eash, a local Christian filmmaker. He began work on the project when he noticed that Christians lacked a concise and understandable resource on the subject. “A lot of Christians don’t know what to think about the Law of God,” says Scott. “There are some great books that address the issue, but these are largely inaccessible to the average person. They are often difficult to understand or too thick for most Christians to grasp.” Since most people are not interested in reading a 900 page book on the Law of God, Scott decided to produce a film that would cover all angles in a relatively short amount of time. “There was a lot to cover in a mere 70 minutes,” he says, “but I think this film will be a good introductory resource that will benefit many.”

Eash began producing the film in September of 2005. The eighteen month long production schedule forced Scott to wear many hats including writer, director, producer, editor, artist, animator, and on-screen host. “I worked with a small crew,” he says, “but they all worked hard to get the job done. I’m very pleased with their work.”

Scott Eash began filmmaking at the age of 10. He made many short films including Consider God’s Creation, a nature film. A Defense of God’s Law is his first feature length documentary. DVD copies will be available at the public showing and at Christian retailers across the country and on the web.

Immanuel Free Reformed Church is located at the crossroads in the old Shoeneck fire hall. For more info about the film, visit the film's webpage. Tickets are not required, but come early to get a good seat.
