Holy Ghost (2014)

Be Bold. Be Brave.

Can the Holy Spirit direct a movie? In this fast-paced documentary from the director of the popular films Finger of God, Furious Love, and Father of Lights, Darren Wilson sets out to make a movie that is completely led by the Holy Spirit. No plan, no script, no safety net--just go wherever he feels the Spirit leading him to try and discover the adventure God has for him. Whether it's the riches of Monte Carlo, a heavy metal concert, or the oldest city in the world, the result is a film that not only challenges and excites, but also reveals a God who is far more alive and active than you ever imagined.

Interesting facts

Holy Ghost is a 2014 American Christian documentary film written and directed by Darren Wilson, to take the viewer to locations around the world to see if the Holy Spirit can really lead a film.

Production

Filmmaker Darren Wilson, director of Father of Lights, Finger of God and Furious Love set out to make a movie that was completely inspired by the Holy Spirit. With no set plan, Wilson relied completely on spiritual guidance to lead him wherever the adventure is. He and his team journeyed around the world in search of nature and evidence of the Holy Spirit and to explore the role of the Holy Spirit in art, ministry and Christian life.

The filmmakers had sought $200,000 in financing through Kickstarter and exceeded their goal. The funding campaign began on April 18, 2014, and within 24 hours had raised $77,000. Within 48 hours they had reached $100,000, and exceeded $125,000 after five days. By June 1, 2014 the project had received $357,000.

The film did not rely on a shooting script. Director Wilson "was interested in letting the film build organically instead of having a rigidly pre-determined structure or set interviews." Production ended up with footage enough for two films. Based on having so much footage, a sequel, Holy Ghost Reborn, was released in late 2015.
