The film was largely independently made. It did not involve any large Hollywood studios (or any for that matter). It was made on a pretty small budget. Rick Delano is a traditional Catholic, and just happens to live in the LA area. He was in the music business previously (in finance I think). Rick kept very tight control of the content of the film. The only Hollywood guy involved is another Catholic who was part of promoting The Passion of Christ. It was a small enough production that until recently no one even knew about it. Now that it is going to release, more Hollywood channels need to be consulted. Rocky Mountain Pictures is an independent distribution channel.
