The Text is a film that needs to be seen by anyone who drives! It is a story that shows how one moment can change the life's of many people. It is also a Christian film and shows the importance of forgiveness. The cast has wonderful chemistry and the writing, cinematography and editing are second to none! There are also several original musical scores throughout. The Text is just one of the finest independently made films you will find today! You will never regret sitting down to watch these life lessons unfold before your eyes. It should be required to be seen by all young adults learning to drive.

The Text should be shown in all schools as a reminder of what consequences that actions can have. This film was beautifully written and easy to get into the story. It is also very relatable especially if you have children or have had similar things happen in your family. The cast was amazing and editing are amazing. You forget that you are watching an independent film instead of a studio production. The message is strong and is sure to leave you wanting to watch this film again. If you know of anyone learning to drive or have kids, be sure they watch this film and take some lessons from it's message.

I am in awe of this film! The script is very well written and the Cinematography is just out of this world. The actors did an amazing job, every single one of them. The message of this Indie Film is very relatable to everyone.

One minute you're laughing and the next crying. I love movies like this! ! It was very touching and heart felt. I felt like I knew each character after I watched it and loved them all. Especially the 3 boys! They did really well!

There is a lot of talent wrapped up in this film. I have told many people to watch this movie and I encourage everyone to watch this amazing film!

This movie was well done from start to finish. The story pulls you in right away and takes you on a journey. Since seeing it, I have thought about this movie many times and the valuable lessons within it. It caused me to make different choices in my own life, which is saying a lot for a movie. This should be played far and wide as it could help literally save SO many lives. The message is also universal, relevant and would have an impact on both younger and older generations.

I would love to see more movies like this that have a powerful and lasting message that lingers with you for many years to come.

The main story line obviously drives the story line and teaches important lessons... but the side stories give opportunities for character development and create a video with a higher impact.

There were moments of sadness, joy, laughter, and more. I wish there was even more time to get to know some of the side stories! Can we get a follow up on the three boys? How are they now?

The filling was beautiful and the quality great in general- but especially for a small Indie film!

Definitely watch this film! I am excited for this film to be accessible to more people. The message can be life changing.

The film The Text should not only be seen by anyone who drives but a tool in drivers education courses. Students in the school corporation watch many films as learning tools. This film would be an excellent learning tool in our education program. A reminder to not text and drive!

A great independent film that keeps you engaged and entertained not to mention a great group of actors who take this movie to the next level. I'd love to see this film played in schools, at home, and in churches to educate all who get behind the wheel. If you get the opportunity to watch this movie take it! You will be glad you did!

After having watched The Text, as well as other movies from this company, I have to tell you it is a movie that needs to be shown to each and every teenager who has the responsibility of driving a car and needs to learn one of life's most valuable lessons. It has such a great message for viewers to watch, very family oriented. As with other movies from this company, each and every one has a lesson to be learned and is an edge of your seat cliffhanger. Have your tissues, your popcorn, and refreshments ready because you won't want to leave your seat. Get ready to enjoy every moment of the movie. I have purchased most of the movies from this company and watch them quite often. Please enjoy.

Wow, WOw, and WOW!! DID I SAY, "WOW?!" I encourage everybody to see this movie! I only will watch a movie if it is "family friendly." Not only is this movie "family friendly," but it is very entertaining! There's serious times, but there's some humor as well. (Stay until the credits to see an especially funny scene.) The writing is great and the actors did a great job! And not just the lead actors, but those with even just a few lines. Not only does this movie encourage people to not text and drive, but it does so by making Christ a centerpiece of the movie. Awesome message. So, please, go see it! And God bless. :)

This movie was simply incredible in all facets.

The nature of the topic, the story, cast, delivery of the story by the cast, cinematography, and just plain entertainment.

The movie provided love, light, laughter, tragedy, pain, poignancy, a definitive message, and entertainment.

Having seen other films by Dreams Come True, honestly, this was my favorite. You could tell that the writing was superb, the acting was world class, direction and filming were great as well.

In a world that has gone to its entertainment being almost utterly dark, explicit, horrifying; we need more filmmakers to put out content like this.

Kudo's to Candy for all that she has done and those who have helped along the way to see Dreams Come True to a reality and the films produced to be a cut above the rest.

So many times you expect indie films to be somewhat lacking in the acting & production value, but this is not the case with this film. Not only is this a relevant topic in today's phone zombie society, but it was very well made. The cinematography is very professional & the script was well written. I had the opportunity to see this film twice & it was even better the second time around. You won't be disappointed. It's a must see film for everyone.

My favorite part was when a certain someone returns home. Another fun segment was the "dream sequence" that you don't realize is a dream until it's over. Fun twist. And the neighbor mom was an amazing actress...very believable. You'll just have to watch to see what I mean. Well done, gang!

In my humble opinion, THE TEXT by Dreams Come True Films is a movie that everyone should see, especially parents of teenagers because there is an important lesson to learn about the dangers and consequences of texting and driving. But that's not all this movie offers. It has so many important messages.

I can see why The Text has won as many awards as it has. All of the characters who shared screen time together have amazing chemistry which is important in a film. There is nothing worse than watching a movie when actors do not have great chemistry.

Whether it's the subject of texting and driving or forgiveness, this film will have viewers thinking about it for weeks after you've seen it.

The entire cast and crew should be very proud of how well this movie turned out. It's definitely a MUST SEE film.

What a fantastic film with a great message. Everyone needs to see this and learn from it. Great acting and superb photgraphy and video work.

The film was done very professionally in Indiana. I have seen many of the areas that it was filmed at.

The Text keys on "texting and driving" which is one of the main reasons behind automobile fatalities in this era. Dont text and drive!

Enjoyed the entire plot and work the production team and actors put into this film. Hopefully this film saves lives by making people think twice before they pick up that cell phone to read or respond to a text message. Im sure it will.

Again great job! This film is a winner!

Grab a comfy blanket and hold on as you travel a high dialogue, heavy topic 2 hour film that holds nothing back. You'll see first hand on how our decisions affect those around us and can alter the course of another persons life. This rollercoaster of emotional topics has you wanting to jump off the ride, but you can't, because you want to know how it ends. Who lives? Who dies? How can our faith and trust in God turn around such a mess caused by one little action by one person that was warned of the consequences. I don't know that she even knew the ripple effect it would create. The writer considered all of the possibilities and left nothing on the cutting room floor. See for yourself and discover what can happen with a simple text.

This beautifully written movie is a must see. This awesome writer never disappoints The Text is amazing and one of my all-time favorite movies.. This movie has drama, suspense, humor a beautiful love story with a powerful message. It is a movie that I could watch over and over again. There are so many wonderful scenes that it would be hard to pick a favorite. What I love most is the fact that the characters are so real that each and everyone of them could be you or someone that you know. You will love the fact that you can watch this movie with anyone.church friends, family, teens. If you see any movie this year make sure it's The Text.

Witnessing the production of this film, I couldn't imagine how profoundly it would impact me while watching it in theaters. The message behind the film is extremely powerful. It's educational, heartbreaking & heartwarming. Well written & produced. The film brought important realities to the surface for me. How each and every moment makes a difference and to be conscious of how we utilize said moments. It portrays all the emotions we face in life. My heart was touched by the message in this film. I laughed, I cried. Sometimes at the same time. I enjoyed the realness of the film. Life is hard and it's beautiful and I genuinely appreciated The Text portraying the accuracy of this. The actors are superb, class acts! I encourage everyone to watch this film & really absorb the message. God bless you.

The Text is a great family film. From the beginning of the movie , it kept your attention. All the characters were great and it had a great story.

If people would be more interested in the family and less time on their phones. I personally have seen so many close calls on accidents. People run red lights and just don't watch for motorcycles .

I love that through this movie GOD was the center of the storyline. It definitely should be shown in movie theaters.

I believe that it should be shown for high school audiences or church youth groups. I got the chance to purchase a copy of The Text and glad to have it in my personal library of movies.

I love Dreams Comes True Films I have several other movies that they have made.

"The Text" is a movie with heart, and a message that is extremely pertinent in today's world. It's not often that a movie can so well walk the line between informing and entertaining, but this movie does it in excellent fashion. It was extremely well made and was beautifully filmed.

Texting and driving has become a huge problem in todays world, and this movie takes on that issue full force, and head on. It pulls at the heart strings and plants its message deep in the psyche. Hopefully it will be seen by many different viewers.

This film should be shown to all high school students to inform them of the dangers of texting and driving. Be sure to share it with those you love. It just might save a life.

This movie is very educational on multiple levels, appealing to multiple cultures and age groups. Anyone with a cellphone can relate to the message this movie sends-the consequences of texting and driving.

Educational, emotional, and eloquently written, this Christian film is a must see for teens and up. The scenes are all incredibly realistic, allowing the viewer to fully immerse themselves into the movie, consequently developing empathy for the actors. Th quality of this film is beyond what I anticipated, and was pleasantly surprised at how well the production was executed. You don't want to miss this incredibly influential film.

Was glad that I took the time to be at the showing of her production. Everyone that came with me enjoyed it emensly. It was really easy to follow it.

There is no way that I can comprehend the work of putting such a finished product as it turned out to be is mind boggeling. I know she leaned heavily on God the author and finisher. We need more movies like this. I am exited to know that we will be able to see it soon again. Now is wished that I had been in it when she asked for extras. O well maybe the next one.

She is so talented. It was on full display. I can't wait to see it again. I will be telling everyone again about it.

The Text is a feature film with several powerful messages. Heavy topics are explored in a family friendly way that doesn't diminish the gravity of the message. From published author and award winning filmmaker Candy Beard, the Text will inspire thought provoking conversations amongst those of all ages. Award winning cast, filmed and produced in the American heartland by a cast and crew with Christian ideals, and family values. I'm proud to have been part of consulting on the medical scene, and being able to support the production of this important piece of cinematography financially as well. The Text is more than just a movie, it's a warning call to action. Watch the Text... two thumbs way up!

Such a beautifully written film that provides a message that so many can relate to and one that so many can learn from.

The cinematography and audio work on the film was high quality- easily worthy of an A rating. The music provided, as well, was perfect and beautifully suited for this film. Overall an amazing and talented crew!

In regards to the actors, the variation of emotions which range from fun & sweet to intense & heart wrenching, were presented authentically by a talented cast, from lead to supporting to background.

Truly a great film that leaves you thinking on the messages it conveys. I absolutely recommend this film and also recommend having tissues within reaching distance!

I truly enjoyed watching "The Text ". It was a funny, heartfelt, sad, and happy film all wrapped into one. The main story line involving texting and driving also weaved in other secondary stories which all portrayed pain, yet beautiful pictures of forgiveness and redemption. Each character was well cast and relatable. While watching the film, I felt as though all the characters were personally familiar! And the message of being addicted to phones and how it affects relationships caused me to evaluate my own phone usage! Thankful to my friend for sharing "The Text" with me!

I highly recommend this film.

I really loved this film!!! The story and the subject matter are great and you can feel the story come to life in the writing of the story and the acting of the actors!!! I loved everything about the film!!! This film made me think about texting and driving and I think it is a great tool for teaching drivers about the dangers of texting while driving!!! I especially loved the music and how it brought the film to life and how the editing felt so smooth and realistic!!! I can't wait to see the film again and show it to my family and friends and maybe set up a filming in my church!!! Thankful for films like this and we need to see more!!!

THE TEXT by Dreams Come True Films, is one that will inspire, invoke raw emotions, and create a unique decision of anyone who has had the unfortunate experience to witness first-hand loss of a loved one due to a text written while a person driving caused an accident. The actors in this film express the heartache, and the need for forgiveness to go forward with their lives after a terrible accident.

All student drivers, and their parents would benefit by watching this film together and discuss the horrible things that can happen when a text is written in the wrong moment. A must see by all who drive!!

This is a film that could be shown to any group who can relate to instilling forgiveness for any wrongdoing done to them or others, in a church or school setting. This faith-based film is just one of those written and produced by Candy Beard and the exceptional cast and crew she puts together, can be enjoyed as a learning tool for high school students learning to drive and how their actions can change lives in an instant.

The cinematography is up close and personal, the music, by award-winning composer, is mesmerizing, the writing--exceptional, and the acting is so real and believable.

Amazingly done on a shoestring budget, lessons learned cannot be measured by the amount spent on spreading the importance of one's actions. Kudos to all involved!

This movie is excellent for your young teen to watch prior to getting their driver's license or one who already has it and also has a cell phone as most do. Is well made and good acting throughout.

This movie explains well the importance of not worrying about a text message versus focusing on your driving. The consequences reach far and wide through friends and family, whether you are there to experience it or not. It is definitely a movie that should be purchased and watched at home for any family with teenagers or soon to be drivers on the road.

Woul definitely recommend it for anyone to watch.
