St. Alexander Briant, English Martyr, executed with St. Edmund Campion – upcoming DVD

COMING SOON a new film on the life of St. Alexander Briant, one of our heroic English Martyrs.  St. Alexander Briant was only 25 when he was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn after having to witness his friends Fr. Edmund Campion and Fr. Ralph Sherwin brutally executed before him.  He had suffered greatly in the Tower of London, enduring the thumbscrews, iron spikes thrust under his nails, ‘The Scavenger’s Daughter’ and the infamous ‘Rack’ several times, but he had remained calm and had even laughed at his tormentors saying “Is this all you can do?”  St. Alexander Briant is here presented in a new film using specially recreated moments of his life, combined with sacred art, historical images, narration, and more for an encounter with this heroic Catholic priest.   COMING SOON. 

Meanwhile, check out our two DVDs on St. Edmund Campion: Saint Edmund Campion: a Hero Returns (1 hour) is available exclusively from our online shop and God’s Champion: St. Edmund Campion (30 minutes) is available from Amazon COM and Amazon UK.

New St. Thomas More DVD cover

It’s only been out for a month but we’ve updated the DVD cover by adding a fantastic quote by G.K. Chesterton, the Apostle of Common Sense on the front.  We’ve also placed an allusion to one of St. Thomas More’s most famous quotes, spoken at the block on Tower Hill, at the top of the cover too.  We think this makes the DVD look more interesting as the film itself is packed full of facts, details, history and Faith and is well worth the encounter with this amazing English Martyr.  St. Thomas More by Mary’s Dowry Productions is available worldwide from our online website or from AMAZON UK and AMAZON COM.  Costumed portrayals, historical imagery, maps, narrative, scenery and more make this an original and informative Catholic DVD.  Priced at £12.99.  This is already a popular film on an heroic Englishman who died bravely for the Catholic Faith in 1535.

Catholic Movies

Purposely choosing not to follow the mainstream style of film making, Mary’s Dowry Productions, based in the South of England, open new doorways into the world of encountering the Catholic Saints and Martyrs through the visual media.  With a whole range of films on DVD that treat carefully and with devotion figures such as Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa, Saint Edmund Gennings, Kateri Tekakwitha, Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Thomas More and many others, the actors and producers willingly disappear behind the message and the life of the Saints.  First and foremost it is about Christ and His great Love for those who are prepared to give everything to love Him in this world.  Using original music that captures the mind and heart, the visuals are carefully filmed and edited to present the viewer with Truth and beauty, heart and soul.  Rich in history, details, facts and insights, the love of the Saint shines forth in these new and stirring films that cause one to think, to pause, to change.  The team is young and passionate about the Catholic Faith, they are independent and you won’t find them linked to many sites or spoken about – they’re happy and determined to remain hidden behind their growing range of films that point always to Christ through the glorious witness of these heroes of the Faith.  The narrative is like a flaming sword of Truth that presents clearly and boldly the teachings of the Faith, Catholic beliefs and uses the very words of the Saints and the Martyrs to present an encounter with the person and the message.  This is how Catholic films should be - presenting the Truth in a way that leads to spiritual growth and devotion, untainted by the secular culture, pure and refreshing, interested in only presenting a Saint, a message and a reminder of eternity  - for these films are about the Saints and the richness of the Catholic Faith in its pureness and its timeless reality.  www.marysdowryproductions.org
