First-ever Full Length Hyper-realistic AI Film in History
Charlotte, NC — [April 29, 2025] — The new faith-based feature film Marked or Delivered, directed by Gerald McGlothlin, is setting viewership records at Bridgestone Media Group and its popular streaming platform EncourageTV — as the most-watched new release in the company’s recent history.
Bridgestone Media Group, a veteran leader in Christian and family-friendly film distribution for more than three decades, has distributed hundreds of faith-based titles around the world. Marked or Delivered is now on track to become the company’s top-performing film of the year after only a few days online.
Directed by two-time ICFF award winner Gerald McGlothlin (A Long Way Off, Unbridled), Marked or Delivered tells a gripping story of a faithful family navigating moral collapse and persecution in a near-future ‘Latter Days” dystopian world. Using a unique blend of hyper-realistic AI-assisted performance capture and powerful storytelling, the film delivers a message of faith, perseverance, and redemption that Christian audiences are rallying around.
“At a time when families are searching for hope, Marked or Delivered offers a message of unshakable faith,” said Director Gerald McGlothlin.
“It’s humbling to see viewers embracing the film so strongly right out of the gate.”
Released across EncourageTV’s digital platforms, the film has already achieved some of the highest early viewership numbers of any Bridgestone Media Group release this year — and is projected to continue its growth in the coming weeks.
