History

Founded in 2005, Crystal Creek Media quickly began producing short films and promotional videos. After completing production for several short films and commercial projects, such as a promotional for the Titan Century 5000 disaster relief unit (marketed to the United States Department of Homeland Security), plans were begun for a feature film. With investors attracted and story concept approved, a script was soon in the making. Since then the company has done a number of feature films in the family and faith-based genre.

Film festivals

Crystal Creek's film Creed of Gold was shown at several film festivals and was nominated for an Adam Award for Best Feature Drama at the Sabaoth International Film Festival in Milan, Italy.[1] Creed of Gold was also featured in the H2F2 Film Festival and won a Redemptive Storyteller Award at the Redemptive Film Festival.[2]

Christmas Grace won a Stellae Award for Best "4 to 14" film at the 6th annual Pan Pacific Film Festival in Los Angeles.[3]

Courageous Love won the Audience Choice Award for Best Independent Feature at the 2017 Winnipeg Film Festival.[4][5]
