After selling out his last screening, Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure, in March 2012, Kirk Cameron is back, in association with the Athena Grand, NCM Fathom and Provident Films, for the live event, Unstoppable.
“We feel that these things are important because they allow our audiences to see and experience something impactful and meaningful,” said Rick Frame, manager of the Athena Grand.
Monumental was the first Athena Grand/NCM Fathom event ever to sell out, according to Frame and, as of Sept. 20, there are only 30 tickets of Unstoppable left to sell. The popularity of this event has caused the Athena Grand to create an encore screening on October 3 at 7 p.m.
“These screenings bring a lot of new people who typically would not come to visit our theater,” Frame said. “It’s (Kirk’s) opinions and thoughts on the world, and they provide a very interesting discussion on the world.”
Broadcasting live from Liberty University, Cameron will be taking viewers on “his most personal and inspiring role to date,” according to NCM Fathom’s website, as he investigates the moral origins of good and evil, their inspirational value and historical significance to us today.
“When NCM Fathom Events first teamed up with Kirk Cameron for his Monumental event in 2012, the response from audiences across the country was overwhelmingly positive,” said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of NCM Fathom Events. “This year fans will experience another powerful evening of inspirational storytelling with Unstoppable.”
Included in the event will be a live musical performance by Warren Barfield, a live Q & A with audience members via Twitter and a special surprise guest in the faith-based community.
Everyone involved, including Michelle Portillo, senior manager of PR and communications for NCM Fathom, promises that audiences will have a meaningful experience watching Cameron speak about faith and the world today.
“You are going to see something that, no matter what denomination you are in, is going to provide a strong message in how we live in the world today,” Frame said.
