Dave and Rich Christiano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave and Rich Christiano (born October 2, 1956) are Christian filmmakers and twin brothers. Born and raised in Waterloo, New York, the brothers first went to Hollywood at age 20 in hopes to produce films. When they both became Christians a couple of years later, they turned in a new direction and went on to produce films in the Christian film industry. Starting in 1985, the Christiano Brothers have been two of the most prominent producers of Christian films, without compromise of message, and yet always trying to present entertaining stories in their projects. Their first 8 films were all considered dramatic shorts, each under an hour in length, which was standard for the Christian film industry at that time. Their movies have played on virtually every known Christian Television Network world-wide.

In 2002, they formed Five & Two Pictures as their distribution company for theatrical films and released their first feature length film in theaters, Time Changer, which eventually played in 310 theaters. They followed four years later with the UFO drama, Unidentified which was a much smaller release and only played in 85 theaters. They since have produced their third theatrical film which is being planned for a much wider release, the love story Me & You, Us, Forever, on February 15th, 2008.

The brothers also turned to weekly television in 2004 when Dave first began production on his TV series, 7th Street Theater. The series began airing weekly on Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world's largest faith-based TV Network, on March 3rd, 2007 (Saturday nights at 11pm est, 10pm cst, 9pm mst, and 8pm pst). It was the first ever prime time Christian drama series in the history of broadcasting.
