Our Goal |
In September of 2016, Clare Vining, Mary Vining, Luke Gonzalez, and Joe Wilder founded JVGPictures. Clare and Mary started hosting film meets on Saturdays, once a month, at which the founders and their friends created short films and practiced story writing, cinematography, etcetera. It was also in September 2016 that Clare Vining and Luke Gonzalez started working on Cyber Attack, the group's largest project so far. It premiered on December 30th, 2017. That evening, Clare Vining started working on her next project, Seek First which was released January 1st, 2019. As of right now, Clare and Mary Vining are working on their latest film, The Light of Virsa. JVGPictures has continued to host film meets, and you can now find quite a few short films created by the group's members on the JVGPictures YouTube channel.

Our goal is to bring together Catholic Homeschoolers who are interested in filmmaking, so that they can support each other in making films that honor God and bring Him glory. We are doing our very best to prepare ourselves to bring hope and joy and goodness into one of the world's darkest places. Please pray that God will guide us as we strive to increase the quality of our films every day.

Interested in Joining?
No experience is necessary! Catholic Homeschoolers ages 6-18 are invited to our monthly film meetings in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Meetings are at one of our team members’ houses on a Saturday, usually from 3:30-7:00. Each family orders their own pizza for dinner, or you can bring dinner for your family. You can bring a camera, costumes, or any equipment you would like. During the meeting, we will practice filmmaking, screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and more. Sometimes we will also have talks on leadership when directing, the purpose of Christian films, etcetera. Contact us at [email protected], or using our contact page if you have any questions or are interested in joining!
