G&P (Grace and Peace) Productions:
The 168 team for 2010 is being led by Jack McClintock and Matt Maynard of G&P Productions.
-G&P productions stands for Grace and Peace. Grace and Peace. These two words can be found in numerous places within the Holy Word. They are often used to mark the beginning of the apostle Pauls letters. The entirety and truly awesome power of these two simple words will also mark the beginning of all our productions as a reminder of the Grace and Peace that has been poured onto us from our father above. We strive to make films that glorify the kingdom and seek to motivate, inspire, educate, and encourage the world.
Grace and peace,
Jack McClintock
-Executive Producer: G&P Productions

What is Run Of the Mill Productions?
Run of the Mill Productions is a team of people with diverse backgrounds with the common interest of making Bible-based inspirational films. A ministry of Upper Arlington Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio, we were formed in 2007 as a way to participate in the 168 Film Project - a worldwide competition in speed filmmaking founded by John Ware, a son of our congregation.
What We Do
We participate in the 168 Film Project speed filmmaking competition. Based on a theme picked by the organizers in California, teams from all over the world are given a Bible verse in early February. About a week is then given to do preproduction - write a script, cast the characters, choose locations, assemble equipment and staff. Then on an assigned date, at an exact hour, filming begins. The project is then due in the California office exactly 168 hours (or one week) later. In other words, we have one week to shoot, edit and deliver a short inspirational film.
We are also now working to broaden the use of Run of The Mill Productions to other projects throughout the year. When the need for a creative film project arises at UALC, we can bring members of the team together to produce films for ministry use, as we did for the 2009 National Day of Prayer prayer breakfast keynote.
How we do it
Run of the Mill Productions is a donor-supported ministry, launched by the Visual Arts Ministry of UALC. We receive no funds from the UALC church budget, but all donations made to the UALC 168 Project Fund are set aside for this purpose. Making films is not an inexpensive enterprise, but with volunteered labor, donated equipment, sets and material, generous cash donations, and abundant prayer support, we make powerful films with limited budgets. Please explore our Web site to see the many ways you can participate.
