What is InLighten?
Lectionary-based, original short films for use in worship, Sunday school, bible study & classrooms.
InLighten Films is a subscription-based service that releases original, scripture-based short films weekly based on the lectionary calendar. Each short film (3-4 minutes) is matched to a Bible passage, lectionary reading, or theme of the Christian faith. A distinguished network of filmmakers delivers a new premiere every week exclusively for subscribers.
InLighten Films are memorable documentaries or scripted dramas artfully crafted by master storytellers that connect with audiences on a personal level. The diversity of films - whether current or historic, poignant or humorous, local or international - are a valuable resource for Instructors and Preachers in their work of teaching and spiritual formation. The films maybe streamed on-line or downloaded and shown during worship, in Sunday school, in bible study, or in a classroom. Our theater-quality content is available only to active subscribers.

The Founder’s Inspiration
The idea for InLighten Films originated with filmmaker Scott Galloway. A storyteller at heart, Scott’s upbringing as a ‘pastor’s kid’ was similar to many others in his situation...a mixed bag of conformity and mischief along the journey of identifying his own personal faith.
Scott has worked in the entertainment industry for 30 years, writing and directing feature and short films, producing more than 800 television shows for 16 networks and creating an international film festival that celebrates film shorts.
Although the lineage of a pastoral ancestry doesn’t qualify Scott as a Biblical Scholar himself, he has directly observed the challenges pastors face in preparing to preach and connecting with parishioners from the pulpit. InLighten Films is Scott’s way of introducing ‘Bible-based Short Films’ into the worship experience to visually complement a Pastor-Teacher’s explanation, interpretation, and application of Scripture.
