When asked about her connection to the film Abducted to Kill, Lena had this to say:
Q. What makes ATK different from other projects you have
worked on?
Lena: Abducted to
Kill is a movie and novel project that depicts forgiveness, hope, and love
in our fallen world. It shows that there’s nothing we can do that is too bad
for God to forgive. There are plenty of people, even Christians, who need to
completely understand that concept. Through an action/romance movie is a good
way to present it.
Q. What inspired you to work on ATK?
Lena: Actually, when the producer asked me to be a
screenwriter on the project, I told her I had to pray and make sure God wants
me to be involved. Through a series of events, He showed me, three different
times, that He wanted me to. I am totally committed to seeing this story on the
silver screen—and on DVD, maybe even a novel.
Q. Where do you see the project going in the next few
weeks/months/years?
Lena: I believe this movie will make a real impact on
the unstable political and religious climate in the world today. After this
film is finished and distributed, I see Higher Ground Films producing more
movies that will make an impact on people’s hearts and lives.
Q. Why do you want to work on a faith-based film?
Lena: As the members of the Ground team connect with
each other, there is always lots of prayer about what we should do at any
given time. It’s exciting to be involved with other Christians who share the
same vision I have.
I’m also a Christian novelist, and everything I write is
meant to entertain, encourage, provide hope, and point toward the Lord.
Faith-based films fit with my goal for why I write, and I praise the Lord for
opening new doors of opportunity to me.
