Youth Films

Created by the Youth Films division of Gospel Films, and produced by American evangelical leader Rev. Billy Zeoli, this dramatic Christian teenage narrative questions the values of modern youth, portraying them as selfish, impulsive, and disconnected from deeper purpose. The story then shifts blame to emotionally absent parents who replace love with money and dismissive gestures and risky behaviors. This leads the characters to many forms of conflict, pain, and tragedy, including drug use, illness and even abortion. A powerful presentation of the gospel message follows, emphasizing Jesus’ resurrection and the hope He provides for those burdened by guilt and confusion. There is longing for a new beginning—“the flip side.” The story concludes with a musical call to decision. The film challenges the viewer to personally respond to Christ’s offer of new life.

Misfit (also known as The Misfit) is a lost 1965 American faith-based educational film directed by Bob O'Donnell. It stars Steven Jones, Warren Day, and Sandra Peabody. It follows a high school drop out (Jones), a drug addict (Peabody), and a "religious dropout" (Day) who rekindles his religion and helps the titular "misfit" find himself. Produced by Empire Studios, the film was distributed through churches, schools, penal institutions, and military bases before a worldwide release by Youth Films.
