Bringing top Hollywood speakers to the conference has meant a world to me personally as I cross over to producing theatrical films. Thanks ICVM for changing with the times, yet staying rooted in the past and principles you began with.”

“We are from England, where there are not many Christian production companies. It was a blessing to be able to mix with our brothers and sisters in the Lord from around the world and to admire the excellence of their work. There was no hype or competition, but a genuine concern to encourage one another.”

“We joined ICVM 19 years ago. In that time, I have never missed a conference. ICVM continues to be an essential part of the process that makes our business successful, with the amazing bonus of deep friendships that will last a lifetime.”

“ICVM is an oasis where those that understand the demands of the industry pray for you and help you to stand firm like a tree planted by streams of water.”

“The thing I LOVE about ICVM is that I have so many incredible lifelong friends there who are committed to the great commission and love God and His people.”

“I love the spiritual uplifting [I receive] and being around others who share the same love for the industry as I do!”

Our Mission

Since 1972

“To be a supportive Christian community for those involved in the production and distribution of visual media; encouraging and networking to communicate Christ to the world.”

Our History

ICVM is a community of Christians involved in bringing the message of Christ to the world through the use of media. As an organization, we are committed to bringing together like-minded individuals with the same passion, and helping our members multiply their effectiveness through every possible opportunity.

ICVM started with the advent of the Christian film industry. Many companies formed to meet the demand of more and better quality dramatic movies with a spiritual emphasis. Children’s videos started to proliferate as more and more parents became frustrated with what was coming out of Hollywood.

Today ICVM is a consortium of producers and distributors making a difference in the world through visual media. The ICVM membership family includes media organizations and media missionaries as well as individual video producers, independent writers, directors, actors and even some individuals who are simply interested in supporting Christian films and filmmakers.

Whatever your niche, we ask you to prayerfully consider joining this group who will encourage you to fulfill God’s call for your life.
