Beyond the Mask is a 2015 Christian historical action-adventure film starring Andrew Cheney, John Rhys-Davies, and Kara Kilmer and directed by Chad Burns.[5] Taking place during the American Revolution, the film follows an ex-mercenary (Andrew Cheney) who attempts to redeem himself from a life of murder by becoming a masked vigilante helping to overthrow the British in the colonies.

Releases

Burns Family Studios released Beyond the Mask in April 6, 2015[1] and after increasing demand and talks with movie theaters,[2] Burns Family Studios reached an agreement with film distributor Gathr to release the films to 111 movie theaters nationwide on June 5, 2015.

The film was to be released on DVD on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 in 3900 Walmart stores across the U.S., but some didn't receive copies until a few days later due to a distribution snafu. The DVD was also available on Amazon, ChristianCinema.com, and its own website (beyondthemaskmovie.com), along with a "making of" book, soundtrack CD (which had been released substantially earlier), and other promotional merchandise.

Reception

The Christian movie review site PluggedIn gave the film four out of five "Plugs" (Units for measuring family-friendliness).[7] The Christian media site BreatheCast gave the film four stars, saying "The movie's fight choreography and period costuming are to be commended. With a slim budget of $4 million, Burns Family Productions manages to create a film that visually rivals many big budget movies of the same genre (such as 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'Zorro'.) The film was met with great enthusiasm from fans across the US and in multiple other countries.

The movie was partially funded by a 2011 Kickstarter campaign."[3]
