I DREAMT I SAW THE MESSIAH TV Series
Based on Rob DeMaggio’s new novel, I DREAMT I SAW THE MESSIAH.
SUMMARY
Jacob, a young orthodox rabbi, who finds his life and family very ordinary, dreams one night – a once in a life time dream. He discovers, to his shock and consternation, that he has invited THE MESSIAH to his local synagogue. But when the Messiah appears at the synagogue’s bema, “shock and awe” are not adequate to describe Jacob’s response to the one messiah no Jew wants to admit to. He tries desperately to push down, drive back and otherwise forget the dream – but Bashert/Destiny will not allow him. The story of I Dreamt I Saw the Messiah is about the conflicts, mischiefs, adventures and sorrows a rabbi must endure to be true to his dream and his soul – who is also a character in the story, and always compels him to be true to himself – even if it makes you a “fool,” and an outcast. I Dreamt I Saw the Messiah is poignant, often funny and always compelling. It’s a good read!

MERRY CHANUKAH
The film has been nominated for BEST SCREENPLAY by the International Christian Film Festival in Orlando Florida! It will be available to the general public in May, 2026.
Production has now been completed for our latest film, Merry Chanukah!
Merry Chanukah is a serious comedy about the spiritual connection between the Jewish festival of Chanukah and the Christian Celebration of Christmas. This will also be the first Galilee Film to incorporate animation to tell the Chanukah and Christmas stories. Surprising and enlightening, this short film is meant to explore the biblical roots of the Christian faith.
It is our hope and prayer that it will gain serious attention at Christian film festivals around the country.
