Frequently Asked Questions
Top Questions
- Are you making a Left Behind IV?
Cloud Ten has placed its development of the next film in its Left Behind series on hold, as a result of an agreement reached between Cloud Ten and Tim LaHaye, the author of the Left Behind book series. Cloud Ten has agreed to allow Tim LaHaye the opportunity to make a Left Behind film. If Mr. LaHaye does not go forward with his plans to produce a Left Behind movie, then Cloud Ten will be able to develop its film rights. At this time, we are not able to comment on the time frame that is set up for Mr. LaHaye to create new Left Behind movies, or when we would be able to regain our rights to the series due to the confidential nature of the agreement. Stay up to date on this topic by checking our website and becoming a fan of our Facebook page to receive the latest updates and news regarding the Left Behind series.
- What happened to the Cloud Ten message board?
During the interval between releasing one picture and going into production on the next, it has become too difficult to maintain the Message Board properly. We understand how popular this feature was and apologize that it is no longer available. We appreciate your interest and support, and we have set-up a Cloud Ten message board with our friends at One Way Films. You can find the new message board by clicking here.
- When is the next movie in the Apocalypse series coming out?
We are currently developing the fifth movie in the Apocalypse series - keep checking our website and become a fan of our Facebook page to receive the latest news and updates about its release!
- How can I submit a script to Cloud Ten for review?
Since it's impossible for us to read everything sent our way, and for legal reasons, we've decided to no longer accept unsolicited scripts - long form or short form.
However, if you want, please send us a one to two page synopsis of your story. We can take a quick look at it and see if it meets our immediate needs and interests. Unfortunately, there are many factors (many that don't have anything to do with the quality of the idea or writing) that may determine the nature of our response. If we want to see more we'll ask you to sign a release form and then for the full script.
You can send a synopsis directly to our Office Manager via email at info@cloudtenpictures.com and it will be forwarded to our producer for review.
- How can I be an actor/extra in a Cloud Ten movie?
We are usually working with a very limited budget. This means that we cannot afford to bring many (if any) people in from outside the local area. And, even if we did have the budget, there are Union rules and local competition that makes it challenging as well. ACTRA is the Canadian Actors Union that ensures we use Canadians (and usually Union members) for cast on our productions. There are some exceptions but they are normally reserved for 'name' stars.
We recommend checking with other Christian production companies on the internet - these may include Envision Entertainment; TBN; 8X Entertainment; Namesake Entertainment; Signal Hill Productions; World Wide Pictures. A couple of good internet resources to check are www.wired4film.com and the www.christian-movie.com.

Investor Relations
How can I invest in a Cloud Ten Pictures film?
We're currently developing some exciting films and looking for financing for production. You would be investing in the right to profit participation
Your money would be used to produce the movie. The first money made by the movie would cover distribution and production costs - which would include your financing. Once all production and distribution expenses have been recouped, you would receive a percentage of profits based on the proportional size of your financing.
We are not selling any ownership of the production or our company (no stocks) and cannot guarantee the investment; however, ALL of our past films have made significant profits.
Because of paperwork etc. we would need a minimum investment of $100,000. I know film financing may sound very different from what you're used to but we know what we're doing and have a solid track record to back it up. If you would like more information please let me know. We're dedicated to making faith-affirming films to touch others and return an investment to those who support us in that process.
Also - if you know of anyone else who may be interested in such an investment we can pay a finder's fee for any leads that net financing.
We have heard that Cloud Ten has settled its lawsuit with Tim LaHaye - is this true?
Yes. We are very pleased to confirm that Cloud Ten has settled its legal disputes with Tim LaHaye. As part of the settlement agreement, Cloud Ten and Mr. LaHaye have entered an agreement that would allow Mr. LaHaye to re-acquire the film and television rights it previously sold, which enabled Cloud Ten and co-producers Namesake Entertainment to produce the Left Behind series of films. Cloud Ten has put its development of Left Behind films on hold and has agreed to allow Tim LaHaye the opportunity to put together the producing partners and financing necessary to make films based on his Left Behind books. If Mr. LaHaye does exercise his option to remake the films and reacquire Cloud Ten's rights, then Cloud Ten will, once again, be able to develop its rights to make sequels to its Left Behind films.
