Celina, Texas Podcast: Can two men change the world? Maybe. Steve Dini and Joren Christensen are certainly trying with their new faith based movie The Great Turkey Town Miracle set to be released November, 2023.
This faith based movie is inspired by the real life challenges and adversity that both Dini and Christensen have faced. The two writers combined their own life events into one central character (played by veteran actor Angus Benfield) for the creation of The Great Turkey Town Miracle.
With most of the movie filmed on location in Celina, Texas, both Dini and Christensen developed a real passion for the Celina community. In their own words, Celina was amazing. Of course, if you already know about Life in Celina, Texas then you would agree.
In this episode, writers Dini and Christensen sat down with host Ron Lyons and discussed their journey from dream to reality with their movie. A common phrase around Celina Texas is Life Connected. In this case, life truly connected for both Dini and Christensen and the result is a movie set to premiere just in time for the hoildays that each of them hope will serve to touch and change lives!
