CONCEIVABLE: A Film for the Women We Don't Talk About Enough

Hey! If you have just ten minutes and a warm cup of coffee or tea, I’d love to sit with you and tell you about my friend Beth and the film she’s launching this October. It reaches an audience we don’t often hear about. Got a moment?

Pastor Turned Filmaker

Beth is a pastor turned filmmaker, and her movie, Conceivable, is based on something that actually happened to her — a surprise pregnancy in her 40s, right when she thought that chapter of life was closed.
We actually met Beth over a year ago and had her on a webinar at that time, so when we heard about the film’s upcoming release, we jumped on it and invited her back. 

Did you know....

Something I didn’t realize is that most women in that exact spot Beth found herself in, a little later in life, further along in their career or their family, end up choosing abortion. It’s not the picture most people have in their head when they hear “unplanned pregnancy.” We tend to picture someone younger, earlier in life, maybe scared and alone in a very different way. Beth’s story is a reminder that the fear doesn’t disappear just because a woman is older, married, or further along in her career. If anything, it shows up dressed differently — as practicality, as timing, as “we already have our plan.”
 
What I love about the film is that Beth didn’t try to clean the story up to make it easier to watch. She shows the financial fear — the very real math of “can we afford this now” — and the strain it puts on a marriage when two people aren’t seeing the same future anymore. She shows well-meaning people who somehow still don’t help, because they don’t know what to say or they say the wrong thing entirely. And then, without rushing past any of that, she shows what it actually looks like when someone finally gets real support. Not a speech. Not a Bible verse thrown at her like a solution. Just somebody willing to sit with her in it, pray with her, and truly listen.

What do you tell someone...

Someone in the webinar asked Beth what she’d say to a woman going through this right now, today, and she didn’t hesitate. She said she’s not alone. That her feelings are real, and that of course this is hard — nobody should pretend it isn’t. And she said there’s a name for the kind of help a woman like that needs: a pregnancy center. Honestly, that’s the whole reason I wanted to write to you about this. It’s the exact message our centers say to women every single day, just told through a story instead of a brochure, and reaching people who might never open a brochure in the first place.

Beth mentioned something else that stuck with me. After an early screening, a woman in her 70s came up to her — retired, long past the years most people associate with this kind of decision — and told Beth that watching the film made her realize she still had healing work left to do from an abortion decades earlier. She said she knew God had forgiven her, and she had a good relationship with Him, but the film stirred something she hadn’t fully looked at.

That’s not something you can plan for or script into a movie on purpose. It just tells you the story is doing something real. Since then, Beth has started connecting with abortion-recovery ministries who are partnering with the film, using it as an entry point into their own support groups for women and men who are still carrying something from years ago.

Get Involved or Show Up

Here’s where you and your center or organization come in, and I promise this part isn’t complicated. Conceivable hits theaters this October, with a handful of early Thursday-night showings ahead of the wide release.
🎬

What

Request a group showing of Conceivable. Free to ask, no commitment. Share a headcount, the theater sends a price, you decide.

It’s an unusually crowded season for new releases this year, which means theaters are being more selective than usual about which films get screens and which get pushed aside. One of the best things a center can do — genuinely, at no cost and no commitment — is request a group showing through the film’s Theater Booking Request form. You give an estimated headcount, the theater works out pricing, and you decide from there whether it’s a fit. It doesn’t obligate you to anything. But it does something real for Beth and for the film: it tells theater chains there’s an actual audience waiting, which matters a lot when a distributor is trying to convince someone to hold a screen for a faith-based film over a studio release with ten times the marketing budget.

Why

It's a crowded season. Your request shows theaters a real audience is waiting, which helps keep the film on screens. Plus, it's a fresh way to gather donors and community.

It’s also just a good excuse to do something different with your donors or your community this fall. Instead of another banquet or another mailer, imagine inviting your donor list to a screening night, or partnering with a local church to bring people in who’ve never set foot in your building. A film like this opens a door that a pamphlet never will, and it gives people something to talk about afterward — which, if we’re honest, is usually when the real conversations happen anyway.

How

Visit conceivablethemovie.com → Theater Booking Request. Or start small: watch the trailer.

If you want to look into it, the form is on conceivablethemovie.com under Theater Booking Request. Or start smaller — just watch the trailer and see if it grabs you the way it grabbed me. There’s also a companion book coming out around the same time, going behind the scenes of the ministry story behind the film, if you want the fuller picture before you bring any of this to your team or your board.

Take a moment and check it out

I know your inbox is already full and your week is probably spoken for twice over. Every center we work with hears about a dozen things a month that are supposedly “must-see” or “perfect for your audience.” But every once in a while something crosses my desk that feels like it was actually made for the families you sit with every week, not just loosely on-theme with your mission. This is one of those, and I wanted you to be one of the first to know.

 

Pour another cup if you need to. Then take a look.
