"'Widow's Might' is a groundbreaking film, even though it is a first feature film from a teenaged director," Geoff Botkin, veteran film producer and film festival judge said. "It is one of the most original high-concept features in recent film history."

Botkin said the film succeeded in portraying a wholesome family message.

"The story is innovative in ways that can inspire the next generation of filmmakers, many of whom are looking for ways to break out of tired cinematic cliches," he added.

The film opened in 94 cities across the midwest and south and has been compared to other acclaimed Christian films such as 'Fireproof.'
